Isalem     was     captured    from     the    Jebusites.

Ijah  assumed  the  reins  of  govermaeut,  while  his 
father  David    l.iy  dying,  iu   order  lo   exclude 
Solomon,  the  favored  son    of  Ballisheba.     In 
Ulijimttiediate  vicinity  was  enai  ted  the  whole 
lUl^odj  drama  of  the  wars  in  tliL'  times   of  ihe 
jes.     Here,  finally,  long  bclore  the  age   of 
I  the  prophets,  the  Sun  worshijjers  had  perforin- 
ledDieir  riies,  and  here,  at  last  they  tbuiid  am  )ng 
the  tents  of  a  mighty  prince  (Gen.  xx\Jl  ,

the    main  town  is  divi.hnl  into  three    ((uarters, 
separated  from  each  otli-  r  by  gate.s,   which    at 
night  arc  kept  closed.     The  Jews  have  a  (gar- 
ter, or  Hatzere,  to  themselves,     'i'he  streets  are 
narrow,  angular  and  gloomy,  and    the   houses 
which  are  flat  roofed,  and  of  stone,  and   which 
were  originally  well  built  and  lighttx],  are  said 
to  bo  much  dilapidated.     The  roofs  themselves 
are  formed  of  domes  ;  a  style  of  architecture 
prevalent  at  Jerusalem,  and  in  general  through- 
out the  Kast,  where  timber  is  scarce.     The  old 
town,  of  which  ihe  ruins  are  still    visible,  was 
situated  larther  up  the    hill.     The   population 
"f  modern  Hebron   is  variously  8tate<l  at  from 
four  to  seven  thousand  ;  but  the  lormer  estimate 
probably  comes  nearer  ihe  truth.     It   is   com-

about  a  yard  in  length.  They  yield  an  excellent

and  the  mart  of  a  busy  and  lucrative  commerce 
its  population,  wealth  and  trade  are  now  con- 
stantly decreasing.     The  last  terrible  blow  it 
sufli'red  was  that  inflicted  in  \d3-i,  by  Ibrahim 
I'acha,  who  took  it  by  stwn  and  gave  it  up  to 
pillage,  simply  becau»c  its  inhabitants  resisted 
the  Kgyptian  contfcription,  and  wished  to  throw

purchased  there  can  be  no  doubt  ;  mr  dofs

Tradition  ascribes  the^ork— the  Mo?(iiie 
and  Its  enclt*ure,  to  the  time  of  Ileleim.  0th- 
trs  are  of  I'pinicn  that  the  church  which  the 
mother  of  (Jonstantiiie  raised  over  the  sep- 
ulchre, and  which  thr  Mohumniedans  convert 
ed  into  a  Mii,'-i|ue  Wiis  nol  built  till  long  after 
the  JeWHhtid  ine'osed  with  this  wall  the  tombs 
of  their  I'atriarchs.  The  wall,  they  think,  dates 
back  beyond  the  destruction  of  the  Jewi.-^h 
.\jmDioi  .w„..li,  'ile  the  Mosque  they  w(  uld 
attribute  lo  ii  pei  .od  not  earlier  than  the  12th 
oenturv.  The  Jewitth  inhabitMitB  of  Shecheni 
believe  that  thi«  remarkable  building  i-  one  of 
lie  works  of  Po'otvon.  It  is  by  no  rr.eaiis 
iniprul,able  that  it  was  built  by  our  people  tu 
"  r-;,  ill  reuieuibrat  cu  the  burial  place  of  the 
fathers  of  our  nation.  'I'he  architecture  of  the 
Mosque  shows  that  it  is  of  Jewish  origin,  it  be- 
ing similar  to  that  renmining  of  the  temple  of 
Jeiu^ah  m.  and  the  I'lmjjress  Flelcna  probably 
did  liliK  nioie  than  to  repair  and  udorn  nn  id- 
ifi(C  ^lle  found  alruuly  liuilt  aid  whieli  may

tiiihly  is  the  finest  .lewi.-,li  arehileetiiral  anti-

If  there  is  nnccrtiiinly  with  regard  lo  the 
exterior  ofllie  M' !-(|iie,  in  res|  ect  to  the  inte- 
rior it  is  ^tlll  greater.  The  ( 'i  inaders  lost  p  s- 
scHsion  of  Hebron  in  the  I'ith  cditiiry  and

and  the  oilier  (tiuMii  111  Tuiati  an  Italmii.  Miss 
Marlineaii  walked  marly  round  tlic  wall  but

and  the  cistern  where  the  worshippers  wa^h. 
Even  Moslems,  it  is  said,  are  now  very  rarely 
permitted  to  decerid  into  the  rave,  whi!e  Jews 
aud  ('hristiuiis  are  rigorously  e.vcluded,  even 
from  the  Mosque. 

The  Jews  are  permitted  only  to  look  through 
asnmll  oiuning  mar  the  entrance,  and  to  jiray 
with  their  laet  s  towards  the  grave  of  Abraham. 
Anil  it  is  a  sugjji  stive  and  moving  scene  to 
witness  a  number  of  idovis  Jewish  women  with 
their //i^f/inio^/i  (prayer  bcok.)  in  their  hands, 
pouring  out  their  heavy  hearts  over  the  hal- 
lowed reinains  of  Sarah  Ueheccah  and  Leah. 
It  is  a  painful  reflection  that  the  MosVms,  the 
Bons  of  the  handmaid  of  Ilcgar,  should  prohibit 
the  sons  and  daughters  of  the  true  wife  Sarah, 

from  treading  on  ground  so  sacred,  aud  so  dear 


to  them.  Once  Ishmael  and  his  mother  were  ex 
pelled  from  the  house  of  Abraham  at  the  insti- 
gation ofSarah.  There  is  in  this,  perhaps,  an 
dHHitp!*  of  retr4fe«tiw;  jwlkc  hohling  oni  a 
warning  to  future  generations. 

The  current  description  of  the  interior  of  the 
Mosque  and  tomb  is  that  given  by  Ali  Hey, 
the  Spaniard  above  mentioned,  aud  is  iu  sub- 
stance as  follow^  : 

"  The  as^t  to  the  Mosque  is  by  a  large 
and  fine  stair  case,  leading  to  a  long  gallery, 
the  entrance  to  which  is  by  a  small  court. 
Towards  the  left  is  a  portico,  resting  upon 
square  pillars.  The  vestibule  of  the  Ti  niple 
contains  two  rooms;  one  of  which  is  called 
the  Tomb  of  Abraham,  the  other  that  of  Sa 
rah.  Id  the  body  of  tho  Church,  between  two 
large  pillars,  on  the  right,  is  seen  a  large  re- 
cess, in  which  is  the  sepulchre  of  I-aac,  and 
ilia  similar  one,  upon  the  left,  is  that  of  his 
wife.  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  court  is  an- 
other vestibule,  which  has  also  two  rooms, 
nspeetively  called  the  Tombs  of  Jacob  and 
of  his  wife.  At  the  extremity  of  the  porti- 
co, on  the  right  hand,  is  a  door  leading  to  a 
sort  of  long  gallery,  which  still  s-erves  for 
A  Mosque  ;  and,  pas-ing  down  fioni  thence,  is 
observed  another  room,  ta'd  tu  coiiiain  the 
ashes  (d' Jo.-eph.  All  the  sepulchres  of  the 
patriarchs  are  covered  with  rich  carpels  of 
grteii  silk,  magnificently  embroidi  red  with 
gold  ;  tho.se  of  tlmir  wivea  are  red,  embroidered 
in  like  manner.  The  Sultans  of  Coiisluntino- 
ple  furnish  these  carpets,  which  are  renewed 
from  time  to  time.  I  counted  nine,  one  over 
the  other,  upon  the  sepulchre  of  Abraham. 
The  rooms,  al.^o,  which  contain  the  tombs,  are 
covered  with  rich  carpets  :  the  entrance  to 
them  is  guarded  by  iron  gates  and  wooden 
doors,  plattnl  with  siWer,  having  bolts  and 
locks  of  the  same  raelal.  More  than  a  hundred 
IM  r.-^ons  are  employed  in  the  service  of  this  Mo- 
hammedan temple."  V 

Tlie  oldest  and,  probably,  most  reliabfe  an 
ihority  in  these  matters  is  the  Spanish  Ilabbi, 
Iknjamin  Tudela,  who  visited  the  Mosque  in 
the  12th  cenlury,  while  it  was  yet  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  CnisadeW,  and  when  access  to  it 
was  comparatively  easy.  The  sarcophagi,  on 
the  p'alform  of  the  Mosipie,  (then  a  elinrch,) 
might  be  sei  n  ;  the  .same,  iierhaiis,  that  now 
( xist  ;  and  an  additional  fee  procured  even 
a  Jew  iidnii.ssioii  to  the  tomb  below. 

The  following  is  Tudelii's  d.  scri[dion  of  the 
Mosijue  aii<l  Cave,  into  the  latter  of  which  he 
doiibtl.ss  (lose,  iidid,  although  he  does  nol 
ehronicle  the  fact  in  express  words  :

are  the  sixc  monuiu'  nts,  the  ono  right  over 
agaiuBtthe'^'her.iTidVacbof  them  is  engraven 


with  characters  and  distinguished  by  the 
names  of  every  one  of  them,  after  this  man- 
ner :  '  Sepulchrvua  Abraliam  patris  noatri  super 
quern  pax  sit.'  [The  sepulchre  of  our  father 
Abraham,  upon  whdft  be  peace.]  And  so  the 
rest  after  the  same  example.  And  a  lampe 
(nair-tftamid)  perpetually  burncth  iu  the 
cave,  day  and  night ;  the  olTicers  of  the  temple 
continually  ministering  oyle  for  the  main- 
tenance thereof." 

There  is  no  good  reason  for  presuming  as 
many  have  hastily  done,  that  a  great  part  of 
Ali  Bey's  testimony  in  the  premises  should  be 
rejected,  as  incompatible  in  many  respects 
with  the  accounts  hitherto  furnished  by  other 
travellers.  This  inconsistency  is,  we  think,  more 
apparent  than  real.  As  a  special  and  distin- 
guished favor,  Sir  Moses  Moutefiire  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  interior  of  the  Mosque.  He  saw 
nothing,  it  is  true,  of  the  silver  doors  and  silk- 
en carpets  embroidered  with  god  which  figured 
in  the  description  of  Ali  Bey,  although  he  did 
81  c  that  ancient  iron  door  of  which  the  Rabbi 
Benjamin  makes  mention.  This  apparent  dis- 
crepancy, we  will  however  speak  of,  in  another 
place.  On  the  whole,  the  description  furntshed 
by  the  Rev.  Vere  Monro,  of  the  interior  of  the 
Mo.-que  seems  the  most  intelligible  that  has 
hitherto  appeared,  and  to  account  in  a  very 
natural  way,  for  wbai  has  hilhyrlo  «»ppt;i»red 
inexplicable  in  Ali  Bey's  statement,  viz:  that 
the  tombs  were  on  the  fioor  of  the  mosque,  aud 
not  in  the  cave  beneath.  J 

Mr.  Monro's  account  is  as  follows  : 
"The  Mo-que  which  covers  the  cave  of  Mach- 
fielah  and  the  patriarchal   tombs,  is  a  square 
building,  with  little  external  decoration,  at  the 
south  end  of  the  town.     Behind  it  is  a  small  cu- 
pola with  eight  or  ten  windows,beneath  which  is 
the  (alleged)  tomb  of  Esau,  excluded  from  lying 
j  among  the    patriarchs.    Ascending    from  the 
I  street  at  the  corner  of  the    Mosque,  you   pass 
Lthrough  an  arched  way  by  a  flight  of  steps   to 
fa  wide  platform,  at  ibc  end  of  which    is  anoth- 
er short  ascent ;  to  the  left  is  the  court,  out  of 
which,  to  the  left  again  you  enter  the  Mosque. 
The  dimensions  within  are  about  forty  paces 
by  twenty-five.     Immediately  oft  the  right  of 
the  door  is  the  tomb  of  Sarah,  and  beyond    it 
that  of  Abraham,  having  a   passage   between 
them   into   the  court.      Corresponding    with 
these,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  Mosque,  are 
the  tombs  of  I.'Jaac  and   Rebecca  ;  and    behind 
them  is  a  recess  for  prayer  and  a  pulpit.  These 
,  tombs  rc-;emble  small  huts,  with  a  window   on 
each  side,  and  folding  doors  in  front,  the  lower 
parts  of  which  are  of  wood  and    the  upjier  cT 
i  iron,  or  bronze  being  plated.     Within  each   of 
j  these  is  an  imitation  of  the  sarcophagus  which 
'  lies  in  the  cavo,    below  the  Mo.s(iue.  which  no 
one  is  allowed  to  enter.  These  .seen  from  above, 
I  resiiiible  coflins  with    pyramidal    tops,  and  are 
I  covered  with  green  silk,  lettered   with   verses 
from  the  Koran.     The  doors  of  these   tombs 
are  left  continually  open  ;  but   no  one  enters 
I  those  of  the  women— at  least  men  do  not.     In 
the  Mosiiue  is  a  Ixildaiinin,  supported  by  four 
columns,  over  an  octagonal  figure  of  wliite  and 
black  marble,  inlaid  around  a  small  hole  in  the 
pavement,  through  which  a  lamp  {nair-thamid) 
is  let  down  into  the  cave  to  give  light  to  the  cave 
of  Machpelah,  where  are  the  sarcophagi.  A  t  the 
upper  end  of  the  court  is  the  chief  place  of  pray- 
er ;  and  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  Mosque  are 
two  larger  tombs,  where  are  deposited  the  bod- 
ies of  Jacob  and  Leah." 

Dr.  Durbin  bribed  his  dragoman  to  enter 
the  Mosque  and  give  him  some  information 
about  the  interior.  The  dragoman  did  so,  and 
the  Doctor  drew  up  a  plan  of  the  building  un- 
der his  direction.  The  dragoman  persisted  in 
declaring  that  there  were  but  five  tombs  in  the 


Mosque,  and  that  one  of  them  was  the  tomb  o 
Joseph,  ne  made  no  mention  of  the  tomb 
either  of  Rebecca  or  of  Leah,  'i'he  Doctor  ob- 
jected that  Josejili's  tomb  was  not  in  Ilebroa 
but  in  Shechcm  ,  irot  the  Arab  replied  .  "  t 
do  not  know  ;  so  they  told  me  when  I  ask- 
ed whose  tomb  it  was."  It  will  be  seen  that 
the  dragoman's  story  about  Joseph's  tomb 
corroborates  the  statement  of  Ali  Bey.  The 
whole  difficulty  may  be  obviated  by  supposing 
that  Joseph's  remains  have  been  transported 
from  Shechem  to  Hebron ;  and  this  is  propa- 
biy  the  true  solution  of  tne  matter  ;  although 
the  precise  date  of  the  removal  is  not  known. 
The  rest  of  Dr.  Uurbin's  account  is  so  interest- 
ing that  we  publish  it  entire. 

"  The  walls  of  the  inner  building  Said  de- 
scribed to  be  of  granite,  and  without  windows, 
the  light  being  received  from  above  through 
depressed  domes,  supported  by  an  unpainted 
frame-work  of  wood.  1  objected,  and  said  it 
had  once  been  a  church  and  must  have  win- 
dows, to  which  he  replied  :  '  Then  they  must 
have  been  shut  up,  for  there  are  none  there 
now.'  Within  t;.e  Mosipie  were  four  rooms, 
built  up  in  solid  granite  masonry,  very  high, 
but  not  covered  ;  each  having  an  iron  door 
and  iron-grated  window,  through  which  the 
interior  tomb  could  be  seen.  The  four  includ- 
ed tombs  are  simila^beiog  rectangular,  about 
seven  feet  long,  four  wide,  and  six  high,  and 
covered,  down  to  the  richly-carpeted  floor,  with 
rich  green  silks,  on  which  passages  of  the  Ko- 
ran are  embroidered  in  gold.  A  fifh  tomb, 
adorned  as  the  other  four  and  assigned  to 
Abraham,  stands  io  the  middle,  enclosed  Dy 
an  open  iron  arch,  finished  with  a  lofty  cano- 
py, from  which  many  antique  glass  lamps, 
with  Latin  inscriptions  in  gold,  hang  suspend- 
ed over  the  tomb.  I  strongly  objected  to  the 
Latin  inscriptions  on  the  lamps,  and  Said  aa 
strongly  persisted  in  his  accuracy,  saying  he 
knew  they  were  latin,  because  he  had  pur- 
chased two  such  lamps  from  the  old  Cq0c 
church,  in  Cairo,  for  an  English  gentleman."

The  rnesE-NT  Conditio.-*  of  the  Jews. — 
The  Rotshchilds  command  the  market  of  the 
old  world  ;  D'Israeli,  a  Jew  leads  the  House 
of  Commons  ;  a  Jew  is  Lord  Mayor  of  Lon- 
don ;  in  Cermany,  half  a  dozen  of  the  most 
distinguished  Professors  are  Jews.  It  is  doubt- 
ful whether  the  late  war  in  Europe  could  have 
been  carried  on  without  the  aid  of  the  Roths- 
childs. They  loaned  immense  sums  to  botli 
Russia  on  the  one  hand,  and  the  Allies  on  tlic 
other.  They  have  more  recently  offered  to 
furnish  the  Bank  of  France  wiih  thirty  mill- 
ijis  in  gold.  These  sons  of  Israel  hold  the 
puree  strings  of  the  world,  are  the  real  kings 
of  Europe,  and  wield  a  mightier  sceptre  than 
did  David,  iii  the  zeniih  of  his  fame. 

The  Jews  now  number  ten  millions,  and  are 
rapidly  increasing  in  this  country.  Four  thous- 
and years  ago  their  inspired  prophets  predic- 
ted that  they  should  be  scattend  in  all  lands 
yet  not  merged  with  other  nations  :  aud  here 
they  arc  still  distinct  as  the  Culf  St'-eam  in 
the  Atlantic  Ocean,  iudcslructable  as  the 
eternal  hills.  Their  temple  has  been  destroyec 
for  nearly  two  thousand  years  ;  the  sword,  the 
axe,  the  firebrand,  have  been  at  work  upon 
them  during  all  that  period  ;  but  their  con- 
qucrers  and  persecutors  have  passed  away; 
the  nation  that  first  took  them  captive,  have 
no  longer  a  place  upon  the  world;  but  they 
remain  unhurt,  immortal,  imperi-hable.  Their 
altar  aud  their  sacrifice  have  ceased  ;  but  their 
Synagogue  worship  still  remains  the  same. 
Their  history  is  a  standing  proof  of  the  truth 
of  revelation. — Phtladelphia  Ledger.

CIRCULAR 

TO  OUR   FRIENDS  AND  AGENTS. 
Gentlemen  : 

You  will  gather  a  sufflciently  precise  idea 
of  the  charaetcr  and  general    plan  of  the  present 
ahect,  ()y  referring  to  the  prospectus  and  the  ta- 
ble of  contents  embraced   in   this  number.    The 
want  of  such  a  paper  has  long  been  felt  and  acs 
knowledged.     The  success  of   this  will  depend 
largely  upon   the  measure  of  ability  which  we 
can   bring  to  the  performance  of  oar   ta*k,  but 
also,  let  us  add,  in  a  very  great  measure  upon 
your  efforts.  If  the  plan  of  this  sheet  meet  your  ap- 
proTal,  and  if  we  can  rely  with  certainty  upon  your 
kind  wishes  for  its  prosperity  and  your  endeavors 
to  promote  its  circulation,  its   success  is  certain  ; 
it  will  take  rank  at  once  among  the  most  pbpu- 
lar  and  influential  religious  jaurnals  of  this  Slattj. 
We  have  taken  the  liberty  to  transmit  to  you  8ev» 
eral  numbers  of  this  our  first  issue,  and  would 
accompany  them  with  the  earnest  request,   that 
if  circumstances  should  prevent  your   accepting 
the  agency,  which    we  hereby  tender  to  you,  you 
will  confide  the  same  to  some  suitahlo  person  of 
your  acquaintance,  who  will  be  williu'j  to  accept 
it,  and  that  you  will  immediately   advise  us- by 
letter  of  the  selection  you  li.-»ve  thus  made.     We 
shall  allow  our  agents  the  usual  rate  of  2.0  per  cent 
upon  all  moneys  received  by  them   whether  for 
subscriptions  or  adTcriisements.  We  earnestly  8o> 
licit  from  all,  whether  personally  known  to  us  or 
not,  who  are  friendly  to  the  success  of  our  enter- 
prise, the  communication  of  such  interesting  items 
of  intelligence  relative  to  our  people,  as  may  from 
lime  to  time  reach  them.    We  shall  thus,  we  trust, 
be  enabled  to  present  our  readers,  each  week,  with 
a  iumraary  of  news  that  will   prove  peculiarly  ac- 
ceptable, not  only  to  ihe   members  of  our  creed 
resident  in  CalKornia,  but  also   to  our  numerous 
friends  and  relations  in  the  Eastern  States  and  in 
Europe. 

We  remain  Gentlemen, 

Very  respectfully  Yours, 

JULIUS  ECSMAN, 
Editor  or  the  Weekly  Gleakeb. 


PIIOSPECTUS. 

In  sub.nitting  to  the  public  the  first  num 
ber  of  a  Periodical,  it  is  customary  to  say  a 
few  words  relative  to  the  wants,  real  or  fancied, 
which  the  new  publication  is  intended  to  sup- 
ply, aud  to  lay  down  as  it  were  a  chart  of  the 
general  principles  by  which  its  future  course 
is  to  be  guided.    Iu  accordance  with  this  usage, 
wc  proceed  to  state  as  briefly  as  possible  the 
aim  aud    scope  of  the    present    publication, 
simply  premising  that  if  any  apology  be  deemed 
requisite  fur  our  entering  the  already  crowded 
arena  of  jiublic  jounml'sm,  it  may  be  found  in 
the  fact  that,  apart  from  the  propriety  of  hav- 
ing oi»r  principles    properly    represented  by 
a  local  organ  of  our  own,  the  Eastern  Press 
has  hitherto  paid  so  little  attention  to  certain 
branches  of  practical  utility  as  to  render  the 
establishment  of  such  an  organ  almost  a  mat- 
ter of  necessity,    i'roperly  to  supply  this  defi- 
ciency will  be  the  lea«liiig  aim  of  the  present 
sheet. 

The  Meascph,  the  Gleaner,  Guthercr,  Defen- 
fender,  for  the  original  has  all  these  significa- 
tions, is  intend;.d  to  be  a  religious  and  literary 
family  paper,  devoid  to  the  general  advocacy 
of  whatever  shall,  in  the  opiuiou  of  its  Editor, 
behest  calculated  to  promote  our  material  and 
moral  welfare  as  a  people. 


Biblical    and  Jetrish  Anti«MiiiM. 

As  a  repository  of  rare  and  varied  informa- 
tion upon  all  matters  relating  to  Jewish  and 
Biblical  Antiquities,  we  shall  endeavor  to  make 
the  G/eane;  peculiarly  valuable  to  all,  whether 
Jew  or  Gentile,  whoareintel-ested  in  the  study 
of  this  important  branch  of  human  knowledge. 
Kaatcrn    Trareia. 

Full  and  accurate  descriptions  of  the  classic 
localities  of  the  land  of  our  forefathers— local- 
ities that  have  been  hallowed  by  the  pen  of 
inspiration,  and  that  have  witnessed  the  acting 
of  some  of  the  most  important  and  extraordi- 
nary.scenes  in  human  history  will  form  an  im 
portant  feature  of  our  paper. 

lilaalralioaa. 

Both  the  above  mentioned  Departments  will 
be  regularly  illustrated  every   week    with  ap- 
propriate and  tasteful  wood-cuts. 
KducalioB. 
Without    directly    encroaching    upon   the 
province  of  the  teacher,  the  Press   is,  in  this 
country  at  least,  his  best  and  naost  influential 
ally.     The  Gleaner  will  discuss  all   questions 
having  a  direct  bearing  upou  the  education  and 
proper  management  of  our  children,  whether  in 
school  or  at  home:  always  keeping  in  view  the 
important  fact  that  the  training  of  the  moral 
faculties,  now  in  a  measure  neglected^  should 
go  hand  in  hand  with  that  of  the  mental. 

As  the  friend  of  the  family,  the  Gleaner  will 
also  devote  considerable  space  to  articles  ca'- 
culated  to  promote  the  happiness  amf  general 
welfare  of  every  member  of  the  household. 

Juvenile    Department. 

An  important  and  interesting  feature  of  our 
paper  will  be  the  Juvenile  Department — to  the 
pr.  per  management  of  which  we  shall  devote 
much   care  and   thought.     Our  litt'e  readers 
will  take  up  the  Gleaner  eyery  week  with  the 
certainty  of  finding  two  or  three  of  its  col- 
umna    especially    devoted  to  their    interests. 
To  amuse  and  instruct  them  will  be  with  us 
a  matter  of  no  secondary   importance  ;    and 
the  belter  to  attain  this  two-fold  end,  we  shall 
strive  to  convey  our   ideas  to  them  in  the  sim- 
plest and  plainest  language  we  can  employ. 

Domestic  Kcenonif. 

To  the  Department  of  Domestic  Economy 
and  Hygiene,  we  shall  devote  as  much  space  as 
is  consistent  with  our  gen  -ral  plan,  aud  shall 
in  this  connection  publish  regularly  every 
week,  a  number  of  important  rules  and  receipts 
for  the  household. 

C9«neral  IVewa  RcgardinK  onr  People  and 
Inlcrcats. 

Each  number  of  this  sheet  will  contain  suc- 
cinct and  important  summaries  of  foreign  news 
in  relation  to  our  people  and  their  interests, 
and  we  shall  from  time  to  time  lay  before  our 
readers  such  interesting  items  of  news  from 
our  brethren  as  may  reach  us  from  sources  and 
countries  hitherto  little  known  to  the  general 
reader. 

We  shall  endeavor  to  render  the  Gleaner  a 
medium  for  the  free  interchange  of  thought 
from  whatever  source  it  may  emanate— and  its 
columns  will  always  be  open  for  the  temperate 
discussion  of  all  questions  connected    either 


with  our  own  or  with  the  public  well  being. 
FiHaiiy.weBhaTl  spare  no  endeavors  to  render 
this  sheet  a  w  Icome  visitor  at  every  fire-side 
a  credit  to  our  people  and  an  honor  to  our 
State.  We  shall  strive  so  to  blend  the  useful 
with  the  agreeable  in  our  columns,  as  that  no 
one,  whether  Jew  or  Gentile,  can  rise  from  the 
perusal  ot4tS  pages  without  feeling  that  he  has 
been  at  once  amused  and  instructed. 

In  the  momentous  crisis  tnhrogh  which 
our  system  of  theology  is  now  passing,  we  shall 
strive  to  pay  due  deference  to  the  past,  without 
however  ignoring  the  requirements  of  the  pres- 
ent, or  failing  to  provide  for  our  existcuce  in 
the  future. 

We  thus  send  forth  the  Gleaner  upon  what 
we  sincerely  trust  will  prove  a  useful  and  bles- 
sed mission,  aud,  however  little  temporary  pro- 
fit or  advantage  may  accrue  to  us,  we  shall  feel 
amply  rewarded  if  in  the  end  it  shall  bo  found 
to  have  advanced,  however  little,  the  cause  of 
piety  and  the  best  interests  of  munkiLd  upon 
tMrth. 


Evidence  of  th«  Bxtstence  of  God, 

DRAWN    FROM  THE  INHKftK.NCK  OF  THK  KEUGIOUS 

SENTIMKNT    IN  .MAN. 

I. 

The  practical  Scepticism  of  our  age — of  an 
age  whose  belief  is  confined  to  the  mere  objects 
of  sense — is  luflScient  apology  for  entering  in 
our  first  issue,  upon  this  all  important  and  diffi- 
cult theme.  May  the  scanty  seeds,  sown  by  a 
feeble  hand,  fall  on  fertile  soil ;  may  they  take 
deep  root,  and  may  their  growth  be  promoted 
by  plentiful  showers  of  grace  fiom  r;to i-e,  so 
that  they  may  hereafter  bear  fruit  a  hundred 
and  a  thou.'^and  fold. 

And  thus  overwhelmed  by  a  sacred  awe,  we 
approach  our  subject ;  and,  in  holy  reverence 
we  exclaim  :  "  Canst  thou  by  searching  find 
out  the  Almighty  ?  The  heights  of  Heaven  ! 
what  canst  thou  do  ?  The  depths  below  Shcol !  * 
what  canst  thou  know?  fWeak  and  short 
sighted  as  wc  are,  shall  we  be  able  to  fathom 
Infinity?  Shall  the  creature  of  yesterday  find  ' 
out  Ilim  who  inhabits  Eternity?"  Shall  man 
find  out  God  when  he  knows^so  little  of  him- 
self? 

Yet,  despair   not,  O,  Man  !   Despond  not  ye 
sons  of  Adam.   The  Light  of  the  world  has  not 
left  the  Firstborn  of  Creation   tota'ly  to  walk 
in  darkness ;     the  great  Architect  of  the  Uni- 
verse   has    not  failed   to  impress    ineffacible 
marks  of  his  existence  on  the  manifold  works  of 
his  Creation.  The  existence  of  the  Deity  is  pro- 
claimed  by   every   object  around    us :      The 
whole  Creation  bears   the  name  of  '.od  engra- 
ven on  its  surface  ;   the  who'e  Universe  is  a 
stately   temple  of  the  great  King,  in  which  he 
has  placed   truthful    witnesses  of  his  power, 
goodness  and  justice.      From  the  gloriously 
studded  canopy  above,  to  the  pendulous  globe 
beneath,  from  the  Hnwieldly  monsters  of  the 
deep  to  the  tiny  worm  under  our  feet,  all  bow 
in  reverence  before  Him    and   proclaim   His 
existence  in  Glory. 

But  it  is  not  to  these  that  we  wish  to 
appeal  now— it  is  not  their  evidence  that  we  re- 
quire ;  it  is  not  from  without  us  that  we  wish 
to  look  for  witnesses.  We  will  take  our  first 
argument  from  a  principle  inherent ;  in  man 
from  the  indwelling  voice  otthe  Creator  in  the 
human  heart,  from  the  reltgims  sentimmt  in 
man.  The  impression  of  God  is  constitution- 
ally inherent  in  man.    There  exists  in  him  a 


»    Hades,  Oreut.  the  abode  of  the  departed. 
t    Job.,  11:   7«8. 


Reling  of  awe  before  a  Being  whom  he  calls 
UTod— IieTeels  In  Tilmself  a  sense  of  depcBdcnco 
on  some  Existence  without  bounds  ;  he  delights 
to  med  tate  on  H  s  character  ;  he  is  impressed 
with  a  sense  of  Hiaomniprestnce  ;  he  deeires 
to  communicate  with  that  being  in  prayer—to 
prostrate  and  humble  himself  before  Him  ;  to 
implore  His  aid  in  adversity,  and  gratefully 
look  up  to  Him  in  prosperity. 

There  is  still  a  sacred  voice  within  man, 
that  exclaims  ;  There  is  a  God— there  is  an  in- 
finite, everlasting  Ruler  of  the  works  of  crea- 
tion—there  is  a  Iluler  of  our  destinies,  and  a 
Judge  of  our  deeds— and  misdeeds. 

We  do  not  a  priori  arrive  at  it  by  a  process 
of  reasoning  from  without  only  ;  for  were  it  the 
mere  result  of  our  reasoning  powers,  how  could 
the  uncultivated  faculty  of  the  savage  possess 
it  insoemiuentadegree?    but   it  is  a  part  of 
our  constitutional   inherent  perception,  arising 
spontaneously  in    every  uncontaminated  and 
undistorted  mind    with  a  feeling  of  absolute 
certainly,  and  ejudiflg  in  an  irrefragable  con- 
viction of  its  truth.     Wo  come  at   tho  idea  of 
the  existence  of  a  God  spontaneously,  by  ff  law 
of  whose  action  we  at   first  are   unconscious. 
It  comea  unavoidnbiy  from  the  Icgitimalo  »m}- 
tion  of  the  religious  sentiment  within  us.    We 
receive  it  by  intuition  ;    by  a  voice  within  us. 
The  benign  Creator  has  not  allowed  us  to  de- 
pend fur   this  inestimable  treasure  upon   exer- 
nal  eventa,  but  he  has  sat  up  hus  throne  in  our 
very  heart. 

"  For  this  is  not  too  wonderful  above  thee, 
neither  is  it  far  off.  It  is  i.ot  iu  Heaven  ;  that 
thou  shonld'st  say,  Who  will  go  up  for  us  to 
Heaven  aud  bring  it  to  us  ?  Neither  is  H  be- 
yond  the  sea,  that  thou  sbould'st  say,  Who 
shall  go  over  thesea  for  us  and  bring  it  to  us? 
Nay,  it  is  nigh  unto  thee,  in  thy  mouth  and 
in  thy  heart,"    Deut.  30:13. 

And  It  rises  in  us  early  and  continues   with 

us  through  ullages  and  stages  of  our  existence. 

Religion  is  the  first  thing  we  learn,.and  the  last 

to  which  we  cling.    We  are  impressed  by  it  in 

the  lowest  stage  of  our  culture,  and  it  does  not 

desert  us  in  the  highest  state  of  civilization. 

i  his  sentiment  being  the  basis  and  centre  of  all 

morality,  and  the  only  end   or  purpose  of  our 

existence,  the   Creator  has  not  made  us   wait 

for  its  rise  till  we  arrive  at  the  full  devclop- 

mciit  of  our  rational  powers;    nor  even  till 

we  have  reached  a  high  scale  of  mental  jierfec- 

tion.    He  has  not  allowed  it  to  depend  on  the 

learned  disquisition  of  the  philospher  ;  no— it 

reigns  alike  in  the  savage  and  the  sage,  in  tho 

ignorant  aud   the  learned,  in  infancy  and  in 

hoary  age. 

And  being  constitutional,  its  continuance 
is  secured  as  long  as  the  human  race  shall  exist. 
What  in  the  untutored  mind  is  felt,  a  prion 
by  intuition,  is  afterwards  established  by 
sound  Philosophy  which  teaches  us  that  every 
event  and  phenomenon  must  have  an  adequate 
cause.  And  however  mysterious  that'  cause 
may  be — and  however  incredible  it  may  ap- 
pear to  our  limited  capacities,  its  existence 
cannot  be  denied.  It  is  thus  with  the  Religious 
sentiment. 

Wc  carry  this  sacred  witness  within  us  from 
the  cradle  of  our  individual  and  national  exist- 
ence to  the  goal  of  our  earthly  pilgrimage;  it 
is  our  guide  through  life,  our  consolation  in 
death,  and  our  leading-star  beyond  the  grare. 
When  thou  walkest  f  it  will  lead  thee ;  when 
thou  liest  down  X  it  will  be  thy  guardian  ;  and 
on  thy  awakening  §  it  will  be  thy  entertain- 
fiient."  FroT.6:22. 
Nor  is  this  sentiment  confined   to  a  portion 


t    In  tby  walk  tbroogh  life. 
S    On  thy  being  consigned  to  the  final  reitlof 
place  of  all  flMb,  iu  Ibe  rcgiooi  o(  Eitrnty.

THE     WEEKLY     OLEANER 


does  the  religious  ientimeDt  exist  universally 
among  ail  nationo,  racea,  andsgffl,  differing  on- 
ly  in  degree,  arisng  either  from  the  neglect  or 
the  dev<l..pnent  of  the  other  faculties,  with 
which  it  is  nxirc  or  Icaa  counected. 

This  argununt  is  confirmed  by  historical 
facts  gathered  frcm  all  nations.  We  discover. 
Religion  and  Religious  Institutions  wherever 
we  discover  man.  They  appear  alike  in  the  rude 
New  Zealunder,  aod  the  polished  European; 
in  the  grave  Egyptian,  and  the  volatile  Gaul  ; 
in  stationary  Asia,  and  progressive  Europe. 
Herodotus  remarks  that  Si  inan  may  traverse 
various  regions  where  the  mechanical  and 
domestic  arts  are  scarcely  known  ^  where  ne- 
ther hooks  nor  literature— neither  games  nor 
theatres  arc  found  ;  but  nowhere  can  he  set 
his  foot  without  nndinga  God,  or  Gods  ;  with- 
out meeting  with  altars,  shrines  or  temples. 
And  in  fact  the  great  fault  is  not  the  want  of 
religioua  fec^ling,  but  in  the  wrong  direction  of 
it ;  not  in  a  waut  of  belief,  but  in  believmgjw

other  denominations  were  so  frequent  in  Call 
fornia,  "we  rejoico  to  state,  that  those  who  stood 
entirely  aloof  from  these  embarrassments,  were 
the  Israelites  of  California." 

"  And,"  continues  the  editor,  "  search  the 
records  of  our  courts,  examine  the  foliosof  the 
dockets,  and  you  cannot  find  out  a  single 
Jewish  appliratioo  for  divorce. 

Passing  over  many  other     *        *    .    * 
wftihail  confine  ourselves  to  the  following  re- 

rnvks : — 

It  is,  indeed,  no  grateful  task  to  have  to 
correct  almost  every  statement  made  by  a 
newspaper  in  relation  to  our  Lawsand  Tenets  ; 
but  as  an  organ  lor  diflusing  a  knowledge 
of  our  institutions  and  representing  them 
truly,  as  far  as  is  in  our  power,  we  dare  not 
allow  a  wr^^ng  impression  to  be  made  in  rela- 
tion^ ta  so  important  a  question  as  that  of 

divorce. 

Now,  as  one  of  the  reasons  for  the  stated 
non-occurrence  of  divorces  k  Israel,  it  says  in 
that  sheet "  they  (we)  consider  of  far  more  im- 
port than  mere  words,  the  expression  'those 
whom  God  has  united,  let  no  man  put  asun- 
der.'" This  htatement,  again,  is  incorrect. 
We,  the  I'eople  and  the  Teachers  in  Israel, 
do  not  hold  this  quotation  of  more  Jfnport  than 
mere  words.  This  is  not  the  Voice  of  Israel, 
nor  of  our  Laws. 

Thrs'"  words  arc  taken  from  'the  Christian 
Code,  from  the  Gospel  of  Mathew,  Chapt«  r 
XIX,  verse  6  ;  and  from  the  Gosi  el  of  Mark, 
Chapter  X,  vorse  !) :  and,  as  it  is  know  .ii 
we  rectiive  these  books  not  as  oracles,  uor  a 
law,  this  dictum  is  to  Israel  not  of  more  ir 
port  than  mere  words. 

Biit  as  to  our  Law,  that  does  permit  di- 
vorces. The  Bible  allows  it  in  the  fifth  book  of 
Moscp,  (Jhapter  24,  vftrsel  ;  and  the  Rabbis 
have  written  a  whole  treatise,  called  (Jitin, 
[Divorces]  which  is  to  be  found  among  the 
other  books  of  the  Talmud 

And,  indeed,  divorces  do  occasionally  tal^o 
place  among  us,  as  they  do  among  Christians  ; 
for  the  true  V^iice  of  Israel  i?, not  to  corapil  a 
anion  of  body  where  there  is  no  oonpeniali'y 
of  BOul.  We  prefer  dispensing  the  me.ins  of 
separate  siugle  happttiess  to  enforcing  joint 
misery. 

As  to  the  other  reasons  for  the  stated  non 

occurence  of  divorces  among  us  ;  viz.:  "  it  is 

difficult  to  obtain — there  must  be  no  frivolous, 

^efaolting  testimony,  no  a^ts  of  omission,  but 

facts  constituting  evils  which  should  prohibit 


Jewish  Negroes. 
Rev.  H^UMfip,  missionary  inHhe  north 
"oTAfiica  gives  the  following  details  concern- 
ing that  country.  A  Russian  Jew  resident  at 
Meadah,  gave  him  information  concerning  a 
great  number  of  Israelites  inhabiting  the  oases 
of  Sahara,  and  dwelling  also  at  Bathor,  Bis- 
Wrabi,  Taggort,  Bousra,  Beiu,  Uzab,  Loquaz, 
etc.  There  are  in  each  of  these  places  as  many 
as  a  hundred  families,  and  in  some  even  more. 
In  one  place  he  found  six  hundred  families, 
with  numerous  Synagogues,  and  about  a  hun- 
dred copies  of  the  Law,  written  upon  parch- 
ment, some  of  which  were  more  aucient  than 
any  he  had  ev«r  seen. 

But  this  is  not  all  :  other  curious  details 
III  I  im  iHiilllUr  from  another  source.  A 
Je^"w^ohad  accompanied  a  German  travel- 
ler as  far  as  Timbuctoo,  found  near  the  boun- 
dary of  Bambara  a  large  number  of  Jewish  ne- 
groes. Nearly  every  family  among  them  pos- 
sesses, the  Law  of"  Moses,  written  upon  parch- 
ment.  Although  they  speak  of  the  prophets 
they  have  not  their  writings.  Tlieir  prayers 
differ  from  those  of  other  Jews,  and  are  com- 
mitted to  little  leaves  of  parchment,  stiched 
together,  and  containing  numerous  passages 
derived  from  the  Psalms. 

Theee  Jews  have  mingled  some  of  the  super- 
stitions of  "oral  law^bichthey  have  not  com- 
mitted to  writin^pArith  those  of  their  neigh- 
bors, the  Mahommed^ns  and  the  heathen.  They 
enjoy  equal  liberty  with  the  other  subjects  of 
the  African  chiefs,  and  have  their  synagogues 
and  their  rabbis.  The  explanation  which  they 
give  of  themselves,  in  connection  with  their 
black  skin,  is  this— that  after  the  destrjictiori, 
of  Jerusalem,  at  the  time  of  the  first  captiv- 
ity, some  of  their  ancestors,  havmg  neither 
goods  nor  lands,  fled  to  the  dtsert.  The  fa- 
tigue which  they  endured  was  so  great,  that 
nearly  all  the  females  died  by  the  way.  The 
children  of  Ham  received  them  with  kindness, 
and  by  inter-marriage  with  their  daughters, 
who  were  black,  they  communicated  their  color 
to  their  children.  These  children  became,  gen- 
eration by  generation,  of  a  deeper  hue,  until 
no  difference  of  color  now  distinguishes  the 
children  of  Shein  from  tliose  of  ilam.  The 
form  of  their  features,  however,  is  very  differ- 
ent from  that  of  the  negroes  around  them. 

These  are  highly  iuteresiing  facts,  and  ere 
ate  a  stong  desire  that  these  unexplored  regions 
may  be  speedily  opened  to  intercourse  with  the 
civilized  world.  Access  to  these  ancient  man. 
uBcripts,  which  are  probably  older  than  any 
others  now  extant,  would  be  of  great  value  in 
correcting  the  received  Hebrew  text,  or  in 
''irowing  light  upon  doubtful  passages. 


A   JEWISU    RKCHAUITE. 

1      in  connection  with  the  preceding,  it  may  not 
I  be  devoid  of  interest  to  mention   that  there 
I  existed  sbuie  four  years  ago    in  Charleston 
!  S.  ('.,  a  Jewish  Negro,     lie  was  then   about 
seventy  j  ears  olSwc,  and  gained  his  livelihood 
I  by  carrying  ncw.spapers. 
i       We  saw  him  atteuc^ynagogue  on  the  Day 
I  ot   Atoneiiiont  for  some'hours  with  an  exem- 
plary dcvotiott— he  appeared  to  be  deeply  im- 
pressed, and  wrapt  in  thougn 

One  day.  it  was  during  the  gHi^ing  heat  of 
an  inter-tropical  mid-day,  he  was  observed 
walking  the  burning  pavement  ba™oot.  A 
pentlcman  approached  hiui,  and  huraanej^  invi- 
(  a  him  to  call  at  hie  house,  where  he  Would 
8v  <Hy  him  with  shoes  and  apparel.  'ITie^old 
man  gratefully  received  the  offer,  but  in  voy 


polite  language  declined  accepting  it,  stating 
that  the  Jews  of  Charleston  had  on  other  oc-

likewise  had  declined  ;  that  he  never  would 
accept  charitjr  while  he  was  aUe  to  work  ; 
that  he  lived  on  quite  easy  circumstances,  and 
that  his  bumb\e  appeardnce  was  the  mere  re 
suit  of  choice  ^nd  habit.  He  however  ^-^ 
ged  for  some  religious  books  by  means  of  w 
he  might  learn  i^re  of  his  religion,  of  the 
pies  ol  which  be  liad  but  vague  ideas. 

In  relation  to  hjs  origin  he  stated  that  bis 
father  had  told  him  that  be  belonged  to  the 
Bechabitee,  still  ftsfe'  ing  as  a  separate  tribe  in 
Africa ;  that  his.fatWr,  i'n  accordance  with  the 
principles  of  that  j^ortion  of  our  brethren 
as  found  in  the  prophfet  Jeremiah,  Chapter  35, 
had  never  tasted  any  ^ne  or  other  spirituous  li- 
quors in  his  life. 

Of  another  Jewish  nefro  we  read  in  a  late 
number  of  the  Ishielite)  (No.  21,  Vol.  III.) 
The  celebrated  po^t.  Dr.  L.  Frankel,  on  his  re- 
turn from  the  East,  brought,  among  other  curi- 
osities, a  Jewish  negro  boy  from  Senaar  whose 
freedom  he  had  purchased  ia  Constantinople. 

Perhaps  aorde  patriotic  nwnd  may  soon  be 
stirred  up  and'  incited  to  brav^  the  hardships 
and  dangers  ^f  an  exploring  jo^ney  to  the  in- 
terior of  A^'ia  and  Africa  in  o\;deir  to  bring 
us  uteresti^g  accounts  of  the  scattered  flock  of 

Israel.       '  \

"Incidents  of  Travel  Across  the 
Plains,"  by  S.  N.  Carvalho,  Esq.— The  au- 
thor accompanied  Col.  Fremont,  in  the  ca- 
pacity of  artist,  during  his  last  expedition,  in 
1855.  Any  production  ehismating  from  an 
ingenious  mind,  like  that  of  Mr.  S.  N.  C,  can- 
not fail  to  be  highly  interesting.  The  author 
has  received  a  medal  from  the  Society  of  Arts, 
of  Charleston,  S.  C,  for  the  best  landscape 
painting  in  oil,  exhibited  during  the  exhibi- 
tion in  the  year  1853.  Similar  distinction 
he  was  favored  with  at  Baltimore,  Md.  He 
is  a  native  of  Charleston,  S.  C. 

There  is  now  in  press,  as  we  understand,  a 
metrical  version  of  the  Psalms,  by  the  father 
of  the  author. 

The  Israelites  of  S.  Carolina.— In  connec 
tiou  with  the  preceding,  we  beg  to  mention  that 
our  co-religionists,  in  that  State,  from  their 
earliest  settlement,  have  always  distinguished 
themselves  for  superiority  of  mind.  We  are 
glad  to  have  an  opportunity  honorably  to 
mention,  in  our  first  issue,  two  gentlemen,  na- 
tives of  that  State,  the  Hon.  Judge  lleyden- 
feldt  and  the  author  of  the  "  Incidents."  There 
is  now  one  Jewish  Senator  in  Congress,  the 
Hon.  P.  Philips,  of  Alabama,  and  one  Jewish 
member  of  the  Legislature  of  S.C,  the  Hon. 
M.  C.  Mordecai,  both  natives  of  Charleston. 

Notice  to  our  Readers.— Circumstances 
prevented  us  from  introducing  into  the  first 
number,  a  specimen  of  every  department  that 
we  wish  to  lay  before  the  public.  We  beg  the 
indulgent  readft  not  to  judge,  till  after  the 
issue  of  the  third  number.

Nothing  is  eaiieK,  or  less  to  be  tolerated  than

Temp.,  X:  II- 

The  Dutlea  of  Woman ; 

comprised  in  the  three  symbols  of 
NIDDAH,  HALLAH,  AND  HADLAKAH. 
"For  three  transgressions  women  die  in  child- 
birth :  for  the  neglect  of  Niddafi,  Hallah  and  Had- 
lakath  nannaire."-Mishnah  Shabboth,  Cap.  II. 
Here  we  find  a  strange  combination  of  du- 
ties, for  the  neglect  of  which  women  are  to 
forfeit  their  lives  ;  and  that  just  at  the  mo- 
ment when  they  are  to  enter  a  sphei  e  of  da- 
ties  for  which  Providence  has  especially  ap- 
pointed them  ;  at  a  period  when  the  fostering 
care  of  the  mother  is  almost  indispensable  to 
her  offspring,  and  when  her  decea.se  might 
easily  involve  that  of  the  little  innocent  to 
whom  she  has  just  given  birth.  Women  are 
W4«ett^ftdditio3aLdang£r,iiay.to  atone  with 
their  lives  for  the  neglect  of  three  ceremonial 
observances,  the  vital  importance  of  two  of 
which  can  certainly  not  be  admitted. 

Need  we  then  wonder  that  out  of  the  four 
characters  of  the  Hagadah  for  the  Passover 
Eve,  the  Tliam  asks  Mazzotk  "  what  means 
this?"— that  the  charitable  man,  without 
asking,  looks  with  an  eye  of  pity  either  at  the 
Bex  or  on  the  Rabbis,  and  that  the  Scoffer, 
casting  a  heap  of  abuse  on  men  whose  univer- 
sally acknowledged  piety  ought  to  have  afford- 
ed them  a  sufficient  shield  against  the  coarse 
insults  of  inflated  profaneness  and  presuming 
ignorance— that  the  Scoffer  exultiiigly  ex- 
claims that  he  could  not  but  'smile.'  Are  thy 
Ancients,  0  Israel,  long  to  be  insulted  in  such 
a  manner  ?  are  thy  pious  teachers,  thy  Cori- 
phei  of  the  Synagogue,  are  thy  martyrs  to  be 
trampled  on  by  such  a  profaue  foot  ?  Are  we 
to  brook  this  any  longer  ?  Is  the  Voice  of  Is- 
rael longer  to  be  silent  ? 

Had  we  but  Israel  in  view,  wo  might  have 
passed  over  these  repeated  insults  ;  we  know 
the  "  hmncbaycsh  vckamithba  yesh,"  "  the  In- 
sulted and  the  lusultcr"— but  is  the  Press 
with  her  thousand  tongues  to  blazon  forth  that 
Israel's  teachers  were  nothing  but  blind,  ignor- 
ant, superstitious  men  ?  Wc  claim  no  inspira- 
tion for  our  Rabbis,  no  infallibility  for  their 
decisions.  We  are  not  blind  to  the  fact  that 
their  writings  bear  the  impress  of  their  age . 
but  their  piety,  their  self-denial,  their  purity 
of  intentiou,  tlieir  honesty  of  purpose,  will  al- 
ways render  them  the  admiration  of  every 
pious  mind.  Our  worthies  were  at  least  honest, 
true,  and  faithful  men.  Their  knowledge  and 
wisdom  were  courted  by  Jew  and  Gentile,  by 
peasant  and  potentate,  by  kings  and  emperors, 
(as  we  shall  show  in  future,  please  God.  We 
therefore  bow  in  veneration  to  the  purity  of 
their  hearts,  and  cover  the  veil  of  charity  over 
the  errors  of  their  judgments. 

But  these  errors  are  liot  always  on  their 
side ;  sometimes,  nay,  often,  the  fault  is  not 
with  the  ancients,  but  with  ua,  the  moderns. 

We  live  too  far  distant  from  their  age  and 
country,  to  be  able,  always,  to  judge  them  cor- 
rectly. We  arc  not  familiar  with  their  mode 
of  thinking  or  ways  of  teaching,  one  of  which 
was  by  signs  :  they  tried  to  convey  the  knowl- 
edge of  invisible  objects  and  abstract  truths 
by  outward  signs,  by  symbols. 

This  was  the  method  of  Moses  and  the  Pro- 
phets in  Israel,  and  the  sagf  s  and  philosophers

of  our  race,  or  our  globe  only  :  it  is  the  uni- 
versal feeling  of  mankind.  As  every  other  hu- 
man affection  in  man  extends,  in  a  more  or  less 

same  in  all  races,  ages  and  countries  —  so 
of  all  nations,  as  also  of  our  Rabbis,- as  we 
will  now  show  in  the  case  before  us. 

The  Mishnah,  desirous  of  giving  to  woman 
a  summary  of  her  duties,  desirous  of  eleva- 
ting her  soul,  and  continually  directing  her 
thoughts  to  the  highest  motlel  of  purity,  devo- 
tion, and  hcavenly-mindedness,  places  before 
her  eye  a  symbol  in  a  triangle,  calling  each 
angle  of  this  jewel,  which  is  to  be  worn  by 
the  virtuous  woman  on  her  heart,  by  the  name 
of  an  object  with  which  every  woman  must 
have  been  quite  familiar,  and  of  which  she 
would  be  reminded  every  day,  week,  and 
month.  The  names  taken  from  three  objects 
of  sense,  were  to  bring  before  her  mind  three 
states  of  her  soul,  which  we  will  now  explain, 
and  thus  afford  a  key  to  many  similar  passages, 
and  show  that  Israel  has  not  been  "  the  blind 
who  are  led  by  the  blind."  And  so  we 
begin : — 

Nashim  me-tiioth.— We  read  "  Naskim  me- 
thoth"  "women  die,"  forfeit  their  lives, incur 
moral  death,*  totally  fail  in  their  high 
destination— 

B»  sKaaih,  lid*  than,  "  In  the  very  time  they 
give  birth,"  viz.  when  they  bring  forth,  pro- 
duce, labor,  and  arc  ever  so  thrifty  and  indus- 
trious ;  t  meaning  that  all  thc-ir  activity,  in- 
dustry, accomplishments  fail,  end  in  death— 

Al  sh  enan  Zaheemth.  for  their  not  being 
cautious  of,  for  not  being  warned,  for  not  being 
purifitd  and  rendered  illustrious^  by  the  ob- 
servance of  Niddah,  Halla,  and  JImilakath 
Hannare. 

1.  NiuDAH.— Parity,  spiritual  purity  is  here 
symbolically  represented  by  Ntddali,  physical 
purification.  Our  Rabbis  say,  woman  sinks, 
falls,  perishes,  in  spite  of  her  industry,  accom- 
plishments and  productions,  if  she  neglect  the 
most  precious  ornament  of  her  sex — purity. 

2.  Hallah. — Oblation,  separating  a  portion 
of  the  crude  dough  as  an  heave-offering.  See 
Numbers  15-17—21.  In  addition  to  Purity, 
woman  shall  introduce  in  her  domestic  affairs, 
the  virtues  of  Beneficence,  of  Charity.  A  por- 
tion of  the  food  is  to  be  devoted  to  charitable 
purposes,  to  be  given  to  the  service  of  God 
even  betbre  the  family  partakes  of  it ;  by  such 
acts  of  charity,  woman  is  to  sublimate,  to 
transform  to  transfer  her  domestic  physical 
occupations  into  a  spiritual  sphere.  By  sepa- 
rating a  portion  of  her  daily  bread  for  the 
service  of  God,  she  transforms  the  physical 
food  into  a  holy  offering,  her  table  into  an 
altar,  her  house  into  a  sanctuary,  and  herself 
into  a  priestess  of  that  sanctuary. 

Observe,  dear  reader,  that  from  the  etymol- 
ogy of  this  term  and  the  others,  wi-ich  are  all 
used  so  significantly,  the  correctLesj  of  the 
interpretation  will  be  quite  clear  to  every 
candid  mind. 

The  terms  used  are  haprashath  halla,  mean- 
ing the  removal,  the  separating  of  Hallah,  a 
noun  derived  from  lialal,  to  profane  ;  hence  the 
noun  hallah  stands  either  for  lial-lah,  (as  the 
dagesh  indicates,)  meaning  profanation.    Or, 


Hallah  stands  for  Hel-ah,  (dropping  the  Aleph 
and  supplying  it  by  the  Dagesh,) — impurity, 
scum,   refuse.     The    internal,    etymological

being  cautious,  etc.,  in  the  removal  of  impu- 
rity from  her  household,  from  her  physical 
food  and  enjoyments ;  conveying  here  the  idea 
of  purifying  the  household,  under  the  symbol 
of  Hallah,  as  in  the  case  of  tree9,|under  that 
of  Orlah,     (See  Levitcus,  19-23.)  ' 

3.  Hadlaath  Hannare,  the  kindling  of  "  the 
Light."  It  is  an  ancient  custom  in  Israel  for 
the  housewife  to  usher  in  the  Sabbath  and 
Holy  days  by  kindling  lights  in  her  domicile, 
and  to  sanctify  this  act  by  prooeuncing  an  ap- 
propriate blessing  over  them.  And  to  under- 
stand what  this  act  means>  requires  but  little 
penetration.  Woman  is  to  kindle  "  the  Light" 
—hannare — "  in thehonse.'||  Oh!  ye  daugh- 
ters of  Israel,  see  to  what  a  pinnacle  of  emi- 
nence our  sages  wish  to  elevate  you ;  behold, 
what  a  noble  task  they  allot  to  yon;  You  are 
to  kindle  a  light,  to  be  a  light  in  the  house  of 
Jacob,  in  the  dwellings  of  Israel.  The  wo- 
men of  Israel  are  called  to  bring  Light 

[Hadlakath  Hannare) — even  before  the  men 
are  called  to  pronounce  the  Kiddmk  to  bring 
sanctification.  Now  compare  and  choose. 
The  world  offers  you  frivolous,  transient  plea- 
sures, themselves  fleeting,  but  their  sting  per- 
manent— Eternal.  The  world  calls  you  from 
yonr  home  to  vanities,  frivolities,  to  gaudi- 
ness  and  giddiness,  to  pleasures  of  the  night 
that  will  not  b^ar  the  reflection  of  the  day, 
while  the  venerable  sages  of  our  People  offer 
you  the  unstained  robes  of  Purity,  invite  you 
to  be  the  messengers  of  Charity,  and  conse- 
crate you  to  kindle  the  light  of  Sanctity. 
They  hold  the  threefold  crown  before  you  in  a 
motto  of  three  words.  True,  they  warn,  but 
it  is  in  order  to  encourage. 

Thus  we  see  that  purification,  oblation  and 
sanctification  fill  the  sphere  of  duties  of  woman. 
The  neglect  of  them  brings  death.  This  sphere 
is  assigned  to  you  by  the  Teachers  in  Israel, 
communicated,  in  their  wonted  manner,  by 
Symbols.  Can  the  Bible  or  the  Gospel,  the 
Koran  or  the  Edda,  Society  or  Philosophy, 
assign  to  you  a  higher  sphere  ? 

How  long.  Oh,  my  people,  wilt  thou  allow 
thyself  to  be  insulted  ?  How  long  wilt  thou 
allow  thy  champions,  thy  saints,  thy  martyrs, 
to  be  traduced  and  insulted  by  a  scoffing 
voice  that  never  ought  to  have  been  allowed  to 
be  heard  in  Israel.

*  Every  tyro  in  Theology  among  Jews  and 
Christians  must  know  that  "  to  die"  in  the  Bible, 
is  used  in  the  physical  as  well  ai  in  the  moral 
aenie. 

t  The  Hebrew  ya-.ad,  to  bring  forth,  has  all 
these  signiQcationi.  Sco  Job.,  38:  8,  9.  Is.,  55: 
10,  59:  4;  but  particularly  Maimonides  on  this 
root,  in  his  Morah.    Part  I :  Chap.  7. 

\  Zehiroth,  from  Zohar,  to  warn,  to  be  can» 
tious,  to  clear,  to  render  bright,  illustrioui;  hence 
the  word  Zohar,  a  celebrated  ancient  Cabalistic 
book;  meaning  light  or  illumination. 


Rev.  Dr  Cohen. 
The  Rev.  Dr.  E.  Cohen,  of  Albany,  preach- 
ed a  sermon  at  the  Emanuel  Temple,  the  Sab- 
bath following  the  demise  of  their  pastor,  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Mertbacher.  He  deeply  interested 
his  auditors  by  his  affecting  address  on  that 
occasion. 


Happy  Valley  is  the  site  selected  by  Dr. 
Bushnell  for  the  location  of  the  State  Univer- 
sity. It  ia  estimated  that  the  lowest  cost  of 
the  necessary  buildings  will  be  about  three 
hundred  thousand  dollars. 


The  amount  of  money  still  due  to  California 
from  the  General  Government  on  the  civil 
fundis  $2,706,512. 


It  is  always  safe  to  learn  even  from  our  ene- 
mies— seldom  safe  to  venture  to  instruct  our 
friends. 


II  When  it  is  known  that  the  custom  requires 
woman  to  kindle  "lights,"  it  must  strike  the 
reader  that  the  text  says,  "  Women  die  too  for 
the  neglect  of  kindling  the  light,"  (Hannare.) 
Can  there  be  the  least  doubt,  but  that  the  definite 
article,  and  the  singular,  point  to  "~the  light."  of 
which  it  is  said,  "  The  soul  of  man  is  a  Divine 
light." 


Simple  words  are  these,  yet  full  of  meaning. 
Words  that  are  found  in  tLe  language  of  every 
nation,  but  more  especially  in  the  language  of 
every  heart.     There  are  none  so  depraved, 
none  so  lost  to  human  feeling,  that  tlay  hear 
unmoved   the  mention;of  amothcr'sname.   The 
first  kind  glange  that  falls   upon  our  infancy, 
beams  tcQin  a  mother's  eye,   the  first  sweet 
smile  tht  moves  the  fountain  of  joy  in  the   in- 
fant soul  comes  from  a  mother  s  face,  and   thJ 
first  gentle  accents  that  soothe  our  pains  an* 
calm  our  fears,  fall  from  a  mother's  lips.     And 
,a8  we  pass  from  infancy  to  childhood,  th-.;  name 
of  mother  is  the  first  that  trembles   in  lisping 
accents  on  the  tongue-     In  all  the  joys  that 
strew  with  flowers   the  pathway  of  our  early 
years,  it  is  the  mother's  hand  that  makes  us 
glad,  and  the  mother's  heart  that  rejoices  in  our 
happiness.     In  all  our  sorrows  it  is  to  her  that 
we  turn  for  consolation,  and  we  are  sure  to  find 
it.    Her  loving  hand  wipes  the  tears  ftom  the 
eye,  and  her  voice  of  kindness  drives  sorrow  from 
the  troubled  breast,  and  bids  us  look  upon  the 
bright  world  around  us  and  be  happy.  Disease 
may  seize  upon  the  frame,  and  the  sunken  eye 
and  pallid  cheek  proclaim  its  inroads,  but  the 
mother,  as  a  ministering  angel,  hovers  round 
the  couch  of  pain  through  days  of  suffering,  un- 
wearied and  untired, 
"  Watching  the  stars  out  by  the  bed  of  pain, 
With  a  pale  cheek  and  yet  a  brow  inspired." 
Her  voice  stills  the  angry  passions  that  ruffle 
the  calm  surface  of  the  soul,  and  speaks  peace 
to  its  troubled  waters.    Her  counsels  guide  us 
in  the  way  of  truth'  and  her  teachings  sow  the 
seeds  of  virtue  in  the  soil  of  the  youhful  heart. 
If  the  voice  of  conscience  has  been  unheedtd, 
and  we  have  turned  astray  from  the  path  of  du- 
ty, how  subduing  are  the  mild  words  of  reproof 
that  fall  from  a  mother's  lips,  and  warn  us  of 
the  dangerous  p;ith  in  which  we  have  wandered  1 
When  we  have  chosen  the  right  way  and  disre- 
garded the  allurements    that  would  draw  us 
away, whose  approving  smile  and  words  of  praise 
do  we  value  like  a  mother's  ? 

As  we  advance  in  years,  and  the  fountains  of 
knowledi^e  are  unlocked  that  we  may  drink  Of 
Iheir  flowing  streams,  it  is  the  mother's  heart 
that  delights  in  each  new  acquisition,and  watch- 
es with  eagerncps  the  unfolding  of  intellect. 
Temptations  thicken  around  us,and  vice  spreads 
forth  her  snares  to  entrap  the  unwary,  but  a 
mother's  voic^  of  warning  sounds  in  our  ears; 
and  for  her  sake  we  turn  from  the  tempter's  call 
and  break  the  net  that  would  prove  our  des- 
truction. And  when  the  hand  of  death  has /al- 
ien upon  that  beloved  mother,  how  deep  is  the 
grief,  how  dark  the  gloom  that  falls  upon  our 
stricken  hearts  !  Desolation  spreads  over  the 
household  where  the  light  of  a  mother's  love  is 
quenched,  and  we  seek  in  vain  for  ene  to  fill 
her  place.  How  the  sweet  recollections  ol  her 
love  and  her  kindness  come  over  the  spirit  then; 
and  if  we  have  ever  spoken  an  ungentle  word, 
or  cherished  a  harsh  thought  of  her,  these 
remembrances  fill  our  souls  with  bitterness  and 
haunt  us  like  tormenting  spirits.  How  often, 
when  sorrow  has  blighted,  and  sin  hardened  the 
heart,  does  the  thought  of  a  mother  arrest  the 
wanderer  in  the  road  of  guilt,  and  carry  him 
back  to  the  days  of  innocence,  when  he  listened 
to  his  mother's  voice  ;  when  her  smile  of  love 
cheered  him,  and  her  words  of  wisdom  checked 
the  follies  of  his  youth.  The  strong  heart  is 
melted,  and  he  resolves  to  turn  from  his  career 
of  crime  into  the  path  pf  virtue.  How  often 
has  the  remembrance  of  days  of  childhood  come 
over  the  niind  amid  temptation's  wiles-the  time 
when  he  knelt  at  a  mother'  s  koee,  and  her  lips 


taught  him  the  words  of  prayer,  and  then  he 
has  burst  the  fatal  spell  that  bound  him  I 

Who  can  estimate  a  mother's  inflaence  ? — 
who  can  TelT  IT  mother 'r  value  ?  — who^  can 
fathom  the  depths  of  a  mother's  love  ?  None 
can  know  n  mother's  worth  till  they  have  seen 
her  laid  in  the  toipb,  and  felt  that  she  was  tak- 
en from  their  sight  forever.  And  while  I  write, 
my  thoughts  wander  to  the  hallowed  sod  under 
which,  in  a  distant  land,  slumbers  the  form  of 
my  own  loved  mother:  I  was  but  a  child,  yet 
it  seems  but  yesterday  that  I  saw  her  laid  in 
that  resting-place.  She  had  been  an  invalid  for 
years,  and  we  had  been  taught  to  expect  her 
death  at  any  moment ;  yet  when  they  told  me 
she  must  die  I  was  all  unprepared  to  part  with 
her.  I  stood  by  her  dying  bed,  and  received 
her  last  words  of  counsel,  and  her  last  kiss  of 
love  ;  and  when  all  was  over,  and  I  felt  that  she 
was  indeed  gone,  such  a  sense  of  desolation 
came  over  me  that  I  wished  in  the  bitterness  of 
my  heart  that  I  too  might  die. 

A'ears  have  passed,  yet  her  memory  remains 
linked  with  the  records  of  my  happy  childhootl, 
and  I  think  of  her.not  as  lying  in  the  cold  grave 
but  as  a  happy  and  glorified  spirit  in  heaven, 
striking  a  golden  harp,  and  tuning  that  voice,, 
so  sweet  on  earth,  iu  sweeter  strains  above 
Tlwugb  X  tBdttm  that  »b«  n  not  here  to  guide 
my  wayward  steps,  yet  I  would  not  call  her 
back  to  a  worl  of  suffering  and  sorrow,  and  I 
bless  God  that  her  example  is  before  me,  and 
that  he  gave  me  such  a  mother. 


Social  Progress.— Our  political  progress 
has  been  great.  Our  social  progress  has 
not  kept  pace.  An  appeal  is  wanting  to  the 
moral  sentiment  of  the  community,  in  order 
that  society  may  become  that  beautiftil  thing 
which  it  was  intended  ;  the  delicate  texture  of 
courteous,  refined  intercourse.  Between  this 
and  the  low,  vulgar  intercourse,  \rtiere  passion 
rules,  there  is  every  degree  of  variation. 
Silks  and  jewels,  wit  and  beauty,  gayety  and 
urbanity,  are  not  enough  to  form  the  texture, 
and  lay  the  velvet  softness  upon  it  and  tint  it 
with  the  richest  hue  of  all  that  is  delightful  In 
the  highest  society.  The  best  charm  comes 
from  intelligence,  wit,  beauty  and  moral  deli- 
cacy combined  ;  and  where  the  last  is  wanting 
there  is  only  gaudiness,  not  soft  lustre. 

Such  we  fear  is,  too  much,  our  fashionable 
society  here.  Unfit  characters  are  admitted. 
Not  those  indeed  who  are  below  caste  in  Eoci- 
ety,  but  who  ought  to  ho.  And  even  those 
who  are  unsuspected— not  candidates  for  a  di- 
vorce and  convenient  change  of  social  rela- 
tions—appear to  have  lost  that  delicacy  which 
shows  Itself  in  the  dress  not  less  than  on  the 
stainless  cheek.  This  comes  from  evil  contact, 
and  results  in  social  degradation. 

If  there  is  anything  beautiful  in  society  un- 
tainted with  that  grossness,  which  borders 
close  on  indelicacy,  let  us  have  it  here.  .Ma- 
ny of  the  most  refined  are  driven  from  social 
life  by  reason  of  this  very  laxnes.s  of  senti- 
ment. The  very  original  idea  of  society 
is,  that  those  included  in  it,  enter  on  equal 
terms  :  furnishing  each  his  share  of  the  intelli- 
gence, wit  and  moral  worth,  which  give  value 
to  the  circle.  The  old  Romans  used  the  word 
in  one  form  to  denote  equal  allies,  as  distin- 
guished from  others. — Pacific.

THB  VOICB  OF  OOD> 

Aad  the  Lonl  came,  anil  itood  and  called  M  at   other 
timas    "Samuel,    Samuel."      Theu    Samuel    an«w»r«d, 
"  Speak  ,   for  thy  nervant  heareth,"— I  Samuil  hi.  10. 
."Speak,  Lord!"  the  yoathful  prophet   humblr 
cried ; 
"  Thy  serTsnt  heart !" 
And  iastant,  hark !  the  Voice  Divine  repliei, 

In  will  declares,— 
No  other  ear  in  all  that  temple'*  round 
Becoiveg  the  deep,  impressive,  solemn  sound; 
The  sacred  tribe,  the  aged  priest  passed  by, 
God  stands  revealed  to  youthful  piety. 

He  comes  no  more  to  rouie  the  outward  ear 

At  dead  of  night; 
No  fearful  dream  bis  purppsed  act  makes  clear, 

To  mortal  sight:— 
But  wheresoe'er  roan  seeks  to  meet  him,  still 
A  voice  is  near  him  whispering  of  his  will, 
And  ever  as  he  calls  on  God  to  "  speak," 
That  inward  voice  will  nature's  silence  break. 

Yes,  Pilgrim,  He  whose  voice  then  spoke  on  earth, 

Still  speaks  to  thee; 
Whether  in  sweetest  music  warbling  forth 

From  every  tree, 
Or  in  the  stillness  of  the  evening  hour, 


Or  when  the  tempest  gathers  all  its  power, 

Or  when  the  sea  its  awful  voice  uprears. 

Be  thine  to  answer,  "  Speak,  thy  servant  hears." 

In  all  thy  varying  portion  in  the  strife 

'Twixt  earth  and  heaven. 
Or  nhen  sweet  gleamings  of  a  better  life 

To  thee  are  given. 
When  hard  the  conflict,  dim  the  distant  end, 
No  light  to  cheer  thee,  at  thy  side  no  friend. 
Yet  hark !  e'en  now,  in  answer  to  thy  prayer, 
The  voice,  the  voice  of  Love  Divine  Is  there! 

Or  when  the  page  of  truth,  before  thee  spreads 

Its  chastened  light. 
And  some  reviving  promise  round  thee  shcda 

Hopes  clear  and  bright, 
There  -peaks  the  Gospel  Author:  to  that  word, 
Favored  disciple  of  a  pitying  Lord, 
Bend,  meekly  bend,  a  still  attentive  ear: 
'Tis  his  to  speak;  vlth  reverence  thine  to  hear. 
Thankful  for  this,  thy  destined  path  pursue; 

Or  dark,  or  bright; 
Till  faith,  while  glory  bursU  upon  the  vievr, 

Is  lost  in  sight: 
Till  then,  with  ever-wakeful  care  abide 
By  the  least  whispers  of  thy  heavenly  Guide; 
For  still  when  followed  most,  that  Voice  shall  be 
Strength,  comfort,  peace,  and  blessedness  to  thee.

Firat  Hebrew  Benevolent  Society. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  First  Hebrew  Benev- 
olent Soeiety,  held  last  Sunday  in  ,the  base- 
ment of  the  Synagogue  Enunanuel,  Mr.  M.  B. 
Aahim  was  unanimously  elected  President  for 
the  ensuing  year.  We  congratulate  tho  So- 
ciety upon  the  choice  they  have  thus  made  of 
an  efiBcient  officer  and  worthy  man.  Miss  Pro- 
vost lately  tendered  to  the  First  Hebrew  Ben- 
evolent Society,  a  complimentary  benefit,  and 
it  took  place  last  night  at  the  Metropolitan 
Theatre.  The  Hebrews  never  suffer  their 
^litute  brethren  to  become  a  burden  to  the 
COTumuuity  in  which  they  reside,  and  their 
benevolent  societies  are  consequently  heavily 
taxed  for  their  relief.  The  benefit  by  Miss 
Provost  will  enable  them  to  coutinae  their  use- 
fulness,  now  about  to  receive  a  check  by  reason 
of  their  reduced  finances.  For  this  act  of  gen- 
erosity the  Association  express  their  grateful 
acknowledgments,  as  the  offeriug  comes  at  a 
most  seasonable  time. — Herald. 


The  Legislature  has  elected  David  C.  Brod-

Rare  Example  of  Oeneroalty. 
The  fjublet  presented  by  the 


of  Bern,  to  the  Hebrew  Congregation  of  that 
city,  recalls  to  onr  mind  a  noble  trait  of  char- 
acter of  Monsieur  Cremieux.  We  write  from 
memory,  and  beg  indulgence  if  we  are  not  quite 
correct  in  the  particulars. 

A  rich  landholder  in  some  small  municipali- 
ty of  France  presented  to  the  parish  church  a 
beautiful  gold  chalice  which,  on  account  of  its 
value,  and  in  honor  of  the  donor,  was  always 
taken  back  to  the  gentlemans  hou^o  after  be- 
ing used.  The  generous  man  die.l,  and  left  a 
son  whose  virtues  fell  far  short  of  his  father  ; 
he  even^^otefused  the  use  of  the  gob'et  to  the 
church,  claiming  it  as  the  private  property  of 
the  family,  and  was  not  willing  to  lend  it  for 
sacred  use.  ( » rie ved  at  sui  h  a  breach  of  trust, 
the  country  church  wardens  repaired  to  Paris 
and  applied  for  legal  advice  to  the  celebrated 
Adolph  Cremieux,  so  famous  for  his  legal  abil- 
ity, his  oratorial  powers  and  his  noble  efforts 
in  behalf  of  our  people  during  the  persecutions 
of  Damascus,  when  he  himself  repaired  to  the 
East,  with  Sir  Moses  Montefiore  to  plead  our 
cause. 

It  C  thonght  the,  law  could  noLfiO 
easily  afford  redress  to  the  applicants,  and  ad- 
vised them — they  being  but  poor —  to  desist 
from  a  vexatious  law  suit  with  a  man  whose 
want  of  feeling  and  obstinacy  was  so  mani- 
fest. 

The  humble  peasants  replied,  that  it  was  not 
the  value  of  the  object,  but  the  indignity  offer- 
ed to  their  Sanctuary,  that  they  considered  ; 
but  OS  there  was  no  remedy,  they  had  to  return 
grieved  and  humiliated,  to  their  village.  Pro- 
fanity seemed  for  the  time,  f>s  it  often  doesi 
to  triumph  over  Piety. 

But  this  triumph  was  indeed  short.  The 
noble  hearted  Jewish  Lawyer,  fully  apprecia- 
ting and  entering  into  these  feelings  of  Chris- 
tian piety,  a  short  time  afierwards  surprised 
the  villagers  by  the  present  of  a  splendid  golden 
Chalice  as  much  like  that  of  which  the  church 
had  been  deprived  as  possible,  accompanied  by 
an  appropriate  note  and  inscription  ;  thus  giv- 
ing an  example  of  the  tribute  due  to  sacred 
feelings  { implanted  in  the  human  soul  by  a 
kind  Deity, )  wheresoever  they  are  to  be 
met  with.  Such  actions  deserve  to  be  held  up 
to  view  for  imitation,  and  such  men  will  surely 
receive  the  blessing  of  Heaven,  as  it  is  said  : 

"  The  benevolent  heart  shall  be  blessed." 

Prov.  22:9.

We  deeply  lament  to  have  to  chronicle  the 
demise  of  Mr.  Daniel  Kink,  a  gentleman  high-

commend  tht  unremitting  attention  paid  him, 
night  arid  di\\ ,  by  Lis  wife  and  friends,  during 
the  whule  time  of  his  .sufferings.  His  funeral 
was  uunierouHiy  attciided  by  his  friends  and 
acquaintances,  on  Sunday,  the  2Htli  of  Dec. 
last.  He  was  a  good  citizen,  an  aiTvctionate

parents,  in  JCurupe,  inerits  particular  :  otice.

We  are  glad  to  see  the  narrow-minded 
sectarian  spirit  of  former  ages  yielding  to  more 
enlarge^  and  enlightened  views  as  has  been 
manifesied  in  the  action  taken  by  some 
of  our  State  Legislatures.  Our  age  seetm,  at 
last,  to  realize  the  text  of  Gen.  1 :27— where 
it  does  not  read,  that  God  created  the  Jew, 
Christian,  or  Mohammedan,  but  7nan  in  His 
image  ;  intimating  that  the  Image  of  God  is 
inherent  in  man,  not  in  his  creedi. 

Thus  we  "Ind  our  Tjcgislature  mflide  choice 
of  a  Roman  Catholic  priest— of  the  Rev.  Fa- 
ther Gallagher,  and  on  a  former  occasion,  even 
of  a  Mormon  fof  their  Chaplain.  But  are  such 
feelings  peculiar  merely  to  our  new  State?  No, 
other  State*  and  those  no  less  than  Old  Vir- 
ginia and  New  York  went  even  further— their 
Legislatures  appointed  a  Jewish  ^Rabbi  their 
Chaplain.  The  Editor  of  this  Journal  per- 
formed that  function  twice  to  the  Legislature 
of  Virginia  and  the  Rev.  Dr.  Wise,  Rabbi  of 
Cincinnati,  formerly  of  Albany  N.  Y.,  re- 
peatedly to  the  Legiskture  of  New  York.— 
And  in  Charleston  S.  C,  the  former  actually 
performed  public  worship  in  the  Orphan 
Church  in  conjunction  with  the  Presbyterian 
minister,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Cox.  The  Rabbi  im- 
plored the  Divine  blessing  upon  the  poor 
orphans,  and  upon  their  benefactors.  And  if 
his  prayer  was  the  effusion  of  a  true  heart,  it 
will  surely  have  proved  acceptable  to  the  Lord  ; 
for  the  "  the  Lord  is  nigh  unto  all  who  call 
on  Him,  flnto  all  who  call  on  him  in  truth."— 
Psalm  144: 18. 

But  neither  th  e  Church  nor  the  Legisla 
tares  were  unchristianized  by  these  acts  of  lib- 
erality. They  would  have  become  so,  they 
would  have  turned  unchristian  if  a  spirit  had 
actuated  them  similar  to  that  manifested 
by  the  obstinate  Lords  and  the  hanghty 
Dignitaries  of  the  Church  of  the  meek  Jesus 
in  Old  England.  May  she  profit  by  our  ex- 
ample, and  by  the  warning  that  „  Haughti- 
ness precedes  a  fall." 


Resolutions  on  the  Death  of  Mr.  Fink. 

At  a  Meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  held 
on  Sunday,  Dec.  28th,  1856,  on  motion  of  Mr. 
BluraentKal,  the  following  Preamble  and  Res- 
olutions were  adopted : — 

Wlureas,  It  has  been  the  will  of  God  to 
summon  before  His  High  Tribunal  another 
of  the  Members  of  the  Congregation  "  Sher- 
ith  Israel  :"  and  whereas,  said  summons  was 
directed  to  our  late  dearly  beloved  member,  Mr. 
Daniel  Fink, a  man  possessing  in  the  highest 
degree  all  those  social  and  religious  virtues 
which  ennoble  men,  and  which  made  him  uni- 
versally respected  by  all  who  knew  him,  there- 
fore— 

Resolved,  That  this  Congregation  has  lost, 
in  him,  a  true  and  devoted  member,  whose 
memory  will  not  be  forgotten.and  whose  de- 
mise has  filled  our  hearts  with  grief  and 
sorrow. 

Resolved,  That  we  deeply  sympathize  with 
his  widow,  who,  with  exemplary  devotion, 
attended  to  the  wants  of  the  deceased  during 
his  long  and  painful  sufferings. 

Resolved,  That  out  of  respect  to  the  memory 
of  deceased,  the  Board  docs  adjourn  without 
transacting  any  further  business,  and  that  we 
attend  the  funeral  in  a  body,  and  perform  the 
funeral  rites  of  the  Jewish  faith. 

Resolved,  Thai  the  foregoing  Resolutions  be 
entered  on  our  Minutes,  and  the  same  be  pub- 
lished in  the  Measeph,  and  Tke  Voice  of  Lriiel.

Destbuctios  or  a  Svnaoooue. — The  Jewish 
Synagogue  at  Mobile,  Ala.,  was  eulirely  de- 
stoyed  by  fire  on  the  11th  ultimo.  The  build- 
ing was  a  wooden  frame  one,  with  a  briek  base- 
ment.   The  loss  is  not  stated.

Croup. 

Of  all  the  diseases  to  which  children  are  li- 
able, Ckoup  is  certainly  the  meet  dangerous. 
Many  instances  of  it  have  lately  occurred  in 
our  own  State.  Every  mother  should  tho- 
roughly understand  the  symptoms  and  treat" 
ment  of  this  disease,  as  it  is  easily  checked,  if 
attended  to  in  time  ;  whereas  if  unchecked,  ita 
results  may  be  fatal. 

Symptoms.— The  approach  of  the  disease 
is  announced  by  a  difficulty  in  breathing,  a 
short  dry  cough,  and  a  rattling  in  the  throat 

when  asleep. 

In  a  short  time,  the  difficulty  of  breathing 
increases,  the /ace  of  the  child  becomes  flushed, 
and  the  veins  in  the  neck  very  full  of  blood, 
throbbing  at  the  same  time  very  rapidly.  The 
voice  and  the  cough  acquire  a  strange  sharp 
sound,  something  like  the  crowing  of  a  young 
cock.  The  child  becomes  very  restless  and 
uneasy,  and  the  body  hot,  with  great  thirst, 
and  a  quick  pulse.  The  face  becomes  much 
flushed,  the  sufferer  seems  overpowered  by 
sleep,  from  which  it  is  roused  only  by  a  violent 
fit  of  coughing.  As  the  disease  progpjsses, 
the  fits  of  coughing  return  mtw*  ff«tjufetot.Iy, 
and  is  attended  with  an  uncommon  degree  of 
agitation  and  tremor  throughout  the  whole 
frame  ;  the  breathing  becomes  more  and  more 
noisy;  and  unless  relief  is  speedily  obtained, 
the  child  will  die  by  suffocation. 

Bembdy. — The  moment  the  complaint  is 
discovered,  put  six  grains  of  tartar  emetic  into 
six  tablespoon fuls  of  warm  water,  and  give 
the  child  about  half  a  tablespoonful  every  ten 
or  fifteen  minutes,  so  as  to  keep  up  a  constant 
sickness  or  vomiting. 

If  the  case  be  a  violent  one,  the  patient 
may  with  advantage  be  placed  in  a  warm  bath 
up  to  its  neck.  Seneca  snake  root  has  proved 
a  valuable  remedy,  and  should  ba  used  (fre- 
qently)  made  into  a  strong  tea. 

The  following  simple  remedy  is  highly  recom- 
mended by  Dr.  John"  D.  Goodman,  of  Char- 
lottesville, Va.  The  simplicity  of  the  remedy, 
and  the  facility  of  its  application,  entitle  it  to 
a  trial : — 

"  Whenever  children  are  threatened  with  an 
attack  of  croup,  I  direct,"  says  the  doctor, 
"  a  plaster  covered  with  dry  Scotch  snuff,  va- 
rying in  size  according  to  the  oge  of  the  pa- 
tient, to  be  applied  directly  across  the  top  of 
the  cbtst,  and  retained  there  until  i.ll  the  symp- 
toms disappear.  The  remedy  is  found  to  be 
always  effectual  when  applied'  in  the  first 
and  second  stages  of  the  ma'aJy." 

Parents,  however,  should  not  delay  to  call 
in  medical  advic«  without  loss  of  time ;  for, 
although  we  throw  out  the  foregoing  hints,  yet 
the  responsibility  of  a  child's  life  is  of  too 
heavy  a  character,  to  be  nssumed  by  any  who 
are  unacquainted  with  the  healing  art ;  and,  we 
in  sorrow  say  it,  many  have  been  snatched  sud- 
denly away,  that  could  have  been  faved  to 
bless  their  parents,  had  due  precaution  been 
exercised,  by  calling  in  aid  and  having  proper 
medical  treatment. 


Colds. — A  daily  exposure  to  the  outward 
air  is  absolutely  necessary  to  pecure  us  against 
the  injurious  influence  of  our  variable  climate. 
For  cure  of  catarrh,  reduce  the  amount  of  food, 
take  exercise,  keep  the  bowels  open,  and  bathe 
the  ftet  in  warm  water  at  bed-time. 

For  a  Trouble.somb  Cough. — Take  of  trea- 
cle and  the  best  white  wine  vinegar  six  table- 
spoonfuls  each  ;  add  forty  drops  of  laudanum  ; 
mix  it  well,  and  put  it  into  a  bottle.  A  tea- 
spoonful  to  be  taken  occasionally  when  the 
cough  is  troublesome

adduced  a  number  of  arguments  to  show  that 
the  founder  of  the  Chinese  Empire  was  no  oth- 
er than  the  Patriarch  Noah. 

Sweden. — Religious  liberty  is  now  granted 
to  all  citizens  and  the  punishment  of  exile 
suspended  entirely. 

The  Council  of  the  University  College  has 
awarded  the  first  scholarship  (£100,)  to  Mr.

Paris. — The  Census  taken  in  Paris  shows 
the  following  numbers  of  the  different  religi- 
ous denominations  :— 125,I€9  Catholics — 6,- 
370  Reformed— 6,966  Lutherans  and  10,740 
Jews.  'ITiere  are  more  Jews  than  either  Lu- 
therans or  Reformed.  They  have  two  Syn- 
agogues DOW  and  are  about  adding  two  more. 
Bavaria.— Soldiers  of  the  Jewish  faith  are 
now  in  this  country,  as  in  Holland  exempted 
from  military  service  on  Sabbath  and  Holy- 
days. 

Dr.  James  Rotz  is  sent  by  the  King  to  ex- 
plore the  old  countries  east  of  Palestine. 

Mkktz. — The  consecration  of  the  Synagogue 
of  the  Orthodox  parly  waa  pcrCarwwd  lately 
with  the  due  ceremonies.  The  Vice  Governor 
General  Steinger,  the  Mayor,  and  the  Super- 
intendent of  the  Protestant  Church,  as  also 
Rabbi  Stein,  D.  D.  of  Frankfort,  attended. 

HArasriM. — The  Prince  of  the  Netherlands 
and  the  Dukjp  of  Weimar  visited  the  Synagogue 
of  Mauheim.  They  remained  during  the  whole 
service,  and  on  leaving  each  of  them  threw 
rich  gifts  into  the  alms  box. 

FBANKKORT.—The  building  of  a  Synagogue

Prussia— GREiFFENBERo.-At  the  Consecra- 
tion of  the  new  Synagogue  a  large  number 
of  Christians  attended.  This  displeased  the 
fanatic  Archdeacon,  who,  in  a  sermon  preached 
the  Sunday  following,  broke  out  in  the  bitter- 
est invectives  against  the  Jews.  The  latter 
brought  a  suit  against  him  ;  he  was  fined  fifty 
thalers  and  sentenced  to  four  weeks  imprison- 
ment. 

Breslau.— We  extract  tho  following  from 
the  London  Hebrew  Observer  and  the  Jewish 
Chronicle : 

"  The  great  Synagogue  in  Breslau,  is  that 
of  the  learned  Dr.  Geiger.  In  a  late  sermon 
on  Gen.  43:8,  "  Joseph  knew  his  brethren,  but 
they  knew  him  not,"  the  learned  Divine  made 
▼ery  appropriate  remarks  on  the  difficulty 
which  good  and  honest  men  have  to  contend 
with,  because  the  multitude  do  not  know 
their  real  character,  or  how  to  appreciate  their 
motives. 

"  The  Hazan  (Reiadcr)  of  that  Synagogue 
has  repeatedly  been  offered  an  engagement  at 
the  Theatre,  on  account  of  his  splendid  voice. 
Bnt  he  refused  the  offer,  thinking  it  improper 
for  a  man  who  sings  praises  to  t5od  in  his  tera- 
plef  to  appear  on  the  stage.  During  Divine 
service  the  strictest  eyder  and  decorum,  so 
much  missed  in  some  places,  is  observed  in  the 
Synagogue  at  Breslaa." 

"  Dr.  Frankell,  President  of  the  Rabbinical 
Seminary  of  that  city,  formerly  chief  Rabbi 


of  Dresden,  a  man  of  eminent  learning  and  pi- 
ety, is  the  honorable  representative  of   the 
orthodox  party.     He  does  not  allow   his  stu- 
dentg  to  attend  the  Synagogue  of  Dr  Dpigor 
nor  to  be  connected  with  the  reform  party." f 
LissA.— "  We  regret  to  hear  that  the  Jew- 
ish population  amounting  to  about  4,000  souls, 
are  in  no  enviable  position.   Numbers  have  re- 
jected the  old  usages  with  their  concomitant 
piety,  without  being  able  to  substitute  any 
thing  satisfactory  in  their  place."— i&. 

Austria. — The  oath  more  judaico  is  now 
abolished  in  all  the  Slavonian  provinces. — 
Thus  the  obsolete  and  medieval  ceremonies 
in  administering  the  oath  to  Jewish  subjects 
are  abrogated. 

By  another  imj>erial  order,  Jews  afe  inter- 
dicted from  dealing  in  crosses,  cruQiiSics  or

Late  Atlantic  and  Toreign  It^ms. 

The  last  foreign  papers  bring  us  the  pews  of 
the  death  of  Dr.  Pusey,  the  celebrated  English 
Theologian.  He  first  became  consyicuqus  by 
the  publication  of  the  Oxford  Tra'^ts,  gome 
twenty  j'ears  ago,  and  was  theorigina'Of  o|[tbe

was  Regius  Professor  of  Hebrew  at  Oxford, 
and  canoa  of  Christ  Church  at  the  time  of  his 
death. 

It  is  reported,  that  England  has  at  length 
agreed  with  the  oth  er  powers  to  assemble  the 
Conference  of  Paris,  and  it  is  said  that  the 
Congress  will  meet  in  that  city  at  an  early 
day. 

The  Prussian  Minister  has  received  orders 
to  suspend  all  communications  with  the  Swiss 
gorernment,  and  to  quit  Berne. 

Much  anxiety  is  now  felt  throughout  the 
Southern  States,  on  account  of  rumored  in- 
surrections among  the  slaves. 

The  latest  advices  from  Mexico  are  impor- 
tant. Viudurri  the  leader  of  the  rebellion  "had 
given  in  his  adhesion  to  President  Comonfort, 
and  Alvarez  had  likewise  declared  in  his  favor. 
The  city  of  Puebla  had  also  succumbed  to  the 
government  troops,  and  it  was  thought  tbat 
perfect  tranquility  would  soon  be  established 
throughout  the  country. 

Mr.  Collins  has  petitioned  Congress  for  the 
discontinuance  of  his  line  of  steamers,  and  the

we  learn  that  the  product  of  their  mill  for  the 
year  1856,  was  $63,666  16  ;  current  expenses 
for  running  the  same  827,122  91;  improve- 
ments 85,655  ;  paid  divielends  829  250 ;  bal- 
ance in  the  treasury,  81,638  25.  The  mill  was 
run  259  days  during  the  year,  at  a  clear  profit 
to  the  stodyjolders,  after  paying  all  expenses, 
of  8119'2&each  day  it  was  in  operation. 

The  number  of  ships  which  entered  this  port 
from  New  York  in  1853,  was  189 ;  in  1854, 
81 ;  in  1855,  78  ;  in  1856,  79  ;  total  427.  On 
these  3010  certificates  of  partial  loss  Were  is- 
sued amounting  in  all  to  81,262,956. 

The  expenses  of  the  public  schools  of  San 
Francisco  for  the  six  months,  ending  July  1st, 
1857,  will  amount  to  834,394  ;— and  the  reve- 
nue for  the  same  period  to  830,868  15.    It  is 
stated  that  the  revenue  of  the  Common  Schools 
—35  cents  on  the  8100— would,  if  paid  in  by 
the  tax-payers,  amount  to  8106,288  89  ;  but 
of  this  sum  only  859,142  51  has  been  collected, 
leaving  a  balance  duo  the  Department  from 
tax  payers  of  847,146  38.     If  the  taxes  were 
punctually  paid,  the  annual  revenue  of  the  De- 
partment would  be  something  over  8106,000, 
besides  the  State  fund.    As  it  is,  the  balance 
of  money  in  mjj^treasury  amounts  to  only  82,- 
868  65.    The  property  in  Pan  Francisco  coun- 
ty on  which  this  tax  is  levied,  amounts  to  over 
thirty  millions  of  dollars. 

The  amount  of  cash  in  the  State  Treasury 
on  the  Ist.  instant,  was  8212,404  27.    At  that

84,343,531  58.     The    excess   of  expenditures 
over  receipts  since  the  organization  of  the

Two  shocks  of  an  earthquake  were  experi- 
enced in  this  city  last  Sunday  morning,  be- 
tween the  hours  of  six  and  eight,  and  were  ge- 
nerally felt  throughout  the  State— especially  in  ■ 
the  southern  portion  of  it.  Much  consterna- 
tion was  produced  for  a  while,  though  little 
damage  was  done. 

The  cost  of  lighting  the  city  of  San  Fran- 
cisco for  the  year  1855,  was  8222,620  86.  The 
quantity  of  gas  consumed  in  1856,  was  32,- 
623,690  cubic  feet.  The  main  and  service 
pipes  if  placed  in  a  line,  would  extend  eighteen 
ini'es.  The  salaries  of  the  officers  and  employees 
of  the  Company  amounted  for  the  past  year,  to 
842,4.30  15.  The  Gas  VVorks  can  produce 
about  25,000  cubic  feet  per  day.  The  unpaid 
gas  bill  of  the  city  amounts  to  898,772  98.

*Tbo  blessing  pronounced  in  the  Synagogue  by 
the  minister  or  at  the  house  by  the  master,  over  a 
"P  of  wine  on  the  eve  ot  Sabbaths  and  Holidays. 


t  This  prohibition  is  by  no  means  on  acceunt 
of  the  changes  which  hare  taken  place  in  the  aer. 
vice  of  the  great  Synagogue.;  since  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Frankcl  himself,  for  a  number  of  years,  was  Kab- 
bi  of  the  Temple  in  Dresden,  where  organ,  choir, 
and  prayers  in  the  vernacular  were  introduced, 
and  which  served,  to  a  considerable  extent,  as  a 
model  to  the  Temple  Emanuel  in  Xew  York.  It 
is  other  differences  of  opinion  between  the  two 
Theologians  of  Breslau,  which  Dr.  F.  wishes  to 
keep  the  pupils  of  tho  Seminary  from  imbibing, 
that  called  forth  this  interdiction.         Editob. 


Uses  op  Hot  Water.— The  efficacy  bf  hot 
water,  on  many  occasions  in  life,  cannot  be  too 
generally  known.  It  is  an  excellent  gargle  for 
a  bad  sore  throat,  or  quinsy.  In  bruises,  hot 
water,  by  imiuersioo  and  fomentation,  will  re- 
move pain,  and  prevent  discoloration  and  stiflF- 
ness.  It  has  the  same  eifect  after  a  blow.  It 
should  be  applied  as  quickly  as  possible,  and 
as  hot  as  can  be  borne.  Insertion  in  hot  wa- 
ter will  also  cure  that  troublesome  and  very 
painful  ailment,  the  whitlow. 

An  Eioellent  Pen-Wiper  fob  Steil 
Pens.— Fill  a  short,  wide-mouthed  vial  with 
shot,  the  smaller  the  better.  Whenever  it  is 
necessary  to  clean  the  pen,  rub  it  up  and  down 
in  the  shot.  This  is  much  more  effectual  than 
cloth  wipers,  and  the  shot  will  last  a  life- 
time, 

To  Prkvent  Inconveniencb  from  Perspi- 
ration OF  THE  Hands.— Ladies  who  work 
lace  or  embroidery  sometimes  suffer  inconven- 
ience from  the  perspiration  of  their  hands ; 
which  may  be  remedied  by  rubbing  their  hands 
frequently  with  a  little  dry  whea*  bran. 

To  Preserve  Steel  Prns. — Metallic  pens 
may  be  preserved  from  rusting  by  throwing  in- 
to the  bottle  containing  the  \ik  a  few  nails,  or 
broken  pieces  of  steel  pen?,  if  not  varnished. 
The  corrosive  action  of  the  acid  which  the 
ink  contains  is  expended  on  the  iron,  so  intro- 
duced, and  will  not  therefore  affect  the  pen.

Andmftke  me  lord  to4o  thy  will. 


'  To  my  Little  Readers. 
This  ia  the  first  time  that  I  sit  down  to 
write  to  von.  A'  good  number  of  you  know  me 
well ;  bWw  good  number  do  not.    But  before 
long.'you^lUll  fled  that  I  am  your  frl«nd, 
aud  that  I  love  you  dearly.    Now  there  are 
many  people  who  write  papers  and  books  for 
grown  up  folks,  but  very  few  write  for  chil- 
dren.   1  love  to  write  lor  you  aud  to  teach  you; 
ttud  Iknow  5od  wants  us  to  do  so.    It  is  for 
these  reasons,  and  for  others  which  I  shall  tell 
you  soon,  that  in  every  paper  which  I  shall    i 
wrrte  for  your  father,  mother  and  friends,  I  | 
shall  not  forget  to  write  for  you. 

Now,  my  dear  child,  I  am  going  to  tell  you 

more  why  I  want  so  much  to  write  for  you,  »nd 

what  I  shall,  if  God'letme  live,  write  to  you 

about 

I  love  to  see  children  look  hearty,  and  be 
k^Ppy-  And  I  often  thaok  God  that  Ho  is  so 
kind  aa  to  give  you  parenU,  friends,  and  so 
many  things  which  may  make  you  good  aud 
happy,  if  you  know  how  to  use  them.  But  the 
nicest  things  cannot  please  you  much  whenyou 
are  not  well;  when  yott  do  not  feel  easy;  when 
you  are  in  trouble;  when  you  are  not  good. 
Now  I  will  try  to  tell  yon  how  good  children 
may  take  care  not  to  get  sick  ;  bow  they  must 
mind  not  to  get  hurt  when  they  are  at  play  in 
the  streets,  or  anywheie— so  that  you  may  not' 
get  into  trouble  yourselves  or  cause  pain 
to  your  father,  who  thinks  so  much  of  you,  or 
to  your  mother  who  so  dearly  lovea  you. 

Now  vou  know  many  boya  and  girls  who  have 
plenty  of  good  things,  and  are  quite  well,  yet' 
are  not  happy  and  often  get  into  trouble.  It 
is  because  they  do  not  mind  what  people  who 
know  better  tell  them.  Yes,  many  children, 
when  they  begin  to  know  a  little  about  things. 


think  that  they  are  wiser  than  fatlier,  raoflier 
Md  all  other  people  besides.  And  thus  tliojr 
olteD~get  Tot 6  diTficutry7ln*ff  disgrace.  N^iw 
I  will  tell  you  how  good  children  should  do  to 
be  imred  by  good  people,  and  how  they  may 
live    very  happily   at  home,  at  school,  a«d,. 

abrood.  "^ 

I  shall  tell  you  a  good  deal  about  good  men, 
women,  boys  and  lovely  girls  that  will  quite 
please  you  ;  and  when  I  tell  you  how  good  they 
were,  you,  aa  I  think  you  a  good  and  sensible 
child,  will  learn  from  them  how  to.  be  good, 
how  tobe  kind  yourself.  Bometinii  s  but  not  too 
often,  I  shall  tell  you  how  some  men  and,  wo- 
men have  done  wrong,  and  how  some  boys  and 
girls  have  been  naughty,  aud  in  what  trouble 
they  got  themselves  and  others.  So  from  these 
you  will  be  able  to  learn  how  bad  it  is  not  to 
be  good,  and  not  to  mind  aud  lOve  your^p*- 
rents,  teachers  and  friends. 

1  shall  have  to  tell  you  very  nice  things  abon  t 
what  God  has  made,  as  the  Sun,  the  Moou,  the 
Stars,  the  Sea,  the  Trees  and  the  Fruit  tl.u. 
grow  on  them.  I  shall  tell  you  about  animal."-- 
as  lambs,  goats,  camels,  elephants,  and  a  j^rcat 
many  others— how  wonderful  God  has  nia<l< 
them,  and  how  kind  He  is  to  them. 

But  what  I  most  want  to  tell  you  is  about 
a  good  God,  who  has  made  all  things  that  you 
can  see  and  a  great  many  more  that  you  cannot 
see.  It  is  He  who  lets  you  have  so  many  good 
things  ;  it  is  He  who  causes  your  father,  your 
mother  tfnd  many  others  to  love  you  and  care 
for  you. 

I  shall  tell  you  what  a  good  child  has  to  do 
to  be  loved  by  the  good  God,  who  loves  people 
only  when  they  are  good,  and  lets  wicked  people 
get  into  trouble  and  be  unhappy. 

BesidAs  these  things,  I  shall  tell  you  much 
about  your  soul  ;  for  it  is  the  soul  that 
makes  your  body  live,  and  move.  Oh  I  trein- 
ble  when  I  think  how  .some  people  ruin  their 
poor  souls '.  Now,  if  God  spares  me,  1  shall  let 
you  know  how  you  must  live  to  grow  up  and  be  1 
a  good  man  or  wonuin  and  to  become  a 
lovely  bright  angel  when  God  shall  be  pleased 
to  take  you  to  Heaven. 

All  these  things  aud  many  more  I  shall  have 
to  tell  you  of.  I  hope  you  will  mind  what  I 
write  to  you.  I  shall  try  very  hard  to  write 
pretty  things  to  please  you,  and  good  things  to 
make  you  good  ;  so  that  your  dear  mother's 
heart  may  be  delighted  in  her  child,  of  whom 
she  has  taken  so  much  care,and  your  father 
pleased  if  you  grow  up  to  be  good.  And,  if 
you  turn  out  to  be  good,  God  will  help  you, 
aud  make  you  very  happy. 

I  shall  also  try  to  write  to  you  in  plain 
words  :  I  shall  not  use  hard  words  at  all,  except 
where  I  must  ;  aud  then,  you  will  do  well  to 
ask  your  papa  or  mama,  or  any  friend  to  tell 
you  what  the  hard  words  mean.  I  hope  you 
will  always  ask  for  the  meaning  when  you  read 
what  you  do  not  understand. 

But  I  must  tell  you,  there  are  some  things 
so  hard  withal,  that  only  yery  few  grown  peo- 
ple can  understand  tlnMu-of  su'i'   1  shall  not 
1  write  to  you.    But  1   may  have  tO  write  of 
jwmo  thiugs  that  even  your  -..apa  could  notex- 
I  plain.    You  may  iheu  beg  hnn  to  write  to  me, 
I  and,  if  I  .Tan,  I  shall  let  you  know  what  they 
I  mean,  aud  .ypu  will  find  all  abou',  it  in  this 
i  pai>er. 

Now  my  pearly  beloved  ouilUrjn,  I  have 
to'.d  you  what  1  would  write  for  you;  I  have 
also  told  you  why  I  write ;  it  is  because  I 
deariy  love  yoi;  because  I  love  your  souls, 
which  God  has  'fent  to  tills  world  to  learn 
aud  to  do  many  things  before  they  go  to  Hea- 
ven. And  1  lioyjc  that  should  you  live  to 
glow  up.  aud  miiid  what  1  intiud  to  teach 
y<.U,  you  will  be  happy  and  gooti,  long  after 
my  own  body  will  have  l>een  lui'l  in  the  grave; 


and  my  booI,  which  by  the  grace  td  God,  will 
then,  I  hope,  be  happy  in  Heaven,  will  be 
delighted  to  look  down  apon  yon,  and  pray  fcr 

you. 

As  I  have  taken  up  so  much  space  in  the 
above  lettfiC.Biyde«r.little  readt-r,  I  will  close, 
and  have  but  to.  add  that  1  would  wi^h  you  to

Only  One  Brick  above  Another,  or  Per- 
severe. 

Edwin  was  looking  at  a  large  building 
which  they  were  putting  up  just  opposite  Of 
his  father's  house.  He  watched  the  workmen 
from  day  to  day,  ao  they  carried  up  the  bricks 
and  mortar,  and  then  placed  them  in  their 
proper  way. 

His  father  said  to  him,  "  My  fon,  you  seem 
to  be  very  much  taken  with  the  brick-layers — 
pray,  what  might  you  be  thinking  about? 
Have  you  any  notion  of  learning  the  trade  ?" 

"  No,  sir,"  said  Edwin, smiling  ;  "  but  1  was 
just  thinking  how  little  a  thing  a  brick  is,  and 
yet  that  great  house  is  built  by  only  laying  one 
brick  on  another." 

"  Very  true,  my  £on.  Never  forget  it.  All 
your  learning  is  only  a  little  lesson  added  to 
anotSier.  If  a  man  could  walk  all  around  the 
globe,  it  would  be  by  putting  one  foot  be- 
fore the  other.  Your  whole  life  will  be  made 
up  of  one  little  moment  after  another.  Drop 
added  to  drop  makes  the  ocean. 

"  Learn  from  this  not  to  despise  little  things. 
Learn  also  not  to  be  discouraged  by  great 
labor ;  the  greatest  labor  becomes  easy,  it 
divided  into  parts.  You  could  not  jump  over 
a  mountoin;  but  step  after  step  takes  you  to 
the  other  side.  Do  not  fear,  therefore,  to 
attempt  great  thiogs.  Always  remember  that 
the  whole  of  yonder  lofty  edifice  is  only  one 
brick  upon  another." 

To  Remove  Stains  from  Silks.— Stains 
produced  by  vinegar,  lemon  juice,  oil  of  vitriol, 
or  other  sharp  corrosives,  may  be  often  remov- 
ed from  silks  by  mixing  a  little  ptarlash  with 
soap-lather  ami  passing  the  silk  through  it. 
Spirits  of  hartohorn  will  also  often  restore 
color. 


Advantaobs  or  Bittono: — It  is  a  faefe  of- 
ficially recorded,  that  during  the  terrible  t»h- 
tatioe  Jif  Obdera  in  Franed;  >put  of  nearly 
16,228  subflcribers  to  the  pu€\te'bathfl  of  Paris,

among  them  were  ascribed  toCholera.We  doubt 
whether  there  exists  a  more  eflPectuai  preven- 
tive of  disease  of  evtry  kind,  anda  greater 
promoter  of  good  health  at  all  times,  than  the 
practice  of  daily  bathing.        

Fob  a  eou)  in  xiifc  Hbad.— What  isc«l\?d 
ahead-bath  is  useful.  Fill  a  wash-hand  basin 
with  boiling  water,  and  an  ounce  of  tlower  of 
mustard  ;  then  hold  the  bead,  covered  with  a 
cloth  to  prevent  the  escape  of  steam,  over  tke 
basin  as  long  as  any  steam  arises. 

The  Governor  of  Culifornia  recommends  in 
his  annual  message  that  a  tax  be  levied  on  the 
salaries  of  all  officers,  State,  County  and  Mu- 
nicipal. 


Go  to  God  as  a  sinner,  if  you  question  your 
right  to  go  in  any  other  character:  he  always 
receiveth  sinners.

In  the  account  furnished    by  Dr.   Uurbin's 
dragomin,  it  la  worthy  of  notj  that  if  Said's  tes- 
timony  with    regard   to  the   number  of  the 
tombs  is  at  variance  with   that  furnished   by 
AU  Bey,  it  corroborates  it  in  the  matter  of  the 
rich  carpets  of  green  silk  with  which  both  af- 
firm that  the  tombs  of  the  patriarchs  were  cov- 
ered when  they  saw  tliem.     H  iw,  then,  it  may 
be  asked,  docs  it  happen  that  Sir  Moses   Mon- 
tefiore  saw  nothing  of  a!l  this?      The  answer, 
perhaps,  may  be  found  iu  the  fact  that  Sir 
Moses  was  alloweJ  to  enter  the  Mosque  as  a 
special  favor,  and  that  consequentlftiWp  visit 
must  have  been  known  and  anticipatra.     No- 
thing seems  to  ba  more  certain  than  that  the 
Turks  desire  to  keep  the  world  at  large  in  ig- 
norance about  the  urrungements  and   general 
adoinmeuts  of  the  M  jsque.     They  probably 
judged  that  Sir  Mose^  would   publish  un  ac- 
count o;  kvhat  he  was  about  to  see.      Could 
anythi.jg,  thon,  have  becu  easier  for  them  than

Mosque,  us  to  convey   an   impression  to  his 
miud,  wholly  diffcr.ontfrom  that  produci'd  upon 
previous  travellers  ?     Now,  on  the  contrary,  it 
must  be  remembered  that  Ali  Bey  introduced 
himself  into  the  .Mosque,  by  a  species  of  fraud, 
io  passing  himself  off  as  a  Moslem,  aid  that 
consequently  he  must  have  seen  the  interior  in 
iti  normal,  ordinary  stat-X      Again,  us  to  the

Tudela    ajreo.      Their    testimony    on    this 
point  must  be  decisive,  and   we  can  only  come 
to  the  conclusion  that  either  Dr.  Durbin  did 
not  properly  understand  his  dragoman,  or  that 
the  latter  was  glad  enough  to  pocket  the  Doc- 
tor's money,  aud  at  the  same  time  convt  y  to 
him  an  erroneous  impression  with  regard  to  the 
interior  arrangement? of  the  Mosque,      There 
seems, to  be  as  little  doubt   that  AH  Bey's  sto- 
ry as  to  the  location  of  the  tombs  on  the  main 
floor  of  the  Mosque,  has  reference  not  to   the 
real  tombs,  which  are  in  the  cave  beneath,  and 
which  he  was  not  permitted  to  visit,  but  merely 
to  the  sarcophagi  or  simulacra  of  these  tombs 
which  are,  or  perhaps,  were,  placed  as  he  has 
described  thum.    It  seems  that  the  Turks  raised 
these  sarcophagi    at  a  comparatively  recent 
period   and  passed   them   ofl"  as   the  original 
tombs ;    partly,   perhaps    to    put    the  curi- 
osity  of  the  unfaithful  at   fault,  and  partly  to 
•are  themselves  the  trouble  of  descending  so 


often  into  the  cave,  to  show   to  their  brother 
Moslems  the  real  resting-place  of  their  patri- 
archs.   The  only  Jew  or  Christian  who  seems 
to  have  actually  entered  the  cave  and  given  us 
an  account  it,  is  Bu-njamin  Tudela,  whoie  de- 
scription we  hive  quoted  above.   All,  perhaps, 
that  can  be  gathered   with  absolute  certainty 
from  the    various  and  oftentimes  discrepant 
testimony  that  has  come  down   to  us,  is  the 
fact  that  universal  tradition,  Jewish,  Modem 
and  Christian,  points  to  this  Mosquf,  as  the  site 
of  the  cave  of  .Machpelah,  aud  that  the  tombs 
within  its  limits  are  sumptuously  adorned  and 
guarded  by  the  Turks   with  a  jealous  venera- 
tion peculiar  Io  them  in  all  matters  affecting 
their  religious  creed. 

Travellers  in  Palestine  frequently  mention 
th'a  bigoted  spirit  of  the  Moslem*.  One  cited 
by  Kelly,  in  his  work,  entitled  "  Syria  and  the 
Holy  Ijand,"  states  that,  when  he  stopped  for 
a  moment,  with  his  Jewish  companion,  to  look 


up  at  the  long  marble  staircase  leading  to  the 
tomb  of  Al)raham,  a  'I'urk  caniu  out  from  one 
of  the  bazaars,  and  with  furious  gesticula-* 
tions,  gathered  a  crowd  around  them.  "A 
Jew  and  a  Christian,"  he  adtls,  "  were  driven 
with  contempt  from  the  sepulchre  of  the  patri- 
arch whom  they  both  revered."  Ulin's  ac- 
count of  the  treatment  he  experienced  on  a  like 
occasion,  is  more  circumstantial,  and  is  so  in- 
f  en  sting  withal,  that  we  deem  no  ajwlogy 
necessary  for  laying  it  before  our  readers  : 

"  W'j  approached  the  main   entrance  by  a 
broad  and   noble  flight  of  marble  8tep.i,  and 
were  met  at  the  door  by  a  person  who  gi^emed 
to  have  charge  of  the  Mo^jue,  from  which  he 
came  out  to  demand  our  BQginess.    We  in- 
formed him  that  we  wished  to  examine  the 
inferior  of  the  edifice,  and  especially  Io  see  the 
tombs  of  the  Patriarchs.     He  said  that  this 
was  a  privilege  never  granted  to  Christians, 
o.ie  that  none  but  a   .Vtu-ssulmati   could    eojoy 
without  e.Tpress  orders  from   the  government. 
We  expressed  great  anxiety  to   be  indulged « 
with  admission,  and  ofiTered  to  pay  liberally 
could  we  be  gratified.    He  held  some  conrer- 
sation  with  aootbee  man  who  was  listening  lo 
our  negotiation,  and  then  beckoned  to   tig  to 
follow  him,  with  a  look  that  I  waa  disponed  to 
construe  favorably    more  especially  as  some 
boyii,  who  were  standing  by,  ap|)eared  dinpoted 
to  interfere  and  oppose  the  movement.    He 
led  og  along  a  passage,  formed  of  Willa  like  the 
exterior  of  the  edifice,  toward!  a  door,  which   *• 
I  '^regamed   opened  into  the    interior  of  the   * 
Mosque.     Before  arriving  at  that  point,  how-

ever,  be  called  our  attention  to  a  hole  in  the 
leftrhand  walT,  «nrecnBgTB  to  look  into  tt,  *s^l 
to  Bee  some  biglily  intereating  object.  We 
looked  as  directed,  but  saw  nothing,  as  the 
hole  is  hardly  more  than  a  loot  deep,  or  closed 
00  the  opposite  side  of  the  wall,  if  it  is  even  a 
vista  to  unytbing  beyond.  We  turned  away, 
and  after  seeking  in  vain  for  permisiion  to  pass 
the  door,  walked  out  of  the  Mosque,  doubtful 
whether  the  place  shown  us  is  connected  with 
some  tradition  which  renders  it  interesting  to 
the  eyes  of  Mussulmans,  or  whether  our  guide 
designed  it  as  a  hoax.  I  was  inclined  to  adopt 
the  latter  opinion,  as  the  bystanders  appeared 
to  be  amused,  and  evidently  enjoyed  our  dis- 
appointment. 

"  In  walking  around  the  precincts  of  this 
venerable  pile,  we  were  met  by  a  company  of 
boys,  apparently  just  let  out  of  school,  which 
is  usually  kept  in  or  near  the  Mosque.    With- 
out any  plausible    pretext,  they  rudely  de- 
manded buckshcesh,  which  we  of  course  de- 
clined giving.     We  bad  proceeded  only  a  few 
rods  from  tLem  and  entered  a  street,  when 
they  commenced  throwing  stones  at  us.     This 
they  continued,  runnifig   along  upon  the  flat 
,e^^  the  houat?.  "ntil  we  had  reached  the 
bazaar,  where  a  turn  in  the  street  sheltered  us 
from  their  missiles.     A  i.umber  of  respectable 
looking  men  were  present,  who   made   no  at- 
tempt to  rescue  us  from  insult.    The  Musaui" 
mans  of  Hebron  arc  noted  for  insolence  and 
iDtolerance." 

The  principal  Synagogue  of  Hebron  was,  in 
Olin'8  time,  a  low  arched  room,  dark  and 
gloomy,  and  but  poorly  fitted  up.  The  doctor 
visited  it  at  the  hour  of  prayer  :  "  A  number 
of  women,  without  veils,  were  assembled  in 
the  vestibule,  and  the  interior  was  occupied  by 
men  and  boys,  engaged  in  reading  and  devo- 
tion. Two  or  throe  persons  manifested  much 
earnestness  and  emotion  in  their  dcvoticns, 
even  to  the  extent  of  shedding  tears  and  sob- 
bing audibly." 

Fifteen  manuscript  copies  of  the  Thora 
(scrolls)  aro  preserved  in  the  Synagogue. 
They  are  kept  with  great  care  in  a  small  case 
shut  with  folding  doors.  The  long  parch 
ment  which  contains  the  l«w,  written  in  an 
infinite  number  of  transversa  columns,  is  at 
tacbed  to  the  ends  of  two  small  cylinders^,  upon 
which  it  is  wound  up.  There  is  another  Syn- 
agogue in  Hebron  besides  the  one  alluded  to, 
and  connected  with  them  are  several  (Ueda- 
rim)  schools.  J,  The  Jews  themselves  arc  mostly 
natives  of  Italy,  Spain,  Holland,  Germany, 
Russia  and  Greece.  Their  chief  Rabbi,  at  the 
time  of  Olin's  visit,  was  u  Hollander.  Miss 
Martineau  describes  him  as  a  gray-bearded, 
picturesque-looking  old  man,  exceedingly  kind 
and  hospitable  to  strangers.  Only  five  or  six 
of  the  Jews,  accor(«off^  to  Olin,  are  men  of 
property  ;  the  most  belonging  to  the  rank  of 
mechanics  and  laborers.  They  seem  to  be  less 
aflluent  than  any  other  class  of  their  brethren 
in  Euro^^heir  halzere,  which  occupies  the 
centre  ofTtic  town,  is  dark,  gloomy  and  damp  ; 
though  little  else  could  be  expected  in  a  city 
where  the  majority  of  the  streets  arc  but  two 
or  three  yards  in  width.  Nearly  all  the  houses 
in  the  town  are  built  of  rough  square  stones, 
the  common  limestone  of  which  the  mountains 
around  it  are  composed.  Some  of  these  stones 
are  enormously  large,  and  several  employed  in 
constructing  the  Mos(iuc  measured  twenty 
feet  in  Icngtii.  The  bazaars  are,  to  a  considera- 
ble extent,  covered  either  by  fome  kind  of  carv- 
ing, or  by  arches  springing  from  the  tops  of 
the  houses,  and  spanning  the  street.  They  are 
thus  securetl  from  the  effects  of  summer  heat, 
and  to  some  extent  against  the  rains.  The 
shops  much  resemble  those  of  Egypt  in  their 


size  and  arrangement  as  well  as  in  the  kind  of 
morchapdiny  p*p»!wd  fot sale ;  they  seem  to  be 
even  belter  supplied  with  goods  than  towns  of 
the  8»me  class  upon  the  Nile.  The  pavement 
of  the  streets  is  generally  very  bad,  being 
formed  of  stones  of  all  shapes  and  sizes,  laid 
without  reference  to  forming  a  smooth  surface. 

We  have   already  mentioned  the  grapes  of 
Hebron,  and  the  wine  which  is  made  from 
them.    The  vines  are  very  old,  and  a  little  to- 
wards Bethlehem,  have  the  appearance  of  large 
trees ;  from  the  size  of  the  trunks,  one  might 
almost  fancy  that  they  might  have  been  grow- 
ing since  the  days  of  Abraham.    The  vale  of 
Eschcol,  where  the  spies  sent  out  by  Moses 
found  the  grapes  so  heavy  that  to  carry  one 
bunch,  it  was  necessary  to  suspend  it  on  a  pole, 
is  about  half  an  hour's  walk_north  of  the  city. 
Other  fruits   also  abound  in  the  vicinity,  as 
olives,  figs,  quinces,  apricots,  etc.    The  hills  in 
the  neighborhood  are  thickly    clothed  with 
brushwood,   lilac    aud  white  cistus,  daphne, 
white-oak,  and  even  a  few   stunted  fir-trees. 
The  soil,  in  the  ploughed  fields,  has  a  deep  yel- 
lowish appearance ;  but  in  the  vineyards  and 
olive  grounds,   the  shadows  of  the  spreading 
trees  are   cast   on  a  soil  of  deep  red.    The 
country   abounds  In  Hocks    as  it  did  iirthe 
times  of  the  Patriarchs.    "  I  happened,"  says 
Olin,  "  to  stand  near  the  larger  reservoir,  a 
little  before  sunset,  when  the  flocks  of  sheep 
and  goats  were  descending  from  the  mountains 
which  surround  the   city,  and  assembling  in 
immense  numbers    around    the  walls.    'ITiey 
were  in  fine  cojidition,  and  carried  back  the 
thoughts  to  former  days,  when  Abraham  and 
Isaac   fed   their  flocks   upon  the  same  hills, 
brought  them  down  by  the  same  paths  into 
the  "  plain  of  Mamre,  which  is  Hebron,"  and 
perhaps  watered  them  at  the  same  fountains. 
The  sides  of  the  mountains  afford  excellent 
pasturage  for  these  flocks,  which  form  an  im- 
portant branch  of  the  wealth  of  the  city.    The 
hill  country    of    Judah,    though   rough    and 
mountainous,  is  so  productive  that,  under  a 
paternal  government,  it  would   be  capable  of 
sustaining  a  large  population. 

As  it  is,  earthquakes,  war  and  pestilence 
have  left  Hebron  but  a  wreck  of  its  former 
self  Its  present  inhabitouts  are  the  most  law- 
less and  desperate  people  of  the  Holy  Land. 
They  We  engaged  in  perpetual  hostilities  with 
those' of  Bethlehem,  and  on  this  account 
the  city  is  much  less  visited  by  pilgrims 
than  it  otherwise  would  be.  It  is  a  singular  fact 
that  they  sustain  at  the  present  day  the  same 
mutinous  character  that  distinguished  of  old 
the  rebels  who  armed  with  David  against  Saul, 
aid  with  Absalom  against  David.  The 
Sheiks  of  the  neighboring  towns  fomcht  dis- 
cords and  turmoils  am^g  them,  and  the  Pacha 
of  Egypt  finds  them  alt%fether  the  most  trou- 
blesome subjects  of  his  dominions.  The  bet- 
ter part  of  the  inhabitants  were  driven  away 
by  the  troubles  that  followed  the  unhappy 
outbreak  in  1834.  Those  who  remain  eke  out 
a  scanty  subsistence  by  the  produce  of  their 
flocks  and  their  vineyards.  And  this  is  all 
that  now  remains  of  Hebron,  the  oldest  city, 
as  many  believe,  in  the  world  ;  a  city  that 
was  in  existence  when  Carthage  was  in  its 
prime,  and  that  had  attaii  ed  a  high  degree  of 
prosperity  long  before  Romulus  had  walled 
in  the  few  huts  comprising  his  infant  colony 
on  the  banks  of  the  Tiber.  Yet  while  one 
stone  of  it  shall  remain  upon  another,  it  will 
continue  to  be  visited  by  pilgrims  of  all  nations 
and  creeds,  meeting  together  as  at  a  common 
shrine  of  hallowed  association?,  and  offering 
a  tribute  of  filial  respect  and  veneration  to 
what  is  at  once  the  cradle  and  the  sepulchre  of 
their  common  ancestry.

Wonderful  Gift  of  the  Power  of  Healing. 

The  seventeenth  and  early  part  of  the  eight- 
eenth centuries  present  us  with  several  exam- 
ples of  private  persons,  who  were  supposed  to 
have  a  miraculous  power  of  curing  by  touch. 
The  most  celebrated  was  a  Mr. Valentine  Great- 
rakes,  a  Protestant  gentleman  of  the  county  of 
Waterford,  born   in   1628— a  thoroughly  reli- 
gions and  good  man,  and  occupying  a  highly 
respectable  place  in  society.    It  was.sometime 
after  the  Restoration,  while  acting  as  clerk  of 
the  peace  to'"tbfi   county  of  Cork,  that  Mr. 
Greatrakes  arrived  at  a  conviction  of  his  pos- 
session of  healing  powers.  '   In  an  account  of 
himself,  which  he  wrote   in  1C66,  he  says : 
"About  four  years  since,  I  had  an  impulse 
which  frequently  suggested  to  me  that  there 
was  bestowed  on  me  the  gift  of  curing   the 
king's  evil,  which,   for  the  extraordinariness 
thereof,  I  thought  fit  to  conceal  for  some  time  ; 
but  at  lenfflh  I  told  my  wife ;     for,   whether 
sleeping  or  waking,  I  had  this  impulse  ;    but 
her  reply  was,  that  it  was  an  idle  imagination. 
But,  to  prove  the  contrary,  one  William  Ma- 
her,  of  the  parish  of  Lismore,  brought  his  son 
to  my  wife,  who  used  to  distribute  medicines 
in  charity  to  the  neighbors  ;  and  my  wife  came 
and  told  me  that  I  had  now  an  opportunity  of 
trying  my  impulse,  for  there  was  one  at   hand 
that  had  the  evil  grievously  in  the  eyes,  throat 
and  cheeks  ;  whereupon  IJlM  ™y  ^^""^^  "P**" 
the  places  affected,  and  PJjpK^o  ^od  for  good- 
ness'sake  to  bealbiin.-'    iK  few  days  after- 
wards, the  father  brougb^^bis  son  with  the  eye 
so  changed,  that  tile,  eye   was  almost  quite 
whole  ;  and  to  be  brief  (to  God's  glory  I  speak 
it,)  within  a  month  he  was  perfectly  healed; 
and  so  continues." 

Another  person,  still  more  afflicted,  was  soon 
after  cured  by  Mr.  Greatrakes  in  the  same 
manner ;  and  he  then  began  to  receive  an  "im- 
pulse," suggesting  that  he  could  cure  other 
diseases.  This  be  soon  had  an  opportunity  of 
proving  ;  for  "there  came  unto  me  a  poor  man, 
with  a  violent  pain  in  his  loins,  that  he  went 
almost  double,  and  having  also  a  grievous  ulcer 
in  his  leg,  very  black,  who  desired  me  for  God's 
sake  to  lay  my  bands  on  him  ;  whereupon  I 
put  my  hands  on  bis  loins  and  flank,and  imme- 
diately went  the  pafns  out  of  him,  so  that  be 
was  relieved,  and  could  stand  upright  without 
troubl^Jjhe  ulcer  also  in  his  leg  was  healed  ; 
SQ  tbaull^fo^  days,  he  returned  to  his  labor 
ds  a  mason." 

He  DOW  became  extensively  known  for  his 
gift  of  healing,  and  was  resortcll  to  by  people 
from  greater  distance!,  with  the  most  of  whom 
he  was  equally  successful.  Wounds,  ulcers, 
convu'sions,  and  dropsy,  were  among  the  mala- 
dies which  he  cured.  In  an  epidemic  fever  he 
was  also  eminently  euccessful,  healing  all  who 
came  to  him.  So  great  was  the  resort  to  bis 
house,  that  all  the  outhouses  connected  with  it 
were  usually  filled  with  patient8,and  he  became 
so  much  engaged  in  the  duty  of  healing  them- 
as  to  have  no  time  to  attend  to  his  own  affairs, 
or  to  enjoy  the  society  of  his  family.  The 
clergy  of  the  diocese  at  length  took  alarm  at 
bis  proceedings,  and  be  was  cited  by  the  Dean 
of  L=8more  before  the  Bishop's  Court,  by  which 
he  was  forbidden  to  exercise  bis  gift  for  the 
future — an  order  which  rem'uds  us  of  the  de- 
cree of  Louis  XIY.,  commanding  that  no  more 
miracles  should  be  performedat  the  tomb  of  the 
Abbe  Paris.  Mr.  Greatrakes,  nevertheless, 
continued  to  heal  as  formerly,  until  his  fame 
reached  En  gland.  In  August,  1C65,  he  re 
ceived  a  visit  from  Mr.  Flamstead,  the  astron 
omer,  who  was  afflicted  with  a  constitutional

weakness  ;  but  he  failed  in  this  case.      Early 
in  the  ensuing  year,  he  went  to  England  for  the 
pnrpoec  of  curing  th^  Viaconntess  Conway  of 
an  inveterate  headache,  in  which  also  he  failed. 
But,  while  residing  at  Ragley  wiih  the  Con- 
way family,  he  curil  many  hundreds  afflicted 
with  various dis*^.      Lord  Conway  himself, 
in  a  letter  to  his  brother,  thus  speaks  of  the 
healer :   "  I  must  confess,  that  before  his  arri- 
val, I  did  not  believe  the  tenth  part  of  those 
things  which  I  have  been  an  eye-witness  of; 
and  several  others,  of  as  accurate  judgment  as 
any  in  the  kingdom,  who  are  come  hither  out  of 
curiosity,  do  acknowledge  the  truth  of  his  ope- 
rations.   This  morning,  the  Bishop  of  GIou- 
cester  rccorameudLd  to  me  a  prebend's  son  in 
bis  diocese,  to  be  brought  to  him  for  a  leprosy 
from  head  to  foot,  which  hath  been  judged  in- 
curable above  ten  years,  and  in  my  chamber  he 
cured  him  perfectly  :    that  is,  from  a  moist  hu- 
mor, it  was  immediately  dried  up,  and  began  to 
fall  off;  the  itching  was  quite  gone,  and  the 
heat  of  it  taket  away.     The  youtll  was  trans- 
ported to  admiration.      *        *        *      After 
all,  I  am  far  from  thinking  that  his  cures  are 
at  all  miraculous.    I  believe  it  is  by  a  sanative 
virtue  and  a  natural  efficiency,  which  extends 
not  to  all  diseases,  but  is  much  more  proper 
and  effectual  to  some  than  to  others,  as  he  doth 
also  despatch  some  with  a  great  deal  of  ease, 
and  other3;not  without  a  great  deal  of  pains." 
He  was  now  invited  by  the  king  to  come 
to  London  ;  whither  be  accordingly  proceeded  ; 
and  as  he  went  along  through  the  country, 
we  are  told  that  the  magistrates  of  cities  and 
towns  begged  of  him  that  be  would  come  and 
care  their  sick.    The  king,  though  not  fully 
persuaded  of  his  wonderful  gift,  recommended 
him  to  the  notice  of  his  physicians,  and  per- 
mitted him  to  do  all  the  good  he  pleased  in 
London.      He  went  every  day  to  a  particu- 
lar   part  of    the    city,  where  a  prodigious 
number  of  people,  of  all  ranks,  and  of  both  sexes, 
assembled.    The  only  visible  means  be  took  to 
cure  them,  was   to  stroke   the  parts  affected. 
The  gout,  rheumatism,  and  other  painful  affec- 
tions were  driven  by  bis  touch  from  one  part 
to  another,  until  be  got  them  expelled  at  the 
very  extremities  of  the  body,  after  which  the 
patient  was  considered  as   cured.     Such  phe- 
nomena could  not  fail,  in  the  most  supersti- 
tious era  of  our  history,  to  excite  great  won. 
der,  aud  attract  universal  attention.     The  cav- 
alier wits  and  courtiers  ridiculed  them,  as  they 
ridiculed  every  thing  else  that  appeared  seri- 
ous.   St.  Evremond,  then  at  court,  wrote  a  sar- 
castic novel  on  the  subject,  under  the  title  Df 
the  Irish  Prophet.      Others,  including  several 
of  the  faculty,  defended  him.    It  even  appears 
that  the  Royal   Society,  unable  to  refute   the 
facts,  were  compelled  to  account  for  them  as 
produced  by  "  a  sanative  contagion   in  Great- 
rake's  body,  which  had  an  antipathy  to  some 
particular  diseases  and  not  to  otLers."    They 
also  published  some  of  his  cures  in  their  Trans- 
actions. • 

A  severe  pamphlet  by  Dr.  Lloyd,  chaplain 
af  the  Charter-House,  caused  Mr.  Greatrakes, 
at  this  time,  to  publish  the  account  of  himself 
which  has  been  already  quoted.  In  it,  he  says, 
"  Many  demand  of  me  why  some  are  cured,  and 
not  all.  To  which  question  I  answer,  that 
God  may  please  to  make  use  of  such  means, 
by  me,  as  shall  operate  according  to  the  dispo- 
sitions of  the  patients,  and  therefore  cannot  be 
expecttd  to  be  alike  efficacious  in  all.  They 
also  demand  of  rac  why  some  are  cured  at  once 
and  not  all?  and  why  the  pains  should  fly  im. 
mediately  out  of  some,  and  take  such  ambages 
in  others  ?  and  why  it  should  go  out  of  some 
at  their  eyes,  and  some  at  their  fingers,  some 
at  their  ears  or  mouths  ?    To  which  I  say,  i

substance  that  is  which  removes  and  goes  out 
with  such  expedition,  aud  it  will  be  more  easy 
to  resolve  their  questions.    Some  will  know  of 
me  why  or  how  I  do  pursue  some  pains  from 
place  fo  place  till  I  have  chased  them  out  of 
the  body,  by  laying  my  bands  on  the  outside 
of  the  clothes  only  (as  [is  usual)  and  not  all 
pains?    To  which  I  answer  that — and  others 
haye  been  abundantly  satisfied   that  it  is  so — 
though  I  am  not  able  to  give  a  reason,  yet  I 
^a  apt  to   believe  there  are  some  pains  which 
afflict  men  in  such  a  manner  that  they  cannot 
endure  iny  hand,  r,ay,  nor  my  gloves,  but  fly 
immediately,  though  six  or  eight    coals  or 
cloaks  be  put  between  the  person  and   my 
hand, -as  at  the  Lady    Ranelagb's  at  York 
House,  in  London,  as  well  as  in   Ireland,  has 
been  manifested.     Now,  another  question  will 
arise,  whether  the  operation  of  my  hand  pro- 
ceeds from  the  temperature  of  my  body,  or 
from  a  divine  gift,  or  from  both.    To  which  I 
i     say,  that  I  have  reason  to  believe  that  there  is 
some  extraordinary  gift  of  God."     At  the  end 
of  bis  narrative  are  appended  a  number  of  cer- 
tifiofttes  as  to  his  en  res.  oi^Pf*.]   by   the  moat 
respectable,  pious  and  learned  persons  of  the 
day,  among  whom  are  the  Honorable  Robert 
Boyle,  Bishop  Rust,  Dr.  Cudwortb,  Dr.  Pat- 
rick, Dr.  Whichcot,  and   Dr.  Willkins.    In 
16C7,  he  returned  to  Ireland,  where  be  lived 
for  many  years,  but  without  sustaining  his 
reputation  for  curing.    It  appears  that,  upon 
the  strictest  inquiry,  no  blemish  could  ever  be 
found  to  attach  to  the  character  of  this  extraor- 
dinary man.    All  he  did  was  done  in  a  pure 
spirit     of     piety    and      benevolence.      The 
truth  of  the  impretsive  words  with  which  he 
concludes  his  own  narrative  was  never  chal- 
lenged :  "  Whether  I  have  done  my  duty  as  a 
Ohristian   in  employing  that  talent  which  God 
had  entrusted  me  withal  to  the  good  of  people 
distressed  and  afflicted,  or  no,  judge  you  and 
every  good  man.    Thus  far  I  appeal  to  the 
world  whether  I  have  taken  rewards,  deluded 
or  deceived  any  man.    All  further   I  will  say 
is,  that  I  pray  I  may   never    weary  of  well- 
doing, and  that  I  may  be  found  a  faithful  servant, 
when  I  come  to.  give  up  my  last  account." 
Mr.  Southey,  in  his  "  Omniana,"    quotes 
some  curious  passages  respecting  Greatrakes, 
from  a  contemporary  writer,  Henry  More.    It 
seems  to  have  been  More's  opinion  that  there 
may  be  a  sanative  and  healing  contagion,  as 
well  as  a  morbid  or  venomous.    He  states  that 
Greatiake's  band  had  'a  sort  of  herbous,  aro- 
matic scent,'  and  that  be  could  also  cure  by 
bis  spittle.     More  was  not  surprised  by  the 
cures  of  Greatrakes,  having,  ten  years  before, 
seen  one  '  Coker,'  who, '  by  a  very  gentle  cha- 
fing or  rubbing  of  his  hand,'  cured  diseases,  but 
not  so  many  as  Greatrakes,  who  was  success- 
ful, he  says,  in  '  cancers,  scrofulas,  deafness, 
king's  evil,  headache,  epilepsy,  fevers,  (though 
quartan  ones.)  leprosy,  palsy,  tympany,  lame- 
ness, numbness  of  limbs,  etone,  convulsions, 
phthisic,  sciatica,  ulcers,  pains  of  the  body, 
nay,  blind  and  dumb,  in  some  measure,  and  I 


know  not  but  he  cured  the  gout.'  More,  at  the 
game  time,  states,  that '  he  did  not  succeed  in 
all  his  application?,  nor  were  his  cures  always 
lasting.' 

Besides  Greatrakes,  there  was  De  Ijouther- 
bourg,  the  well-known  painter :  Gassner,  a 
Roman  Catholic  priest,  in  Swabia  :  and  an 
English  gardener,  named  Levret,  who  used  to 
say  that  so  much  virtue  went  out  of  him  that 
he  was  more  exhausted  by  touching  thirty  or 
forty  people  than  by  digging  eight  roods  of 
ground. 


Nnthnn  atifl  Solomoii. 

One  day  in  spring,  Solomon,  then  a  youth, 
sat  under  the  palm-trees,  in  the  garden  of  the 
king,  his  father,  with*  his  eyes  fixed  on  the 
ground,  and  absorbed  in  thought.  Nathan, 
his  preceptor,  went  up  to  him,  and  said :  Why 
sittest  thou  thus,  musing  under  the  palm- 
trees  ? 

The  youth  raising  his  head,  answered  :  Na- 
than, I  am  exceedingly  desirous  to  behold  a 
miracle. 

A  wish,  said  the  prophet,  with  a  smile, 
which  I  entertained  myself  in  my  juvenile 
years. 

And,  was  it  granted?  hastily  askod  the 
prince. 

A  man  of  God,  answered  Nathan,  came  to 
me,  bringing  in  his  hand  a  pomegranate  seed. 
Observe,  said  he,  what  this  seed  will  turn  to ! 
He  thereupon  made  with  his  finger  a  hole  in 
the  earth,  and  put  the  seed  into  the  hole,  and 
covered  it.  Scarcely  bad  he  drawn  back  his 
hand,  when  the  earth  parted,  and  I  saw  two 
leaves  shoot  forth  ;  but  no  sooner  did  I  per- 
ceive them  than  the  leaves  separated,  and  from 
between  them  arose  a  round  stem,  covered 
with  bark,  and  the  stem  became  every  mo- 
ment higher  and  thicker. 

The  man  of  God  therefore  said  to  me : — 
Take  notice  !  And  while  I  observed,  seven 
shoots  issued  from  the  stem,  like  the  seven 
branches  on  the  candlestick  of  the  altar. 

I  was  astonished,  but  the  man  of  God  mo- 
tioned to  me,  and  commanded  me  to  b^  silent, ' 


The  above  are  but  a  few  of  the  many  in- 
stances that  have  come  down  to  us  of  the  pos- 
Tession  oTwohderTul  powere  oTTeaHng.  ^  It  is 
not  surprising  that,  in  an  ignorant  age,  those 
gifted  with  this  singular  faculty,  should  have 
been  Id  ked  up  to  as  beings  of  a  higher  order 
than  themselves. 

Miracles. 
L«t  not  the  sceptic's  ignorance  presume 
To  mark  the  limits  of  celestial  power, 
N^i^eigli  its  greatness  in  the  partial  scale 
Of,  littlo  man's  conSned  philosophy. 
What !  shall  that  God  whose  energies  dirine 
Waked  slumb'ring  matter  from  the  dark  ab^si 
Of  chaos,  and  with  all-creative  hand 
Bade  each  minuter  particle  assume 
Its  form  and  character  ;  shall  He,  whose  arm 
Upon  the  boundless  ocean  of  the  air 
Launched  jon  stupendous  continent  of  fire. 
Round  which,  by  laws  immutable  constrained, 
The  sutyect  planets  roll  their  pendent  orbs; 
Shall  that  great  God,  who,  with  all-seeing  eye 
And  wisdom  infinite,  assigned  its  place 
To  each  created  atom  ;  who  arranged 
And  methodized  by  comprehensive  rule, 
In  order  beautiful,  the  harmonious  whole  ; 
Who,  calling  forth  its  active  properties, 
And  blending  all  their  excellence,  produced 
That  miracle  of  miracles,  this  World  ;— 
Shall  lie  be  bounded  by  the  narrow  line 
Of  tnortftl  tudiUm  ?    Ct»»e,  presumptuous  man  ; 
Doubt  not,  because  thou  canst  not  understand. 
Thy  circumscribed  reason  ne'er  shall  reach 
The  secret  depths,  or  trace  the  hidden  maze 
Of  heavenly  councils  :  call  thy  truant  thoughts 
Back  to  their  God,  nor  with  fallacious  art 
Seek  to  mislead  th'  uncultivated  mind 
That  asks  of  thee  instruction  :  rather  let 
The  passing  wonders  of  thy  Maker's  works 
Kxcits  thine  adoration,  and  arouse 
Thy  sleeping  faculties  in  hymns  of  praise  :— 
"  Great  Lord  of  Life!  to  Thee  I  kneel,  to  Thee 
Pour  forth  the  warm  effusions  of  a  heart 
Grateful  for  all  Thy  mercies :  Lord,  look  down 
Upon  Thy  servant,  and,  as  once  thou  deign'dst 
To  send  Thy  Spirit  to  conduct  the  steps 
Of  Israel's  children  through  the  pathless  waste 
To  happier  regions,  so  may'st  thou,  O  God, 
Guide  through  this  world,  this  wilderness  of  sin, 
A  hopeless  wand'rer,  and  at  last  from  death 
Raise  up  his  raptured  soul  to  that  high  heaven, 
Where,  throned  with  Thee,  the  just  shall  ever  live 
In  endless  peace  and  everlasting  love."

and  to  attend.    Behold,  said  be,  new  creations 
will  soon  make  their  appearanee. 


He  thereupon  brought  water  in  the  hollow 
of  his  band  from  the  stream  which  flowed  past; 
and  lo !  all  the  branches  were  covered  with 
green  leaves,  so  that  a  cooling  shade  was 
thrown  around  us,  together  with  a  delicious 
odour.  Whence,  exclaimed  I,  is  this  perfume 
amid  the  refreshing  shade  7 

Seest,  t>od  not,  said  the  man  of  God,  the 
scarlet  Mossom,  as,  shooting  forth  from  among 
the  green  leaves,  it  bangs  down  in  clusters? 

I  was  about  to  answer,  when  a  gentle  breeze 
agitated  the  leaves,  and  strewed  the  blossoms 
around  us,  as  the  autumnal  blast  scatters  the 
withered  foliage.  No  sooner  had  the  blos- 
soms fallen  than  the  red  proraegranutes  appear- 
ed suspended  among  the  leaves,  like  the  al- 
monds on  the  staves  of  Aaron.  The  man  of 
God  then  left  me  in  profound  amazement. 

Nathan  ceased  speaking.  What  is  the 
name  of  the  godlike  man?  asked  Solomon 
hastily.  Doth  he  yet  live  ?  Where  doth  he 
dwell  ? 

Son  of  David,  replied  Nathan,  I  have  rela- 
ted to  thee  a  vision. 

When  Solomon  heard  these  words,  he  was 
troubled  to  bis  heart,  and  said  :  How  canst 
thou  deceive  me  thus  ? 

I  have  not  deceived  thee,  Son  of  Jesse,  re- 
joined Nathan.  Behold,  in  thy  father's  gar- 
den tbou  mayest  see  all  that  I  have  related  to 
thee.  Doth  not  the  same  thing  take  place 
with  every  pomegranate,  and  with  the  other 
trees  ? 

Yes,  said  Solomon,  but  imperceptibly,  and 
after  a  long  time. 

Then  Nathan  answered:  Ig  it  therefore 
the  less  a  divine  work,  because  it  takes  place 
silently  and  insensibly?  Study  nature  and 
her  operations  ;  then  wilt  thou  easily  believe 
those  of  a  higher  power,  and  not  lorg  for 
miracles  wrought  by  a  human  hand. — Parablei. 

Prkjudick. — We  bate  some  persons  becaue^ 
we  do  not  know  them,  and  we  will  not  know 
them,  because  we  hate  them .  Those  friend- 
ships that  succeed  to  such  aversions  arc  usual- 
ly|firm,  for  those  qualities  must  be-sterling,  that 
could  not  only  gain  our  hearts,  but  conquer 
our  prejudices.  But  the  misfortune  is  that  we 
carry  these  prejudices  into  things  far  more  seri 
ous  than  our  friendships.  'I'bus,  there  arc 
truths  which  some  men  despise,  because  they 
have  not  examined,  and  will  not  examine, 
because  they  despise  them.  There  is  one 
signal  instance  on  record,  where  this  kind  of 
prejudice  was  overcome  by  a  miracle  ; — but  the 
age  of  miracles  is  past,  while  that  of  prejudice 
remains. — Cotton.

Cknsurb,  thk  eminent  exposed  to. — It  is  a 
folly  for  an  eminent  man  to  think  of  escaping 
censure,  and  a  weakness  to  be  affected  by  it. 
All  the  illustrious  persons  of  antiquity,  and  in- 
deed of  every  age  in  the  world,  have  passed 
through  this  fiery  persecution.  There  is  no  de- 
fence against  reproach  but  obscurity  ;  it  is  a 
kind  of  concomitant  to  greatness,  as  satires  and 
invectives  were  an  essential  part  of  a  Roman 
triumph.  Addison. 

Aphorisms. — The  excellence  of  aphorisms 
consists  not  so  much  in  the  expression  of  some

TBI  BBOTHKIiS  or  JOSIPH. 
"And  they  sat  down  to  eat  bread :  and  they  lifl- 
ed  up  their  eyes  and  looked,  and,  behold  a  com* 
panyof  Ishmaelites  camo  from  Gilead  with  their 
camels,  bearing  spicery  and  balm  and  myrrh.go- 
ing  to  carry  it  down  to  Egypt."       Gen.  37 :  25. 

Wh.it  is  here  called  a  company,  is  usually 
known  by  the  name  of  Caravan,  in  the  Esst. 
In  many  parts  of  that  country,  these  caravans 
form  the  only  means  of  tran.sport  and  commu- 
nication which  the  people  enjoy. 

Throughout  Turkey,  Persia,  Egypt,  Arabia, 
Barbary,  and  various  other  contiguous  coun- 
tries, all  kinds  of  merchandise  are  cairied  by 
camels,  which  in  caravans  greatly  outnumber 
both  the  men  and  the  horses, — and  of  all  con" 
veyances  fn  those  countries,  furnish  the  most 
convenient,  economical  and  expeditious. 

Merchants  and  travellers  were  formerly  ac- 
customed to  assemble  in  the  place  from  whence 
they  were  to  start,  and  wait  for  each  other,  uu" 
til  a  sufficiently  large  company  bad  gathered 
to  protect  the  caravan  from  insult  and  pillage. 
They  then  started  off,— sometimes  resting 
the  most  of  the  day  and  marching  while  it  was 
cool  at  night,  or  marching  all  day  in  the  cooler 
latitudes,  and  resting  at  night. 

Every  caravan  was  commanded  by  a  Chief 
or  Aga,  who  bad  three  subordinate  oOicers  un- 
der him,  and  a  sufficient  number  of  soldiers  to 
protect  the  life  and  property  eutrusted  to  bis 
charge. 

Caravans  frequently  consisted  of  thousands 
of  men  and  animals,  and  occupied  weeks  in 
passing  from  country  to  country. 

During  the  long  and  lonesome  journeys, 
which  they  made  through  barren  deserts  aud 
uninhabitable  wilds,  the  travellers  sometimes 
endured  hardships  and  fatigue  almost  incredible. 
Provisions  and  water  would  become  scarce  or 
fail  altogether,  and  camels,  horses,  and  even 
men  would  perish  from  deprivation.  Every 
thing,  however,  was  willingly  endured  for  the 
sake  of  tha  gains  insured  by  a  successful  trip, 
which  not  uufrcqucntly  made  the  fortune  of  an 
adventurer  in  a  single  expedition.

It  is  an  observation  of  the  late  Lord  Bishop 
of  Landaff,  that  there  are  but  two  kinds  of  men 
who  succeed  as  public  characters— men  of  no 
principle,  but  of  great  talent,  and  men  of  no 
talent,  but  of  one  principle,  that  of  obedience 
to  their  siiperiore.  In  fact  there  will  never  be 
a  deficiency  of  this  second  class  ;  persons  who 
have  no  higher  ambition  than  that  of  sailing  in 
the  wake  of  other  men's  opinions.  Indeed,  it 
is  lamentable  to  think,  what  a  gulf  of  imprac- 
ticability must  ever  separate  men  of  principle, 
whom  offices  want,  from  men  of  no  principle, 
who  want  offices.  It  is  easy  to  ice  that  an 
Elijah  or  Elisha  could  not  be  connected  for 
one  hour  with  an  Ahab  or  a  Jeroboam.  Those 
who  would  conscientiously  employ  power  for 
the  good  of  others,  deserve  it,  but  do  not  desire 
it ;  and  those  who  eould  employ  it  for  the  good 
of  themselves,  desire  it,  but  do  not  deserve  it. 


Luxury. — When  I  behold  a  fashionable  ta- 
ble set  out  in  all  its  magnificence,  I  fancy  that 
I  see  gouts  and  dropsies,  fevers  and  lethargies, 
with  other  innumerable  distempers  lying  in 
ambuscade  among  the  dishes.  Nature  delights 
in  the  most  plain  and  simple  diet.  Every  ani- 
mal, but  man,  keeps  to  one  dish.  Herbs  are 
the  food  of  this  species,  fish  of  that,  and  flesh 
of  a  third.  Man  falls  upon  every  thing  that 
comes  in  his  way ;  not  the  smallest  fruit  or  ex- 
crescence of  the  earth,  scarce  a  berry  or  a  mosh- 
roon  can  escape  bim. — Addison.

TO  OUR   FRIENDS   AND  AGESTS. 

OENTt-EMEN   : 

You  will  paHicr  asumdently  precise  idea 
of  the  character  and  Ki-neral  plan  of  the  present 
Bhcet,  by  rcferrinR  to  the  prospectus  and  the  table 
of  contenls  embraced  in  this  number.  The  want 
of  such  a  paier  has  long  been  felt  and  acknowl- 
edged. The  success  of  this  will  depend  Inrgcly 
upon  the  measure  of  ability  which  wc  can  bring 
to  the  performance  of  our  task,  but  also.  let  us 
add,  in  a  very  great  measure  upon  your  efforts. 
If  the  plaa  of  this  sheet  meet  your  approval,  and  if 
we  can  rely  with  certainty  upon  your  kind  wishes 
for  its  prosperity  and  your  endeavors  to  promote 
its  circulation,  its  success  is  certain  ;  it  will  take 
rank  at  once  amonjr  Oie  most  popular  and  influ- 
ential religiourf.iournal8i>C-this  Slate.  We  have 
taken  the  liberty  to  transmit  to  you  several  num- 
bers of  tills  our  first  isj-uc,  and  would  accompany 
them  with  ihc  earnest  request,  that  if  circumstans 
ces  should  prevent  your  accepting  the  agency, 
which  we  lien  by  tender  to  you,  you  will  confide 
Um»  «*uM!.  to  some  suitu''!';  person  of  your  ac-

quaintancc,  who  will  be  willin-;  to  accept  it,  and 
that  you  will  immediately  advise  us  by  letter  of 
the  selection  you  have  thus  made.  We  would 
also  urge|upon  you  the  propriety  of  your  endeavor- 
ing to  secure  for  our  paper  an  extended  circulation 
among  Christians  no  less  than  among  Jews,  as 
wo  intend  to  devote  a  large  space  in  its  columns 
to  matter  that  cannot  but  prove  interesting  to  the 
general  reader.  We  shall  allow  our  agents  the 
usual  rate  of 25  percent  upon  all  moneys  receiv-. 
ed  by  them,  whether  for  subscriptions  or  adver- 
tisements. Wo  earnestly  solicit  from  all,  whether 
personally  known  to  us  or  not,  who  are  friendly 
to  the  success  of  our  enterprise,  the  communica- 
tion of  such  interesting  items  of  intelligence  rela- 
tive to  our  people,  as  may  from  time  to  time 
reach  them.  We  sliall  thus,  we  trust,  be  enabled 
topre^eiitourreaders,  each  week,  with  a  summary 
of  news  that  will  prove  peculiarly  acceptable,  not 
only  to  the  members  of  our  creed  resident  in 
California,  but  also  to  our  numerous  friends  and 
relations  in  the  Eastern  States  and  in  Europe. 
We  remain, 'Gentlemen, 

Very  respectfully  Yours,

In  sub  Hitting  to  the  public  Hiu  first  num- 
ber of  a  Periodical,  it  is  custoinury  to  siiy  a 
few  words  relative  to  tlic  wants,  real  or  funciul, 
Which  the  new  pubiiculion  is  iutcuded  to  sap- 
ply,  ami  to  hiy  down  as  it  wen*  n  chart  of  tlie 
general  principles  l)y  which  its  future  cour.se 
is  to  be  guided.  In  accortlunce  with  this  nsago, 
wo  proceed  to  slate  us  l)riofly  as  possible  tlie 
aim  and  scope  of  tlio  present  pitblication, 
simply  premising  tliul  if  any  apology  be  deemed 
requisite  for  our  entering  the  already  crowded 
arena  of  public  journalism,  it  may  be  fonnd  in 
the  fact  Uiat,  apart  from  the  propriety  of  hav- 
ing our  principles  properly  represented  by 
a  local  organ  of  our  own,  (he  Eastern  Press 
has  hitherto  paid  so  little  attention  to  certain 
branches  of  practical  utility  as  to  render  the 
e8tabli^hnlellt  of  such  an  organ  aim  st  a  mat- 
ter of  ueccssity.  I'roperly  to  supply  this  defi- 
ciency will  bo  iho  leading  aim  of  the  present 
tbecl. 

The  Maiseph,  tho  Gleaner,  Gatherer,  Defen- 
der, for  ihc  original  has  all  these  signifua- 
tions,  is  intended  to  be  a  religious  and  literary 
family  paper,  devoted  to  the  general  advocacy 
of  whatever  shall,  in  the  opiuiou  of  its  Editor, 


moral  welfare  as  a  people. 

Biblical    nnd  j€wi»h   Aiitiquitica. 

As  a  r<  pository  of  rare  and  varied  informa- 
tion upon  all  matters  relating  to  Jewish  and 
IJ.blicixl  Antiquities,  we  shall  endeavor  to  make 
the  Gleaner  peculiarly  valuable  to  all,  whether 
Jew  or  Gentile,  who  are  interested  in  the  study 
of  this  important  branch  of  human  knowledge. 
EoDlern    Trnvcl*. 

Full  and  accurate  descriptions  of  the  classic 
localities  of  the  land  of  our  forefathers— local- 
ities that  have  been  hallowed  by  the  pen  of 
inspiration,  and  that  have  witnessed  the  acting 
of  some  of  the  most  important  and  extraordi- 
nary scenes  in  human  history,  will  forman  im- 
portant feature  of  our  paper. 
liluiitralioiia. 

Both  tho  above  mentioned  Departments  will 
be  regularly  illustrated  every  week   with  ap- 
propriate and  tasteful  wood-cuts. 
Kducntion. 

Without  directly  tMicroaohiiig-  upon  the 
province  of  the  teacher,  tlie  I'loss  is,  in  this 
country  at  least,  his  best  and  most  influential 
ally.  The  Gleaner  will  discuss  all  questions 
having  a  direct  bearing  upon  the  education  and 
proper  management  of  our  children,  whether  in 
school  or  at  home:  always  keeping  in  view  the 
important  fact  that  the  training  of  the  moral 
faculties,  now  in  a  measure  neglected,  should 
go  hand  in  hand  with  that  of  the  mental. 

As  the  friend  of  the  family,  the  Gleaner  will 
also  devote  considerable  space  to  articles  cal- 
culated to  promote  the  happiness  and  general 
welfare  of  every  member  of  the  household. 
Juvenile    Di^partinciit. 

An  important  and  interesting  feature  of^ur 
paper  will  be  the  Juvenile  Department— to  the 
proper  management  of  which  we  shall  devote 
ni'ich  care  and  thought.  Our  litt'c  readers 
will  take  up  the  Gleaner  every  week  with  the 
certainty  of  finding  two  or  three  of  its  col- 
umns especially  devoted  to  their  interesls. 
To  amnse  and  instruct  them  will  be  with  us 
a  matter  of  no  secondary  importance  ;  and 
the  better  to  attain  this  two-fold  end,  we  shall 
strive  to  convey  our  idcis  to  them  in  the  sim- 
plest and  plainest  language  we  can  employ. 
Oommlic  Kconoiur- 
i  0  the  Department  of  Domestic  Economy 
and  Hygiene,  wc  shall  devote  aafcnueli  space  as 
is  consistent  with  our  gen'ral  plan,  and  shall 
in  this  connection  publish  regularly  every 
week  a  nnmber  of  important  rules  and  receipts 

for  the  household. 

Oencral   IVcwa  Kr^nrilinK  our  People  nnil 
liitvrfniK. 

Each  number  of  this  sheet  will  contain  suc- 
cinct and  important  summaries  of  foreign  news 
in  relation  to  our  people  and  their  interests, 
and  we  shall  from  time  to  time  lay  before  our 
readers  such  interesting  items  of  news  from 
our  brethren  as  may  riaeh  us  from  sources  and 
countries  hitherto  little  known  to  the  general 
reader. 

Wo  shall  endeavor  to  render  the  Gleaner  a 
medium  for  the  free  interchange  of  thought 
from  whatever  source  it  may  emanate— and  its 
columns  will  always  be  open  for  the  temperate 


discussion  of  all  questions  connected  ^  either 
willr  oilf  iJWir  or  vritir -t 


Finally,  we  shall  spare  no  endeavors  to  render 
this  sheet  a  welcome  visitor  at  every  fire-side, 
a  credit  to  our  people,  and  an  honor  to  our 
State.  We  shall  strive  so  to  blend  the  useful 
with  the  agreeable  n  our  columns,  as  that  no 
one,  whether  Jew  or  Gentile,  can  rise  from  the 
perusal  of  its  pages  without  feeling  that  he  has 
been  at  once  amused  and  inslructed. 

In  the  momentous  crir'is  throngh  which 
oar  system  of  theology  is  now  passing,  we  shall 
strive  to  pay  due  deference  to  the  past,  without 
liowever,  ignoring  the  requirements  of  the  pres- 
ent, or  failing  to  provide  for  our  existence  in 
the  future. 

We  thus  send  forth  the  Gleaner  upon  what 
we  sincerely  trust  will  pfove  a  useful  and  bles- 
sed mission,  and,  however  little  temporary  pro- 
fit or  advantage  may  accrue  to  us,  we  shall  feel 
amply  rewarded  if  in  the  cud  it  shall  be  found 
to  have  advanced,  however  little,  the  cause  of 
piety  and  the  best  interests  of  mankind  upon 

earth.

To  Our  Readers. 

To  j"dge  from  the  repeated  (bmand  for  the 
Gleaner  at  cur  office,  it  appears  that  not  one 
half  the  nutaber  of  those  who  are  desirous  of 
its  perus.il,  have  as  yet  been  supplied  with 
copies.  We  gave  directions  for  distribution  to 
every  mer.iber  of  the  press,  every  clergyman, 
literary  institution,  and  to  several  public  of- 
fices in  the  city.  But  our  inexperience  in  the 
undertaking  in  whieh  duty  compelled  us  to 
embark,  and  our  lack  of  business  capacity,  ex- 
pose us  to  many  diPfi 'ulties  and  errors,  for 
which  wc  crave  indulgence,  and  which  wc  shall 
try  to  remedy  in  future.  Among  these  we 
mention  the  choice  of  an  Agent  or  Carrier. 
We  I  ngagt  d  for  this  department  a  gentleman  to 
whose  fidelity  alone  we  looked,  without  being 
aware  of  his  want  of  local  and  personal  ac- 
quaintance in  Saij  Francisco. 

We  therefore  be;,'  to  state  that  gentlemen, 
families  or  oflices,  desirous  of  copies,  will  And 
a  supply  at  the  Depositf-ries  of 

Messrs.  Itutehings  &  Rosenftld,  IIG  Mont- 
gomery street  ; 

Messrs.  Sulli\an  &  Co,  near  the  Post  Office  ; 

At  our  Office,  UO  Sacramento  street. 

The  Illustrations. 
The  subjects  of  the  lilustratioos  of  this,  our 
second  number,  are  : — 

1.  The  Hear  View  of  the  Maraih-llaraach- 
pelah,  or  Cave  of  Machpelah,  at  Hebron. 

ifaving  presented  our  readers  in  our  last, 
the  Ffont  View  of  the  venerable  structure 
over  the  resting  -place  of  our  Patriarchs,  we 
now  lay  before  them  the  rear  of  the  building . 
thus  affording  them  a  complete  view  of  one  of 
the  rarest  remains  of  ancient  Jewish  archi- 
tecture. 

2.  The  Elone  Mararc,  or  Abraham's  Oak, 
near  Hebron.  The  description  will  follow  in 
our  next,  with  several  interesting  archaeologi- 
cal items  of  Hebron  and  its  vicioiiy. 

To  Ol'R  Agents.— For  the  terms  conceded 
to  you,  refer  to  the  Circular.    The  Agency  at 

St is,  we  suppose,  occupied.    Please 

preserve  carefully  the  copies  which  you  cannot 
dispose  of— as  our  means  do  but  allow  us  a 
limited  issue,  and  they  may  be  wanted  else- 
where. We  will  pay  the  postage  willingly  on 
such  returned  copies,  if  rt  quired.

And  if  in  two  or  three  instanops,  travelers  im- 
agine they  have  found  tribes  without  the  relig- 
iousscntiinent— devoid  of  this  jnfu/</on -their 
observation  may,  perhaps,  rest  on  the  want  of 
a  more  intimate  acquaintanca  with  these 
races,  or,  on  the  fact  that  the  seutimeDt  in 
those  nations,  who  were  still  in  a  state  of 
infancy,  is  as  little  developed  in  them  as  it  ia 
with  infants  among  us  ;  hence  they  could  not 
give  sufficient  outward  signs  of  its  inherency. 

Nor  is  the  argument  of  its  universality 
affected  by  the  fact,  that  human  beings  have 
been  found,  who,  removed,  at  a  very  early 
period  of  their  lives,  from  society  and  its  influ- 
ences, seem  to  have  been  apparently  deprived 
of  it.  For  these  unfortunates  Were  found  to 
lack  the  pusscssion  of  other  faculties  common  to 
our  race,  as  that  of  lausrhter,  of  lan;>uagc,  etc. ; 
'  and  yet,  their  lack  of  them  is  no  more  proof 
of  their  not  being  universal  among  us,  Umn 
the  fact  of  animals  b:>ing  sometimes  found 
in  a  stuff'  of  tcrpidily,  p'ovos  tlie  absence  of  _ 
vital  faculties  in  the  entire  species  to  which 
they  belong. 

Expose  the  torpid  serpent  to  tlic  genial  influ- 
ence of  the  vernal  sun,  and,  at  once,  its  pus- 
pended  powers  will  be  r.-ncwed  as  with  a 
spell,  and  it  will  live.  The  benumbed  swal- 
low, occasionally  found  in  old  walls  and  rocks, 
when  exposed  to  the  same  influence,  will  cxpe- 
Vience  a  similar  change,  will  revive  and  dart 
upwards  to  the  sun;  so  will  tho  mind  of  the  un- 
tutond  child  of  nature,  when  subje -teJ  to  the 
reviving  effects  of  spiritual  inlluences,  ex- 
pand and  soar  into  tho  regions  of  spirit, 
attracted  by  the  benign  influence  of  a  divine 
principle  inherent  in  us,  which  tolls  us    there 

is  a  God ! 

The  same  remark  will  apply  to  members  of 
civilized  society,  who  are  unfurlunate  enough 
to  be  totally,  or  partially,  destitute  of  th's 
sanctifying  sentiment.  T/iey  are  tlie  exceptions 
—the  few  exceptions— to  the  general  rule. 
The  hnman  race  possesses  this  sentiment  in  an 
eminent  degree  ;  it  is  the  d'stinguishing  char- 
acteristic of  man,  a::d  the  fjw  who  are  de- 
prived of  it,  are  to  be  classed  with  those  of 
our  species  who  lack  some  of  the  physical 
faculties.  We  daily  meet  with  men  who  are 
dumb,  deaf,  or  blind  ;  there  are  men  who  c m- 
not  distinguish'  colors,  others  who  have  no  car 
for  melody  ;  others  cannot  realize  the  relation 
between  cause  or  effect ;  there  are  partial,  and 
there  are  total  idiots.  But  these  exceptions 
prove  nothing  against  the  existence  of  the 
senses  in  question  in  the  race.  So  docs  the 
existence  of  atheism  not  disprove  tha  existence 
of  the  religious  principle  within  us.  It  merely 
proves  tiiat,  as  there  are  physical,  so  there  are 
moral  del'ects,  incidental  to  our  species.  But 
we  say  that  these  arc  the  exceptions,  while  the 
general  fact  is  that  we  C;irr7  the  impress,  the 
"  image  of  Go  J,"  engraven  on  the  tablets  of 
our  hearts, — that  we  find  his  glorious  name 
enshrined  in  the  sanctuary  of  our  soul,  and  it 
is  "  the  light  of  God"  illuminating  the  whole 
man;  with  it,  all  is  light ;  without  it,  all  is 
indiscernible,  invisible,  iiiterminab!e,dim,deep, 
doleful  darkness — — 

This  fact,  as  we  hope,  being  proved,  we 
come  to  the  conclusion,  to  which  wc  seriously 
invite  the  attention  of  our  kind  reader. 

Ill  searching  through  the  whole  range  of 
creation,  u'e  Jiiul  no  faculty  implanted  in  any 
animal  witliout  its  corresponding  object  with-

bountiful  hand  spreads  a  plentiful  table  to 
satisfy  their  demand.  Our  inclinations,  our 
,  44tey  all  fiad  their  objetta  vo  the  world 
without.  And,  therefore,  neither  man  nor 
brute,  in  either  the  higher  or  the  lower  facul- 
ties with  which  nature  has  endowed  them, 
are  deceived  by  the  creative  power  that  gave 
thera  existence.  And  should  man,  the  highest 
organized  being,  in  this,  his  most  distinguish- 
ing faculty,  in  the  crown  of  his  existence, — the 
possession  of  a  religious  laculty, — should  man 
there  -be  deceived  ?  Should  man  feel  impressed 
with  the  idea  of  a  God— should  the  living 
Eoul,  the  "Nephesh  lla-yah,"  feel  a  desire  for 
communion  with  that  Bjing.and  should  the  no- 
bler portion  of  our  race  feel  that  impression 
so  deeply,  as  even  to  be  ready  to  devote  their 
whole  existence — nay,  to  pour  out  their  souls 
unto  death  in  the  name  of  that  Being — without 
the  fact  of  such  an  existence  without?  Should 
man  be  deceived  ?  Can  he  be  deceived  in  the 
object  of  his  creation  ?  , 

Do2S  Nature,  then,  in  such  a  manner  treat 
her  children,  even  the  most  insignificant 
portion  of  them,  or  does  she  at  all  deceive 
them?     Why  thei  should  she  deceive  man? 

Should  he  "  who  teacheth  us  more  than  he 
doth  the  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  maketh  us 
">Tiser  than  the  fowls  of  heaven,"  (Job  xxv:7.) 
Should  he  have  endowed.,us  with  the  highest  of 
faculties.and  at  the  same  t  nu  deceive  us  in  the 
most  morae;itou3  of  our  interests  ?  Should.He 
have  made  us  less  than  tho  beasts  of  the  field 
should  Ho  have  placed  us  beneath  the^birds  of 
the  air.? 

Behold  here  a  number  of  birds  how  busily 
they  move,  wind,  wave  and  whirl  about — now 
ascending,  now  descending — now  proceeding, 
now  receding — the  old  leading  the  young,  the 
young  following  the  old.  What  means  all  this  ? 
What  arc  they  going  to  undertake  ?  Why  they 
are  birds  of  passage, birds  that  in  autumn  leave 
their  frosty  home,  their  native  land,  to  travel  to 
some  more  genial  clime,  to  some  warmer  coun- 
try. They  arc  now  teaching  their  young— 
you  bcli<jld  them  prepare  themselves  and  their 
progeny  for  the  long  journey  before  them. 

Behold  the  same  birds,  young  and  old,  now 
on  the  wing,  all  flying  in  the  same  direction,  all 
travelling,  withou'  map,  chart  or  compass,  to  a 
distant,  and  to  them  unknown  land,  that  they 
may  escape  the  drf^ftry  frosts  of  the  winter 
months  atdiome,  and  find  a  pleasant  abode 
abroad  ;  that  they  may  avoid  almost  certaia 
gtarvatioa  at  homo,  and  find  sustenance  in  pro- 
fusion in  a  distant  land. 

But,  let  us  ask,  who  has  taught  them.before 
tlie  arrival  of  the  winter — for  they  start  before 
lli«  season  coinincr.ces — that  to  insure  their 
sustenance  ond  existence,  they  mast  leave 
their  wonted  homes.  And  who  has  taught 
them  that  the  distant  land.to  them  as  yet  un- 
known it,  would  afford  the.Ti  that  shelter,  that 
sustenance  which  their  own  native  land  denied 
them?  AViio  has  endowed  them  with  a  spirit 
of  prophecy  ?  for  they  are  prophets.  Who 
taught  them  meteorology?  from  whom  have  thcj 
received  the  unerring  lessons  in  geography  ? 
for  they  never  miss.  What  else  is  it  but  the  in- 
ward voice  o/n«/tu-e  implanted  in  them  from 
the  beginning  ?  Thus  generation  after  genera- 
tion has,  year  after  ytar,  age  after  age  perform- 
ed the  same  route^Nature  never  ceased  to 
teach  them,  nor  ever  taught  them  wrong.  And 
if  she  is  so  true  to  this  inferior  creation— if 
she  never  deceived  the  bird  in  the  air — will'ghe 
deceive  the  higher,  the  immensely  more  per- 
fect organization,  man  ? 

L'lstly,  perhaps  the  skeptic  exclaimi,  trud 
th's  lesson  ia  inherent  in  man,  but  I  do  not 
trust  it  after  all ;  our  senses  sometimes  mislead 
us,  and   perhaps   they   do  so  in  this  instance. 


TOE   ELONE    MAMRB,   OR   ABRAHAM  3  TREE,   NEAR  HEBRON. 


To  this  we  reply,  that  if  wc  deny  credence  to 
the  universal  testimony  of  the  human  faculties 
in  the  instance  before  us  as  evidence  of  the 
existence  of  a  God,  how  can  we  at  all  trust  them 
in  any  other  instance  ?  Then  we  must  cease  to 
believe  anything  whatever  ;  for  since  tee  have  no 
way  of  proving  the  existence  of  any  thing  ex 
rept  hij  our  ovih  hij  h'lannn  fncultiex.  if  they 
could  have  deceived  us  in  this  deep,  universal 
impression,  how  can  we  trust  them  at  all  ? 

We  therefore  arrive  at  the  conclusion,  that  the 
universal  faculties  of  man  are  true — that  there 
is  a  God,  and  that  he  has  written  this  belief  in 
the  heart  of  our  race. 


EDUCATION.

Multiplicity  of  Studies  to  be  Avoided . 

There  is  a  feeling  quite  too  prevalent  in  the 
community,  that  a  multiplicity  of  studies  is 
really  essential  to  good  scholarship.  Hence 
many  branches  are  attended  to  superficially, 
no  branch  is  pursued  systematically  and 
thoroughly.  Parents  and  pupils  frequently 
imbibe  the  impression  that  a  long  list  of 
studies  will  produce  good  scholars  ;  and  there 
are  never  wanting  quacks  who  will  infest  your 
houses,  introducing  themselves  as  teachers  of 
all  sciences  and  languages,  on  improved  prin- 
ciples, who  will  try  to  make  parents  believe 
that,  if  a  boy  is  to  turn  out  an  excellent 
scholar,  you  need  but  send  him  to  their  school, 
where,  in  addition  to  the  usual  English 
branches,  he  will  learn  the  German,  French, 
Spanish  and  Hebrew  languages,  and  the  Latin> 
besides,  if  tlie  child  is  destined  for  a  profession. 
And  as  to  girls,  to  finish  their  education,  they 
will  tell  you,  you  have  nothing  to  do  but  to 
commit  them  to  their  care,  and  let  them  be 
confined,  promiscuously,  with  the  boys,  some 
seven  hours,  in  the  school-room,  daily,  and  be 
taught,  besidc^s  the  usual  branches  and  lan- 
guages just  mentioned,  (except  the  Latin.) 
Needle-work,  f]mbroidery,  Botany,  Chemistry, 
Phrenology,  Music,  Painting,  Patching,  Sing- 
ing, Dancing  and  Gymnastics  :  and  all  this  va- 
riety is  to  be  communicated  to  them  during  the 
tender  age  of  from  six  to  twelve.  You  arc 
thus  to  burden  their  tender  brains  with  this 
Babylonian  confusion  of  languages,  and  their 
backs  with  a  tfiwer  of  Babel  whicli  they,  iftory 
day,  have  to  carry  to  school  on  their  shoulders, 
in  the  shape  of  an  ambulating  library  ;  for 
such  a  number  of  studies  brings  daily  in 
rccpiisition  a  goodly  number  of  books.  Thus 
we,  some  time  ago,  met  a  boy  returning  from 
school  with  such  a  load  ;  it  was  a  Friday  even- 
ing, before  dusk.  We  at  first  thought  the 
child  was  changing  his  domicile,  but  finding  the 
time  such  an  unusual  one  for  moving,  we  could 
not  help  asking  the  boy,  on  his  approaching 
us  to  shake  hands,  whither  he  was  carrying 


his  load.  Upon  this  he,  in  chilellike  sim- 
plicity, replied  that  he  was  coming  from 
school.  And  as  to  the  quantity  of  books, 
"  AVhy,"  said  he,  •'  I  want  all  these  at  school, 

Mr. lcarn%    us  so  many   languages." 

Now  this  system  is  very  reprehensible,  and 
prejudicial  to  the  development  of  the  hnman 
mind  ;  it  is  an  error  than  which  a  more  stu- 
pendous one  cannot  be  conceived.  Our 
schools,  at  best,  can  furnish  but  a  foundation, 
upon  wh'eh  the  w'hotc  subsequent  life  must 
erect  a  superstructure.  It  is  vastly  more  im- 
portant that  this  foundation  bo  accurately, 
strongly  and  fitly  maeU^'than  that  it  contain  a 
great  variety  of  material. 

We  would  not  be  understood  as  undervalu- 
ing the  higher  branches,  but  merely  as  being 
opposed  to  substituting  them  for  the  elemen. 
tary  and  indispensable  ones.  We  would  not 
have  a  pupil  attend  to  geography  of  the  heav- 
ens until  he  knew  something  of  the  geography 
of  the  earth  ;  nor  would  we  allow  Chemistry, 
Astronomy,  Geometry.  Botany,  Geology,  and 
a  long  list  of  other  ologies,  to  take  the  place 
of  Heading,  Spelling,  Arithmetic,  and  other 
fundamental  studies.  Let  a  good  foundation 
be  well  and  thoroughly  laid,  and  then  the  pu- 
pil has  that  on  which  he  may  rear  a  super- 
structure of  any  desired  nature  and  extent. 
But,  how  often  is  it  that  pupils  are  allowed  to 
fritter  away  their  time  upon  some  of  the  more 
accomplished,  thonirh  less  useful  branches,  and 
that  too,  when  they  are  sadly  deficient  in  their 
elementary  training  !  How  many  Misses  spend 
their  time  on  music  and  embroidery,  French 
and  painting,  who  might,  with  more  propriety, 
spend  some  lime  over  the  spelling-book,  and  in 
learning  the  uses  of  the  needle  and  the  flat-iron, 
or  in  listening  to  the  music  of  the  piece  of  fur- 
niture which  is  used  in  sweeping  the  room. 

A  gentleman,  who  was  for  many  years  at 
the  head  of  a  popular  acaelemy,  says :  "  A 
young  lady  once  came  to  place  herself  under 
my /fare;  with  the  intention  of  becoming  a 
teacher.  Upon  examination,  I  found  her  ex- 
ceedingly ignorant  in  the  Jcommon  branches  of 
an  English  education  ;  but,  perceiving  from 
her  appearance,  that  she  had  a  course  of  study 
marked  out  in  her  own  mind,  I  asked  her  what 
branches  sfie  wished  to  pursue  while  under  my 
care.  Said  she,  I  wish  to  study  Chemistry, 
Philosophy,  Astronomy,  and  French, — paint 
a  mourning  piece,  read  Spanish,  conjecture  a 
map,  and  learn  bigotry.''  Thinking  the  last- 
named  sufficiently  abounded  without  culture, 
he  very  readily  conjectured  that  there  was 
some  mistake  in  the  nomenclature  ;  and,  upon 
further  examination,  he  was  induced  to  substi- 
tute botany  for  bigotry.  And  is  it  not  true, 
that,  in  many  schools,  there  are  scholars  who 
can  neither  pronounce  nor  spell  the  names  of 
the  branches  they  pursue  ?' 


The  truth  is  that  nearly  every  man  has  some 
favorite  stuily,  which  he  wishes  to  have  occupy 

nrnnitnent  place  on  thft  catalpcru'^  of  Bchoel 
studies  ;  and,  if  the  notions  and  whims  of  all 
should  bo  gratified,  it  would  require  no  incon- 
siderable effort  merely  to  remember  the  names 
of  tie  branches  to  be  pursued.  AVe  recently 
hoard  quite  a  discussion  on  the  propriety  of 
making  agriculture  a  distinct  subject  of  school 
instruction.  Now,  though  we  have  a  very  ex- 
alted opinion  of  farming,  we  can  see  no  good 
reason  why  it  should  be  singled  out  fioiu  the 
numerous  other  occupations  as  a  department 
of  common-school  study  ;  and,  should  such  be 
the  case,  we  should  soon  find  other  occupations 
clamorous  for  their  share  of  attention,  until  it 
would  be  necessary  to  construct  school-houses 
on  entirely  new  principles.  While,  outside,  a 
small  farm  would  be  needed,  we  should,  within, 
in  addition  to  the  usual  slndy-rooin,  want  one 
for  a  carpenter's  shop,  one  for  a  smithery,  an- 
other for  a  cooperage,  another  for  a  shoema- 
ker's, with  a  basement  for  a  cotton  factory, 
and  the  attic  for  a  tinman's  shop.  These,  in 
full  operation  at  one  and  the  same  time,  under 
the  superintendence  of  one  man,  would  render 
all  occasion  for  vocal  musi'C  unnecessary;  and 
if  tho  young  did  not  become  qualified  for  the 


pursuits  of  life,  they  would  certainly  become 
familiar  with  the  din  of  business. 

Our  common  schools,  constituted  as^they  ore, 
are  more  correct  in  the  limits  of  the  branches 
to  be  taught  in  them.  Reading,  spelling,  pen- 
manship, arithmetic,  geography  and  history, 
grammar.including  of  course  composition,  letter 
writing  and  single-entry  book-keeping,  prob- 
ably comprise  all  the  branches  that  can  be  ad- 
vantageously pursued  in  our  public  schools. 
These,  thoroughly  and  properly  taught,  will 
fit  the  young  for  assuming  a  respectable  stand 
in  life|;  but  the  acquisition  of  higher  branches, 
without  a  well-groundcJ  understanding  of 
these,  will  only  subject  one  to  constadt  occa- 
sions for  mortification.  What  matters  it,  if 
one  understands  Chemistry,  Geometry,  French, 
German,  Spanish  and  Latin,  with  many  other 
branches,  if  he  cannot  read  intelligibly,  spell 
correctly,  write  legibly,  or  pen  a  readable  let- 
ter. 

We  therefore  assume  that  the  branches 
taught  in  onr  public  schools,  under  the  siiper- 
inteiidence  of  competent  directors  and  efficient 
teachers,  are  in  every  respect  suffiuient  to  pre- 
pare our  youth  for  a  general  practical  calling. 
Wc  now  close  these  hints,  in  hojxis  of  their 
proving  eerviceable  to  a  number  of  our  rea- 
ders.

in  the  promotion  of  the  interests  of  Israel.

THE  FAMILY. 


______        our^Hoas: 

Closely  connected  with  til  the  sweet  and 
tender  associations  that  cluster  around  the 
fond  uaine  of  mother,  is  the  idea  of  home.  It 
is  next  in  the  heurt,  and  the  next  bright  link 
in  the  chain  of  memory.  It  is  the  place  where 
first  we  entered  the  scene  of  life,  where  our 
eyes  first  opened  to  the  pleasant  light  of  day, 
and  where  first  we  breathed  the  pure  air  of 
heaven.  There  is  the  nursery,  whose  walls  have 
\  reechoed  the  sounds  of  our  infant  glee,  and 
there  the  trees,  be  leath  whose  shade  we  have 
sported  through  childhod's  happy  ^hours. 
There  grow  the  flowers  which  first  unfolded 
their  brigtbly-tinted  petals  to  our  delighted 
view,  and  sent  forth  their  fragrance  for  us. 
There  flows  the  stream,  upon  whose  sunny 
waves  we  have  often  launched  a  tiny  bark,  and 
watched  its  progress,borne  onward  by  the  sum- 
mer brcfz'i.  When  our  long  days  of  sporting 
in  the  suu-shinc,  with  birds,  and  flowers,  aud 
ripijling  streams,  are  occupied  by  the  daily 
roulinc  of  the  school-room,  and  playthings  are 
exchanged  for  book  and  satchel,  and  rambles 
through  wood  and  dell  for  the  path  to  school, 
wittawirat  jtjy  ti<y^^t4ii'^v»  aaida  Q]Br  book  *cd 
turn  our  footsteps  homeward ! 

Years  pass  away,  and  we  leave  the  home  of 
childhood  for  the  halls  of  learning,  or  the  stir- 
ing  scenes  of  business  life.  Then  how  does  the 
thought  of  home  pass  through  the  student's 
mind  !  Kven  when  he  seeks  to  forget  it  in  stu- 
dy, it  will  steal  into  the  heart,and  unconscious- 
ly he  will  be  weaving  a  web  of  huppine.-8 
around  the  thought  of  home.  When  written 
messages  of  love  arrive  to  cheer  the  days  of 
absence,  most  eagerly  does  he  look  for  the 
missive  that  tells  of  the  welfare  of  the  loved 
ones  ol  home.  How  precious  in  his  sight  are 
the  articles  that  bear  the  impress  of  home! 
With  what  impatience  does  he  await  the  time 
when  he  may  return  for  a  season  to  his  home. 
He  would  even  add  speed  to  the  rapid  flight  o' 
time,  that  he  may  hasten  the  day  when  the 
light  of  home  shall  again  dawn  upon  him. 

Often,  when  weary  with  travelling  the  dusty 
road  of  life,  does  the  man  of  business  long  for 
the  (luietness  of  his  early  home.    Wealth  has 
been  with  him  the  object  of  pursuit,  and  it  may 
1)C  that  his  golden  dreams  have  been  realized. 
Hut  as  he  lays  his  head  upon  his  downy  pil- 
low, weary  with  toil  in  search  of  gain,  and  har- 
rnFScd  with  cares  attendant  upon  the  possess, 
ion  of  riches,  gladly  would  he  exchange  it  for 
that  couch,  though  humbler,  on  which  he  was 
went  to  rest  his  head  in  the  calm  sweet  sleep 
of  childhood,  within  the  walls  of  home.    The 
road  to  fame  may  have  been  the  chosen  path 
of  another,  and  ambition   his  ruling  passion, 
and  he  has  rcacheil  the  temple  of  his  adoration, 
and  breathes  the  incense  offered  upon  its  altar. 
And  now  that  he  has  sacrificed  all  upon  that 
altar,  he  sees  the  folly   of  his  blind  worship. 
He  "  feels  the  mockery  of  the  shrine  at  which 
his  spirit  knelt."     The  laurel  wreath  pierces 
his  brow  like  a  crown  of  thorns,  and  willingly, 
yes,  joyfully  would  he  tear  it  away  and  fiing 
aside  the  empty  honors  it  confers,  could  he  go 
back  to  his  early  years,  and  f\t  in  the  happy 
circle,  amid  the  holy  influences  of  home.    An- 
other seeks  happiness  by  wandering  in  forcigu 
lands.     He  may  visit  countries  celebrated  in 
poetry  and  song.    He  nnvy  stand  on  places 
where  stood  before  him  the  renowned  of  an- 
cient and  modern  days  ;  the  warriors,  the  ora- 
tors, the  poets,  the  statesmen.    He  may  wan- 
dor  among  the  tombs  of  kings  and  emperors 
famed   in   history's   pages.    He  may    travel 
among  the  classic  ruins  of  Greece,  or  tread  the 
awe-inspiring  ground    of  the  laud  of  Promise, 


and  beneath  the  mellow  skies  of  Italy,  view 
the  magaificencc  of  the  Imperial  city.  But  the 
pictarc -ef  home  drawn  by  memoiy's  iaithful 
pencil  will  seem  more  beautiful  to  him,  than 
the  proudest  monuments  of  artistical  genius 
that  Greece  or  Rome  can  boast.  And  unlike 
all  other  things  so  fair,  it  grows  not  dim  by 
age,  bnt  brightens  as  years  roll  on,  and  seems 
fairer  even  than  in  youth.  Wherever  we  wan- 
der no  dwelling  seems  to  attract  us  like  that 
we  called  our  home.  No  flowe:  s  are  so  fair  as 
those  that  bloomed  around  our  home,  and  no 
streams  that  ma-t  the  eye  are  so  bright  as 
those  on  whose  banks  we  p'ayed  in  childhood, 
and  no  birds  sing  so  sweetly  as  those  to  whose 
notes  we  listened  beneath  the  trees  that  wave 
over  our  home.  Yes,  truly, "  be  it  ever  se 
humble  there's  no  place"  like  home."

DOMESTIC  MEDICINES. 

Catarrh  or  Cold. 

Colds  are  so  common  in  all  countries,  and 
their  modes  of  treatmetit  so  generally  inoim, 
that  much  need  not  be  said  respecting  them  ; 
further  than   to  remark,  that   early  attention 


If  the  head  is  much  stopped  up  with  the 
cold,  uae  the  head-bath  recommended  below ; 
j»r  sitting  in  bed  and  covering  the  Jiead  with 
flannel  or  a  blanket,  produce  a  steam  by  pla- 
cing a  hot  rock  or  brick  in  a  crock  or  basin,  or 
lest  these  should  crack,  use  a  small  wooden 
vessel,  and  gradually  dripping  water  on  it,  at 
the  same  time  holding  the  vessel  in  your  lap, 
and  closing  all  avenues  by  which  the  steam 
might  escape  from  about  the  head,  excepting 
the  one  through  which  the  breath  passes. 

Simple  as  this  is,  relief  will  ensue  almost  im- 
mediately. If  fever  should  tTlse,  7nedical  aid 
must  be  sought. 

DiKT.— The  diet  in  all  cases  of  cold  should 
be  light  and  cooling.  Heating  or  stimulating 
articles,  either  of  drink  or  diet,  are  highly  im- 
proper, and  always  produce  more  or  less  fe-

end,  prove  highly  dangerous,  and  very  difficult 
to  be  removed.  " 

Persons  of  delicate  constitutions  are  most 
subject  to  colds  :  and  from* the  carelessness  of 
such  persons  in  neglecting  to  avoid  exposure 
and  to  remove  the  early  symptoms  of  disease, 
more  than  two-thirds  of  the  whole  number  of 
consumptive  cases,  in  all  countries,  arise  and  be- 
come fatal. 

Symi'TOMS. — A  dull  heaviness  of  the  head, 
with  a  stoppage  of  the  nostrils,  and  at  times 
much  Buoczing,  which  is  always  followed  by' 
discharges  of  a  thin  heavy  mucous  from  the 
nostrils.  Soreness  of  the  throat,  cough,  and 
chills  are  felt  over  the  person,  with  occa- 
sional hot  flushes,  and  persons  of  weakly 
constitutions  experience  a  tightness  and  pain 
of  the  chest. 

Sometimes  the  symptoms  ftre  highly  inflam- 
matory or  feverish  ;  this  is  nearly  always  the 
case  with  irritable  constitutions,  in  which  evdOt, 
the  complaint  must  be  arretted  immediately. 

There  have  been  too  many  who,  self-reliant 
on  the  strength  of  their  constitutions,  have 
treated  a  cold  with  a  slight,  ard  by  not  paying 
a  due  and  proper  regard  thereto  have  become 
marytrs  to  their  own  temerity,  by  sinking  down 
suddenly  in  the  grave,  or  become  an  invalid  for 
the  remainder  of  their  lives. 

Pbevk.ntion.— It  is  all  important  to  health, 
that  the  body  should  not  be  unnecesssarily  ex- 
posed to  the  night  air,  or  be  subjected  to  damp 

ness. 

Changing  warm  clothing  in  undue  seasons 
for  thin,  while  the  body  is  warm  or  heated  from 
exercise  at  balls,  the  hotbeds  of  physical  and 
moral  disease  and  corruption,  or  dances  in 
crowded  halls  must  subject  the  body  ta  a  vio- 
lent change,  and  which  too  certainly  induces  a 

cold. 

Suddenly  exposing  the  body  to  a  current  of 
air  while,  under  the  foregoing  influences,  or 
any  other  imprudent  course  effect  the  same  re- 
sult, and  lay  the  foundation  for  a  disease  that 
may  terminate  life. 

Remkdies.— Immediately  before  retiring  to 
rest,  bathe  the  lower  limbs  and  feet  in  warm 
■water  for  fifteen  or  twenty  minutes,  then  wipe 
and  rub  them  perfectly  dry,  and  wrap  them 
carefully  in  warm  dry  flannels.  After  lying 
down,  take  a  large  driuk  of  warm  sage,  balm, 
or  hysop  tea,  or  any  other  warm  drink  that 
will  produce  a  moderate  perspiration  or 
sweat.

flaxseed 

in  it. 
The  French  have  an  excellent  remedy  for 

curing  colds,  and  which  has  been  frequently 
used  by  medical  practitioners,  with  much  suc- 
cess and  relief  to  the  sufferer.  They  apply  a 
poultace  of  boiled  miions  to  the  sole  of  each 
foot  on  going  to  bed,  after  having  first  bathed 


tho  throat  is  sore,  they  apply  a  boiled  onion 
poultice  to  it. 

This  application  is  valuable,  and  may  be 
much  relied  on. 

If  the  chest  is  much  oppressed,  the  applica- 
tion of  this  poultice  to  it  will  almost  invariably 
give  relief. 

Another  Rjimkdy. — The  following  remedy, 
which  is  an  excellent  and  efficacious  one,  has 
frequently  afforded  relief  io  cases  where  colds 
had  been  of  a  serious  character. 

Take  one  half  ounee  oi flaxseed,  b&lf  an  ounce 
ot  liquorice,  axiA  a  quarter  of  a  pound  of  rai- 
sens ;  put  them  together  into  two  quarts  of 
water,  (rain  water  if  to  be  had,)  and  simmer 
the  whole  over  a  slow  fire,  uut  1  the  quantity 
is  reduced  to  one  quart.  Then  prepare  some 
candy  made  from  brown  sugar  and  dissolve  it 
in  the  liquor  boiltd  down  as  above  ;  half  of 
this  is  to  be  taken  every  night  on  retiring  to 
bed,  mixed  with  a  little  good  vinegar  to  give 
it  a  slight  acid  taste. 

This  preparation  will  certainly  care  a  cold, 
if  used  for  a  few  days. 

Conversions  to  Judaism. 

That  instances  of  conversions  from  Chris- 
tianity to  Judaism  shoul  1  be  rare  during  the 
gloomy  atmosphere  of  the  dark  middle  ages> 
and  under  the  heavy  persecution  to  which  it  sub- 
jected us,  need  not  be  wondered  at.  However, 
they  were,  even  then,  very  frequent  in  Spain,  and 
are  not  rare  occurrences  in  our  days.  During 
1849,  (the  year  of  our  emancipation  in  Prus- 
sia) we  had  in  the  city  of  Berlin,  alone,  forty  or 
forty-eight  cases  of  a  return  to  Judaism  of  par- 
ties, who  had  changed  their  profession  for  oflS- 
ces'  sake  ;  since,  before  that  time,  no  Jew  was 
admitted  to  office  in  that  State  ;  and  since  that 
time,  conversions  have  occurred  in  Europe  and 
in  the  United  States— as  in  Cleveland,  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Charleston,  Mobile,  New 
Orleans  and  San  Francisco.  And  we  learn 
from  the  Cologne  Gazette  that,  lately,  in  sev- 
eral places  in  Prussia,  Christians,  intending  to 
abandon  the  Christian  religion,  declared  their 
intention  before  the  civil  courts.  Upon  which 
they  were  informed  by  the  Judge  that  this 
declaration  was  not  sufficient,  as  the  law  re- 
quires, not  only  the  declaration  of  leaving  one 
denomination,  but  also  the  name  of  that  which 
the  person  intended  to  join.  The  parties  then 
openly  declared  their  readiness  of  becoming 
Jews,  which  satisfied  the  court. 


NEWS. 


We  are  chiefly  indebted  to  the  foUowing 
items  to  the  Israelite. 

MELrtrts,  Tknh.— The  Hebrews  of  that  city 
are  about  raising  a  synagogue.  They  are  in  a 
flourishing  condition. 

Rkv.  Db.  Illoway. — We  learn  that  the  val- 
uable services  of  this  gentleman  have  been  se- 
cured by  the  Hebrew  congregation  of  Syra- 
cuse. 

Foreign  News. 

Spain. — The  hopes  which,  some  two  years 
ago  were  entertained  of  the  Jews'  being  alio  w- 
ed  to  return  to  Spain,  do  not  appear  to  be- 
come realized  ;  since  we  learn  that  the  power 
of  the  church  is  in  the  ascendency,  and  reac- 
tionary measures  proceed  to  such  an  extent 
that  the  Russian  Ambassador  is  said  to  have 
openly  declared  that  it  could  not  last. 

Russia — A  better  day  seema  to  dawn  upon 
that  country  ;  the  Emperor  seems  seriously 
disposed  to  introduce  reforms.  The  superior- 
ity of  the  Allies  in  the  last  war  being  acknowl- 
edged, the  Minister  of  Public  Instruction  of 
late  presented  to  His  Majesty  the  necessity  of 
a  radical  improvement  in  the  system  of  ed- 
ucation. 

That  official  in  his  report  alludes  to  the  prog- 
ress made  in  the  Jewish  schools  and  academies 
and  hopes  that  the  late  favors  extended  to  them 
will  prove  a  stimulant  to  their  knowii  en- 
ergies. 

Hungary — An  Odd  Custom. — According 
to  an  ancient  custom  the  Jews  of  Hungary 
presented  the  Emperor  with  a  pair  of  very  fat 
geese.    The  deputation  sent  to  Vienna  to  pre. 

sent  this  gift,  were  ndmitted  to  an  audience 
and  graeiously  received  by  the  Emperor,  Fran- 
cis Joseph. 

List  of  Raobis  In  the  United  States. 
We  give  the  following  list  of  duly  authorized 
Rabbis  in  the  U.  S.,  which  we  have  every  rea. 
son  to  believe  to  be  complete.  Should  we  how- 
ever have  omitted  one  or  two  names,  we  wil- 
lingly will'  correct  the  mistake  in  a  later 
number.

Drink. — ^Tbe  best  drink  between  meals  is 
pure  water. 

If  we  use  drinks  with  meals,  a  small  quantity 
of  milk,  molas.es,  or  sugEr,  may  be  mixed 
with  them,  with  more  safety  than  at  other 
times. 

Many  people  live  at  the  expense  of  life. 

Too  little  food,  drink,  sleep,  clothing,  and 
exercise,  are  injurious,  as  well  as  too  much. 

Most  persons  who  call  themselves  healthy' 
are  laboring  under  incipient  diseases  produced 
by  wioog  habits. 

Most  persons  would  be  benefitted  by  going 
without  supper  once  or  twice  a  week. 

Fruits  when  eaten,  should  make  part  of  a 

meal.

Aiad  when

Anawni...  ihflnaw  him  that  he  waa  a^oodgr 
cL' -1  she  hid  him  three  months,  and  when  she 
r-ouli  do  longer  hide  him.  she  took  for  him  a  bas- 
ket oi  balrushes  and  daubed  it  with  slime  and 
with  pitch;  and  she  put  the  child  therein  and  laid 
it  amongst  the  flags  by  the  brinic  of  the  river. 

ExoD.2:2,3. 

"  My  child,  I  can  no  longer  hide  tlice: 
So  to  ray  God  alone  confide  thee." 
Thus  spalic  a  mother,  brokenshearlcd, 
As  from  her  darling  child  she  parted. 
Once  more  with  tenderness  embracing, 
And  in  an  ark  the  infant  placing. 
She  to  the  river's  side  conveyed  it. 
And  'moBg  t'he  flags  in  secret  laid  it. 
The  princess  near  her  coarse  is  bending, 
A  train  of  maids  her  steps  attending. 
She  cries,  "What  is  it  lying  yonder?" 
Then  view*  the  curious  ark  with  wonder. 
Within  it  lies  a  little  creature, 
Of  fairest  form  and  lovely  feature:— 
Behold,  the  Ilebrew  babe  Is  weeping. 
It  needs  a  mother's  tender  keeping. 
With  pity  moved,  great  Pharaoh's  daughter 
Resolves  to  save  the  child  from  slaughter; 
To  her  kind  heart  its  tears  endear  it, 
And  now  she  seeks  a  nurse  to  rear  it. 
A  little  maid  has  watch 'd  her  brother; 
-StieTumand^teU^tbabaJiy'smQaicr!  _. 
Whom  for  its  nurse  the  princess  chooses, 
Nor  she  the  office  sweet  refuses. 
O!  who  can  tell  the  mother's  pleasure, 
Again  to  find  her  infant  treasure! 
Again  beneath  her  roof  behold  it. 
Again  within  her  arms  enfold  itl 


THE    infant's  MOnWlKG     PRAYER. 

"  God  that  to  our  eyes  hath  given 

Light  once  more, 
Which  o'er  glowing  earth  and  heaven. 

Beauty  doth  pour; 
May  Thy  spirit  still  watch  o'er  ns. 
No  dreadful  sins  allure  us, 

Through  the  d|y:^^^^^ 
And  when  lire  s  last  day 
May  we  calmlvj|?J»WrgTit  and  won, 

Pses  away. 

TllK    infant's  EVENlS'fi    PRAYER. 

Lord,  I  have'passed  another  day, 
•  And  come  to  thank  thee  for  thy  care; 
Forgive  my  faults  in  work  or  play. 

And  listen  to  my  evening  prayer. 
Thy  favor  gives  me  daily  bread, 

And  friends  who  all  my  wants  supply; 
And  safely  now  I  rest  my  head, 

Preserved  and  guarded  by  Thine  eye. 


Nor  will  she  lose  this  precious  season 
To  teach  him  many  a  holy  lesson; 
But  use  her  every  fond  endeavor 


God  is  so  good  that  Ue  will  hear 
Whenever  children  humbly  pray; 

He  always  bends  a  gracious  ear. 
To  w4iat  the  youngest  child  can  say. 


The  Locust. 

You  will  rccoUcct.my'dear  childreu.that  afcw 
wf c'kj  ago,  when  1  told  you  about  the  plagues 
of  Kgypt,  and  mentioned  the  eighth— the  lo- 
custs—a '^ood  number  of  you  did  not  know 
wlnt  locuata  are.  1  got  the  book  and  showed 
you  iho  picture  of  one;  but  1  could  not  then 
tell  you  nnich  about  them,— I  had  so  many 
other 'things  to  teach  you.  But  now,  as  I  have 
a  paper  in  which  I  can  speak  to  so  many  chil- 
dren at  once,  I  will  let  you  know  as  much 
ab.iut  them  as  a  child  need  know. 

The  locust  is  called  an  insect,  as  well  as  the 
ant  aod  the  bee,  but  instead  of  being  harmless, 
as  Ihcy  Msualiy  are,  it  does  a  great  deal  of  in- 
jury. It  i.^  also  much  larger  than  tbcy  ;  for  it 
is  generally  three  inches  long,  and  semetimes 
as  much  as  four  ov  five.  The  plague  of  the  lo- 
custs was  the  eighth  which  tied  sent  upon  the 
I'loryplians,  because  they  would  not  let  the 
children  of  Israel  go,  as  he  commanded  ;  and 
it  wai  a  very  terrible  one  indeed.  The  Bible 
says,  "  I'hey  covered  the  face  of  the  whole 
earth,  so  that  the  land  wui  darkened  ;  and  they 
did  cat  evi.ry  herb  of  the  land,  and  all  the  fruit 
of  the  trees  which  ihe  hail  had  left ;  and  there 
remuiued  not  any  green  thing  on   the  trcc-s  or 


in  the,berbs  of  the  field  through  all  the  land  of 
Ivypt."    This  is  the  way  they   often  do  in 

moa  for  so  many  to  come  at  once. 

They  fly  in  companits  of  thousands  together, 
and  so  close  that  they  look  like  a  great  black 
cloud.  When  they  aliglit  on  the  ground  they 
nil  come  down  in  a  body,  and  immediately  be- 
gin to  devour  the  grass  and  grain  ;  they  also 
eat  the  leaves  of  the  trees,  and  every  green  thing 
they  can  find.  The  people  dread  them  more 
than  they  do  the  most  terrible  fire  or  storm  ; 
because,  though  they  are  so  small,  they  destroy 
all  the  food,  and  leave  the  people  ready  to 
starve.  When  the  inhabitants  see  them  com- 
ing over  their  fields,  they  try  to  drive  them 
away  by  making  loud  noises  or  by  kindling 
fires  ;  but  this  does  littlq  good. 

It  is  sail  that  a  great  army  of  locusts  came 
over  the  northern  part  of  Africa  about  uine- 
teeu  hundred  years  ago.  They  consumed  ev- 
ery blade  of  grass  wherever  they  alighted  ;  also 
the  roots,  and  burk,  and  even  the  hard  wood 
of  the  trees.  After  they  had  thus  eaten  up 
every  thing,  a  strong  wind  arose,  and  after 
tossing  them  about  awhile,  it  blew  th.»m  over 
the  sea,  and  great  numbers  of  them  were 
drowned..  Then  the  waves  threw  them  back 
upon  the  land,  all  along  the  sea-coast,  and  their 
dead  bodies  made  the  air  so  unwholesome  that 
a  frighlhU  pestilence  commenced,  and  great 
numbers  of  m.'n  and  animals  died. 

Many  travellers  have  seen  these  great  clouds 
of  locusts,  and  describe  them  in  their  books. 
One  says  he  saw  a  company  consisting  of  so 
many  that  they  were  an  hour  in  passing  over 
the  place  where  he  was.  They  seemed  to  ex- 
tend a  mile  in  length  and  half  a  mile  in  width. 
When  he  first  noticed  them,  they  looked  like  a 
black  cloud  rising  in  the  east ;  and  when  they 
came  overhead,  they  shut  out  the  light  of  the 
sun,  and  made  a  noise  with  their  wings  like  the 
rushing  of  a  water-fall.    Another  swarm  is  meu- 


To  make  him  serve  the  Lord  for  ev6r. 
Seon  in  a  palace  gay  residing. 
And  in  ^  heathen  court  abiding, 
And  every  earthly  good  possessing, 
He  chiefly  craves  a  heavenly  blessing. 
"  In  vain  for  me  are  tables  spread 

With  costly  meats  and  wine; 
In  vain  upon  a  silken  bed 

At  noon  day  I  recline;— 
"  In  vain  on  prancing  coursers  mount, 

In  warlike  chariots  ride/ 
Treasures  of  gold  and  silver  cotmt. 

In  palaces  abide;— 
"  In  vain  am  I  for  learning  famed. 

For  courage  and  for  strength ; 
And,  son  of  Pharaoh's  daughter  named 

May  wear  a  crown  at  length ; 
"  In  slavery  my  brethren  groan, 

And  cat  their  bread  with  tears; 
Bepeath  a  cruel  master's  frown 

They  spend  their  bitter  years. 
"  Yet  God  our  father  Abraham  bless'd, 

And  promised  to  bestow 
Upon  his  seed  a  land  of  rest 

Where  milk  and  honey  flow. 
"0!  willingly  would  I  forsake 

This  court  and  palace  fair, 
The  Rlorious  work  to  undertake 

Of  leading  Israel  there. 
"  0  happy  day !  when  «ve  should  see 

The  hills  our  fathers  trod. 
And,  as  one  numerous  family, 

Worship  our  fathers'  God!"    ■

THE  child's   morning    PRATER. 

Good  God !  I  thank  thee  that  thou   hast 

taken  care  of  me  during  the  past  night,  and 

that  I  am  alive  and  well  this  morning.     Keep 

me  from  evil  all   this  day,  and   help  me   to 

love  and  serve  thee  all  the  days  of  iny  life.—

THE    child's   evening    PRAYER. 

Good  God !  thou  knowest  all  things  and 
seest  me  by  night  as  well  as  by  day.  Forgive 
me  every  thing  that  I  have  done  amiss  this 
day,  and  keep  me  safe  all  night.  Bless,  I 
pray  thee  ( my )  father,  mother,  brothers,  sis- 
ters, and  friends  ;  do  good  to  them  at  all  times 
and  in  all  places,  and  help  us  always  to  serve 
Thee  in  love.  And  when  I  have  done  Thy  will 
here,  may  I,  by  Thy  Grace,  be  fully  prepared 
for  the  world  to  come.     Amen. 


tioned  which  took  tour  hours  to  pass  one  spot; 
and  they  made  the  sky  so  dark  that  one  per- 
son could  not  sec  another  at  twenty  stops  ofiT. 

You  can  now  understand  two  or  throe  pas- 
sages from  tue  Bible  which  I  will  mention. 
David  says  in  the  23d  verse  of  the  109ih  Psalm, 
"  I  am  tossed  up  and  down  as  the  locust ;"  that 
is,  as  the  clouds  of  locusts  are  tossed  about  by 
the  wind.  In  the  first  chapter  of  Joel  God 
threatens  to  send  the  locust  among  the  people, 
because  of  their  wickedness  ;  and  he  says  of 
them,  Before  their  faces  the  people  shall  be 
much  pained  ;  all  faces  shall  gather  blackness 
they  (the  locusts,)  shall  run  like  mighty  men  ; 
they  shall  climb  the  wall  like  men  of  war  ; 
they  shall  run  to  and  fro  in  the  city ;  they 
Bhall  run  upon  the  wall ;  they  shall  climb  up 
upon  the  houses  ;  they  shall  enter  in  at  the 
wimlows  like  a  thief."  An  English  clergyman 
who  visited  countries  where  locusts  arc  found, 
a  few  years  ago,  says  that  these  verses  de- 
scribe them  exactly  as  he  has  himself  seen 
them. 

Locusts  are  sometimes  used  for  food.  The 
Arabs  boil  them  with  salt,  and  then  add  a  lit- 
tle oil  or  butter  ;  sometimes  they   toast  them 


by  the  fire  before  eating  thero.  A  traTclJcr 
speaks  of  seeing  Arab  wofnen  employed  in  fil 
ling  bags  with  locusts,  wlii^  were  to  be^Tued 
for  food.  ^ 

You  roust  not  think  this  so  strange— some 
men  eat  worse  things.  These  insects  live  on 
n!ce  clean  food.  But,  after  all,  the  Bible  saya 
the  children  of  Israel  must  not  cat  all  species 
of  them ;  but  soipe  evin  we  may  cat.

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


PIIILOlDCTr 


The  patronage  which  the  Gleaner  already  re- 
ceives from  the  more  educated  portion  of  oar 
community,  both  Jewish  and  Chrictiun,  ren- 
ders it  (lisirable  to  introduce  matter  calculattd 
to  interest  and  p  ove  useful  to  that  portion  of 
rfnr  reader?,  while,  as  a  family  paper,  we  must 
not  lo8^  sight  of  more  humble  cupucitics.  We 
therefore  shall  o 'caHionally  introduce  some 
matter  und^  r  the  above  heading,  wh'ch,  we  hope, 
will  be  read  by  the  learned  with  interest,  by 
the  humi)le  with  advantage,  aud  even  by  the 
children- as  we  know  it  is,  from  txpericnce  in 
oral  instruction,  with  pleasure.  The  human 
mind  is  so  conpt  tuted,  that  whatever  informa- 
tion it  receives,  will  always  the  easier  be  laid 
hold  of,  if  that  matter  be  connected  with  what 
we  already  know.  And  having  had  occasion 
to  l)ring  before  our  readers  some  biblical  terms 
not  ill  current  use,  we  will  take  them  op  pro- 
miscuously, and  by  them  show  a  specimen  of 
comparative  lexicography.  We  will  show,  in 
a  few  instances,  what  aDlnity  tlu  re  exists  be- 
tween  the  ancient  and  modern  languages.

^"ducation. 


Dancing 

Dancing  is  an  amu.sement  which  has  been 
discouraged  in  our  country  by  many  of  the 
best  people,  and  not  without  reason.  Dancing 
is  associated  in  their  mind  with  balls  ;  and 
this  is  one  of  lite  worst  forms  of  social  pleasure. 
The  time  consumed  in  preparation  for  a  bull, 
the  waste  of  thought  upon  it,  the  extravagance 
of  dress,  the  late  hours,  the  exhaustion  of 
strength,  the  exposure  of  health,  and  the  lan- 
guor of  the  succeeding  day, — these  and  other 
evils,  connected  with  this  amusement,  are 
strong  leasons  for  banishing  it  from  the 
community. 

But  dancing  ought  not,  therefore,  to  be  pro- 
scribed. On  the  country,  balls  should  be  dit- 
couraged  for  this  among  other  reasons,  that 
dancing,  instead  of  being  a  rare  pleasure,  re- 
(piiring  elaborate  preparation,  may  become  an 
evcry-day  aniu.'?emeut,  and  may  mix  with  our 
common  intercourse. 

This  exercise  is  among  the  most  healthful. 
The  body  as  well  as  the  mind  feels  its  gladden- 
ing inlluence.  No  atnu-ement  stems  more  to 
have  a  fcundaMon  in  our  nature.  The  anima 
tion  of  youth  naturally  overflows  in  harmoni- 
ous movements.  The  true  idea  of  dancing 
entitles  it  to  favor.  Its  end  is,  to  realize  per- 
fect grace  in  motion  ;  and  who  does  not  know 
that  a  sense  of  the  graceful  is  one  of  the  higher 

faculties  of  our  nature? 

It  is  to  be  desired  that  dancing  should-  be- 
come too  common  among  us  to  bo  made  the 
object  of  special  jjreparation,  as  for  the  ball ; 
that  members  of  the  same  fami'y,  when  confined 
by  unfavorable  weather,  should  recur  to  it  for 
cxercisj  and  exhilaration ;  that  branches  of 
the  same  fi>niily  should  enliven  in  this  way 
their  occasional  meetings  ;  that  it  should  fill 
up  an  hour  in  all  the  assemblages  for  relaxa- 
tion, in  which  the  young  form  a  part. 

It  is  to  be  t'ciiired  that  this  accomplishment 
should  be  extended  to  the  laboring  classes  of 
society,  not  only  as  an  innocent  pleasure,  but 
as  a  means  of  improving  the  manners.  Why 
shall  not  gracefulness  be  spread  through  the 
whole  community  ?  From  the  French  nation 
we  learn  that  a  degree  of  grace  and  rcGuemcnt 
may  pCrvade  all  classes. 


The  philanthropist  must  desire  to  break 
down  the  partition  walls  between  human  be- 
ings in  different  cocditions  ;  and  one  means  of 
doing  th's  Ss,  to  remove  conscious  awkward- 
ness, which  confinement  to  laborious  occupa- 
tions is  apt  to  induce.  An  accomplishment, 
giving  free  and  graceful  movement,  though  a 
far  weaker  bond  than  intellectual  or  moral 
culture,still  does  somethirg  to  biing  those  who 
partake  it,  near  each  other.— -Dr.  Chaming. 

Popular  Education  in  Germany. 

The  New  York  Courier  and  Enquirer,  in  an 
article  on  the  political  affinities  and  compara- 
tive intelligence  of  our  foreign-born  popula- 
tion, Btatts  certain  facts  concerning  the  Ger- 
man portion,  which  have  been,  to  a  singula; 
extent,  overlooked   in    this  country.    Every 
German  and  Swiss    government,   instead  of 
merely  providing  for  every  child,  as  docs  our 
own  boasted  system,  an  opportunity  of  educa- 
tion, to  be  used  or  neglected  at  pleasure,  rigor- 
ously compels  its  subjects,  of  every  condition, 
to  secure  the  instruction  of  their  children  in 
some  manner,  in   at  least   reading,   writing, 
arithmetic,  Bible  history,  and   the  history  of 
tlietr  own  cbuntry.    This  system  has  cxistrd 
for  more  than  thirty  years  ;  and  so  long  ago  as 
1813,  of  the  2,992,124  children  in   Prussia, 
between  seven  and    fourteen    years  of  age, 
2,238,140  were  attending  the  public  schoo's, 
while  great  numbers  more  were,  of  course,  un- 
der private  instruction.    Iif  twenty  years  from 
the  commencement  of  the  system,  of  all  the 
children  born  under   it,  there  remained  by  the 
census  only  two  per  cent.,  who  could  not  read, 
write  and  cypher.     Bavari^  is  stated  not  to 
be  behind  Prussia  in  this  respect,  and  Baden 
has  far  outdone  that  kingdom.     In   Saxony, 
the  Echoo's  have  been,  since  1848,  as  free  as 
our  own.     Among  the  results  of  this  state  of 
things,  may  be  mentioned  the  fact  well-known 
to  all  conversant  with  our  German  popiriation, 
that  very  few  of  them,  nnder  forty  and   fifty 
years  of  age,  are  unable  to  rt ad,  write  and 
cypher.      Indeed,   the  foreign-born    Germans 
are  far   better  educated   than  the  native  citi- 
zens speaking  their  language. 


Dancing.— Opinion  of  the  Editor. 

We  lay  the  opinion  of  so  eminent  a  man  as 
Dr.  Charuiing  before  the  public  on  account  of 
its  correctness  in  the  main.  The  graceful 
bearing  of  the  body,  and  grace  of  motion,  are 
indeed  worthy  of  eon>ideration  and  study. 

But,   while  we   commend    the  accomplish- 
ment, a  Fcnse  of  duly  compels  us   to  protest 
against  the  mode  in  which,  in  our  days,  it   is 
acquired.     Dancing,  instead  of   being  taught 
as  the  other  accomplisliments  are,  in  a  practi- 
cal manneprnow  partakes  considerably  of  the 
character  of   a  ball ;   our    children    prepare 
themselves  for  their  dancing  lessons  ;  it  thus 
pre-occnpiea  their  minds  at  a  time  when  they 
ought  to  think  of  their  studies.     Again,  they 
prepare  themselves  aud  dress   in   almost  the 
same  style  as  they  would  for  a  public  enter- 
tjiinment ;  we  thus  cultivate  in  theiti  a  spirit 
of  vanity,  a  disire  for  di.-;play  — and  frequently, 
even,  of  indecent  display.     But  what  is  most 
objectionable  is    that,  in  this   exercise,   the 
sexes  receive  their  lessons  promiscuously,  by 
which  abuse  we,  at  too  early  a  period  of  their 
lives,    unnaturally   rous.*    pas.-ions,  which,  in 
numbers  of  instances,  kindle  into   a  fire  con- 
suming both  bo  ly  and  soul.    Physiologists  are 
fully  aware  of  the   fact  of   this   statement ; 
though  parents,  in  general,  do  not  appear  to 
know  what  mischief  the  prvsent  mode  of  teach- 
ing dancing  does  to  their  innocent  children  ; 
they  seem  to  ignore  the  poison    it  infuses,  the 
fire  it  kindles,  and  the  troubles,  nay,  perhaps. 


the  shame,  it  prepftrcB  for  their  future  lives 
AruishaTrpTiyiicaT  grace "Belicqu^^^ 
expense  of  spiritual   grace  ?    Shall  a  graceful 
motion  of  body  be   preferred  to  the  grace  of 
the  soul  ? 

In  view  of  this,  we  indeed  commend  parents 
to  allow  their  children  to  learn  dancing  ;  nay, 
we  would  recommend  its  introduction  into  our 
public  schools.  By  doing  so,  we  would  avoid 
many  evils,  and  achieve  much  good.  We 
would  curtail  the  t(^o  great  length  of  sed- 
entary hours  now  occupied  in  our  schoolp. 
And  instead  of  the  savage,  unearthly  yells,  the 
gross  and  disgusting  behavior,  that  offend  us 
in  passing  the  school-houses  during  recesses, 
we  could  relieve  our  children  of  long  sit- 
tings, aud  our  eyes  would  be  gratified  with 
symmetry  and  grace.  Instead  of  the  pomp  and 
evils  attending  the  promiscuous  assembly  of 
the  present  dancing-room,  we  would  have 
our  children  taught  dancing  in  their  plain, 
every-day  dresses,  aud  in  separate  classes,  as 
gymnastics  are  taught  now  ;  and  we  see  no 
reason  why  boys  and  girls  may  not  as  well  be 
taught  dancing  in  separate  schools  as  they  are 
gymnastics. 

T4m  pr»^4»eal  to-  iutcdducc  daDcing  inla 
our  public  school  system,  instead  of  the  long 
recesses,  will  not  appear .  strange,  when  we 
consider  its  benefit ;  aiid,  indeed,  it  is  rot  quite 
80  strange  as  the  idea  of  introducing  the  drill, 
as  is  done  in  the  Prussian  schouls.  There  the 
boys,  as  an  exercise,  have-  to  go  through  mili- 
tary motions  and  evolutions.  The  practice 
of  dancing,  under  the  direction  of  our  Public 
School  teachers  would  beconic  anothtr  means 
of  improving  the  moral  condition  of  the 
people. 

Talmudical. 

Gabiah  ben  Pasi<a,  an  em'uent  lawyer 
among  the  Jews  in  the  time  of  Alexander, 
always  plead  their  cause  whenever  they  were 
accused  by  their  adversaries.  He  was  always 
sure  to  gain  the  cause  of  his  client,  as  he  al- 
ways referred  to  the  Tiuw.  Notwithstanding 
his  extensive  knowledge,  he  alvrays  reluctantly 
acted  as  the  representative  of  his  people,  and 
he  would  say  "If  I  lose  your  cause,  tell  them 
(the  Gentiles,)  you  have  only  beaten  (in  argu- 
ment, a  sinplc  man,  (an  idiot)  among  us;  but 
if  you  win,  say  the  Law  of  our  geat  teacher 
Moses  has  been  the  cause.

Modesty. 

You  little  know  what  you  have  done,  when 
you  have  first  broke  the  boui.ds  of  modi  sty; 
you  have  set  open  the  door  if  your  fancy  to 
the  devil,  so  that  he  can,  almost  at  his  pleasure 
ever  after,  represent  the  same  sinful  jdeasure 
to  you  anew  :  he  hath  now  acces-s  to  your  fan- 
cy^ stir  up  lustful  thoughts  and  desires,  so 
that  when  ^  on  should  think  of  your  calling, 
or  of  your  God,  or  of  your  soul,  your  thoughts 
will  be  worse  than  *  *  *  npon  the  filth  that 
is  not  fit  to  be  namid.  If  the  devil  here  get

you  do  not  blow  them,  will  go  out  of  them,

enables  us  to  despise  them  "

PSYCHOLOGY. 


CAZOTTB, 

A    HISTORICAL    FACT. 

"  It  appears  but  as  yesterday  ;  yet,  neverthe- 
less, it  was  the  beginning  of  the  year  1788. 
We  were  dining  with  one  of  oar  brethren  at 
the  Academy, — a  man  of  considerable  wealth 
and  genius.  The  company  was  numerous  aud 
diversified — courtiers,  lawyers,  academicians, 
Ac;  and,  according  to  custom,  there  had  been 
a  magnificent  dinner.  At  dessert,  the  wines  of 
Malvoisin  and  Coustanlia  added  to  the  gayety 
of  the  guests  that  sort  of  liberty  which  is  some- 
times forgetful  of  ban  ton  : — we  had  arrived  in 
the  world  ;  ju.st  at  that  time  when  anything 
was  permitted  that  would  raise  a  laugh.  Cham- 
fort  had  read  to  us  some  of  his  impious  and  lib- 
ertine tales,  and  even  the  great  ladies  had  lis 
tened  without  having  recourse  to  their  fans. 
From  this  arose  a  deluge  of  jests  agamot  reli- 
gion. One  quoted  a  tirade  from  Purcelle  ;  an. 
other  recalled  the  philosophic  lines  of  Dide- 
rot,— 

Et  des  boyaux   du  dernier  prctre, 
Serrcz  lo  ecu  da  dernier  roi, 

for  the  sake  of  applauding  them.  A  third 
rose,  and  holding  hisglas-i  in  his  hand,  exclaim- 
ed, '  Yes,  gentlemen,  I  am  as  sure  that  there  is 
no  God,  as  I  am  sure  that  llomer  is  a  fool  ;' 
and,  in  truth,  he  was  as  sure  of  the  one  as  of 
the  other.  The  conversation  became  more  se- 
rious ;  much  admiration  was  expressed  on  the 
revolution,  which  Voltaire  hadjeffccled,  and  it 
was  agreed  that  it  was  his  first  claim  to  the 
reputation  he  enjoyed  :— he  had  given  the  pre- 
vailing tone  to  bis  age,  and  had  been  read  in 
the  antechamber,  as  well  as  the  drawing-room. 
One  of  the  guests  told  us,  while  bursting 
with  laughter,  that  his  hairdresser,  while  pow- 
dering his  hair,  had  said  to  him,  '  Do  you  ob- 
serve, sir,  that  although  I  am  but  a  poor  m's- 
erable  barbiir,I  have  uo  more  religion  than  any 
other.'  We  concluded  that  the  revolution 
must  soon  be  consummated, — that  it  was  indis- 
pensable that  superstition  and  fanaticism 
should  give  place  to  philosophy,  and  we  began 
to  calculate  the  probability  of  the  period  when 
this  should  be,  and  which  of  the  present  compa- 
ny should  live  to  see  the  reign  of  reason.  The 
oldest  complained  that  they  could  scarcely  flit- 
ter themselves  with  the  hope  ;  the  younger  re- 
joiced, that  they  might  entertain  this  very 
probable  expectation  ; — and  they  congratula- 
ted the  Academy  especially  for  having  pre- 
pared this  gteof  work,  and  for  having  been 
the  rallying  point,  the  centre,  aud  the  prime 
mover  of  liberty  of  thought. 

"  One  ouly  of  the  guests  had  not  taken  part 
in  all  the  joyousne^s  of  this  conversation,  and 
had  even  gently  and  cheerfully  checked  tur 
splendid  enthusiasm.  This  was  Cazotte,  an 
amiable  and  original  man,  but  unhappily  in- 
fatuated with  the  reveries  of  the  illuminati. 
He  spoke,  and  with  the  most  serious  tone. 
'Gentlemen,'  said  he,  '  be  satisfied  ;  you  will 
all  see  this  grtat  and  sublime  revolution,  which 
you  so  much  desire.  You  know  that  I  am  a 
little  imlined  to  prophecy  :  I  repeat,  you  will 
see  it.'  He  was  answered  by  the  common  re- 
joinder, '  One  need  not  be  a  conjurer  to  see 
that.'  'Be  it  so  ;  but  perhaps  one  must  be  a 
little  more  than  coi  jurer,  for  what  remains 
for  me  to  tell  you.  Do  you  know  what  will 
be  the  consequenca  of  t'jis  revolution — what 
be  the  consequence  to  all  of  you,  and  what 
will  be  the  immediate  result, — the  well  cstab. 
lished  effect, — the  thoroughly  recogn'z.d  con- 
sequence to  all  of  you  who  are  here  present  ?' 
'Ah!'  said  Cordorcet,  with  his  insolent  and 
half-anpprested  smile,  '  let  us  hear, — a  philoso 


pher  is  not  sorry  to  encounter  a  propl?et.' 
'You  Monsieur  de  Coudorcet,  you  will  yield 
up  your  last  breath  on  the  fl  lOr  of  a  dungeon  ; 
you  will  die  from  poiaoii,  which  yoi  will  bav/^ 
taken,  in  order  to  escape  execution  ,-^from 
poison  which  the  happiness  of  that  time 
will  oblige  you  to  carry  about  your  person.' 

'■  At  first  asto.-ishineiit  was  most  marked  ; 
but  it  was  soon  recollected,  that  the  good 
Cazotte  is  liable  to  dreaming,  though  appar- 
ently wide  awake,  and  a  hearty  laugh  is  the 
consequence.  '  Monsieur  Cazotte,  the  relation 
you  give  uS  is  not  so  agreeable  as  your  Diable 
Amoureux' — (a  n  )vel  of  Cazolte's.) 

"  l}ut  what  diable  has  put  into  your  head 
t'lis  prison,  and  this  poison,  and  these  execu- 
tioners ?  What  can  all  these  have  in  common 
with  philosophy  and  the  reign  of  reason  V — 
'  This  is  exactly  what  I  say  to  you  ;  it  is  in  the 
name  of  philosophy, — of  hum-mity, — of  liber- 
ty ; — ^it  is  under  the  name  of  reus  n,  that  it  will 
happen  to  you  ihm,  to  end  your  career  ; — and 
it  will  indeed  be  the  reign  of  reason  ;  for  then 
she  will  have  her  temples,  and  indicd,  at  that 
time,  there  will  bvi  no  other  temples  in  France 
than  the  temples  of  rea^u.'  '  By  my  truth,' 
said  Chamfort,  with  a  sarcastic  smile,  '  you 
will  not  be  one  of  the  priests  of  those  temples.' 
'  I  do  not  hope  it ;  but  you,  Monsieur  de  Cham- 
fort,  Who  win  be  one,  aud  most  worthy  to  be 
so, you  will  open  your  veins  with  twenty-two 
cuts  of  a  ruz)r,  and  yet  you  will  not  die  till 
some  months  afterwards.'  They  looked  at 
each  other,  and  laughed  again.  '  You,  Mon- 
sieur Vicq  d'Azir,  you  will  not  open  your 
own  veins,  but  you  will  cause  yourself  to  be 
bled,  six  times  in  one  day,  during  a  parox'sm' 
of  tlio  gout,  in  order  to  make  more  sure  of 
your  cud,  and  you  will  die  in  the  night.  You, 
Monsieur  de  Nicolai,  y.>a  will  die  upon  the 
scaffold  ;  you,  M.  Bailly,  on  the  scaffold  ;  you, 
Monseiur  do  Malesherb.s,  on  the  scaffold. — 
'  Ah  !  Go>l  be  thanked,'  excl  limed  lioucher, 
'  it  seems  that  Monsieur  has  no  eye,  but  for 
the  Academy  ; — of  it  he  has  just  made  a  terri- 
ble execution,  and  I,  thank  heave.i  .... 
'  You !  you  also  will  die  upon  the  scaffold.' 
^  0  what  an  admirable  gues.ser  !'  was  utteied 
on  all  sides  ; '  he  has  sworn  to  exterminate  us 
all.'  '  No,  it  is  not  Ilhat  have  sworn  it.'  But, 
shall  we  then  be  conquered  by  the  Turks  orlhe 
Tartars  ?  Yet  again  .  .  .  '  '  Not  at  all  ;  I 
have  already  told  you,  you  will  be  governed 
only  by  philosophy, — only  by  reason.  They 
who  will  thus  treat  you,  will  be  all  philoso- 
phers,— will  always  have  upon  their  lips  the 
selfsame  phrases  which  you  have  been  put- 
ting forth  for  the  last  hour, — will  repeat  all 
your  maxims, — and  will  quote,  as  you  have 
done,  the  verses  of  Diderot,  and  from  La  Pu- 
celle.'  They  then  whispered  among  them- 
selves — '  You  sec  that  he  is  gone  mad  ;' — for 
he  preserved  all  this  time  the  most  serious  and 
solemn  manner.  '  Do  you  not  see  that  he  is 
joking  ?  and  you  know  that,  in  the  character 
of  his  jokes,  there  is  always  much  of  the  mar- 
vellous.' '  Yes,'  replied  Chamfort, '  but  his 
marvellousness  is  not  cheerful  ;  it  sa"vor3  too 
much  of  the  gibbet — and  when  will  all  this 
happen  ?'  '  Six  years  will  not  pass  over  be- 
fore all  that  I  have  said  to  you  shall  be  ac- 
complished.' 

"  '  Here  are  some  astonishing  miracles,'  (and 
this  time,  it  was  I  myself  who  spoke,)  '  but  you 
have  not  included  me  iu  your  list.'  '  But  you 
will  be  there,  as  an  equally  extraordinary  mir- 
acle ;  you  will  then  be  s  Christian.' 

"  Vehement  exclamations  on  all  sides.  '  Ah,' 
replied  Chamfort,'  I  am  comforted— -if  wc  per- 
ish only  when  La  Harpe  shall  be  a  Chribtian, 
we  are  immortal.'

'•  Hare  not  we  all  one  Father  T'—Mnlachi  2 :6. 

Don  Pedro,  King  of  Arragon,  tried  to  de- 
fend the  Jews  against  the  persecution  and 
proselyti.^ra  of  the  prieithood,  invited  the  chief 
of  the  Jewish  communities  to  consult  with 
him  about  the  meaes  to  convert  the  Jews  to 
Chri-dianily.  "  Will  your  Majrsty  al  ow 
me  to  »p^l(k  freely  ?"  asked  the  Syndicus, 
"  Speak,  ana  rely  ou  my  impirtiality."  "  I'hen 
listen  mercifnliy  to  the  facts  I  have  to  diselo-e. 
One  of  my  neighbors,  to  mend  his  fortune  left 
his  home  for  the  Orient,  and  lelt  two  fields  to 
his  children,  with  the  command  to  cultivate 
them  diligently,  but  he  prom  sed  a  special  re- 
ward to  ihat  one  who  would  do  more  than  his 
du  y.  As  long  as  the  chi'drm  were  young, 
they  worked  together  in  harmony  and  love, 
but  growing  older,  self-iuiereit,  cup  diiy  and 
ill  will  began  to  show  itself.  Each  wanted  to 
govern  the  other.  One  said, '  My  fit-Id  is  better 
than  } ours.' 'No,' repled  thf  other, '  mine  is 
belter,  yoa  want  energy  and  z  al  in  tho  culti- 
vation.' Thus  they  quarrelledd.iily,  till  open 
hostility  separated  the  brothers  aud  the  strong- 
er tried  La-supptcaa  Liie  wuikur  brolher.  Aa 
a  neighbor  I  tried  ofun  to  reconcile  them,  but 
in  vain.  Yesterday  they  made  me  judge,  to 
decide  whose  acres  are  the  bestcul  ivateJ  ;but 
I  refused  the  office,  telling  them  that  tiie  time 
spent  in  quirrelling  and  bickering  would  be 
far  belter  employed  in  the  cultivation  of  .the 
land,  and  that  their  behavior  would  surely 
bring  ou  them  the  ill-will  of  their  father. 
"  That  was  well  done,"  said  Don  Pedro, 
'•  but  what  effect  had  your  words  on  the  broth- 
ers?" "Alas!  they  both  felt  discontented 
aid  they  n)W  tiy  to  injure  me  in  every  way." 
"  What !  sueha  well  meaning  aud  wise  coun- 
sel, tlu  y  shall  be  pm.islied  for  it."  "  Alus," 
replied  Syndicus, '  if  your  majesty  would  only 
try  to  find  out  if  the  history  of  the  two  broth- 
ers is  not  also  the  hstory  of  the  two  reli- 
gions !" 

Do  we  not  know,  that  our  Heavenly  Fa- 
ther has  allotted  to  each  of  us  his  part,  wh'ch 
he  shouM  execute  with  a'l  due  diTgencc  and 
care?  Instead  of  quirelling  ad  embittering 
our  lives  by  mutual  hatred,  would  it  not  be  far 
better  to  support  each  other  in  our  mutual 
work,  till  wc  both  arj  called  to  give  ac- 
count of  our  stewardship  before  the  throne  of 
the  Almighty  ?"  Don  i'edro  understood  tho 
meaning  of  these  word-i.and  the  persecution  of 

tlic  Portuguese  Jews  was  no  longer  a'lowed. 

•■■ 

Rabbi  Jebudah  Halevl. 

Though  troubles  and  direful  p  rsccutlons 
hung  heavily  over  the  heads  of  my  devoted 
people,  the  persecuting  sword  that  ravaged 
in  every  age  and  country  was  n  /t  powerful 
enough  to  stop  the  sacred  pen  of  Israel's  Bards 
and  Teachers.  Treasures  of  Hebrew  litera- 
ture are  now  buried  within  the  walls  of  the 
European  libraries.  The  fields  cultivated  by 
our  learned  men  were  chicly  Theology,  Medi- 
cine aud  Mathematics. 

Wc  lay  in  this  number  before  our  readers 
a  free  translation  of  a  Hebrew  Elegy,  by  one 
of  our  Rabbis,  to  which  we  regret  our  ina- 
bility to  do  justice.  The  poet.  Rabbi  Jehudah 
Halevi,  who  flourished  in  Spain,  in  the  12th 
century,  was  father-in-law  or  cousin  germau  to 
the  well  known  con-mcntator  and  phiIo.^ophcr, 
Iben  Ezra.  The  deep  attachment  of  the  au- 
thor for  the  Holy  I^nd  made  him  undertake, 
at  the  age  of  fifty,  a  pilgrimage  to  Jerusalem,  at 
the  time  when  the  liatiu  Kingdom  was  almost 


extinct  in  that  country.  One  day,  when  the 
vencratde  Bard  Sit  lust  iu  melancholy  medita- 
tion, under  the  rarop<irt  of  the  Holy  City,  be 
loosened  his  Bandals.  tore  hia  garments,  and  || 
loudly  recited  ihe  splendid  Elegy  before  us. 
An  Arabian  warrior,  who  cam*  that  way, 
wantonly  iusultod  the  patriotic  pilgrim ;  but 
Judah,  "  like  a  lamb  before  its  shearers,  was 
dumb  and  opened  not  his  mouth."  The  Arab, 
irritated  at  the  remarkable  quietude  of  the 
strany;er,  plunged  hia  dagger  into  his  breast, 
and  soon  trampled  ou  the  mutilate<l  corpse  of 
tho  mourner  of  Zion.- 

Dr.  Da  Casta,  in  a  very  interesting  work,  he 
has  lately  published,  entitled;  "Israel  ami  the 
Gentiles,  "  has  the  following  passage  respect- 
ing tlfat  c*e!ebratcd  man:  "The  master-feeling 
which  accompanied  through  life,  and  gave  a 
pf»cu!iar  t'jrn  to  his  mental  efforts,  was  a  strong 
affection  for  the  spot  where  the  temp'e,of  God 
once  stood,  and  this  feeling  pervaded  the  whole 
of  his  poetry.  He  eventually  undertook  a  jour- 
ney to  Palestine,  and  according  to  the  rela- 
tions of  his  biographers  he  reached  tho  thresh- 
hold  of  Jerusaem,  but  died  before  entering  Its 
gates,  beinif  tramblcd  down,  as  tradition  tells, 
by  the  hor^g  of  an  Arabian  Moslem,  while  he 
was  chaining  an  elegy  on  the  misfortunes  of 
Judah,  and  Jerusalem,  before  one  of  the  gates 
ofthateity.  More  inoih-rn  biographers  have 
classed  this  tale  among  tho  Jewish  legends 
of  the  Middle  .Ages,  and  give,  as  their  opinion, 
that  he  died  during  a  stay  in  Egypt,  while  on 
his  way  to  Jerusalem.  It  is,  at  all  events, 
certain  that  he  never  entered  the  city,  the 
object  of  his  affections  ;  and  this  gives  a  still 
more  touching  interest  to  the  account  he  him- 
self gives  of  the  emotions  of  his  heart,  from  the 
time  he  formed  a  resolution  to  accomplish  his 
vow  of  pilgrimage.  He  expresses,  with  much 
feeling  the  yearning  of  his  soul  towards  the 
land  of  his  fathers,  in  the  following  lines  of  one 
of  h  s  poems  : 

'  In  the  West  is  my  body,  while  my  heart  ts  In  (tie 

Kast. 
What  has  long  t>een  the  joy  of  my  hope,  now 

boromos  a  lengthened  torment. 
Ah  !  shall  I  ever  oiitain  what  my  soul  has  so  long 

desired? 
What  ii  Spain  to  mc,  with  her  blue  sky  and  her 

bright  fame, 
In  comparison  with  a  little  dust  of  that  temple 

which  is  trodden  under  foot  by  the  Gontilcu?' 

•  A  friend  of  Hallcvi's,  alsoa'poct,  tried,  by 
a  poetical  epistle,  to  dissuade  him  from  this 
perilous  enterprise.  He  answered  him  by  a 
poem,  in  wh  ch  hs  complains  '  that  the  grace, 
ful  verses  of  the  letter  he  had  receive<l,  con- 
cealed daggers  to  wound  him,  and  that  thorns 
were  hid  beneath  the  softness  of  its  fine  expres- 
t-ions.'  For  further  satisfaction,  ho  refers  him 
to  those  of  their  father  who  had  journeyed  in 
that  country  which  had  received  the  immediate 
revelation  of  God,  and  his  heralds  the  Prophets. 
He  ends  by  exhorting  his  cool  adviser  against 
that  Greek  wisdom  which  had  always  been  in- 
imical to  any  depth  of  religioas  feeling,  aud 
which  must  ever  continue  incompatible  with 
the  foundations  of  Judaism. 

"Other  poems  of  Hallevi  are  dated  after 
the  time  when  he  really  began  his  journey. 
When  at  sea,  he  called  to  mind,  with  affection, 
all  the  members  of  his  family — bis  brothers, 
sisters,  daughters,  the  Synagogue  of  his  conn, 
try,  and  the  place  he  bad  filled  in  it :  yet  still 
the  longing  desire  to-behold  the  land  of  the  al- 
tar and  of  the  ark  of  God  remained  uppermost 
in  his  mind.  '  If  he  can  but  nccomplLsh  his 
vow,  the  sight  of  jackals  and  hyenas  would  bo 
rather  wellcome  than  terrible  to  him,  and  the 
roaring  of  the  lion  a  more  pleasing  music  than 
the  bleating  of  flocks.'

CIRCULAR 

TO  OUR   FRIENDS  AND  AGENTS. 

Gbmtlkubx  : 

You  will  gnlher  a  iofflciently  precise  Idea 
Of  tbo  character  and  general  plan  of  the  present 
sheet,  by  referring  to  thcr-prospectus  and  the  tabic 
of  contents  emhraced  in  this  number.    The  want 
of  such  a  paper  has  long  been  felt  and  acknowl- 
edged.   The  success  of  this  will  depend  largely 
upon  the  measure  of  ability  which  we  can  bring 
to  the  performance  of  our  ta»k,  but  also,  let  us 
add,  in  a  rery  great  measure  upon  your  efforts. 
If  the  plan  of  this  sheet  meet  your  approval,  and  if 
wc  can  rely  with  certainty  upon  youi  kind  wishes 
for  its  prosperity  and  your  «ndeavors  to  promote 
its  circulation,  its  success  is  certain  ;  it  will  take 
rank  at  once  among  the  most  popular  and  influ- 
ential religious  journals  of  this  State.    Wc  have 
Uken  the  liberty  to  transmit  to  you  several  num- 
bers of  this  our  first  issue,  and  would  accompany 
them  with  the  earnest  request,  that  if  circumstans 
CCS  should  prevent   your  accepting  the  agency, 
which  wo  hereby  tender  to  you,  you  will  confide 
the  same  to  some  suitable  person  of  your  ac- 
(lualntanca,  who  will  be  willin?  to  accept  it,  and 
that  you  will  immediately  advise  us  by  letter  "* 
the  sclectisa  you  have  thus  made.    We  would 
also  urgo|upon  you  the  propriety  of  your  endeavor- 
log  to  secure  for  our  paper  an  extended  circulation 
among  Christians  no  less  than  among  Jews,  as 
we  intend  to  devote  a  largo  space  in  its  columns 
to  matter  that  cannot  but  prove  interesting  to  the 
general   reader.     We  shall  allow  our  agents  the 
usual  rate  of  25  per  cent  upon  all  moneys  receiv> 
ed  by  them,  whether  for  subscriptions  or  adver- 
tisements.  We  earnestly  solicit  from  all,  whether 
personally  known  to  U8  or  not,  wlio  arc  friendly 
to  the  success  of  our  enterprise,  the  communica- 
tion of  such  interesting  items  of  intelligence  rela- 
tive to  our   people,  as  may   from   time  to  time 
reach  them.    We  shall  thus,  we  trust,  be  enabled 
to  present  our  readers,  each  week,  with  a  summary 
of  news  that  will  prove  peculiarly  acceptable,  not 
only   »o  the  members  of  our  creed    resident  in 
California,  but  also  to  our  numerous  friends  and 
relations  in  the  Eastern  States  and  in  Europe. 
We  remain,  Gentlemen, 

Very  respectfully  Yours,

PROSPECTITS- 

In  subJiitting  to  the  public  tbo  first  num- 
ber of  a  Perwdical,  it  is  custoniary  to  say  a 
few  words  relative  to  the  wants,  real  or  fancied, 
which  the  new  publication  is  intended  to  sup- 
ply, and  to  lay  down  as  it  were  n  churt  of  the 
general  principles  by  which  ils  future  course 
is  to  be  guided.    In  accordance  with  this  usage, 
we  proceed  to  state  as  briefly  as  possible  tiie 
aim  aud    scope  of  the    present    publication, 
Bimply  prentising  lliut  if  any  apology  be  deemed 
requisite  for  our  entering  the  already  crowded 
arena  of  public  journalism,  it  may  bo  found  in 
the  fact  that,  apart  from  the  propriety  of  Imv- 
hig  our  principles    properly    represented  by 
a  local  organ  of  our  own,  the  Eastern  Press 
has  hitherto  paid  so  little  attention  to  certain 
branches  of  practical  utility  as  to  render  the 
establishment  of  such  an  organ  almost  a  mat- 
ter of  necessity.    I'roperly  to  supply  this  defi- 
ciency will  bo  the  leading  aim  of  the  present 
sheet. 

Th«  Mccaeph,  the  fi/caner,  Gatherer,  Defen- 
der, for  tlic  original  has  all  these  significa- 
tions, is  intended  to  be  a  religious  and  literary 
family  paper,  devoted  to  the  general  advocacy 
of  whatever  shall,  ia  the  opiuiou  of  itsKJitor. 


BiblicBl   »mi  JcwUh  iStiqwiil**. 

As  a  repository  of  rare  and  varied  informa- 
tion  upon  all  matters   relating  to  Jewish  and 
Biblical  Antiquities,  we  shall  endeavor  to  make 
the  Glemier  peculiarly  valuable  to  all,  whether 
Jew  or  Gentile,  who  are  interested  in  the  study 
of  this  iiTiportant  branch  of  human  knowledge. 
Eaiilcrn    Travels. 
Full  and  accurate  descriptions  of  the  classic 
localities  of  the  laud  of  our  forefathers— local- 
ities  that  have  been  hallowed  by  the  penjof 
inspiration,  and  that  have  witnessed  the  acting 
of  some  of  the  most  important  and  extraordi- 
nary scenes  in  human  history,  will  form  an  im- 
portant feature  of  our  paper.         ^^^^^ 
IllnHtrationa. 
Both  the  above  mentioned  Departments  will 
be  regularly  illustrated  every  week   with  ap- 
propriate and  tasteful  wood-cuts. 
Education. 
Without    directly    encroaching    upon   the 
of  the  to'^-^MT   \ho  I'ros=!    is.  in  this 
"country  at  least,  his  be,t  and  most  influential 
ally.     The  Gleaner  will  discuss  all    questions 
having  a  direct  bearing  upon  the  education  and 
proper  management  of  our  children,  whether  in 
school  or  at  home:  always  keeping  in  view  the 
important  fact  that  the  training  of  the  moral 
facultie.-,  now  in  a  measure  neglected,  should 
go  hand  in  hand  with  that  of  the  mental. 

As  the  friend  of  the  family,  the  G/ea»er  will 
also  devote  considerable  space  to  articles  cal- 
culated to  promote  the  happiness  and  general 
welfare  of  every  member  of  the  household. 

Jarrnilc    Woparlmcnl. 

An  important  and  iutere^ting  feature  of  our 
paper  will  be  the  Juvenile  Department— to  the 
proper  management  ot  which  we  shall  devote 
much  care  and  thought.  Our  lilt!e  readers 
will  take  up  the  Gleaner  every  week  with  the 
certainty  of  finding  two  or  three  of  its  col- 
umns especially  devoted  to  their  interests. 
To  amuse  and  instruct  them  will  be  with  us 
a  matter  of  no  secondary  importance  ;  and 
the  better  to  attain  this  two-fold  end,  we  shall 
strive  to  convey  our  ideas  to  them  in  the  sim- 
plest and  plainest  language  we  can  employ. 
DoiucMtic  Ecanoinr- 

To  the  Department  of  Domestic  Ki!onomy 
and  Ilygiei.c,  we  shall  devote  as  much  space  as 
is  consistent  with  our  gem  ral  plan,  and  shall 
in  this  connection  publish  regularly  every 
week  a  number  of  important  rules  aud  receipts 
for  the  household.

IliHTOHlS. 

Each  number  of  this  sheet  will  contain  suc- 
cinct and  important  summaries  of  foreign  news 
in  relation  to  our  people  and  their  interests, 
and  we  shall  from  time  to  time  lay  before  our 
readers  such  interesting  items  of  news  from 
our  brethren  as  may  nach  us  from  sources  and 
countries  hitherto  little  known  to  the  general 
reader. 

Wc  shall  endeavor  to  render  the  Gleaner  a 
medium  for  the  free  interchange  of  thought 
from  whatever  source  it  may  cminatc— and  its 
digcussiou  of  all  qnosiions  connected    either 


with  our  own  or  with  the  public  well  being. 
Finally,  we  shall  spare  no  endeavors  to  render 
this  sheet  a  welcome  viaitor  at  fivery  fire- aide, 
a  credit  to  our  people,  and  an  honor  to  our 
State.  We  shall  strive  so  to  blend  the  useful 
with  the  agreeable  n  our  columns,  as  that  no 
one,  whether  Jew  or  Gentile,  can  rise  from  the 
perusal  of  its  pages  without  feel  ng  that  he  has 
been  at  once  amused  and  instructed. 

In  the  momentous  cri-is  through  which 
our  system  of  theology  is  now  passing,  we  shall 
strive  to  pay  due  defer-.iice  to  the  past,  without 
however,  ignoring  the  requirements  of  the  pres- 
ent, or  failing  to  provide  for  our  existence  in 
the  future. 

We  thus  send  forth  the  Gleaner  upon  what 
we  sincerely  trust  will  prove  a  useful  and  bles- 
sed mission,  and,  however  little  temporary  pro- 
fit or  advantage  may  accrue  to  us,  we  shall  feel 
amply  rewarded  if  in  the  end  it  shall  be  found 
to  have  advanced,  however  little,  the  cause  of 
piety  i^nd  the  best  interests  of  mankitd  upon 
earth.

Adapted  Material. -The  intelligent  reader 
cannot  fail  to  observe  that,  though  wc  assumed 
the  unpretending  title  of  Gleaner,  there  is  at 
least  as  ranch  origin. I  matter  in  our  col-

BTRANOE    DOIHOS    AT    TUB    ASYLUM. 

The  committee  of  investigation  of  the  af- 
Wrsorihe  Aijmnr,  va  examiniug  inc  ooriai 
ground  of  that  institution,  found  nine  bodies 
in'erred  in  four  graves.  This  of  course,  and 
the  precedents  that  caused  the  investigation, 
created  considerable  excitement  in  that  city. 

We  are  glad  to  learn  from  our  correspondent 
at  Stockton,  that  our  co  religionists,  on  hear- 
ing how  matters  were  managed  at  the  State 
Insane  Asylum,  immediately  made  inquiries 
as  to  the  state  and  numbers  of  the  Israelites 
confined  in  that  unfortunate  house.  They  found 
one  Jewish  male  inmate.  But,  to  their  regret, 
they  learned  that  the  following  deaths  had 
taken  place  lately  : 

Samuel  Harwitz,  a  native  of  Golean,  Rus- 
sian Poland,  about  36  yoais  of  age.  Mr.  11. 
was  a  member  of  that  Harwitz  family,  known 
among  the  literati  by  their  literary  produc- 
tions. Professor  Harwitz,  late  of  the  London 
University,  belonged  likewise  to  that  family. 
Mr.  H's  insanity  was  of  a  religious  natftre  ; 
he  imagined  himself  a  Messiah,  or  even  some 
supernatural  being.  He  was  not  ignorant; 
had  a  tolerable  good  Heb  ew  education.  He 
had  been  an  inmaieof  the  Asylum  about  four 
ycarSr  ind  died  the  ninth  instant. 

David  Jordan,  a  native  of  Vilene,  Province 
of  Posen,  about  26  years  of  age.  He  was  an 
inmate  for  about  nine  months — died  the  sev- 
enth instant. 

With  the  permission  of  the  physician,  our 
friends  were  allowed  the  privilege  of  exhuming 
them.  They  were  buried  with  Jewish  rites, 
in  the  Jewish  burial  ground.

We  are  under  obligation  to  the  Hon.  E. 
Miro  for  a  copy  of  the  Annual  Message  of  the 
Governor  of  the  State  of  California  to  the 
Eighth  Session  of  the  Tx'gir'lature. 

The  attention  of  the  friends  of  the  firm  of 
Worinser  Brothers,  is  directed  to  the  removal 
of  their  Store  from  Battery  to  the  southwest 
corner  of  California  and  Front  streeU. 


♦'  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  the 
plain  of  Mamre  :  and  he  sat  in  the  tent  door 
in  the  heat  of  the  day  ; 

"  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  looked,and,lo, 
three  men  stood  by  him :  and  when  he  saw 
them,  he  ran  to  meet  them  from  the  tent  door, 
and  bowed  himself  toward  the  ground, 

"  And  said.  My  Lord,  if  now  I  have  found 
favor  in  thy  sight,  pass  not  away,  I  pray  thee, 
from  thy  servant ; 

"  Let  a  little  water,  I  pi'ay  you,  be  fetched, 
and  wash  your  feet,  and  rest  yourselves  under 
the  tree." 

In  the  valley  north-west  of  the  town,  apart 
in  a  field  covered  with  greensward,  stands  a 
noble  tree— a  prickly  oak— which  is  locally 
believed  to  be  the  very  Eshel  in  Elone  Mara- 
rai,  the  very  tree  beneath  whose  shade  the  an- 
gels were  entertained  by  Abraham. 

It  is  indeed  a  venerable  tree,  admitted  to  be 
the  largest  in  Palestine,  the  vast  bulk  of  which, 
considerng  the  slow  growth  of  the  species, 
proc'aims  an  extreme  age,  and  whose  wide- 
spreading  branches  cover  an  enormous  space 
of  ri<:li,  refreshing  turf.  The  trunk  of  this  tree_ 
measures  twenty-two  and  a  half  feet  around 
fthe  lower  part.  It  separates  imWdiately  into 
boughs  or  truuks  ;  and  one  of  these  again, 
higher  up,  into  two.  The  branches  extend 
from  the  trunk,  in  one  direction,  forty-nine  feet, 
their  whole  diamater  in  that  direction  being 
eighty-nine  feet,  and  in  the  other,  at  right  an- 
gles, eighty-three  and  a  half.  The  tree  is  still 
in  a  flourishing  state,  and  the  trunk  sound,  so 
that  ii  may  still  subsist  for  ages.  The  wide 
shade  which  its  branches  afford,  with  the  per- 
petual verdure  which  that  shale  p-csrves 
upon  the  spot,  with  the  presence  of  a  wcjl  of 
water  hard  by,  renders  the  tree  of  much  resort 
for  holiday-makers  from  Hebron — and,  indeed, 
a  more  attractive  spot  for  recreation  and  re- 
fresbiiieut  conld  hardly  be  found.  This  tree  in- 
vites the  more  attention  from  the  fact  that 
trees  of  large  size  have  become  exceedingly  rare 
in  the  southern  part  of  Palestine— certainly 
any\yhere  south  of  the  plain  of  Esraelon. 
At,  that  spot  a  great  annual  f  lir  was  held, 
where  many  of  the  captive  Jews,  after  the  fall 
of  Jerus;ilem,  were  sold  into  Egyptian  bond- 
age by  the  Romans,  "  till  no  man  would 
buy  tlum."  Above  a  thousand  years  later, 
however,  travelers  found  a  venerable  tree,  also 
a  terebintli,  to  which  the  honors  of  Abraham's 
tr.  e  had  been  transferred.  That  has  also  dis- 
appeared—for sora^  of  these  old  travelers  knew 
both  terebinths  and  oaks  too  well  to  take  an 
oak  for  a  terebinth  ;  and  the  tree  which  is 
now  vencratt  d  as  that  which  shaded  the  teni 
of  Abraham,  cannot  therefore  be  the  oue  which 
was  in  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries 
described  a«  the  terbin^h  of  Abraham.  Ii  de  d, 
there  is  nr>t  bow  any  large  tree  of  that  species 
in  the  neighborhood  of  Hebron.  It  appears, 
in  fact,  that  the  elder  tree  regarded  as  that  of 
Abraham  stood  farther  from  Ilebrim,  towards 
Jerusalem,  than  the  one  which  has  been  de- 
scribed, and  which  must  be  regardel  as  the  third 
if  n.-t  the  fourth  or  fifth  representative  of  the 
tree  vif  Abraham-  Thirty-sev*  n  centuries  afiford 
time  enough  for  several  trees  to  attain  sich 
bulk  as  this  tree  exhibits;  and  no  doubt  wc 
have  here  one,  and  certainly  a  nm.uk. ble  e.\- 
ample  of  the  process  followed,  in  keeping  up 
the  succession  of  a  tree  repuieil  to  be  historical. 
The  tree  is  preserved  till  it  attains  its  utmost 
a;;e  and  bu  k,  and  perishes  by  accident  »r  slow 
decay ;  then  the  most  conspicuous  ti  ee  io  i  s

in  like  manner  is  protected  from  the  axe,  and 
in  like"  manner  dies. 

The  objection  that  the  tree  rf  Abraham  was 
not  an  oak  hut  a  terebinth  tree,  is  ably  refuted 
in  the  Thesaurus  of  Ge  eniu*,  pages  50.51.  At 
all  events  the  tree  is  a  most  rem  irkab'c  one — 
being  the  largest  in  Palestine,  and  the  spot 
cla-Ksical,  and  worthy  of  being  bro.ight  to  the  . 
notice  of  our  readers. 

And  we  learn  from  history,  that  If  was  fa-^ 
mous  for  resort  in  the  timeof  Constantinc ; 
that  Jews,  Christian,s  and  Gentiles  met  there 
once  a  year,  not  only  for  traffic,  but  for  reli- 
gion :  calling  here  upon  God,  as  Abraham  did 
about  a  thousand  years  before.  "And  Abra- 
ham planted  a  grove  in  Beer-Sheba,  aud  called 
there  on  the  name  of  God  the  Lord,  the  ever- 
lasting God,"— Gen   21.;{3. 

At  that  time  there  was  also  an  altar  here, 
on  which  the  (^entiles  sacrificed,  and  invoked 
their  deities.  Constantinc,  being  informed  of 
this  superstition  by  his  mother  H.  lena,  caustd 
that  altar  to  be  demolished  and  a  church  to 
be  built  in  its  place.  (See  SozMuan,  lib.  ii. 
cap.  4  ;  Euzebius  in  vita  Constant,  lib.  ii.  cap. 
53.) 

But  we  can  scarce  imagine  that  the  present 
tree  is  the  identical  one  under  which  Abra- 
ham sat ;  for  that  we,  learn  from  Jerome,  born 
331,  had  already  perished  in  his  days.

Dost  thou,  0  Z;on,  forget  those  who  now 
langnis'.i  in  captives'  chains?*  Art  thou  in- 
sei.sible  to  the  sa'ut.»tion?  which  tlie  remnant 
of  t'w  fl  'ck  send  towards  tine  from  all  quar- 
tets whither  the  driver's  hand  hath  di-persed 
them  ?  From  the  east  and  west,  from  tl  e 
north  and  south,  the  exile,  hopef  il,  though  in 
eh  tits,  anxiously  looks  to  thee.  Bathed  in 
toirs,  rapiiily  ro'Iing  down  his  cheeks,  like 
the  riermon's  dew,  he  longeth  to  shod  them 
on  thy  hills.  Win  n  I  lament  tliy  fall,  I  am  like 
the  doleful  hird  of  night ;  but  wlien  I  dream 
of  thy  return,  ray  soul  becomes  like  a  harp 
attuned  to  thy  songs. 

Beth  Elf— O,  thy  rtniembrnnc"  breaketh

ening  the  lustre  of  both  sun  and  star?.  O, 
that  I  could  pour  out  my  melting  heart, 
where  once  thy  ho'y  spirit  was  poured  forth 
over  Israel's  youths  1  0,  blissful  spot,  too  holy 
for  earthly  thrones,  once  thou  werk  the  resi- 
dence of  the  King  of  Glory ;— but  now,  Oh  ! 
revengeful  slaves  pollute  thy  thrones !

hover  where  the  I/ord  used  to  appear  to  his

flying  pinions,  how  far  would  I  roam  and  carry 
the  fragments  of  my  heart  to  yonder  shattered 
ruins !  There,  prostrate  to  the  ground,  upon 
my  face,  I  would  closely  cling  to  the  dumb 
rock  ;  my  forehead  would,  in  adoration,  bow  to 
thy  sacred  dust. 

0,  that  I  upon  my  father's  gra\es  could 
stand  !  there,  stunned,  I  would  contemplate  He- 
bron's Mound— the  most  chusen  of  graves. 
My  eye  would  fixedly  dwell  on  Abarira  and 
Hor,J  the  resting-place  of  thy  two  great  lights 
and  guides. 

Thy  heavenly  air  I  would  prefer  to  ether  that 
spirits  breathe  ;  thy  sacred  dust  to  fragrant 
myrrh  ;  thy  prattling  ktrearalets  to  flowing 
honey.  How  should  1  delight  in  treading 
bare:oot,  the  wasted  soil,  formerly  studded 
with  splendid  domes,  where  the  earth  opened 
wide  her  gasping  month  to  receive  in  her 
.trusty  bo-som,  the  Ark  of  the  Covenant,  with 
the  spreading  Cheruliim  !?  There  I  would 
spread  the  ornament  uf  my  head||  upon  the  sa- 
cred ground,  and  imprecate  the  hour  that  pro- 
fanation spread  among  thy  Nazaritcs  on  un- 
holy shores.  How  can  ray  lips  taste  fcod  or 
drink,  when  I  see  lions  dragged  by  raving 
dogs?^  How  can  I  en  lure  the  light  of  day, 
which  shows  me  voracious  ravens  greedily 
preying  on  the  manghd  bodies  of  thy  sainted 
hosts  ? 

0,  Thou  who  minglcst  the  cup  of  my  sufTer-

Don  Solomon  ben  Jeohaia 
©B, 

XnK    MODEL   COMMANDER-IN-rniEK. 

Military  valor  is  ot  a  very  questionable  na- 
ture ;  and  is  in  itself  never  worthy  of  beii-g 
held  up  to  view ,  or  to  become  the  object  of  en- 
comium.  But  when  it  is  subordinate  ami  un- 
der the  control  of  virtue,  piety,  and  wi.sdom 
we  ra:iy  well  hold  it  up  as  a  mod -1. 

And  as  such  we  name  Don  Solomon  Ihmj  Jo- 
haia  of  Portugal.  He  was  a  plilosopher, 
but  he  at  the  same  time  acquired  aneh  repu'.a- 
tion  for  valor,  that  the  King  ef  I'ortiiga!  made 
him  Lieutenant-General  or  Commander  in- 
Chief  of  the  Army.  He  d  schargcd  the  duties 
of  his  important  post  most  commend  Aly,  and 
his  movements  were  attende<l  with  unusual 
success.  This  was  too  much  for  the  eye  of 
envy  to  behold  with  indifl'erence.  The  gran- 
dees, envious  of  the  position,  honors,  uiid  pros- 
perity of  the  General,  endeavored  to  render 
him  snsjiicious  to  the  King.  But  our  Don 
Solomon  chided  their  calumnies  by  his  excm. 
pkiry  modesty  and  conduct. 

He  was  a  model  to  Israel  by  his  own  life 
and  enactments.  'Io  avoid  attracting  the  en- 
vious eye  of  the  jeilous  .Moor,  Don  Solomon 
obliged  hs  co-religionists  to  retrench  their 
luxury.  AmiMig  other  prohibitions  were  their 
not  being  allowed  to  were  silk  garments,  nor 
to  app(  ar  on  horseback  ill  the  public   streets.

A  Hockiy  that  occupies  a  position  like  that 
of  the  Morcautile  Library  Association  of  San 
Francisco,  scarcely  needs  either  our  editorial 
notice  or  recommendation  to  the  public  at 
large.  Ilowcver,  in  the  sphere  in  which  the 
airancr  wi'l  be  read,  and  the  countries  to 
which  it  will  find  its  way,  it  may  be  of  in- 
terest to  learn  that  the  Rooms  of  the  Society, 
occupying  tic  whole  of  the  second  story  of  the 
fplendid  building,  corner  of  Montgomery  and 
Jackson  streets,  one  of  the  most  eligible  and 
central  parts  of  the  city,  are  most  elegantly 
fitted  up  for  the  reception  of  visitors.  There 
is  even  a  separate  room,  (being  very  appropri- 
ately chosen— the  first  to  the  right)— with  the 
proper  notice,  "  Ladies'  ReaJing  Roum,"  for

Uut  to  the  credit  of  the  Society  we  must  (.spe- 
cially uieutioD,  that  to  the  first  studies  of  man 
in  Theology  considerable  attention  is  paid. 
And  we  were  highly  gratified  to  see  that  the 
narrow-minded  sectarian  spirit,  which  gives 
such  a  dark  color  to  some  other  libraries— 
whose  theology,  indeed,  is  such  that  Jesus  and 
the  Apostles,  even,  would  not  have  subscribed 
to  it— does  not  becloud  the  atmosphere  of  the 
'I'licological  D-partment  of  the  Mercantile  Li- 
brary Association  of  San  Francisco.  Here 
you  see  (of  course  on  the  shelves)  representa- 
tives of  <liir<;rent  creeds,  sects,  opinions  and 
Systems,  arrayed  in  celestial  harmony,  side  by 
side ;  hero  you  sec  assembled,  in  one  room,  the 
Juw,  the  Mahometan  and  the  Gentile,  the 
Presbyterian,  Episcopalian?: tind  Unitarian, 
holding  out  in  solemn,  silt^nt  gravity  Iheir 
views  and  systems  to  your  choice. 

An<l  the  true  Divine  will  certainly  be  as 
catholic  (universal)  as  the  Divinity  himself  ; 
ho  will  respect  the  spirit  of  piety  of  the  honest 
authors  ;  will,  if  circumstances  allow,  give  a 
hearing  to  all,  and  carefully  glean  from  all 
what  is  sound,  leaving  the  chaff— and  what 
human  proJuctiou  is  perfectly  winnowed  ?— 
behind.  He  will  not  wrangle  about  the  minor 
«ininteliigiblo  points,  on  which  men  differ,  but 
gladly  join,  in  friendship,  the  great  host  of 
laborers  in  the  promulgation  of  those  great 
ideas  in  which  we  all  agree.  In  his  choice  he 
will  act  on  the  maxim  of  the  last  of  the  four 
students,  enumerated  in  the  following  pas- 
sago  : — 

"  There  are  four  riualilics  to  be  met  with  in 
those  who  attend  to  hear  the  instruction  of 
the  sages  ;  viz.,  those  who  acj  as  a  sponge,  a 
f«nnel,  a  strainer,  and  a  sieve  :  as  a  sponge, 
which  sucketh  all  np ;  as  a  funnel,  which  re- 
coivoth  at  one  end,  and  dischargcth  at  the  oth- 
er :  as  a  strainer,  which  letteth  the  wine  pass, 
but  retaineth  the  lets  ;  and  as  a  sieve,  which 
dischargeth  the  bran,  but  retaineth  the  fine 
flour."— £//Hfv  0/  the  Fathers,  C/iap.  18.

Modesty  of  a  Lady  Lecturer. 

"There  is  nothing  new  under  the  sun,"  says 
the  Preacher.  Among  the  novelties  of  our 
age,  we  may,  with  ju.«tice,  count  that  of  the  ap- 
pearance of  women  before  a  mixed  audience, 
not  to  receive  but  to  give  instruction- to 
lecture  in  public,  or  on  other  less  urgent 
occasions. 

However,  the  foUdwing  story,  apart  from 
the  fact  of  its  showing  that  the  cases  are  not 
unprecedented  in  history,  teaches  our  age  an 
excellent  lesson  in  decency  and  modesty,  and 
may  serve  as  a  model  to  ladies  who  have  to 
appear  before  audiences,  and  particularly  as  a 
general  hint  to  parents  in  cases  of  public 
exhibitions. 

Among  the  distempers  of  the  twelfth  centu- 
ry, was  that  of  a  desire  ttrlearo 
travel  in  quest  of  news  or  adventures  abroad. 
Thousands  left  as  adventurers,  tens  of  thou- 
sands as  pilgrims,  and  millions  as  infatuated 
crusaders.  Such  were  not  the  motives  of 
some  Rabbij,  as  the  famous  traveller,  Benja- 
min, of  Tudela,  and  R.  Petachia  :  they  trav- 
elled not  to  do  penance,  nor  to  conquer  a 
grave,  where  (as  the  report  expressly  says) 
nobody  was  buried;  but  they,  like  Joseph, 
went  "  to  see  whether  it  was  well  with  their 
brethren  ;"  they,  too,  undertook  long  and  haz- 
ardous travels  to  visit,  the  scattered  sLecp  of 
the  house  of  Israel  in  distant  lands,  and  to  see 
how  they  fared— and  from  R.  Petachia  we 
learn  the  following  interesting  story. 

The  traveller  tells  us  that  he  knew  the  Resh 
CJalutha,  (the  head  of  the  Captivity*)  who 
had  a  daughter  very  learned  in  the  law,  the 
Bible  and  the  Talmud. 

She  had'  a  great  number  of  disciples,  of 
Bachurim,  (young  men  who  would  resort  from 
every  quarter  to  some  seat  of  learning,)  before 
whom  she  read  and  explained  the  'J'almud 
publicly. 

But  in  order  to  avoid  the  gaze  of  her  hearer.^, 
she  delivered  her  lectures  from  an  adjoining 
room,  from  behind  a  latticed  window  ;  so  that 
she  could  be  heard  and  not  seen. 

"  In  the  modesty  of  fearful  duty, 

I  read  as  much  as  from  the  rattling  tonsue 

Of  sAucy  and  audacious  eloquence." 

Shakespeare. 

The  Weekly  Gleaner  is  the  name  of  a   new 
paper  published  in  this  city,  the  first  number 
of  which  appeared  on  Friday  the  ICth  inst.    It 
is  a  handsome  quarto  sheet,  "  devoted  to  Reli- 
gion, Education,  Biblical  and  Jewish  Antiqui 
ties,  Literature  and   General  News.      Julius 
Ecknian,  D.  D.,  Editor  and  Proprietor."     We 
are  favorably  impressed  with  the  typographical 
appearance  and  the  choice  and  interesting  orig- 
inal and  selected  matter  of  this  organ  of  our 
fellow-citizens,  the  Israelites,  and  think  that.it 
cannot  fail  to  prove  a  welcome  visitor  to  the 
family  circle  of  both  Jew  and   Gentile.     The 
departments  of  Eastern  Travels  and   Biblical 
and  Jewish  Antiquities   arc   illustrated   with 
tasteful  and  appropriate  wood-cuts.      We  are  1 
informed  by  the  Docto  r  that  it  is  his  inten-  j 
tion  to  improve  and  add  to  the  interest  of  the  1 
different  department*  and  to  make  the    Glean-  ' 
er  eminently  worthy  of  the  people  it  repre.

The  Weekly  Gleaneb.— The  second  num- 
ber of  the  Weekly  Gleaner,  a  paper  devoted  to 
the  interests  of  our  Hebrew  population,  made 

We  have  already  taken  occasion  to  speak  of 
the  first  number  in  terms  of  high  commendation, 
and  the  appearance  of  the  present  issue  proves 
that  oar  encomiums  were  well  bestowed.  The 
article  on  Hebron  and  the  Cave  of  Machpelah 
is  concluded  in  this  number,  as  also  the  one  on 
the  Existence  of  a  God.  The  last  topic  is 
treated  with  the  hand  of  a  master.  The  depth 
of  research,  force  of  logic,  and  happy  facility 
of  expression,  which  characterize  this  admira- 
ble essay  prove  conclusively,  that  the  writer  is 
one  of  the  profoundest  scholars  and  thinkers  of 
our  age.  We  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that 
Locke  or  Kant  might  have  envied  the  lumin- 
ousness  with  which  the  learned  author  enun- 
ciates his  premises,  and  the  irresistible  force  of 
logic  by  which  he  proves  their  correctness, 
while  it  is  not  too  much  to  affirm,  that  for 
terseness  of  expression  and  chasttness  and 
elegance  of  illustration  the  style  in  which 
the  whole  is  conveyed  has  not  been  surpassed 
since  the  palmiest  days  of  the  elder  English 
essayists.  The  article  in  question  is  destined 
to  elicit  much  comment  from  the  religious 
res j^  throughout  the  world,  as  by  it, the  ques- 
tion of  the  existence  of  a  God  has  been  defin- 
itively put  to  rest.  We  shall  take  occasion  to 
give  the  forthcoming  numbers  of  the  Gleaner 
a  more  extended  notice.

TRANSLATION. 

The  Weekly  Gleaner  is  a  new  weekly  period- 
ical, which  made  its  appearance  for  the  first 
time,  yesterday,  and  for  the  reception  of  which 
we  return  our  best  thanks.  As  the  editor  we 
find  nanitd  Mr.  Julius  Eckman,  who,  if  we  are 
not  mistaken,  formerly  jjccupied  the  position  of 
Rabbi  to  the  Jewish  Congregation  of  this  city. 
The  paper  is  devoted  to  the  religious  interests 
of  the  Jews  ;  and  to  judge  from  the  specimen 
before  us,  is  conducted  with  ability  and  skill. 
We  have  perused  with  much  interest  in  the 
number  before  us,  the  article  on  "The  Evidence 
of  the  Existence  of  God."  The  variety  and 
the  excellent  typographical  appearance  must 
we  judge  from  the  intense  interest  which  the 
Jewish  population  takes  iu  religious  questions, 
secure  the  paper  an  existence  for  the  future. 

AVc  congratulate  Mr.  Eckman  in  his  under- 
taking, and  rejoice  in  our  new  colleague. 

The  Glkaner  —We  are  in  receipt  of  the 
first  number  of  a  new  weekly,  published  at 
San  Francisco,  entitled  The  Gleaner.  It  is  a 
religiou.s  and  family  paper,  devoted  to  the  in- 
terests of  the  Jewish  population  of  California. 
We  find  its  contents  rery  interesting. — Sonora

The  Angel  Guard. 
A  little  fiirl  knelt  down  to  pray, 

As  she  was  used  to  do,— 
'God  guard  my  sister  every  day, 

And  baby  brother  too." 

God  heard  in  heaven  the  simple  prayer, 

And  bade  an  angel  tly, 
To  take  the  children  in  his  care. 

And  every  want  supply. 

They  saw  him  not,  but  he  was  there, 
Their  strong  and  glorious  friend, 

Still  hovering  o'er  them  everywhere. 
To  succor  and  defend. 

From  morn  till  eve  his  mighty  arm, 

Averted  every  ill  ; 
From  eve  till  morn,  a  shield  from  harm. 

His  wing  was  o'er  them  still. 

O,  blessed  be  the  God  of  love, 

Who  hears  when  children  pray, 
And  sends  his  angels  from  above. 
To  guard  them  night  and  day.

May  Thy  spirit  still  watch  o'er  os,

Through  the  day; 
And  when  life's  last  day  is  done.

Happy  End  of  a  Good  Child. 
How  beautiful,  how   lovely  iu  the  child 
is  filial  affection!  a  warm  attachment  of 
children  to  tbeir  parents,  a  fondness  for 
their  society,  a  deep  devotedness  to  their 
comfort  and  interest!  It  is  a  characteristic 
trait  of  a  good  son  or  daughter;  and, 
generally,  iu  every  bad  child,  no  trait  of 
character  etands.  oat  more  promiccntly 
than  the  want  of  filial  affection.     It  is  also 
one  4  God's  commands, "and  nhe  first  one 
connected  with  a  promise,  viz.,  — "Ilonor 
(that  is,  love  and  obey)    thy  father  and 
mother,"  &c. 

We  might  write  much  on  this  important 
and  highly  iuterestiug  subject,  and  might 
relate  several   interesting   instances   that 
have   come   under   our  observation,   but 
shall  confine  ourselves  to  one  of  the  most 
recent   cases,   as  exemplifying  in  her  life 
and  death  this   "grace  of  loveliness"  in  a 
very  marked   degree.     It  was  in  the  case 
of  the  girls  of  our   little  country   village 
Sabbath-school— whose  spirit,  but  a  few 
weeks  since,  - 


"Plumed  its  wings,  and  soared  away 
To  mingle  with  the  blaze  of  day." 


Sarah   was  the   youngest  child   of    a 
large  family,  about  fourteen  years  of  age, 
a  "blooming  bud"  of  much  promise  to  her 
parents,  upon   whom  their  fondest  hopes 
were  placed.     She  was  a  child  of  a  serious 
turn  of  mind;   tiiouglitfiil— fond  of  retlect- 
ing  on  the  Divine  goodness  and  mercy — 
as  was  (Jlkrticularly  manifested  in   several 
articles   written   as  school   compositions. 
Childish  sports  and  plays  had   but  few  at- 
tractions for   her— an   attentive,    faithful 
member  of  the  Sal)l)ath-scliool.     It  was 
frequently  remarked  by  those  most  inti- 


mate with  her,  that  her  greatest  interest 
a:u!  regard  were  for  her  parents;  their  so- 
ciety,  evidently,  was  the  most  attractive 
and  interesting;  their  afflictions  and  trials 
were  hers;  her  strongest,  liveliest  sympa- 
thies wore  ever  awake  for  their  good. 

She  had  for  several  weeks  been  confined 
to  her  bed-chamber  rtiy  a  wasting  sickness; 
with  varying  yet  flattering  i>ro?pects  of  her 
recovery.    We  had  visited  her  often,  and 
had  much  conversation  with  her,  particu- 
larly about  her  much-loved  Sabbath-school. 
As  the  evening  shades  of  a  day  spent 
in  much  fatiguing  labor  were  gathering 
around,  and  the  bright  and   beautiful  sun, 
which  had   gladdened  all  nature  that  day, 
had  sunk  to  its  rest,  and  wc  were  promis- 
ing ourselves  to  follow  its  example,   after 
a  while,  and  seek  "  balmy  sleep,  tired  Na- 
ture's sweet  restorer,"  we   were  hastily 
summoned,  by  a  fond  brother,  to  tV.e  room 
of  this  young  and   patient  sufferer.     We 
found  her  sitting  in  the  large  arm  rocking- 
chair,  in  which  she  had  spent  many  weari- 
wme  tlays,  as  wdl aaaome  sleepless  nights; 
her  ever,  attentive  mother  supporting  her 
head  on  her   bosom.     Her   cheeks   were 
pale— her  pnlse  fluttering— her  breathing 
painfully  hurried— her    voice    tremulous, 
but  her  eyes  still  retaining   their  remark- 
able wonted  brightness.     She  received  us 
as  usual  witii  a  welcoming  smile,  and  told 
us  that  she   then   felt  better;   "the  poor 
turn  had  passed   away,"   but  it  was  too 
evident  that  she  was  failing,    and    fast  ap- 
proaching the  gates  of  death.     Wc   had 
taken  her  steleton  hand  in  ours,  again  en- 
deavoring to  count  the  pulse,  and  had  sat 
but  a  few  moments  by  her   side  when  she 
requested  to  be  laid  on  her  bed. 

We  retired  to   another   room,   recom- 
mending her   anxious  father  to  communi- 
cate to  her  our  convictions,  that  she  was 
dying,  that  "I^ath  bad   marked  her  for 
his  own,"  when  we  were   hastily  recalled 
to  tier  bed-side.     Finding  the  dear  child 
rapidly,  as  it   then   seemed,  sinking  into 
the  icy  arms  of  death,  we  at  once  told  her 
that  all  hopes  of  her  recovery  were  gone, 
and  that  the  Lord  was  about  taking  her 
from  this  world,  and  from    those  she  loved 
so  dearly  here  below.    As  we  spake  of 
dying,  a  cloud  passed  over  her  counte- 
nance; she  looked  sad  for  a  few  moments, 
and  the  tears  of  disappointment   filled  her 
yet  bright  eyes.     Casting  on  us  a  look  of 
mingled  desire,   and  seeming  dis^point- 
ment  and  fear,  wo  asked    Sarah,  "Do  you 
fear  to  die,  to   meet   God    in  judgment? 
Have  you,  my   child,   put  off  repentance 
until   this  hour?     Have  you  not  prayed  to 
God,  and  earnestly   sought  reconciliation 

with  him? 

At  this  she  wiped  the  fast-falling  tears 
from  her  once  fair,  but  now  pale  and  wast- 
ed cheeks,  and  with  a  smile,  replied,  "No; 
I  do  not  fear  to  die.  I  have  not  put  off 
until  this  hour  to  pray  and  to  seek  for- 
giveness and  reconciliation.  I  feel  as- 
sured I  shall  go  to  heaven  when  I  die." 

O.how  sweetly  those  words  fell  upon 
oiir  cars;  nay,  more  than  that,  upon  our 
heart!  What  then,  we  thought,  could 
cause  that  look  of  saduess? 


Siie  explahied:  "'Twas  not  the  fear  of 
death  which  made  me  weep;  bat,"  she 
chokeTfor  ultorancer  ^W  tcOTt  wa«  full, 


the  struggle  was  hard,  "it  is  to  lejye  my 
dear  mother,  she  has  been  so  kin^o  me 
—she  has  done  so  much  for  me."    Her  fa- 
ther coming  into  the  room  at  this  moment, 
"Yes,"  she  continued,  "and  ray   dear  fa- 
ther too;  I  had  only  wished   and  hoped, 
if  it  was  the  Lord's  will,   to  live  to  be  a 
comfort  to  them,   to  take  care  of  them 
when  they  grew  old.    I  did  not  ask  or 
wish  to  live  for  any  other   purpose,  for  I 
feel  that  if  I  die,  my  God  will  take  mc  to 
himself.     But  who  will  take  the  care  that 
I  would  have  taken  of  my  dear  father  and 
mother?     They    are    growing    old  now. 
But  don't  cry,   dear  father  and   mother, 
the   Lord  knows  what  is  best.     Ho  will 
take  better  care  of  you  than  I  could  have 
done,  and  when  you  die,  we'll  meet  again 
in  heaven,  and  part  no  more."' 

Again  she  repeated,  "Don't  feel  sad, 
dear  father;"  (her  whole  anxiety  seemed 
to  be  for  her  parents;)  "I  am  happy— 
your  Sarah  is  happy— i  die  happy— I  see 
angels  coming  for  me  to  take  me  to 
heaven." 

And  after  embracing  again  and  again 
-  father  and  mother,  and  brother  and  sisters, 
and,  finally,  a  dear  young  companion,  bid- 
ding her  be  a  good  girl,  to  love  God,  and  to 
live  for  heaven  and  meet  her  there,  she 
soon,  "ere  tfie  gray  dawn  had  streaked  the 
eastern  sky,"  closed  her  eyes  in  death, 
saying  yet,  as  she,  died,  "Father,  Hoiij^ 
happy— happy— h-a-p-p-y! ' 

Children,  'twas  good  to  be  there.    "The 
chamber  where  that  dear  child   met  her 
fate,  was  privileged  indeed;  quite  on  the 
verge  of  heaven."     That  fond  and  afflicted 
father   wa*  melted   into  ^ears,   while  his 
heart  overflowed  with  gratitude  aad  praise. 
At    hearing    his    moch-loved     daughter 
speak  so  confidently  of  gating  to  heaven, 
he  shouted,   "Glory  to  God!     Praise  the 
Lord!"  and  said,    "Never  mind,  my  deor 
child,  your  poor  father  and  mother;  you 
are  happy;  you'll  see  God,  and  be  a  iittlc 
angel  in  heaven;  and  soon  we'll   meet  you 
there.    Yes;  glory   to   God,   we'll  meet 
again  to  part   no  more."— Adapted  from

To  a  Praying  Little  Girl. 

You  often  say,  "  Forgive  us  oar  sins."- 
Suppose,  again,  that  you  had  offended  your 
mollier.    Your  heart  would  be  very  heavy ; 
you  would  have  no  peace.     If  at  study,  yon 
would  think  of  yonr  kind  mother's  just  dis- 
pleasure ;  and  if  at  play,  you  would  stop  and 
remember  that  no  sweet  smile  would  meet  yoo 
when  you  went  home.   Would  you  then  expect 
lier  to  pardon  you,  if  you   went  to  her  and 
said  carelessly, "  Mother,  do  forgive  me  ? '  No, 
you  could  not ;  but  you  would  go  with  tears  in 
your  eyes,  and  entreat  her  to  forgive  yoni 
you  would  remind  her  that  she  had  always  been 
kind  to  you,  and  you  would  promise  to  do  bet- 
ter in  future,  and  you  would  not»  be  happy 
until  you  were  sure  she  was  patigti  d  with  yoo^ 
Now,  ray  child,  think  of  this  the  dext  time 
you  kneel  down   to  pray;  ai.d  af-k   Grd  for 
daily  bread  wiih  as  much  confidence  thatbel 
he  will  hear  you,  as  you   have  when  you  ufkj 
your  mother.

After  having  la  our  first  and  second  num- 
bers glanced  at  Debron,  and  circumitantially 
described  the  most  worthy  object  of  antiqutty 
in  that  city,  we  will  now  give  an  account  of 
other  archaeological  remains  in  its  vicinity. 

The  inexplicable  inherent  desire  in  man  "  to 
be  gathered  unto  his  fathers" — to  have  his 
earthly  remains  deposited  beside  those  of 
his  fritnds  and  relations,  has  from  time  im- 
memorial attracted  numbers  of  piously  di.^posed 
pilgrims  to  Hebron — to  the  resting-place  of 
our  fathers,  there  to  finish  their  earthly  career, 
and  after  a  life  of  hardships  and  trouble,  fiijid  a 
i^nal  repose  near  the  spjt  where  Abra- 
f^ara,  Isaac  and  Jacob  rest.  It  appears  that 
pious  men  had  their  remains  conveyed  thither 
even  if  they  died  in  other  plac  s,  or  perhaps 
other  lands ;  for  we  read  in  Benjamin  of  Tudela 
(1160-117.3.)  "  A  lamp  burns  in  the  cave  and 
upon  the  sepulchres  continually,  both  night 
and  day  ;  and  you  see  there  tubs  filled  with 
remains  of  Israelites  ;  f  ^r  unto  this  day,  it  is  a 
custom  of  the  house  of  Israel  to  bring  thither 
their  relics  and  deposit  them  there. 
The  following  items  concerning  those  who 

are  buried  in  the  vicinity  m  ly  prove  interesting 
to  the  curioiiS  reader: 


Abner. 

A  near  relative  and  distinguished  (Jeneral 
of  the  King  of  Israel,  of  t5aul.  It  wa.s  he  who 
introduced  the  ruddy  sheph  rd  boy,  David, 
with  h\a  acrip  on  his  side,  and  the  g  ant's  head 
in  his  hand  unto  Saul — it  was  he  who  support- 
ed the  house  of  Saul  against  David,  till,  offend- 
ing Ishbosheth.the  son  of  the  former,  he  forsook 
him  and  espoused  the  cause  of  David,  in  whose 
faithful  service  he  continued,  till  he  fell  by 
the  treacherous  hand  of  Joab.  The  King  de 'ply 
lamented  the  loss  of  this  great  man.  "And 
David  said  unto  Joab,  and  unto  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him,  rend  your  garments,  gird 
yourselves  with  sack-cloth,  and  go  mourning 
before  Abner.  And  King  David  walked  be- 
hind the  bier.  And  the  King  lifted  up  his 
voice,  and  wept  at  the  grave,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple wept."  The  King  refused  to  take  food  till 
the  evening,  and  "  he  said  unto  his  servants, 
kn  )W  ye  not  that  a  Prince  and  a  grent  mm 
hath  fallen    this  diiy  in  Israel  ?"— 2  Samuel 

6:3.  .     , 

Now  his  grave  is  shown  in   Hebron,  in  the 

house  of  an  Arab  who   is   the  present    (1849) 
proprietor. 

In  spite  of  the  prohibition  of  Ibraim  Pasha 
not  to  make  any  charges  for  showing  antiqui- 
ties, the  proprietor  keeps  the  vault  under  lock

Othniel  the  son  of  Konaz  (Judgesl:13,)  the 
younyer  brother  of  Caleb,  one  of  the  spies 
sent  by  Moses  to  Canaan,  lie  displayed  his

for  which  exploit  he  was  rewarded  by  receiv- 
ing the  hand  of  his  cousin,  a  daughter  of  C<v- 
leb.  He  afterwafds  delivered  his  people  from 
the  oppression  of  the  King  of  Mesopotamia. 
His  remains  now  rest  in  peace,  in  one  of  the 
crypts  in  a  cave  at  Hebron.

(see  cut  in  No.  1,)  tradition  points  out  the 
resting  place  of  the  remains  of  the  great  Mo.ioa 
ben  Maimon,  commonly  known  by  the  name 
of  Rimt'am,  born  at  Cordova  in  Spain  in  the 
year  li;W,  died  in  1201,  of  whose  life  and  la- 
bois,  if  God  spares  us,  we  shall  speak  in  an 
early  number.  We  say  tradition  points  out 
the  s'cps  of  Machpelah  as  the  resting-place  of 
that  great  man.  However  ,  wo  will  ((uote 
hero  a  note  from  Dr.  Benish,  relative  to  this 
matter,  which  reads  a«  follows  :-- 

"Abulfaradgc  says,  that  before  his/lcath  he 
desired  his  lieirt  to  embalm  his  body,  and  to 
inter  it  by  the  lake  of  Tiberias,  where  many 
saints  reposed.  R.  Samuel  Shalam,  in  a  note 
to  Yuchasin,  [edit.  Cmcow.p.  1.11,)  is  of  the 
same  opiiron;  he  adds,  however,  that  according 
to  others  he  was  burif  d  at  Hebron,  by  the  side 
of  the  patriarchs.  On  his  torad  were  cngravi  n, 
according  to  Shalshpletb  Uakabalah,  the  words 
(Deut.  \XXIV.  8.)  *  Weeping  and  mourning 
for  Moses' "

CAZOTTB, 
Or,    PROPHECY      FUL.VILIjED. 

A    HISTORICAL    KACT. 

"'As  for  that,' then  observed  Madame  la 
Duchess  do  Grammont,  'we  women,  we  ore 
happy  to  be  counted  for  nothing  in  these  revo- 
lutions : — when  I  say  for  nothing,  it  is  not  that 
we  do  not  ulways  mix  ouiselves  up  with  them 
a  little,  but  it  is  a  received  maxim,  that  they 
take  DO  notice  of  iis,  and  of  our  sex.'  '  Your 
sex,  ladies,  will  not  prrotect  you  this  time, 
and  you  had  far  better  meddle  with  nothing, 
for  yon  will  be  treated  entirely  as  men,  with- 
out any  d  fference  whatever.'  '  But  what,  then, 
are  you  really  telling  us  of,  Monsier  Cazotfe  ? 
You  are  preaching  to  us  the  end  of  the  world.' 
'  I  know  nothing  on  this  subject :  but  what  1 
do  know  is,  that  yon,  Madame  la  Duchisse, 
will  be  conducted  to  the  scaffold,  you  and 
many  other  ladits  with  you,  in  the  cart  of  the 
executioner,  and  with  your  hands  tied  behind 
your  backs.'  '  Ah  !  I  hope  that,  in  that  case, 
I  shall  have  a  carriage  hung  with  black.'  '  No, 
madaiiio :  higher  ladi'.s  than  yourself  will  go 
like  jou  iu  the  common  car,  with  their  handi 
tied  behind  them.'  '  Higher  ladies  1  what ! 
the  princesses  of  the  blood  ?'  '  Still  more  exal- 
ted personages.'  Here  a  sensible  emo'ion  per- 
vaded the  whole  company,  and  the  counten- 
ance of  the  host  was  dark  and  lowering  : — they 
began  to  feel  that  the  joke  was  become  too  se- 
rious. Madam  de  Grammont,  in  order  to  dis- 
gipute  the  cloud,  took  no  notice  of  the  reply, 
and  contented  herself  with  saying,  in  a  careless 
tone, — '  You  gee  he  will  not  leave  me  even  a 
confessor.'  '  No,  niadame,  you  will  not  have 
one,  neither  you  nor  any  one  besides.  The 
last  victim  to  whom  this  favor  will  be  afforded 
will  be .' 

He  stopiKHl  for  a  moment.  '  Well  I  who  wi.l 
then  be  the  happy  mortal,  to  whom  this  pre- 
rogative will  be  given?'  '"Pis  the  only  one 
which  he  will  have  then  retained — and  that 
will  be  the  King  of  France.' 

"  The  master  of  the  house  rose  hastily,  and 
every  one  with  him.  He  walked  up  to  M.  Ga- 
zette, and  addressed  him  in  a  touc  of  deep 
emotion  : — '  My  dear  Monsieur  Gtjzotte,  this 
mournful  joke  has  lasted  long  enough.  You 
curry  it  too  fur,— even  so  far  as  to  dirogate 
from  the  society  in  which  you  are,  and  from 
your  own  characrer. 

Cazotte  answered  not  a  word,  and  was  pre- 
paring to  leave,  when  Madame  de  (jrammont, 
who  always  sought  to  dissipate  serious  thought 
and  to  n  store  the  lost  gayety  of  the  party,  ap- 
proached him,  saying, '  Monsieur  the  prophet, 
who  has  foretold  us  our  good  fontune,  you 
have  told  us  nothing  of  your  own.'  He  re- 
mained siknt  for  some  time,  with  downcast 
eyes.  '  Madame,  have  you  ever  read  the  siege 
of  Jerusalem,  iu  Josephus  ?'  '  Yes  !  who  has 
not  read  that !  But  answer  as  if  I  had  never 
read  it.'  '  Well,  then,  madamc,  during  the 
siege,  a  man  for  seven  days  in  succession,  went 
round  the  ramparts  of  the  city,  in  sight  of  the 
bcBiogers  and  the  besieged,  crying  unceasingly, 
with  an  ominous  and  thundering  voice,  \Vot  to 
Jtnisolem  ;  und  the  seventh  time  he  cried, 
Woe  to  Jerusalem,  woe  to  myself— and  at  that 
moment  an  enormouu  stone,  projected  from  one 
of  the  machines  of  the  besieging  army,  struck 
him,  and  dtstroyecFhim." 
"  And,  after  this  reply,  M.  Cazotte  made  his 
bow  and  retired. 

llKCHiNiiKN. — The  government  paper  con- 
tains a  list  of  ail  those  who  have  been  appoint-

4.U08BUKO.— The  number  of   Israelites  in 


thlg  city  haa  largely  incrgaged,  and  sypagogne 
and  school  are  in  a  floarishing  comfition  A 
new  institute  for  Jewish  pupils  has  been  opened 
by  Dr.  Hirshingej.  All  the  Jewish  prisoners 
bare  been  removed  from  Wurzenburg  to  Bay- 
rtuth,  where  Rabbi  Dr  Schwar  is  •a;iviug  them 
religious  instruction  on  every  Sabbath.-  The 
Rabbi  also  obtained  a  private  room,  in  the 
prison  to  be  set  apart  for  tbcm,  in  which  they 
are  allowed  to  meet  for  their  daily  prayer?. 
During  Passover  they  are  fed  three  times  a 
day  with  kosher  food,  to  the  expenses  of  which 
several  congregations,  as  those  of  Munich, 
Bamberg,  and  Furth,  contribute  their  share. 
On  Sabbaths  and  Holidays  they  *re  exempt 
from  the  usual  labor.  There  are  fifteen  Isra- 
elites in  the  prison.  The  American  Consul, 
Mr.  Obermayer,  is  said  to  have  appropriated 
a  large  sum  for  the  construction  of  a  new  and 
splendid  synagogue  at  Augsburg. — Asmonean.

cles, affected  by  Dr.  Remak,  through  his  re- 
markable invention,  the  application  of  a  con- 
stant gaivflnic  etream,  excite  universal  admi- 
ration. Within  the  last  six  weeks  he  had 
the  opportuuity  of  trying  his  method  on  two 
hundred  patients.  One  third  of  them  were 
speedily  cured  ;  another  third  are  still  under 
treatment,  most  of  whom  are  improving ;  on 
the  last  third  the  application  had  to  be  inter- 
rupted for.^  various  reasons,  not  unfrequently 
for  want  of  time.

jr  The  Fall  of  Jernsalem. 
XThe  fall  of  our  illustrious  and  happy  city 
If  as  supernatural.  The  destruction  of  the  con- 
quered was  against  the  first  principle  of  the 
Roman  policy ;  and,  to  the  last  hour  of  our 
national  existence,  Rome  held  out  offers  of 
peace,  and  lamented  our  frantic  disposition  to 
be  undone.  But  the  decree  was  gone  forth 
from  a  mightier  throne.  During  the  latter 
days  of  the  siege,  a  hostility,  to  which  that  of 
man  was  as  a  grain  of  sand  to  the  tempest  that 
drives  it  on,  overpowered  our  strength  and 
senses  ;  fearful  shapes  and  voices  in  the  air — 
visions  starting  us  from  our  short  and  trouble- 
some slci'p — lunacy  in  its  hideous  forms — sud- 
den death  in  the  midst  of  vigor  -the  fury  of 
the  elements  let  loose  upon  our  heads.  We 
had  every  terror  and  evil  that  could  beset  hu- 
man nature,  but  pistilence  ;  the  most  probable 
of  all,  in  a  city  crowded  with  the  famishing.the 
diseasetl,  the  wounded,  and  the  dead.  Yet, 
though  the  streets  were  covered  with  unburied, 
though  every  Well  and  trench  was  teeming, 
though  six  hundred  thousand  corpses  were 
fluug  over  the  ramparts,  and  lay  naked  to  the 
sun,  pestilence  came  not ;  for  if  it  had  come, 
the  enemy  would  have  been  scared  away.  But 
"tiie  abomination  of  desolation",*  the  Pagan 
standurd,  was  fixed  where  it  was  to  remaiu  an- 
till  the  plough  had  passed  over  the  ruins  of 
Jerusa'em. 

On  this  fatal  night  no  man  laid  his  head 
upon  the  pillow.  Heaven  and  earth  were  in 
conflict.  Meteors  burned  over  us — the  ground 
shook  under  our  feet —  the  volcanoes  blazed — 
the  wind  burst  forth  in  irresistible  blasts,  and 
swept  the  living  and  the  dead  in  whirlwinds 
far  into  the  desert.  Wc  heard  the  bellowingof 
the  distant  Mediterranean,  as  if  its  waters 
were  at  our  sides,  swelled  by  the  deluge.  The 
lakes  and  rivers  roared  and  inundated  the  land. 
The  fiery  sword  shot  out  tenfold  fire — showers 
of  blood  fell — thunder  pealed  from  every  quar- 
ter of  the  heavens — lightning,  in  immense 
sheets,  of  an  intensity  and  duration  that  turn- 
ed the  darkness  into  more  than  day,  withering 
eye  and  soul,  burned  from  the  zenith  to  the 
ground,  and  marked   its  track   by  forests  of 


me,  and  shattered  the  apmmits  of  the  hillfl. " 
Defence  was  untbought  of,  for  the  mortal  en- 
emy bad  passed  from  the  mind.  Our  hearts 
quaked  for  fear;  but  it  was  to  see  the  powers 
of  heaven  shaken.  AH  castaway  the  shield 
and  spear,  and  crouched  before  the  descending 
judgment. 

Wc  were  conscience-cmitten.  Our  cries  of 
remorse,  anguish,  and  horror,  were  heard 
through  the  uproar  of  the  storm.  We  howled*' 
to  caverns  to  hide  us.  We  plunge  1  into  the 
sepulchres,  to  escape  the  wrath  that  consumed 
the  living.  We  would  have  buried  ourselves 
under  the  mountains.  I  knew  ithe  cause — the 
unspeakable  cause,  and  knew  that  the  lost  hour 
*f  crime  was  at  hand.  A  few  fugitives,  aston- 
ished to  see  one  man  amongst  them  not  sunk 
into  the  lowest  feebleness  of  fear,  came  around 
me,  and  besought  me  to  lead  them  to  some 
place  of  safety,  if  such  were  now  to  be  found 
on  earth.  I  told  them  openly  that  they  were 
to  die.and  counselled  thim  to  die  in  the  hallow- 
ed ground  of  the  Temple.  They  followed  ;  and 
I  led  them  through  streets  encumbered  with 
every  shape  of  human  sufferings,  to  the  foat  of 
Mount  Moriah  ;  but  beyond  that,  we  found 
advance  Impossible.  Piles  of  clouds,  whose 
darkness  was  palpable  even  in  the  midnight  in 
which  we  stood,  covered  the  holy  hill.  Impa- 
tient, and  not  to  be  daunted  by  anything  that 
man  could  overcome,  I  cheered  my  dishearten- 
ed band,  and  attempted  to  lead  the  way  up  the, 
ascents  ;  but  I  had  scarcely  entered  the  cloud, 
when  I  was  swept  down  by  a  gust  that  tore 
the  rocks  in  a  flinty  sho.ver  around  mc. 

Now  came  the  last  and  most  wonderful  sign 
that  marked  the  fate  of  rejected  Israel.  While 
I  lay  helpless,  I  heard  the  whirlwind  roar 
through  the  cloudy  hill,  and  vapors  began  to 
revolve.  A  pale  light,  like  that  of  the  rising 
moon,  quivered  on  the  edges  of  the  horizon; 
and  the  clouds  rose  rapidly ,shaping  themselves 
into  the  forsis  of  battlements  and  towers. 
The  sound  of  voices  was  heard  within,  low  and 
distinct,  yet  strangely  sweet.  Still  the  lustre 
brightened  ;  and  the  airy  building  rose,  tower 
on  tower,  and  battleme  it  on  battlement,  in 
awe  that  held  us  mute.  We  knelt  and  gazed 
on  this  more  than  mortal  architecture,  that 
continued  rising  and  spreading,  and  glowing 
with  a  screner  light,  still  soft  and  silvery,  yet 
to  which  the  broadest  moonlight  was  dim.  At 
last,  it  stood  forth  to  earth  and  heaven,  the 
colossal  image  of  the  first  Temple — of  the 
building  raised  by  the  wisest  of  all  men,  and 
consecrated  by  the  Visible  Glory. 

All  Jerusalem  saw  the  image  ;  and  the  shout 
that,  in  the  midst  of  their  despair,  ascended 
from  the  thousands  and  tens  of  thousands,  told 
that  proud  remembrances  were  there.  But  a 
hymn  was  heard,  that  might  have  hushed  the 
world  beside.  Never  fell  on  my  ears,  never  on 
the  human  sense,  a  sound  so  majestic,  yet  so 
subduing — so  full  of  melancholy,  yet  of  grand- 
eur and  command.  The  vast  portal  opened, 
and  from  it  marched  a  host,  such  as  men  bad 
never  seen  before,  such  as  men  shall  never  see 
but  once  again— the  guardian  angels  of  the 
city  of  David.  They  came  forth  gloriously, 
but  wo  in  all  their  steps-  the  stars  upon  their 
helmets  dim — their  robes  stained — tears  flow- 
ing down  their  celestial  beauty.  "Let  us  go 
hence!"  was  their  song  of  sorrow.  "Let  us  go 
lience.'"  was  answered  by  sad  echoes  of  the 
mountains.  "Lei  us  go  hence!"  swelled  upon 
the  night  to  the  furthermost  limits  of  the  laud. 

The  procession  lingered  long  upon  the  sum- 
mit of  the  hill.  The  thunders  pealed,  and  they 
rose  at  the  command,  diffusing  waves  of  light 
over  the  expanse  (^  heaven.  The  chorus  was 
heard,  still  magnificent  nnd  melancholy,  when 
their  splendor  was  diminished  to  the  bright- 


ness  of  a  star.  Then  the  tbondera  roared 
again — the  cloady  Temple  was  scattered  on 
the  wind — and  darkness,  the  omen  of  the  grave, 
settled  upon  Jerusalem.' 


School  of  Arts  and  ProfesBions, 
at  Strasbourg. 

There  exists  at  present,  in  the  city  of  Stras- 
bourg, France,  an  Institute  ifhich,  in  point  of 
usefulness,  ranks  foremost. 

The  writer  of  this  recollects,  that  about  the 
yeer  1830,  some  philanthropic  Israelites  enter- 
tained the  idea,  that  an  example  should  be  set 
to  their  coreligionists,  ta  encourage  scien- 
tific and  mechanical  piofessions,  to  inculcate 
the  Jewish  youths,  with  the  necessity  as  well 
as  usefulness  of  other  vocations  besides  com- 
mercial pursuits,  which  till  then  seemed  to 
have  had  the  ascendency. 

The  Institute  was  styled  "Ecole  de  travail," 
Mechanical  School.  It  waa  opened  with  a  few 
adults.  Once  the  foundation  laid,  and  the 
beautiful  system  in  operation,  contributions 
flowed  in  abundantly  ;  so  that  in  a  few  years, 
it  was  thoroughly  organized,  counting  thirty 
pupils,  who  were  thus  nourished,  clad,  educated 
and  instructed  according  to  tbeinncntai  facul- 
ties or  physical  strength,  in  a  suitable  branch, 
which  he  had  to  serve  an  apprenticeship,  for 
a  term  of  three  years. 

The  discipline  was  of  the  strictest  kind. 
There  was  a  Bpecified  time  for  going  to 
and  coming  from  the  workshops.  Among  the 
trades  taught  there,  were  those  of  car- 
penters, coppersmiths,  engravers,  jewellers, 
lithographers,  printers,  painters,  saddlers,  and 
shoemakers. 

Monthly  sessions  were  held  by  the  nembers 
of  the  committee,  who  looked  into  the  minute 
reports  of  the  superintendant.  'Jhe  conduct 
and  progress  of  every  pupil  was  scrutinized 
and  watched  with  paternal  care.  On  Sabbaths 
and  holidays,  all  scholars  had  to  be  dressed  in 
uniform, and  to  consecrate  a  few  hours  to  Di- 
vine service.  The  pupils  then  took  their  meals. 

After  aoitfg  through  some  classical  studies, 
a  walk'^tside  the  city  was  taken,  when  gym- 
nastic ^aJIWses  were  performed.  In  the  sum- 
mer seMon,  (luring  working  days,  the  art  of 
SArimming  was  likewise  taught,  and  a  pleasant 
time  we  had  of  it. 

The  current  expenses  per  annum  amounted  to 
about  15,000  f.  However,  since  my  sojourn 
in  the  U.  S.  of  America,  I  have  been  advised, 
that  the  said  Institute  was  enlarged,  and  con- 
tains now  over  fifty  scholars,  it  being  a  model 
artistic  and  mechanical  inatitutinn,  for  the  im- 
provement of  Jewish  youths  throughout  Al- 
sace. The  chief  Rabbi  of  Strasbourg,  and  oth- 
er men  of  high  standing,  a' e  the  trustees. 

The  late  noble-hearted  and  generous  banker 
Louis  Ratisboue,  Pres.  of  the  Consistory,  gave 
munificent  donations  for  its  permanency,  we 
therefore  predict,  und»r  such  auspices  success 
and  prosperity  for  its  future. 

The  lion.  Mr.  Knery,  former  school  teacher, 
was  elected  in  1849,  by  the  citizens  of  Stras- 
bourg, as  member  of  the  National  Assembly.

tisers  in  this  State  and  in  the  EjsC,  is  invited 
to  the  columns  of  the  Gleaner. 


Gnor»  MuTtion  of  Makiko  a  FiRK.^In  man- 
aging  to  make  your  fires  daring  the  day,  first 
lay  on  a  shovelful  of  the  dost  and  ashes  from 
under  the  grate,  then  a  few  coals,  then  more 
ashes,  and  afterwards  a  few  more  coals,  and 
thus  proceed  till  your  grate  is  properly  filled 
placing  a  few  round  coals  in  front.  You  will 
find  that  the  ashes  retain  the  heat  better  than 
coals  alone  ;  you  will  have  less  smoke,  a  pleas- 
ant fire,  and  very  little  waste  left  at  night. 

Light  and  i^vssmsE.— Light  and  sunshine 
are  needful  for  your  healthy  Get  all  you  can  ; 
keep  your  windows  clean.  Do  not  block  them 
up  with  curtains,  plants  or  bunches  of  flowers  •' 
these  last  poison  the  air  in  small  rooms. 

FitESii  Air  is   needful  for  your  health.    As 
often  as  you  con,open  all  your  windows,  if  only 
for  a  short  time,  in  bad  weather ;  in  fine  we  i- 
ther.kcep  them  open,  but  never  sit  in  draughts 
When  you  get  up,  open  the  windows  wide,  and 
throw  down  the  bed-clothes,  that  they  may  be 
exposed  to  fresh  air  some  hours  daily  before 
they  are  made  up.     Keep  your   bed-clothes 
clean  ;  hang  them  up  to  the  fire  when  you  can. 
Avoid  wearing  at  night  what  you  wear  in  the 
day.     Hang  up  your  diy   clothes   at  night* 
Except  in  severest  weatTier,  in  gmalt" crowded" 
sleeping  rooms,  a  little  oi>ening  at  the  top  of 
the   window-sash  is  very  important  ;  or,  you 
will  find  one  window  pane  of  perforated  zinc 
very  useful.     You  will  not  catch  cold  half  so 
easily  by  breathing  pure  air  at  night.     Let  not 
the  beils  be  directly  under  the  windows.    Sleep 
ing  in  exhausted  air  creates  a  desire  for  stimu- 
lants. 

Bed-Clothes,  etc. — How  to  Treat. — The 
purity  of  feathers  and  wool  employed  for  mat- 
tresses and  cushions  ought  to  be  considered  as 
a  first  object  of  salubrity.  Animal  emanations 
may,  under  many  circumstances,  be  prejudicial 
to  the  health  ;  but  the  danger  is  still  greater, 
when  the  wool  is  impregnated  with  sweat  of 
persons  who  have  experienced  putrid  and  con- 
tagious discloses.  Bed-clothes,  and  the  wool  of 
mattresses,  therefore,  cannot  be  too  often  beat' 
carded,  cleaned,  and  washed.  This  is  a  caution 
which  cannot  be  too  often  recommended. 

It  would  be  very  easy  in  most  8ituation8,and 
very  effectual,  to  fumigate  them  with  muriatic 

gas. 

To  Clean  Looking  Glasses.— Keep  for  this 
purpose  a  piece  of  sponge,  a  cloth,  and  a  silk 
handkerchief,  all  entirely  free  from  dirt,  as  the 
least  grit  will  scratch  the  fine  surface  of  the 
glass.  First,  sponge  it  with  a  little  spirit  of 
wine,  or  gin  and  water,  so  as  to  clean  off  all 
spots ;  then,  dust  over  it  powder-blue,  tied  in 
muslin,  rub  it  lightly  and  quickly  off  with  the 
cloth,  and  finish  by  rubbing  it  with  the  silk 
handkerchief.  Be  careful  not  to  rub  the  edges 
of  the  frames. 

To  Preserve  Gilding,  and  Clean  lT.-,-It 
is  impossible  to  prevent  flies  from  staining  the 
gilding  without  covering  it ;  before  which, 
blow  off  the  light  dust,  and  pass  a  feather  or 
clean  brush  over  it,  but  never  touch  it  with 
water ;  then  with  strips  of  paper,  or  rather 
gauze,  cover  the  frames  of  your  glasses,  and  do 
not  remove  it  till  the  flies  are  gone. 

Linen  takes  off  the  gilding  and  deadens  its 
brightness  ;  it  should,  therefore,  never  be  used 
for  wiping  it. 

A  good  preventive  against  flies  is,  to  boil 
three  or  four  leeks  iu  a  pint  of  water,  and  then 
with  a  gilding-brush  wash  over  the  glasses 
with  the  liquid,  and  the  flies  will  not  go  near 
the  articles  so  washed.  This  will  not  injure 
the  frames  in  the  least.  Stains  or  spots  may 
be  removed  by  gently  wiping  them  withcottrn 
dipped  in  sweet  oil. 


To  Stop  Violent  Bleeding  from  a  Cut.— 
Make  a  paste  by  mixing  fine  floar  wiht  vine- 
gar,  and  lay  it  on  the  cut. 


tion  T  Why  infuse  into  the  young  heart  the 
dangerous  love  of  display?  Why  sow  the 
seed  that  willspring  up  into  the  baleful  plants 


To  Prevent  Wounds  from  Mortifying. — 
Springle  sugar  on  them.  The  Turks  wash 
fresh  wounds  with  wine,  and  springle  sugar  on 
them.  Obstinate  ulcers  may  be  cured  with 
sugar  dissolved  in  a  string  decoction  of  walnut 
leaves. 

Cold  or  Inflammation  ofthe  Eyes. — Mix 
a  few  bread  crumbs  with  the  white  of  an  egg, 
put  it  in  a  bag  of  soft  white  muslin,  and  apply 
it  to  the  eye.  It  will  afford  relief  in  a  few 
minutes,  and  generally  cure  in  a  day.  It  is 
best  applied  at  night,  when  lying  down. 
When  removed,  bathe  the  eye  well  with  warm 
water,  using  a  bit  of  muslin,  not  a  sponge. 

Eye  Water  for  Weak  Eyes. — Infuse  ini 
boiling  water,  till  cold,  half  an  ounce  of  poppy- 
hetjds,  and  the  same  quantity  of  chamomile 
flowers.  Strain  this  mixture  and  add  two 
tabkspoonfuls  of  vinegar,  and  one  of  brandy. 
Apply  it  warm,  night  and  morning. 

Of  Brkakfast. — Persons  of  a  delicate  con- 
stitution should  never  exercise  much  before 
breakfast. 

If  exposure  of  any  kind  is  to  be  incurred 
in  the  morning,  breakfist  should  always  be 

tible  of  infection  und  of  the  influence,  of  cold, 
miasma,  &c.,  in  the  morning  before  "eating, 
than  at  any  other  time. 

Never  go  into  a  room  of  a  morning,  where 
a  person  is  sick  with  a  fever,  before  you  have 
taken  nourishment  of  some  kind — a  cup  of 
coffee,  at  least. 

In  setting  out  early  to  travel,  a  light  break- 
fast before  starling  should  always  betaken; 
it  is  a  great  protection  against  cold,  fatigue 
and  exhaustion. 

In  boarding-schools  for  the  young  and  grow- 
ing, early  breakfast  is  an  indispeu.sable  condi- 
tion to  health.  Cnildren  should  not  be  kept 
without  food  in  the  morning  till  they  are  faint 
and  w.ary. 


Dress  and  the  Mind. 

Advice  to  Parents. 
Oh,  be  not  vain  of  porgeous  dross, 
Place  not  in  gems  thy  happiness. 

For  these  will  pass  away; 
But  cherish  virtue,  wisdom,  truth. 
These  will  adorn  thy  blooming  youth, 
And  cheer  thy  life's  decay. 
"  Train  up  a  child  in  the  way  he  should  go," 
says  the  proverb,  und   wclf  would    it   be  for 
children,  generally,  if  they  were  train  d    in 
the  way  they  should  go.     But,  alus   for  the 
weakness  of  human  nature !  parents  toi  often 
train  up  their  offspring  in  a  way  that  brings 
much  trouble  and  inconvenience  upon  them- 
selves as  well  as  upon  those  who  are  subject  to 
their  management.    To  gratify  her  own  pride 
and  love  of  display,  the  fond   mother  heaps 
finery  upon  her  little  miss,  before  she  is  of  an 
age  to  care  for  ornaments  oh  her  own  account, 
and  while  her  doll  and  baby-house  would  occu- 
py all  her  little  thoughts,  if  left  to  herself,  she 
is  taught  to  consider  a  new  and  fashionable 
dress  as  the  great  thing  to  'be  desired  ;  and  do 
but  see  how  the  little  thing  tosses  her   tiny 
head,  decorated  with  flowers  or  feathers,  how 
the  rich  frock  is  displayed,  and  the  Lilliputian 
foot  held  out,  that  strangers  may  observe  the 
delicate  slipper — how  the  curls  that  mamma  or 
nurse  has  spent  hours  in  torturing  to  their 
present  form  arc  shaking- how   the  smile  of 
gratified  vanity  dimples  the  rosy  mouth  when 
she  hears  the  whispered  praises   that  are  lav- 
ished on  her,  on  account,  most  propably ,  of  her 
I  costly  dress  1     Children,  if  goo<l-humored,  are 
always  engaging.   "  Youth  in  itself  is  beauty." 
Why  then  destroy  the  simplicity  of  the  infant 
mind,  by  the  pernicious  whisperings  of  adala- 


oT  seTWove,  prlJe  u nd  eilravagahcrr  A^^f''^- 
cious  mother  will  see  that  all  the  ornaments 
of  dress  are  worthless,  compared  with  a  culti 
vated  mind  and  a  gentle  deportment.  Neat- 
nrss  of  person  and  attire  are  highly  to  be  com- 
mended—they are  nrccssary  to  the  respecta- 
bility of  females ;  but  more  than  these  are 
"  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit." 

But  if  thiftnjudicious  display  of  dress  is  so 
objectionable  in  general,  it  is  the   more  so  if 
introduced  into  the  school,  and  much  more  so 
if  into  the  Sunday  School.    There  the  vulgar 
show  of  large  beads,  gold  bracelets,  lo.kets, 
finger  and  earrings  is,  indeed,  sinful.     In  the 
religious  schools,  poor  arid  rich  meet  together, 
and  all  d  ffertiices  and  c.ui-es  of  envy  or  discon- 
tent ought  to  be  removed  as  much  as  possible. 
Every  Sunday  School   teacher  must  have  ob- 
scrveel  wiili  what  self-complacency  the  better 
dressed  children  look  at  themiclves,  how  often 
they  display  their  trinkets,  how  often  they  play 
with  them  during  the  lesson,  to  the  annoyance 
of  the   teacher.     We,   therefore,  seriously  re- 
mind parents  that  the  love  of  dress  should  be 
studiously  and  religiously  avoided  at  all  times, 
bntespeeially  in  the  school  for  rcligio'ia  instruc- 
tion, and  the  cxanip'o  of  the  olVicers  uiid  li  uehers 
of  schools,  male  and.female,  should  be  in  strict 
conformity  to  this  principle.    "  We  once  knew 
a  teacher   whose  means  of  indulgence  wen- 
abundant,  but  who  conscientiously  abstained 
from  the  purchase  or  use  of  any  ornament  or 
article  of  dress,    which    she    believed   could 
attract  the  notice  of   her  class,  or  excite  in 
them  a  single    improper    emotion.    To  this 
point  she  had  regard  in  all  her  apparel." 

But,  on  the  other  hand,  extremes  must  be 
avoided.  Parents,  who  have  the  means,  ought 
to  dress  their  children  in  accordance  with  the 
requremen's  of  the  times  and  custom. 

As  to  clothing  for  the  poor,  we  need  not 
recommend  provisions  to  be  m  ide,  as  the  Syn- 
agogue and  the  Church  everywhere  provide 
abundantly. 

But  we  must  mention  another  class,  viz , 
those  who  arc  not  poor  enough  to  desire  char- 
ity, nor  rich  enough  to  dress  their  children 
properly.  Among  such  we  know  instances 
where  children  were  kept  at  home,  until  better 
times  would  allow  their  parents  to  dress  them 
in  a  more  befitting  manner.  To  such  we  say, 
with  Ratkes,  "  If  they  can  loiter  about  without 
shoes,  and  in  a  ragged  coat,  they  may  as  well 
come  to  school  in  that  garb  and  learn  some- 
thing good.  All  that  I  require  are  clean 
hands,  a  clean  face,  and  the  hair  combed.  If 
they   have  no  clean   linen,  let  them  come  in 

soiled." 

Some  years  ago,  a  school  in  western  Penn- 
sylvania adopted  the  following  plan  :— 

In  order  that  the  children  of  the  poor  peo- 
ple might  not  be  discouraged  from  attending 
by  the  inferiority  of  their  dress,  the  superin- 
tendent and  teachers  resolved  to  take  their 
own  children  to  school  in  the  plainest  and 
coarsest  clothes,  and  even  without  shoes  in 
the  summer,  in  order  that  their  external  ap- 
pearance might  not  bo  superior  to  that  of  the 
other  children.  It  succeeded  ;  but  the  success 
of  a  measure  does  not  always  prove  its 
expediency 


Obltaary. 

We  have  a  sad  duty  to  perform  in  announ- 
cing the  death  of  Mr.^.  Amelia  Zachariah,  wife 

parted  this  life  at  Savannah,  Ga.,  surrounded 
by  her  fnmdy,  with  whom  but  a  short  stay  was 
allowed  her  after  her  return  from  California. 

Mrs.  Zuchuriah   was  the  only   daughter  of 
the  Rev.  Kliezer  C^hen,  who  for  thirty  years 
was  raader  ta   the   Hebrew  congregation  of 
Chatham,  England.    The  early   religious  im- 
pressions received  in  youth,  were  the  faithful 
companions  and  supporters  of  our  deceased 
friend  in  her  age     A  vein  of  p'cty  ran  through 
a'l  her  actions.     She  was  a  true  and   faithful 
wife  and  companion,  to  a  husband  whom  noth- 
ing on  this  side  of  the  grave,  except   resig- 
nation to  the  will  of  G(xl,  and  the  thought  of 
an  early  meeting  again,  can  afford  a  solace   af- 
ter so  puinful  a  loss.     Her  industry  helped  to 
rear  a  numerous  f.Huily,  and  to  prepare  lor  the 
wants  of  life.     Early  in  the  morning  and   late 
at  uight,  her  thrifty  h  aid  was  plying  to  give 
"  provision  to  hei  household  and  a  task  to  her 
maidens." 

Only  th J  Sabbaths  and  Iloly-days  were  de- 
voted to  a  sacred  rest.  Oa  those  days  no 
manner  of  work  was  done.  In  her  the  mental 
and  m>ral  faculties  were  cciuully  balanced. 
Whenever  she  spoke,  "  She  opeiud  her  mouth 
in  wisdom,  and  the  law  of  kindness  was  on 
her  tongue." 

Firm  in  the  belief  of  kind  Providence  above, 
she  firmly  stood  the  tosses  of  the  waves  of  for- 
tune, thatoflatj  years  ha<l  assailed  h.  r  fragile 
frame,  and  last  at  wafted  it  into  the  harbor  of 

Eternity. 


Rkligion.— Itwas  Carroll  -who  said: 
"I  have  lived  to  ray  uinety-sixth  year  ;  I 
have  enjoyed  continued  health  ;  I  have 
been  blessed  with  great  wealth,  prosperity, 
and  most  of  the  good  things  that  the  world 
can  bestow — public  approbation,  e.stccru, 
applause  ;  but  what  I  now  look  back  on 
with  greatest  satisfaction  to  myself  is,  that 
I  have  practised  the  duties  of  my  religion. 


Important  Dlscoverlea. 

Our  celebrated  co-religioniat,  Dr.  Rvmak, 
the  same  whose  appointment  as  professor  of 
the  medical  faccully  iu  Berlin  was  rejected  by 
the  royal  government,  because  Kcmak  is  a  Jew, 
though  he  was  warmly  recommended  by  all 
scientific  men  of  Berlin  -has  justjinade  another 
discovery  which  will  make,  him  like  Dr.  J en- 
nera  benefactor  of  the  human  race.  He  haa 
discovered  a  mode  of  healing,  by  means  of  the 
galvanic  battery,  palsy  and  lameness,  caused  by 
a  sickly  contraction  of  thcmosclcs.  Another 
of  our  co-religionists,  Mr.  Berusteir— better 
known  by  the  name  of  Rebenstein— has  made 
another  important  discovery,  which  already  has 
been  patented  by  the  governments  of  Prussia 
and  Great  Britain.  It  consists  in  the  invention 
of  a  machinery,  by  means  of  which  it  is  render- 
ed practicable,  at  one  and  the  same  lime,  on 
one  electro-magnetic  wire  to  places  of  different 
desiinations  many  different  dispatches,  each  of 
which,  without  interfering  with  the  other,  will 
arrive  at  its  proper  place. 


A  Sanhedrin  In  Modern  Timea.  . 
It  is  generally  supposed  that  the  French 
sanhedrin,  convoked  by  Napoleon,  was  thcon- 
ly  one  since  the  last  became  extinct  which  made 
its  seat  in  the  Holy  Land.  Now,  this  is  a  mis- 
take. The  Jews  of  Poland  and  Russia  hid  a 
sanhedrim  down  to  the  end  of  the  sixteenth 
century.  It  consisted  of  the  four  parnassim 
of  Poland  and  of  Russia,  and  of  the  seven  chief 
Rabbis.  It  sat  in  session  at  Lubim,  between 
Purim  and  Passover  ;  and  at  Jerolavia,  in  the 
months  of  Ab  aud  Elul.  It  had  the  power  of 
appointing  judges,  who  decided  every  case  of 
minor  importauce.-'-See  book  ija-vcn  mtzooloh

CIRCULAR 

TO  OUR   FRH'.NDS  AND  AGENTS. 

Gentllmkn  : 

You  will  gather  a  sufflclcntly  precise  idea 
of  tbe  cbarQcier  and  general  plan  of  the  present 
sheet,  by  referring  to  the  prospectus  and  the  table 
of  contents  embraced  in  tliis  number.  The  want 
of  such  a  pai  er  has  long  been  felt  and  acknowl- 
edged. The  success  of  this  will  depend  largely 
upon  the  measure  of  ability  which  we  can  bring 
to  the  performance  of  our  task,  but  also,  let  us 
add,  in  a  very  great  measure  upon  your  efforts. 
If  the  plan  of  this  sheet  meet  your  approval,  and  if 
wccanrely  with  certainty  upon  your  kind  wishes 
for  its  prosperity  and  your  endeavors  to  promote 
its  circulation,  its  success  is  certain  ;  it  will  take 
rank  at  once  among  the  most  popular  and  influ- 
ential religious  journals  of  this  Slate.  We  have 
taken  the  liberty  to  transmit  to  you  several  num- 
bers of  this  our  firnt  issue,  and  would  accompany 
them  with  the  earnest  request,  that  if  circumstans 
cos  should  prevent  your  accepting  the  agency, 
which  wc  henby  tender  to  you,  you  will  confide 
the  same  to  some  suitable  person  of  your  ac- 
quaintance, who  will  be  willing  to  accept  it,  and

the  selection  you  have  thus  made.  We  would 
also  urgfc|upon  you  the  propriety  of  your  endeavor- 
ing to  secure  for  our  paper  an  extended  circulation 
among  Christians  no  less  than  among  Jews,  aa 
wc  intend  to  devote  a  large  space  in  its  columns 
to  matter  that  cannot  but  prove  interesting  to  the 
general  reader.  We  shall  allow  our  agents  the 
usual  rate  of '.ir)  per  cent  upon  all  moneys  receiv- 
ed by  them,  whether  for  subscriptions  or  adrcr- 
tisemcnts.  We  earnestly  solicit  from  all,  whether 
personally  known  to  us  or  not,  who  are  friendly 
to  the  success  of  our  enterprise,  the  communica" 
tion  of  such  interesting  items  of  intelligence  rela- 
tive to  our  people,  as  may  from  time  to  lime 
reach  them.  We  shall  thus,  we  trust,  be  enabled 
to  present  our  readers,  each  week,  with  a  summary 
of  news  that  will  prove  peculiarly  acceptable,  not 
only  to  the  members  of  our  creed  resident  in 
California,  but  also  to  our  numerous  friends  and 
relations  in  the  Eastern  States  and  in  Kuropc.

Biblical   and  Jewish  Anti«ui(ie«. 

Ab  a  repository  of  rare  and  varied  informa- 
tion upon  all  matters  relating  to  Jewish  and 
li'iblical  Antiquities,  we  shall  endeavor  to  make 
the  Gleaner  peculiarly  valuable  to  all,  whether 
Jew  or  Gentile,  who  are  interestid  in  the  study 
of  this  important  branch  of  human  knowledge.

Pll08Pi:CTUS. 

In  sub  iiitting  to  the  public  the  first  num- 
ber of  a  Periodical,  it  is  customary  to  eay  a 
few  words  relative  to  the  wants,  real  or  fancied, 
which  the  new  publication  is  intended  to  sup- 
ply, and  to  lay  down  as  it  were  a  chart  of  the 
general  jiriiieiplcs  by  which  its  future  course 
is  to  Ihj  guided.  In  accordance  with  this  usage, 
we  proceed  to  state  as  briefly  tis  possible  the 
aim  and  scope  of  the  present  publication, 
sititply  prenii.^tinj;  that  if  any  apology  be  deemed 
requisite  for  our  eiiti  vin;,'  the  already  crowded 
arena  of  public  journalism,  it  may  be  found  in 
the  fact  that,  apart  from  the  propriety  of  hav- 
ing our  principles  properly  represented  by 
a  local  organ  of  our  own,  the  Eastern  Press 
has  hitherto  paiil  so  little  attention  to  certain 
branciiea  of  ju-acticnl  utility  as  to  render  the 
cstftbli.-hmtnt  of  such  an  organ  ahn.'^t  a  mat- 
ter of  necessity,  rropcrly  to  supply  this  defi- 
ciency will  be  the  kHvdiiig  aim  of  t^te  present 
sheet,  ' 

The  Mcaseph,  the  Cf/cdncr,  Gatherer,  Defen- 
der, for  the  origiiml  has  all  these  significa- 
tions, is  intended  to  be  a  religious  and  literary 
family  paper,  devoted  to  the  general  advocacy 
of  whatever  shall,  iu  the  opinion  of  its  Editor, 


country  at  least,  his  best  and  most  influential 
ally.  The  Gleaner  will  discuss  all  questions 
having  a  direct  bearing  upon  the  education  and 
proper  management  of  our  children,  whether  in 
school  or  at  home:  always  keeping  in  view  the 
important  fact  that  the  training  of  the  moral 
facultiet,  now  in  a  measure  neglected,  should 
go  hanAin  hand  with  that  of  the  mental. 

As  the  fr:end  of  the  family,  the  Gleaner  m\l 
also  devote  considerable  space  to  articles  cal- 
culated to  promote  the  happiness  and  general 
welfare  of  every  member  of  the  household. 
Javenilc    Drparlmcnt. 

An  important  and  interesting  feature  of  our 
paper  will  be  the  Juvenile  Doparttmnt — to  the 
proper  management  ol  which  we  shall  devote 
ni'ich  care  and  thought.  Our  little  readers 
wil  1  take  up  the  Gleaner  every  week  with  the 
certainty  of  finding  two  or  three  of  its  col- 
umns especially  devoted  to  their  interests. 
To  amuse  and  instruct  them  will  be  with  us 
a  matter  of  no  secondary  importance  ;  and 
the  better  to  attain  this  two-fold  end,  wc  shall 
strive  to  convey  our  ideas  to  them  in  the  sim- 
plest and  phvincst  language  we  can  employ. 
Domcutic  Kconoiny. 

To  the  I)ci)artineiit  of  Domestic  Economy 
and  Hygiene,  we  shall  devote  as  much  space  as 
is  consistent  with  our  general  plan,  and  shall 
iu  this  connection  publish  regularly  every 
week  a  number  of  important  rules  and  receipts 

lor  the  household. 

Cirnfral  Kvw*  I{ry;ariliug  our  People  and 
liiterenlH. 

Kiich  number  of  this  sheet  will  contain  suc- 
cinct and  important  summaries  of  foreign  news 
in  relation  to  our  people  and  their  interests, 
and  wc  shall  from  time  to  time  lay  before  our 
readers  such  interesting  items  of  news  from 
our  brethren  as  may  reach  us  from  sources  and 
countries  hitherto  little  known  to  the  general 
reader. 

"We  shall  endeavor  to  render  the  Gleaner  a 
mcdum   for  the  free  interchange  of  thought 

from  whatever  source  it  may  emanate — and  its 

discussion  of  all  questions  connected    either 


this  sheet  a  welcome  visitor  at  every  fire- sideT 
a  credit  to  our  people,  and  an  honor  to  oar 
State.  We  shall  strive  so  to  blend  the  useful 
with  the  agreeable  in  our  columns,  as  that  no 
one,  whether  Jew  or  Gentile,  can  rise  from  the 
perusal  of  its  pages  without  feel  ng  that  he  has 
been  at  once  amused  and  ins'  ructed. 

In  the  momentous  crisis  tbrongb  which 
onr  system  of  theology  is  now  passing,  we  shall 
strive  to  pay  due  deference  to  the  past,  without 
however,  ignoring  the  requirements  of  the  pres- 
ent, or  failing  to  provide  for  our  existence  in 
the  future. 

We  thus  send  forth  the  Gleaner  upon  what 
we  sincerely  trust  will  prove  a  useful  ami  bles- 
sed mission,  and,  however  little  temporary  pro- 
fit or  advantage  may  accrue  to  us,  we  shall  feel 
amply  rewarded  if  in  the  end  it  shall  be  found 
to  have  advanced,  however  little,  the  cau?c  of 
piety  and  the  best  interests  of  mankii.d  upon 
earth.

1  KiNOs  18:44. 

"  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if  ye  shall  dili- 
gently he.  rken  unto  my  commandments — to 
love  the  Lord  your  God  and  to  serve  him  with 
all  your  hearts  and  with  all  your  souls.  Then 
I  will  give  you  the  rain  of  your  land  in  its  due 
season,  the  firs'   rain  and  the  latter  rain." — 

Rain  falls  but  rarely  in  Palestine,  except  in 
autumn  and  spring  ;  but  its  absence  is  partly 
supplied  by  the  very  copious  dews  which 
fall  during  the  night.  The  early  or  autumnal 
rains  and  the  latttr  or  spring  rains  are  abso- 
lutely necessary  to  the  support  of  vegetation, 
and  were  consequently  objects  greatly  desired 
by  our  forefathers.  The  early  rain  generally 
falls  about  the  beginning  of  November,  when 
the  farmer  usually  ploughed  his  corn.  It 
served  to  moisten  and  prepare  the  ground  for 
the  vegetation  of  the  seed,  after  the  long 
draught  of  the  hot  season.  If  this  rain  were 
withheld,  or  not  sent  in  due  season,  there  could 
be  no  vegetation,  nothing  could  grow.  The 
latter  rain  falls  sonittimcs  towards  the  middle 
and  sometimes  towards  the  close  of  April ;  that 
is,  a  short  time  before  tbey  gafBereJin  their 
harvest.  It  served  to  fill  the  ears,  and  ren- 
der them  plump  and  pufoct.  If  the  latter 
rain  were  withheld,  or  not  sent  in  due  season, 
that  is  before  tbcy  put  the  seed  into  the  ground, 
there  could  be  no  full  corn  in  the  ear,  and  con- 
sequently no  harvest.  These  rains,  however, 
were  always  chilly  (Ezra  x.  9,  and  Song  ii. 
11.)  and  often  preceded  by  whirlwinds  (2  Kings 
iii.  16, 17,)  that  raised  such  quantities  of  sand 
as  to  darken  the  sky,  or,  in  the  words  of  the 
sacred  historian,  to  "  make  the  heavens  black 
with  clouds  and  wind."  (1  Kings  xviii.  45.) 
The  rains  descend  in  Palestine  with  violence  ; 
and  as  whole  villages  in  the  east  arc  constructed 
only  with  palm-branches,  mud,  and  tiles  baked 
in  the  sun,  (perhaps  corresponding  to  and  ex- 
planatory of  the  uuleinpcred  mortar  noticed 
in  Ezek.  xii.  11,)  these  rains  not  un  frequently 
dissolve  the  cement,  such  as  it  is,  aud  the 
houses  fa'l  to  tbe  ground.  Very  small  cltuds 
are  likewise  the  forerunners  of  violent  storms 
and  hurricanes  in  the  cast  as  in  the  west :  they 
rise  "  like  a  man's  hand."  (1  Kings  xviii.  '14.) 
Hence,  when  the,  Prophet  Elijah  prayed  on 
Mount  Carmel  for  rain,  and  sent  his  young 
man  to  look  into  the  distant  sky,  whether  he 
could  see  any  change  in  the  clouds,  returned 
and  said  :  "  Behold,  there  ariscth  a  little  cloud 
out  of  the  sea  like  a  min's  hand,"  (like  the  hol- 
low of  the  hand  with  t'le  concave  bent  down- 
wards.) This  increasci  in  size  aud  density  ev- 
ery moment,  till  at  last  it  covers  the  whole 
sky  and  falls  down  wiih  incredible  fury. 

Bruce,  in  his  travels,  mentions  a  similar 
appearance  iu  Abyssinia: 

"Every  morning,  in  Abyssinia,  is  clear,  and 
tbe  sun  shines.  About  nine  a  small  cloud,  not 
above  four  feet  broad,  appears  in  the  east, 
whirling  violently  round,  as  if  upon  an  axis  ; 
but  arrived  near  tbe  zenith,  it  first  abates  its 
motion,  then  loses  its  form  aud  exteuds  itself 
greatly,  seeming  to  call  up  vapors  from  all  op- 
posite quarters.  These  clouds  having  attained 
nearly  the  same  height,  ruali  against  each  other 
with  great  violence,  a rl  p'lt  me  always  in 
mind  of  Elijah  foretell i eg  rain  on  Mount  Car- 
mel." 

The  text  in  Deut.  xi.l4,  tells  that,  though 
rains  are  natural  appearances,  they  still  are 
under  the  immedate  control  of  the  Author  of 
nature,  and  sent  or  withheld,  trn  his  special 
Providence  directs. 

Obligation  is  thraldom.

Tbe   Letter   of  AlaJinoiildc*   to    Rabbi   Abii. 

— ~~" ■ Tlbfioin — — — — 

"  Tinw  is  lent  us  to  be  laid  out  iii  God's 
service  to  his  honor,  and  we  cannot  be  too 
diligent  in  it,  if  we  consider  that  time  is  pre- 
cious, short,  passing,  uncertain,  irrevocable 
when  gone,  and  that  for  which  we  must  be  ac- 
countable." 

It  is,  perhaps,  for  this  reason  that  a  kind 
Heaven  dispenses  it  to  us  iu  single  separate 
moments,  by  mere  atoms — that  every  instant, 
as  it  passes,  may  admonish  us  of  the  sacred 
trust  committed  to  our  care.  This  world  is 
a  great  mart,  where  we  find  wares  of  all  kinds 
for  all  age?,  stations  and  callings.  There  are 
jewels  to  be  bought  in  exchange  of  virtue, 
toys  to  please  babies,  and  even  poisonous 
drugs,  which,  if  misapplied,  will  devour  the 
soul.  The  human  race  are  sent  to  the  mart  aa 
purchasers  ;  they  are  allowed  to  stay  here  for 
a  time  ;  tbcy  have  the  privilege,  to  a  consider- 
able extent,  to  lay  out  their  treasure  (time)  in 
what  they  like — they  are,  to  an  extent,  free 
agents.  HoTiever,  we  quote  from  tbe  Rabbis, 
Ethics,  SPC.  3  : —

"It  wero  to  bo  wished  that  ail  men  did  be- 
lieve (wliich  they  have  all  great  reason  to  do) 
that  the  consumption  and  spending  of  our  time 
will  be  tbe  great  inquisition  of  the  last  aud  ter- 
rible day  ;  when  there  shall  be  a  more  strict  in- 
quiry how  the  most  di-solute  person,  the  most 
debauched  bankrupt,  spent  his  time,  than  how 
he  spent  h^s  estat^.;  nodbi*$-it  will  then  ma- 
nifestly appear,  that  our  precious  time  Was  not 
lent  ns  to  do  nothing  with,  or  to  be  spent  up- 
on that  which  is  worse  than  nothing  ;  aud  we 
ehall  not  be  more  confounded  with  anything, 
tbatito  find  that  there  is  a  perfect  register  kept 
of  all  that  we  did  in  that  time;  and  that  when 
we  have  scarce  remembered  the  morrow  what 
we  did  yesterday,  there  is  a  diary  in  which 
nothing  we  did  is  left  out,  and  as  much  notice 
taken  when  we  did  nothing  at  all.  This  will 
be  a  sad  animadversion  '"tehen  it  is  too  late, 
and  when  probably  it  may  appear  that  the  very 
idle  man,  Ic  who  had  never  employed  himself, 
may  be  in  a  very  little  better  condition  than 
he  who  hath  been  worst  employed  ;  when  idel- 
ness  shall  be  declared  to  be  a  species  of  wicked- 
ness, an'*  doin^  nothing  to  be  the  activity  of  a 
brute." — -Clarendon 

We  sball  ill  this  number  give  an  instance 
bow  the  greit  Jewish  divine,  Maimonides, 
spent  his  time,  a^  continw,  iu  ou\  next,  how 
god!y-mi*ided  ChrVtians  dispoied  of  nat  inesti- 
mable "i-ust."

and  learn  that  men  who  do  not  mis-spend 
their  time,  iu  id'e  visits  to  houses  whither  they 
cannot  ::it.c:I-:c  God  with  them,  and  which 
will  not  Lear  tho  scrutiny  of  a  tender  con- 
science, if  they  are  not  "  popular,"  are  by  no 
means  blamable. 

The  following  extract  is  a  precious  relic,  and 
deserves  to  be  held  before  our  view.  Maimon- 
ides wrote  his  great  work,  the  Moreh  Nebou-

works,  in  Arabic.    The   learned  Bibbi  Sam-

MAIMU.S  IDES. 


uel  Eben  Tibbon  tried  to  translate  it  into  He- 
brew. At  first  he  could  not  comprehend  all 
his  favorite  author  said.  He  wrote,  therefore, 
to  Maimonides  to  say,  that  he  had  a  great^  f 
desire  to  come  to  E;^ypt,  and  personally  con- 
sult him  respecting  several  passages  in  his  cel- 
ebrated work  ;  to  which  he  sent  the  following 
very  interesting  reply  : — 

"  As  for  thy  desire  to  come  to  see  me  face 
to  face,  and  speak  with  me  mouth  to  mouth, 
thy  visit  would  assuredly  be  very  grateful  to 
me.  But  as  for  scientific  conversations,  I  shall 
have  but  very  little  time  to  spare,  as  thou 
shalt  hear.  I  live  in  Mier,  (Fostat)  and  the 
king  in  Cairo.  Early  every  morning  am  I 
obliged  to  proceed  to  the  royal  palace.  My 
visits  to  the  members  of  the  royal  family  last, 
even  when  nobody  is  ill,  till  mid-day ;  but  if 
any  member  be  ill,  I  do  not  depart  from 
thence  at  ail.  If  they  are  all  well,  I  return 
home  after  mid  day,  weary  and  languid.  I 
find  then  at  home  all  the  galleries  occupied  by 
a  waiting  sick  multitude  of  all  classes,  both 
Jew  and  Gentile,  high  and  low,  friends  and 
foes.  I  dismount  from  my  horse,  wash  my 
hands,  and  go  out  to  the  patients,  begging  of 
them  to  permit  me  a  short  time  to  take  some 
food.  Having  taken  some  refreshment,  I  ad- 
mit the  patients,  examine  into  their  ma'adies, 
write  Driscriptions  for  the  proper  cu.es,  which 
occupation  extends  two  hours,  and  even  more, 
into  the  night,  when  I  become  so  weak  that  I 
must  lie  down.  The  oonsequence  is,  that  no 
Israelite  can  have  ^y  intercourse  with  me, 
except  on  the  Sajibath  ;  on  which  day  the 
whole  congregation  come  to  me,  to  whom  I 
give  instructions  as  to  what  they  should  do 
during  the  week."      ^

A         The  Hand  that  Saves  Ua. 

/  Two  painters  were  employed  to  fresco 
Hhe  walls  of  a  cathedral.  Both  stood  on 
a  nido  scaffolding,  constructed  for  the  pur- 
pose, some  forty  feet  from  the  floor. 

One  of  them  was  so  intent  upon  his 
work  that  he  became  wholly  ab.sorbed, 
and,  in  tidmiration,  stood  off  from  the  pic- 
ture, gazing  at  it  with  iutcuse  delight. 

Forgetting  where  he  was,  he  moved 
back  slowly,  surveying  critically  the  work 
of  his  pencil,  until  he  had  neared  the  odgo 
of  the  plank  on  which  he  stood.  At  this 
critical  moment  his  companion  turned  sud- 
denly, and,  almost  paralyzed  with  iiorror, 
beheld  his  imminent  peril ;  another  instant, 
and  the  enthusiast  would  be  precipitated 
upon  the  pavement  beneath.  If  ho  spoke 
to  him,  it  was  certain  death  ;  if  he  held 
his  peace,  death  was  equally  sure.  Sud- 
denly he  regained  his  presence  of  mind, 
and  seizing  a  wet  brush,  flung  it  ag.iiust 
the  wall,  spattering  the  picture  with  un- 
sightly blotches  of  coloring. 

The  painter  flew  forward,  and  turned 
upon  his  friend  with  fierce  upbraidings, 
but,  startled  at  his  ghastly  face,  he  listen- 


ed to  his  recital  of  danger,  looked  shudder- 
ing over  the  dread  space  below,  and  with 
tears  of  gratitude  blessed  the  hand  that 
saved  him. 

Just  so  we  sometimes  get  absorbed 
upon  the  pictures  of  the  world,  and,  in 
coutemplating  them,  step  backwards,  un- 
conscious of  our  peril,  when  the  Almighty 
in  mercy  dashes  out  the  beautiful  images, 
and  draws  us,  at  the  time  wc  arc  com- 
jdaiuingof  his  dealings,  into  Ills  outstretch- 
ed arms  of  comp.ission  and  love.  X 

Answer  Your  Own   Prayera. 

Id  the  vicinity  of  B lived  a  poor 

bat  industrious  man,  depending  for 
support  upon  his  daily  labor.  Ilis  wife 
fell  sick,  and  not  being  able  to  hire  a 
nurse,  he  was  obliged  to  confine  himself  to 
thvj  sick  bed  and  ftimily.  llis  means  of 
support  being  thus  cut  off,  he  soon  found 
hiftseff  ift^  need:  Having  a  wealthy  neigh- 
bor near,  he  determined  to  go  and  asB\ 
for  two  bushels  of  wheat,  with  a  promise 
to  pay  as  soon  as  his  wife  became  so  much 
better  that  he  could  leave  her  and  return 
to  his  work.  Accordingly  he  took  his 
bag,  went  to  the  neighbor's,  and  arrived 
while  the  family  were  at  luoruiiig  prayers. 
As  he  sat  on  the  door-atonc,  he  heard  the 
man  pray  very  earnestly  that  God  would 
clothe  the  naked  and  feed  the  hungfy. 
The  prayer  concluded,  he  stepped  in  and 
made  known  his  business,  promising  to  pay 
from  the  avails  of  his  first  labors-  The 
farmer  was  sorry  he  could  not  accomodate 
him,  but  he  had  promised  to  lend  a  large 
sum  of  money,  aud  he  presumed  neighbor 
A.  would  let  him  have  it. 

With  a  tearful  eye  and  a  sad  heart, 
the  poor  man  turned  away.  As  soou  ns 
he  had  left  the  house,  the  farmer's  little 
son  stepped  np  and  said — 

"Father,  did  you  not  jiray  that  God 
would  clothe  the  naked'  feed  the  hungry, 
relieve  the  distressed,  and  comfort  mourn- 
ers?" 

"Yes;  why?" 

"Because,  father,  if  I  had  your  wheat  I. 
would  answer  your  prayer." 

It  is  needless  to  add  that  the  Christian 
father  called  back  his  suffering  neighbor, 
and  gave  him  as  much  as  he  needed. 

Now,  Christian  reader,  do  you  auswer 
your  own  prayers?

sincerity.  What  is  it  but  ttuth,  in  the  inward

Theeo  were  twenty  deaths  in  the  city  last 
Aveek,  oicveu  of  which  were  men,  three  women 
and  six  children.  Can  any  other  city  in  the 
world  of  like  size  show  such  a  record  of  health  , 
Wiiat  volumes  of  argument  does  this  fact  con- 
tain in  favor  of  our  climate  ;  for  to  the  climate 
and  not  to  the  condition  of  our  city,  or

clerk  were  allowed  to  visit  Moscow  on  busi- 
ness. Wri  learn,  also,  that  Jews  are  not  allow- 
ed to  live  in  the  interior.  Arrived  in  the 
ancient  capital,  he  found  numbers  of  Jews  who 
noniiniiUy  received  baptism  to  be  allowed  to 
live  there.  They  were  quite  astonished  to 
hear  that  a  Jew  was  allowid  to  stay  in  the 
capital ;  for  foreign  Jews  are  not  even  iK-rmit- 
ted  to  go  there  ;  while  Russian  subjects,  how- 
ever, may  go  there,  but  are  only  p' rraitted  to 
stay  a  fortnight,  and  are  obl^ed  to  live  in  a 
kind  of  hotel,  kept  by  a  Gentile,  who  has  on 
the  premises  a  Shoehct  ami  Chasan,  also  a 
Synagogue.  We-  must,  however,  add  that 
these  rigorous  laws  of  exclusion  against  the 
Jews  ar^e  enforced  with  less  severity  since  the 
death  of  the  late  Czar. 

At  St.  Peterburgh,  this  gentleman  found  a 
large  number  of  Jewish  soldiers  in  the  garri- 
son. They  have  four  Synagogues,  one  in  each 
of  the  four  principal  barracks.  He  visited 
the  -largest,  and  found,  in  a  small  room 
adjoining  the  Synagogue,  in  thi  belh  hamid- 
rush,  a  teacher  who,  of  course,  was  a  soldier, 
engaged  in  instructing  eighteen  boys.  They 
just  studied  the  Bible  with  the  commentary  of 
Rashi.  The  teacher  appeared  exceedingly 
dejected  ;  not  so  the  Rabbi,  likewise  a  soldier, 
chosen  by  his  comrades  from  their  midst,  and 
who  enjoys  the  rank  of  an  officer  in  virtue  of 
office,  who  seemed  in  his  uniform  quite  a  jolly 
good  follow.  They  have  also  a  Chasan,  who 
is  likewise  exempted  from  service. 

He  visited  the  Synagogue.  It  is  a  room 
large  enough  to  accommodate  1,000  worship- 
pers. He  counted  fifteen  scrolls  of  the  law, 
and  the  Jewish  soldiers  had  managed  to  buy 
from  their  own  means  two  sets  of  silver  orua- 
nunts  for  the  scrolls. 

Wishing  to  visit  Moscow  as  a  Jew,  he  ap 
plied  for  permssion  to  the  police,  but  was  rc- 
lused,  as  being  contrary  ta^law.  At  the  min- 
istry, his  application  met  with  the  same  fate. 
He  now  had  recourse  to  the  highest  authority 
in  these  matters— the  military  governor  of  the 

capital. 

Jkuusalkm.— We  regret  to  learn  that  ignor- 
ance at  that  place,  as  it  did  in  the  time  of 
Wesley,  and,  some  years  ago,  in  Prussia,  trios 


to  crush  the  Infant  School,  lately  established 
at  Jerusalem,  by  Dr.  Frankel— thinking  all 
¥now1edge7eicept  CESt  oTaeTilmua^iilQd  the 
Rabbins,  contrary  to  religion. 

France— In  this  country  efforts  are  being 
made  towards  the  amalgamation  of  the  Ger- 
man and  Portuguese  Minhagim  into  a 
French  Minhag.  The  Committee  appointed 
for  that  purpose  proceed  in  the  proper  spirit. 
The  vulgar  pronunciation  of  tlie  German  and 
Polish  Jews,  now  used  among  all  but  the  Por- 
tuguese, is  to  be  substituted  by  the  more 
correct  Portuguese  mode  of  reading. 

A  magnificent  temple  is  in  process  of  erec- 
tion in  the  central  part  of  Paris. 

In  that  country,  as  elsewhere,  the  progres- 
sive party  gain  continually  more  ground.  We 
are  glad  to  hear  that  those  men  who,  for  yesrs, 
have  devoted  their  energies  for  the  ameliora- 
tion of  our  people,  and  whom  the  ignorant 
hyperorthodoxy  has  sligmatiaed  as  newlight- 
ocraey,  are  now  honored  with  the  confidence  of 
the  Electoral  bodies  of  the  Haut  Rhin.  Messrs. 
Lanz  and  Manbeiraes  received  lately  almost  an 
unanimous  vote.  The  number  of  votes  in 
their  favor  never  before  amounted  to  such  a 
height. 

tUHBTiLrTS.— -Tire  Tflbrts  of^he  churitablo 


'Rabbi  I^vy  have  been  crowned  with  the  ut- 
most success.  Over  50,000  francs  have  been 
subscribed  towards  the  erection  of  a  Jewish 
Hospital  and  a  House  of  Refuge  for  o'd  peo- 
ple. The  names  of  many  Christians  are  on 
the  list  of  subscribers. 

PosEN.— In  relation  to  the  Jews  of  that 
province,  we  read,  in  a  late  Missionary  report, 
that  they  obtain,  generally  spenking,  a  much 
better  education  in  the  schools  upder  Prus- 
sian laws  and  regulations,  than  they  would 
enjoy  in  most  other  countries,  and  are  thus 
prepared  to  fill  any  situation  in  life  which  may 
offer  itself.  Jews,  born  in  the  duchy  of  Posna, 
po.-sess  no  small  share  of  that  influence  which 
the  Jews  of  Prussia,  generally  speaking,  now 
exercise,  not  only  over  their  own  nation  all 
over  the  world,  but  also  over  the  weal  and 
woe  of  all  the  nations  of  the  earth. 

The  Province  of  Posen  has  furnished  a  good 
number  of  names  honorably  known  in  Israel ; 
among  others  Dr.  Stern,  formerly  of  Berlin, 
Berlin,  now  of  Frankfort,  whose  work  on  Ger- 
man grammar  ranks  among  the  first  of  that 
branch,  and  whose  lectures  on  the  principles  of 
Judaism  produced,  in  1844,  a  great  sensation 
in  Berlin,'  is  a  native  of  the  province  of  Posen 
So  is  Dr.  Holdheim,  of  Berlin  ;  Dr.  Levinson, 
Rabbi  of  Rotterdam.  Ollendorff,  the  author  of 
the  German,  English,  French  and  Spanish 
grammars,  is  a  native  of  Rawiez.  Dr.  Gratz, 
the  learned  author  of  the  History  of  the  Jews, 
now  one  of  the  professors  of  the  Rabbinical 
Seminary  of  Breslau,  and  two  of  the  Rabbis 
of  the  United  States,  named  in  the  list  in 
No.  2  of  the  Gleaner,  are  natives  of  Krotozein,. 
Kosten  and  Rawitz,  in  the  province  of  Posen. 
Dr.  Furst,  the  great  Oriental  scholar,  (form- 
erly editor  of  the  Orient)  the  editor  of  one  of 
the  best  Hebrew  Lexicons,  and  of  the  gigantic 
Concordance  of  the  Hebew  Bible,  he,  too,  is 
a  native  of  that  province. 

Bkeslau.— The  Rabbinical  Seminary  of  this 
city  flourishes  beyond  the  most  sanguine  ex- 
pectations. The  teadiers' department  is  well 
attended,  and  will  scud  forth  able  teachers  in 
a  very  short  time.

Jewish  Senators.— Besides  the  Hon.  P. 
Philips,  of  Alabama,  mentioned  in  our  fi^.^t 
number,  we  may  name  three  more  Hebrew 
Senators,  viz. :  Mr.  Philips,  of  Philadelphia, 
Mr.  Yulee,  of  Florida,  and  Mr.  Benjamin,  of 
Louisiana. 


Oerman  "Real-Schools." 
The  German  child  at  six   years  of  age 
^nttrs   ihQ     so-called    Penplek    School 
( Volksschule)  or,  in  cities,  Burgher  School. 
This  school  covers  the  gronnd  occupied, 
both  by  our  Primary  and  Grammar  Schools 
and  is  intended  to   give  to  the  children  of  ^ 
the  lower   classes — for   we  must   always 
bear  in  mind  the  European  distinctions  of 
rank— all  the  schooling  they  will  receive. 
The  coarse  of  instruction  includes  the  fol- 
lowing subjects  :— Religion  and  morals  ; 
exercises  in   thought,  usually   connected 
with  the  study  of  the  mother  tongue  ;  ex- 
ercises in   orthography   and   composition, 
and  in  elementary  book-keeping  bs  far  as 
is  necessary  for  the  wants  of  small  trades- 
men  and   farmers ;    arithmetic     through 
fractions,  with  the  tables  of  weights  and 
measures;   and    for    advanced   scholars, 
wherever  possible,   the  elements  of  geom- 
etry.    Besides  this,  a  knowledge  is  obtain- 
ed of  the  most  remarkable  of  the  useful  or 
injurious  productions  of  nature  belonging 
to  his  own  country,  and   of  the   more  re- 
markable ones  belonging  to  foreign  lands, 
and  a  general  idea  of  the  systems  of  clas- 
sifications in  Natural   History  ;   a  kiwwl- 
edge  of  the  principal  phenomena  of  nature, 
and  the  laws  by  which  they  are  governed, 
-iH«!*tf*ted  Uy  simple  cxpcrimtuts,  and  a 
rudimentary  knowledge  of  astpoiiomy  and 
the  reckoning  of  time  ;  historical  and  geo- 
graphical knowledge,  with  special  reference 
to  the  pupil's  own  country  ;  popular  physi- 
ology, and  some  knowledge  of  the  faculties 
of  the  mind,  together  with    some  instruc- 
tion iu  regard  to  forms  of  government  and 
the  elements  of  law  ;  explanation  of  foreign 
terms  of  most  frequent  occurrence  (as  iu 
some  degree  a  substitute  for  instruction  in 
foreign  languages)  and   a  general  view  of 
trade,  commerce,    and  the  mechanic   arts. 
Besides  this,  instruction  in  singing,  writing, 
and  drawing,  reading  and  declamatron,  and 
simple  gymnastics  ;    all  this  not  of  conr.se 
together,  or  at  once,  but  in  various  courses 
extended  over  the  period  of  eight  years. 

We  have  copied  this  list  from  a  work  of 
authority.  To  what  extent  a  thorough 
instruction  iu  all  these  branches  is  realized 
iu  practice,  we  have  no  means  of  knowing  ; 
but  probably,  owing  to  the  superior  educa- 
tion of  German  schoolmasters,  to  a  much 
greater  extent  than  a  similar  scheme  would 
be  in  this  country,  and  much  better  in 
some  of  the  states  of  Germany  than  in 
others. —  The  Massachusetts  Teac/icr. 


Entomology. — Professjr  Aga^siz  says  that 
more  than  a  lifetime  would  be  necessary  to 
enumerate  the  various  species  of  insects  and 
describe  their  app^  arance.  Meiger,  a  German, 
collected  and  described  six  hundred  species  of 
flies  which  he  collected  in  a  distance  of  ten 
miles  circumference.  There  have  been  collect- 
ed in  Europe  twenty  thousand  species  of  insects 
preying  on' wheat.  In  Berlin,  two  profes.sors 
are  engaged  in  collecting,  observing,  and  de- 
scribing insects  and  their  habits,  and  already 
they  have  published  five  large  volumes  upon 
the  insects  which  attack  forest  trees.

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER. 


I  tnwftri^  )ipr- 


The  One   Sin. 

A  spirit  passed  bciorc  my  face  :  the  hair  of  my 
(lesli  stood  np  ;  it  stood  still,  bull  could  not  dis- 
cern llie  form  tin  rcof  :  an  ima(,'c  was  Ijcforc  mine 
eyes,  tliere  w^  silence,  and  I  licard  a  Yoice.  — 
Jou. 

My  bflovnl  child,  if  you  wish  to  hiivc 
res'  in  heuvtr,  avoid  even  one  sin.  Millions 
of  souls  nre  ruined  by  one  sin.  Li&tea  to  the 
f-.iHi.nviTij  story: 


A  poor  widow  liv.d  in  one  of  the  back 
towna  of  Maine.  llcr  husband  left  her  witli 
IV  gniall  patdi  of  ground,  a  one-story  house,  (as 
t  is  there  ca'Kd.)  aud  two  or  three  children. 
The  widow  supported  these  clii'dren  by  spiii- 
uiiiR  flax  lor  the  wives  of  the  neighboring  farm- 
ers. 1 1  niuy  well  be  conceived  that  her  means 
were  limited— that  the  utmost  frugality  existed 
in  tlif  little  household,  andlhut  the  tone  of  the 
family  might  have  been  of  a  saddened  charac- 
ter likely  to  operate  upon  the  nerves  of  a  sen- 
sitive child.  Accordingly  we  find  the  young 
e.^l  to  have  one  of  those  beautiful  beings  that 
come  to  i^laJJeii  an  earthly  house  for  a  while, 
and  the;)  depart,  leaving  it  desolate,  lie  was 
remarkable  for  his  ingtnuouBncss,  beauty,  and 
those  ideal  tastes  which  we  are  apt  to  think 
arc  developed  only  under  refined  and  elegant 
associations,  lie  was  in  fact  the  tenderly 
eand-for  Benjamin  of  the  family,  and  yet  with 
a  nature  to  fine  that  indulgence  did  not  injure 

him. 

It  happened  at  one  time  that  the  widow  re- 
ceived a  sum  of  money  for  her  labor,  one  piece 
of  which  was  a  bright  silver  two-shilliugs 
worth  twenty-five  cents.  Small  as  was  the 
amount,  eviry  penny  was  needful  in  the  house- 
hold, and  was  husbanded  with  care.  Sudden- 
ly, to  the  sinpr^-ennd  grief  of  the  mother,  the 
bright  i)it('e  ilisuppeared  ;  and  from  the  ap- 
piarai  c  •  of  the  child,  who  was  too  iugouuoiis 
to  deceive  adroitly,  and  at  the  same  titnc  tuo 
young,  being  only  abtmt  four  years  of  age,  she 
susp.:eled  hii.i  to  have  purloined  it.  She 
r|Ui'<t;oi>ed  him  closely  :  he  turned  very  p;rle, 
but  denied  all  knowledge. 

'I'liis  he  reiterated  with  so  mnch  appearance 
of  disttUJS,  that  the  matter  was  allovY,ed  to 
dr,.p  ;  but  at  the  same  time  the  little  creature 
gn  w  pale,  silent,  and  in  a  few  days  died.  The 
widow  \\.i\A  horror-struck— she  feared  she  had 
wroitg'  d  the  child  and  caused  his  death.  In 
the  exci  ss  of  lier  grief,  she  spoke  openly  of 
hu' fuuU  to  her  neighbors,  and  was  wc'.l-nigh 
incoiisulab'.e,  for  all  know  there  is  nothing 
more  'tirturing  than  remorse,  and  nothing 
which  time  to  retolutdy  refusis  to  assuage. 

A  few  nights  after  its  deeea.sc,  as  she  lay 
wci'ping,  the  child  .=eemul  to  stand  in  the  cen- 
tre of  the  room,  not  lookii>g  at  herself,  but  as 
if  troubled  and  irresolute  ;  at  length  it  stooped 
down  and  put  its  little  hand  through  an  aper- 
ture or  "  knot  hole"  iu  the  rough  boards  of  the 
Hoor,  lor  the  house  was  unfin  shed  the  rafters 
and  walls  boing  all  visible  in  their  rough  state 
—aud  the  room  but  scantily  furnished.   When 


self  and  was  done. 

The  next  night  she  saw  the  same  appear- 
ance. The  third  night  she  resolved  to  rise, 
and  see  if  the  child  would  speak  to  Iter.  She 
did  so  ;  but  when  she  approached  the  spot, 
nothing  was  visible.  She  pondered  the  mat- 
ter in  her  miod  long  and  painfully,  and,  upon 
the  first  appearance  of  light,  intent  to  learn 
uU  that  could  bo  learned  in  ri-gurd  to  this 
mysterious  visitation,  she  lifiid  the  board  of 
the  floor,  and  there,  directly  undtr  the  "  knot 
hole,"  was  tbe  lost  piece  of  silver. 

The  poor  child,  inge.iuous  in  nature,  true  in 
soul,  had  lied  with  the  lips,  while  every  nerve 
and  fibre  in  i's  being  had  pleaded  and  spoken 
truth  even  to  death.  The  contest  had  been 
too  much  for  it,  and  that  which  was  perishable 
had  yielded  to  the  strife.  Tliere  is  a  terrible 
pathos  in  the  incident,  simple  as  it  is.  The 
image  of  the  beautiful  but  fallen  child,  hiding 
its  purloined  treasure  in  this  child-like  manner, 
and  going  in  secrecy  ai;d  dread  to  gloat  over 
it :  and  then,  when  death  had  closed  the  con 
test  between  its  beet  and  weaker  nature,  the 
spirit  rcturniug  peuittntly  to  hover  over  the 
"pTaiccbf  its  o/ie.sm,  that  it  niTght  "cu 
stricken  mother  of  the  pangs  of  remorse^ — 
There  is  a  consistency  and  beauty  in  the  tale, 
a  siiuplentss  and  truth  in  its  texture,  such  as 
belongs  to  a  fact,  rather  than  an  invention.  It 
is  one- of  those  things  we  would  like  to  be- 
lieve.

The  Praying  Little  Girl. 
Such  a  little  girl  once  asked  how  she  could 
pray  with  the  heart,  as  one  had  told    her  she 
must.     I  will  tell  her  how,  but  I  must  ask  her 
one  question,  too.     What    are  some  of  the 
things  you  pray  for?     You  often  say,  "  Oive 
us  our  dady   bread."     Now   suppose  you  had 
just  returned  from  school  very  hungry,  what 
.would  you  do  ?     You    would  go  at   once  to 
your  mother  and   ask  her   for    bread.    You 
wotdd  ask,  belitving  that  she  would  give  it  to 
you,  because  she  had   done  so  often   before; 
and  you  would  mean,  actually  mean,  ihiuk  of, 
feel,  sincerely  wish,  for  what  you  ask.     If  you 
merely  ask,  without  wishing  at  all  to  get  what 
you  i\^k  for,  what  horrid  mockery,  what  a  sin, 
it  would  be!  it  would  be  lying  to  your  mother. 
And   how  much  greater  must  be  the  sin   to 
•speak  before  Uod,  without  thinking  what  you 
say,  or  without  meaning  what  you  ask  !  Never, 
my  dear  child,  do  so.     Bnt  as  yoii   in  gen- 
eral ask  of  your  patents,  and  niean  it ;  in  the 
name  way  you   should  ask  your  heav.  nly  Pa- 
rent, not  only  for  food,  but  for  protection  and 
life.

BIRTHS 


Janosry  31st,  tlie  wife  of  II.  Myers,  of  a  son. 


VIARBIED. 


A  Touching  Scene. 
A  French  paper  says  that  Lucille  Rom?,  a 
pretty  girl  with  blue  eyes  and  fair  hair,  poorly 
but  neatly  clad,  was  brought  before  the 
Sixth  Court  of  Correction,  under  the  charge 
of  vagrancy. 

"  Does  any  one  claim  you  ?"  asked  the  mag- 
istrate. 

"  Ah  I  my  good  sir,"  said  she,  "  I  have  no 
longer  any  friends  ;  my  father  and  mother  arc 
dead — I  have  only  my  brother  James,  but  he  is 
as  young  as  I  am.  Oh,  sir  !  what  can  he  do 
for  me  ?" 

"  The  Court  must  send  you  to  the  House  of 
Correction." 

"Here  I  am,  sister — here  I  am!  do  not 
fear  !"  cried  a  childish  voice  from  the  other 
end  of  the  court.  And  at  the  same  instant,  a 
tjy  Tfrtn  "tt"  iivtsly  couuleuutioe,  iiiUf  ICu 
forth  from  amidat  the  crowd,  aud  stood  before 
the  judge.  '' 

"  Who  are  you  ?"  said  he. 
"  James  Rome,  the  brother  of  this  poor  little 
girl." 
"  Your  age  V 
"  Thirteen  ?" 

"  And  what  do  you  want?" 
"I  come  to  claim  my  Lucille." 
"  But  have  you  the  means  of  providing  for 
her?" 

"  Yesterday  I  had  none,  but  now  I  have. 
Don't  be  afraid,  Lucille." 
"  0,  how  good  you  are,  James  !" 
"  Well,  let  us  sec,  ray  boy,"  said  the  magis- 
trate ;  "  the  court  is  di.-posed  to  do  all  that  it 
can  for  your  sister.  But  you  must  give  us 
some  explanation." 

"  About  a  fortnight  ago,  sir,"  continued  the 
boy,  "  my  poor  mother  dit  d  of  a  bad  cough, 
for  it  was  very  cold  at  home.  We  were  in 
great  trouble.  Then  I  said  to  myself,  I  will 
become  an  artisan,  and,  when  I  know  a  good 
trade,  I  will  support  my  sister.  I  went  ap- 
prentice to  a  brushinaker.  ilvery  day  I  usetl 
to  carry  her  half  my  dinner,  and,  at  night,  1 
took  her  secretly  to  my  room,  and  she  slept  on 
my  bed,  while  I  slept  on  the  floor.  But  it 
appears  she  had  not  enough  to  eat.  One  day 
she  begged  on  the  BoulO'vard,  and  was  taken 
up.  When  I  heard  that,  I  said  to  myself. 
Come,  my  boy,  things  eannot  last  so ;  you 
mu,-t  find  something  better,  1  soon  found 
a  good  place  where  I  am  lodged,  fed  and 
clothed,  and  have  twenty  francs  a  month.  I 
have  also  found  a  good  woman,  who,  for  these 
twenty  francs,  will  take  care  of  Lucille,  and 
teach  her  needlework.    I  claim  my  sister." 

"  My  boy,'  said  the  judge,  "  your  conduct  is 
very  honorable.  However,  your  sister  cannot 
be  set  at  liberty  till  to-morrow." 

'•  Never  mind,  Lucille,"  said  the  boy,  "  I 
will  come  and  fetch  you  early  to-morrow." 
Then  turning  to  the  magistrate,  he  said,  "  I 
may  kiss  her,  may  I  not,  sir?" 

He  then  threw  himsi  If  into  the  arms  of  his 
sister,  and  both  wept  warm  tears  of  af- 
fection. *

Editor   Gleaner — Rev.    Sir: — Oh,    that 
Voice  !  how  modest,  how  true  to  itself ! 

Having  the  interest  of  Religion  at  heart, 
and  thinking  it  a  duty  to  discountenance  all 
ira[K)sition3  that  may  be  calculated  to  pre- 
judice her  cause,  1  could  not  be  indifferent  to 
see  the  opinion  of  an  eminent  Theologian,  iu  re- 
lation to  a  certain  paper  publisned  here  under 
the  mcxlest  came  of  "  The  Voice  of  hrael," 
perverted  from  its  inequivocal  meaning,  and 
the  condemning  opinion  pronounced  by  that 
divine— the  only  one  in  Israel,  who  thought 
fit  to  utter  an  opinion  as  to  the  contents  and 
tendenTJtes  of  tire  Vokb,  (the  ReT.—Brs.  Wise 
and  Lecser  merely  rjuole  some  news  items 
from  its  columns,  otherwise  withholding  their 
opinion  and  greelinjr,  at  the  first  appearance 
of  it,) — misrepresented  by  the  editor  of  the 
Voice,  and,  in  the  face  of  truth  and  a  reading 
public,  turn  the  condemnation  into  "  a  com- 
plimentary greeting."  This  "barefaced"  insult 
offered  to  our  people,  though  bnt  by  a  publi- 
cation as  the  Voice  impelled  me  to  address 
the  communication  below,  to  its  editor. 

On  presenting  the  same  to 

aud  on  asking  whether  he 

would  give  it  a  publication  in  the  Voice,  he 
cleverly  replied  "  when  it  will  be  there,you  will 
see  it."  Getting  hold  of  the  Voice,  issued 
Friday  last,  we  looked  over  to  find  either  our 
own  article,  or  at  least,  an  apology  of  the  editor 
to  the  public  for  its  non-appearance;  but 
nothing  was  to  be  found. 

I,  therefore,  respectfully  submit  this  to  you; 
and  by  your  known  zeal,  for  religion  and  truth 
hope  that  you  will  give  it  a  space  in  the  col- 
umns of  the  Gleaner

COMMUNICATED  TO  THE  *'  VOICE  OF  ISRAEL" 

In  number  xvi.  of  your  paper  dated  Jan.  23 
you  state  to  the  public,  that  "  A  very  compli- 
I  mentary  and  friendly  greeting  "  was  extended 
to  you  by  Dr.  Einhorn  of  Baltimore,  the  learn- 
Editor  of  the  "  Sioai, "  on  the  appearance  of 
your  Voice.  Since  the  misapprehension  is  of 
too  flagrant  a  nature,  probably  owing  to  your 
want,  of  knowledge  with  the  German  idiom. 
And  since  the  only  aim,  of  your  publication, 
can  be,  but  to  see  matteri  and  opinions  stated 
correctly,  I  hope  you  will  willingly  do  justice 
to  the  opinion  of  a  gentemao  of  snch  eruditon 
as  Dr.  Einhorn,  and  to  yourself  by  giving  the 
lines  in  question,  in  full.  We  therefore  for  just- 
ice sake,  subjoin  a  literal  translation,  for  insertr 

ion  in  the  Voice. 

Respectfully,  E.  B. 

"  San  Francisco.  Since  Oct.  10,  there  ap- 
pears in  that  city,  a  Jewish  weekly  paper,  by 
the  name  of  "  i  he  Voice  of  Israel,"  under  the 
editorship  of  the  Rav.  Bien.  Two  numbers  arc 
now  betore  us.  As  yet,  but  little  can  be  said 
of  its  contents.  The  tendency,  of  advocating 
the  political  rights  of  the  Jews,  we  must  decid- 
edly deprecate  as  pernicious,  on  the  ground  of 
the  Union.  As  lo  its  religious  aim,  that  paper 
sems  to  be  willing  to  occupy  a  neutral,  or  to  a 


The  present  ContSltlon  of  the  Jews. 

This  curious  race   of  people,  marked  by 
characteristic  differences  which  have  not  been 
effaced  since  their  overthrow  as  a  nation,  have 
within  the  last  half  century  greatly  advanced 
in  their  social  position.  The  increasing  liberal- 
ity of  the  age  has  relieved  them  from  many  of 
the  disabilities  under  which  they  have  lal)ored 
for  ages.    In  England,  a  Jew  is  another  person 
from  what  he  was  in  the  time  of  Richard  the 
First,  or  even  George  the  First.    The  Lord 
Mayor  of  London  is  a  Jew,  and  so  are  some  of 
the  members  of  Parliament.    In  1 833,  the  first 
Jewish  lawyer  named  Goldsmid,  was  admitted 
to  the  English  bar,  and  in  New  York  there  is 
quite  a  ntimber  in  the  profession.    The  Roth- 
childs  are  professedly  the  greatest  stock  gamb- 
lers in  Europe,  and  the  best  friends  of  kingly 
borrowers.    In  Germany  all  the  highest  walks 
in  literature  and  philosophy   are  filled  with 
Jews,  and  in  this  country  we  find  them  in  our 
colleges  and  schools  of  learning,  and  in  the 
Senate  of  the   XTnited  Stat.»«.     They  excel  in 
many  of  the  fine  arts,  and  as  composers,  music- 
ians and  actors  they  are  remarkable  for  their 
excellence. — We  need  not  look  farther  than 
our  own  theatres  to  observe  their  predominant 
tastes.    They  tread  the  stage  as  performers,  or 
fill  the  boxes  of  the  Academy  as  patrons  of  the 
lyric  art.    The  greatest  actress  in  the  world  is 
a  Jewess,  Rachel ;   the  most  popular   ballad 
singer  of  the  day  is  a  Jew,  Russel.    The  com- 
posers of  some  of  the  most  scientific  and  clas- 
sical operas  are  Jews. — In  business  none  are 
more  keen  though  others  may  be  more  scrupu- 
lous.   They  occupy  whole  streets  in  Europe  ; 
they  are  beginniug  to  do  so  iu  this  country. 
In  this  city,aud  even  in  Albany,  tht-rc  are  parts 
of  the  town  where  they  monopolize  their  pecul- 
iar  branches  of  trade. — Many  of  them  do  not 
hesitate  to  keep  their  shops  open  on  the  Cnrist- 
iau  Sabbath  as  well  as  their  own,  and  we  have 
heard  this  complained   of  by  other  tradesmen 
as  a  great  advantage  taken  of  those  who  ob- 
serve at  least  one  day  in  the  week. 

The  peculiarities  of  the  Jewish  character  are 
thought  to  consist  in  the  single  mindeduess 
with  which  each  individuarfbllows  his  pecul- 
iar profession.  A  contemporary  says  of  them, 
that  "they  have  the  power  of  seizing  the  strong 
points  of  whatever  they  attempt  to  do,  beyond 
any  other  nation,  and  developiiig  them  with 
unsurpassed  energy  and  enterprise."  Nothing 
is  allowed  to  stand  in  the  way  of  their  projects 
and  thus  they  appear  selfish  in  everylhiug  they 
undertake.  But  they  are  devoted  to  each 
other  and  are  capable  of  the  most  generous 
actions. 

It  is  diflScult  to  say,  what  at  this  time  are 
the  real  tenets  of  the  Jews.*  The  old  distinc- 
tion of  Sadducees  and  Pharasees  is  pretty 
much  gone— the  latter  prevailing  in  the  Syna- 
gogues, and  everywhere  in  tbe  ascendant.  In 
Africa  it  is  said  some  of  the  former  may  yet  be 


more  learned  are  subtle  and  able  in  support  of 
their  opinions,  and  are  difficult  to  be  overcome 
in  argument.  It  is  a  eominDu  opinion  among 
these  I  hat  the  Socinians  of  modern  times  as* 
similate  closely  iu  their  belief,  and  would  be- 
come Jews  if  it  was  not  for  the  rile  of  circum- 
cision !  _•"•    ' 

The  Synag^ues  in  this  city  are  numerous, 
and  several  of  them  very  elegant  In  their  in- 
terior. The  service  is  solemn  and  curious,  and 
the  zeal  wjth  which  some  of  the  prayers  are  re- 
cited is  remarkable.  We  have  seen  tears 
courting  down  the  cheeks  of  men  of  mature  age 
as  they  uttered  their  heartfelt  invocations  to 
the  God  of  their  fathers  The  rites  of  their 
religion  are  very  scrupulously  followed  in  thii 
city  by  a  large  number  of  the  faithful,  aiid 
some  of  their  ceremonies  are  singular  enough. 

Tie  feast  of  Tabernachs  was  obs.-rved  by 
some  of  the  mest  strict,  by  their  actually  liv- 
ing out  of  their  houses,  in  their  gardens  the  al- 
lotted period  ;  and  even  the  little  boys  of  that 
persuasion  might  have  been  seeu  sitting  on 
dry  goods  boxes,  at  shop  do  >r8  with  green 
branches  over  their  heads  in  playful  remem-

This  is  a  quotation  from  Gen.  27.  22,  and  is  used 
proverbially,  when  men  wish  to  pass  bad  th.ngs 
under  good  names  ;  since  Jacob,  in  mystic  f  heo- 
logy,  is  the  represeiilaiive  of  tha  good  Principle, 
aud  Ksau,  for  tbe  evil  one. 

*  We  shall  think  it  an  agreeable  task  to  lay  be- 
fore our  readers  the  tents  of  Judaism,  as  soon  as 
we  shall  in  some  degree,  be  relived  of  the  cares, 
anxieties,  and  diiBculiies  under  which,  thanks  to 
God,  we  now  labor. 


brauce  of  the  feast. 

The  Jewish  population  of  this  city  is  esti- 
mated as  high  as  30,000.  It  is  utterly  impos- 
sioletosay  what  their  numbeis  are  in  the  whole 
world.  A  recent  estimate  gives  the  total  at 
ten  millions,  which  is  three  times  and  a  third 
more  than  it  was  when  they  were  in  Canaan. 
Others  suppose  that  the  extent  is  six  millions. 
Their  dispersion  over  the  earth  is  a  remark* 
able  fulfilment  of  the  predictions  of  their  own 
prophets  :  but  their  final  restoration  to  their 
ancient  home  is  fully  believed  in.  The  period 
of  this  return  is  fixed  by  some  commentators 
at  1866,  to  be  preceeded  first  by  the  fall  of  the 
Turkish  empire.  As  we  walk  up  Chatham  street 
however,  we  see  no  particular  preparation  nor 
much  anxiety  for  such  an  event  as  a  trip  to 
Palestine. 

Poverty  the  Ally  of  Genius. — Ho- 
mer was  a  beggar;  Pliitus  turned  a  mill  ; 
Boethius  died  iu  jail;  Terence  was  a  slave; 
Paul  Borghese  had  fourteen  trades,  yet 
starvad  with  them  all;  Tasso  was  often 
distressed  for  a  few  shillings;  Camoeiis, 
the  writer  of  tbe  "Lusiad,"  ended  his  days 
in  ail  alms-house ;  and  Vaugelas  left  his 
body  to  the  surgeons  to  pay  his  debts.  In 
England,  Bacon  lived  a  life  of  meanness 
and  distress;  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  died  on 
the  scaffold;  Spencer  died  iti  want;  Milton 
sold  his  copyright  of  "Paradise  Lost"  for 
$15,  and  died  in  obscurity;  Otway  perish- 
ed of  hunger;  Lee  died  iu  the  streets; 
Dryden  lived  in  poverty  and  distress;  Steele 
was  in  perpetual  war  with  tbe  ballffs;  Gold- 
smith's "Vicar  of  Wakeliold  was  sold  for 
a  trifle,  to  save  bim  from  the  grasp  of  the 
law;  Richard  Savage  died  in  Bristol  for  a 
debt  of  eight  pounds;  Butler  lived  in  pen- 
ury and  died  poor;  Chatterton,  the  child 
of  genius  and  misfortune,  destroyed  him- 
self.   

The  cost  of  the  new  churches,  hotels,  stores, 
and  dwelling-houses  put  up  in  Chicago  during 
the  last  year,  exceeds  five  million  of  dollars. 
A  fast  city.  ■ ^^

DOMESTK!  ECONOMY. 

To  Mothers. 

Your  child  will  squint,  if  you  do  not  mind. 
Objects  of  Tivid  eolotBt  4»  gHttcriog  metals,. 
ought  never  to  be  introduced  into  the  nursery  ; 
they  hurt  the  eye.  Never  present  anything  to 
the  child  side-ways,  or  immediatly  over  their 
heads.  The  reason  for  this  caution  is,  that 
children  seek,  aud  pmsue  almost  instinctively, 
bright  objects ;  ai^aJe  thus  liable  to  contract 
a  habit  of  moving  iHeir  eyes  in  an  oblique  di- 
rection, which  may  terminate  in  squinting. 

Many  parents  seem  to  take  great  pleasure 
in  indulging  the  young  infant  in  looking  at 
these  bright  objects  ;  especially  a  lamp  or 
candle.  If  the  child  is  naturally  strong  and 
vigorous,  no  immediate  perceptible  injury  may 
arise;  but  I  am  confident  in  the  opinion  that 
the  result  is  often  (juite  otherwise.  For  many 
weeks,  if  not  many  months  of  their  early  exist- 
ence, ihey  should  not  be  permitted  to  sit  or  lie 
and  guze  at  any  dright  object,  be  it  ever  so 
weak  or  distant,  unless  placed  exactly  before 
their  eyes ;  and  even  in  the  latter  case,  it  were 
better  to  avoid  it. 

Never  allow  your  nurse  to  present  any  ob- 
ject before  the  child's  eye,  a  disUince  less  than 
twelve  or  filtecn  inches,  by  approaching  it  uear- 
er,  the  child  will  grow  short-sighted.  _ 

Never  allow  a  baby  to  play  with  bright 
playthings. 

Burns  and  Scalds.— Wheat  flour,  which 
may  be  thickly  sprinkled  over  the  injured  parts 
wtth  a  common  kitchen  dredger,  till  a  perfect 

crust   is   formed an  excellent  application 

against  burned  and  scalded  parts,  now  prefer- 
red in  some  of  the  London  hospitals  to  Bny 
other  plan  of  treatment.  This  method  is  pre- 
ferred to  the  use  of  cotton,  in  as  mnch  as  the 
flour  relieves  the  pain  almost  as  soon  as  it  is 
applied  ;  or  apply  finely-scraped  chalk  or  mag- 
nesia, in  the  same  way.  Tnesc  act  both  by 
excluding  the  i^mospheric  air'  and  absorbing 
the  fiuid  secreted  by  the  vessels  of  the  inUamed 
surface.  Another  application  reported  to  be 
very  efficacious  in  allaying  the  pain,  is  a  piece 
of  lint  wetted  with  a  saturated  solution  of  car- 
bonate of  soda.  A  poultice  of  grated  raw  tur- 
nip  or  potato,  applied  cold,  is  quickly  product- 
ive of  ease  in  slight  burns,  but  requires  rcncw' 
ing  often  enough  to  keep  up  the  sensation  of 
coldness. 

A  Remedy  for  a  Burn  or  Scald.— Apply 
immediatly  a  thick  covering  of  wool  to  tho 
burnt  part,  and  bind  it  on  tight ;  in  the  course 
of  half  an  hour  very  Utte  pain  will  be  felt,  and 
scarcely  any  blister  will  remain.  As  this  re 
medy  is  so  simple,  no  housekegpei  should  be 
without  loose  wool  at  hand,  in  case  of  an  ac- 
cident. This  remedy  was  discovered  by  the 
child  of  a  woolcomber  having  been  dreadfully 
scalded:  its  mothher  laid  it  in  a  basket  of  new- 
ly carded  wool,  whilst  she  ran  for  a  doctor  ; 
when  she  returned,  she  found  tho  child  fast 
asleep  amongst  the  wool,  and  when  it  awoke 
the  exce8.^ivo  pain  had  subsided.  We  have 
f^etinently  tried  it,  and  invuriably  with  success, 
or  plunge  the  injured  part  into  cold  spring  or 
ice  water  ;  or  lay  on  it  pounded  ice  wrapt  in 
linen. 

Or  dissolve  four  ounces  of  alum  in  a  quart 
of  hot  water  ;  dip  a  cloth  into  it,  and  lay  it  on 
the  part.  As  soon  as  it  becomes  hot  and  dry, 
repeat  the  application. 

Apply  to  a  burn,  bruise,  or  cut,  the  moist 
surfce  of  the  inside  coating  of  tho  shell  of  a 
raw  egg ;  it  will  adhere  of  itselj,  and  heal  with- 
out pain. 

A  dutiftil  child  is  a  pleasure  to  his  father  ; 
but  a  foolish  son,  the  grief  of  his  mother.

stance?— Then  go  to  law  in  a  land  where 
you  can  get  no  ju  tice ;  where  corruption 
soils  the  ermine,  and  venality  luxuriates  in 
corruptibility. 

But,  if  you  want  to  purcluise  misery— if  you 
wish  to  pay  dearly  for  a  full  overflowing  cup 
of  it — if  you  wish  to  be  fleeced,  ruined  and 
devoured  at  once,  then,  in  addition  to  the 
evils  ol  perverted  law,  call  in  aid  unprincipled 
lawyers,  throw  yourself  on  the  mercy  of  the 
professed  pettifogger,  trust  his  fawning  voice, 
his  deceitful  words,  his  betraying  smile,  his 
treacherous  look  ;— just  go,  for  once,  but  for 
once,  throw  yourself  into  his  yawning,  all- 
devouring,  all-coirupting  crocodile  jaws,  and 
you  are  undone.  He  will  work,  he  will  turn, 
twine,  and  twist,  plan,  play,  plague,  plead— for 
himself— as  long  as  he  can  practise  on  your 
ignorance,  (of  law)  drain  your  substance, 
and  satisfy  his  criminal  avarice.  This  work 
done,  he  at  once,  withdraws  from  you  to  gnaw 
on  his  booty ;  and,  regardless  of  your  double 
Ipqg — yonr  claim   and   his  fee — he  leaves  you

to  despair,  and  to  manage  as  well  as  you  can 
Go,  then,  and  ask  him  to  get  you  out  of  the 
difficulty  into  which  his  neglect,  forgetfulness, 
or  treachery  has  brought  you,  he  supercili- 
ously will  look  at  you  as  an  ignoramus,  who 
foolishly  trusted  to  him,  and  instead  of  ((or  his 
own  credit's  sake — honor  he  never  had) — 
mending  his  former  error  or  neglect,  will  advise 
you  to  persevere  in  your  downward  course, 
whereby  he  may  open  a  second  drain  on  your 
purse.  If,  then,  you  wish  to  avoid  trouble, 
avoid  law— to  be  spared  loss  and  vexation,  fly 
the  meriiefs  tricksters.  Would  you  shun  the 
plague,  never  enter  thc  pestilential  atmosphere 
of  the  pettifogging  lawyer. 

It  is  hard,  indeed,  to  be  wronged  of  our 
property,  it  gnaws  on  the  mind  to  see  those 
to  whom  we  confided  our  substance,  enjoy  it  at 
our  expense,  and  strut  the  pavement  with  infla- 
ted dignity,  while  you  are  bowgd  down  with 
the  cares  his  defalcation  has  heaped  upon  you. 
But  what  will  yon  d  >?  What  good  is  it  to 
go  to  law  where  yom  can  get  no  justice,  or 
where  the  road  to  it,  if  yon  wish  to  get  silver, 
must  be  paved  with  gold  ?  Where  the  loss  of 
time,  rest  and  money,  can  jiever  be  repaid  by 
what  you  gain  in  the  suit?  Therefore,  in  ordi- 
nary cases,  avoid  law  altogether.  Will  a 
man,  dropping  a  golden  ring  into  the  sea, 
stop  the  progress  of  the  vessel,  and  go  to  the 
expense  of  sending  a  diver  to  the  bottom  of 
the  deep  ?  Will  he  not  rather  put  up  with  one 
loss  rather  than  incur  the  risk  of  a  second  ? 
Be  reconciled  to  your  first  mishap,  and  push 
forward  to  repair  it,  by  the  almost  certain 
swea  earnings  of  in^Justry,  rather  than  by  the 
hazardous  chances  and  vexatious   intricacies 

of  law. 

But,  if  the  justness  of  your  cause,  the  prom- 
ising prospect  of  its  being  gained,  and  the 
extent  of  the  amount,  imperatively  demand 
a  recourse  for  redriss  to  law,  then  go  at  once 
to  a  respectable  lawyer  of  known  honor  and 
integrity,  make  an  agreement  with  him  as  to 
his  fee,  and  rather  pay  double  the  amount  to 
a  man  of  principle  and  reputation  than  sub- 
mit to  the  leech-like  process  of  the  pettifog- 
ger. The  lawyer  who  has  an  extensive  prac- 
tice and  reputation  at  stake,  may  treat  you 
fairly  ;  but  the  pettifogger  who,  spider-like, 
sits  in  his  nest,  till  a  poor  ignorant  fly  comes 
within  the  meshes  of  his  endless  web,  is  sure 
insidiously  to  approach  you  so  quietly  and  de- 
liberately to  entwine  you,  till  you  cannot  get 


out  of  his  grasp  any  more,  and  then  commence 
his  sucking  process,  and  continue  till  your 
life's  marrow  ig  gone — gope — irretrievably 
gone. 

We  are  prompted  to  lay  this  article  before 
our  readers,  by  the  experience  we  have  of  the 
mischief  done  to  a  portion  of  our  community, 
who  from  inexperience  and  ignorance  of  facts, 
commit^the  great  error  of  not  submitting  to  a 
snaller  loss,  rather  than  have  recourse  to  the 
law  and  its  unprincipled  guardians. 

Two  instances  that  lately  came  to  our  knowl- 
edge, and  for  tbe  truth  of  which  we  vouch, 
may  serve  to  show  the  importance  of  directing 
the  attention  of  the  public  to  the  fact. 

A  poor,  illiterate  mechanic,  in  this  city, 
had  some  difficulty  with  his  wife ;  she  sued 
him  before  the  Mayor's  Court.  He  applied  to 
one  of  those  individuals  described  above,  who, 
to  make  up  a  case,  will,  from  a  spider's  web, 
try  to  twist  a  cable-rope.  On  the  day  ap- 
pointed for  the  trial  before  the  Mayor,  the 
parties  assembled  in  an  ante-chamber.  Before 
the  case  was  called  up,  the  lawyer  stipulated 
with  the  unfortunate  husband  that  he  must 
have  fifteen  dollars,  else  he  would  have  noth- 
ing to  do  with  the  case.  It  so  happened  that 
a  clerical  gentleman  was  present  and  over- 
heard the  bargain.  The  case  callal,  the  law- 
yer, witu  his  usual  regard  for  veracity,  in  a 
few  words  stated  that  the  case  ought  to  be 
dismissed  at  once  as  the  woman  was  not  in 
her  right  mind,  and,  if  encouraged,  would  con- 
tinually trouble  the  Court  with  her  importu 
nity,  as  she  had  done  already  several  times. 
The  woman,  understanding  the  English  lan- 
guage very  imperfectly,  and  having  no  coun- 
sel, could  make  no  reply,  and  the  case  was 
dismissed  without  any  fuither  hearing.  Thus 
the  services  of  the  lawyer  at  Court  were,  in  - 
deed,  trivial ;  but,  in  addition  to  what  he  had 
to  do  there,  he  went  to  the  house  of  the  par- 
ties and  saw  that  the  husband  took  safely  his 
tools  from  there,  as  the  couple  agreed  not  to 
live  together. 

Some  time  ago,  the  mechanic  was  sued  in 
one  of  the  District  Courts  for  ^100  lawyer's 
fees.  The  client  appealed  to  the  clergyman 
as  evidence,  who,  on  oath,  deposed  that  tlie 
agreement  was  for  the  client  to  pay  fifteen 
dollars.  Upon  this,  the  versatile  lawyer  turned 
with  the  wind,  and  said  tbe  fee  was  a  hundred 
and  fifteen  ;  but  he  would  not  sue  for  the  odd 
amount.  The  witness  insisted  upon  his  first 
assertion,  and  stated  that  the  man,  never  in 
his  life,  was  worth  one  hundred  and  fifteen  dol- 
lars, nor  was  it  a  case  that  at  all  would  justify 
such  a  charge.  Two  lawyers  present,  on  in- 
quiry what  was  usual  for  lawyers  to  charge  in 
similar  cases,  gave  their  opinion  that  about 
ten,  t«velve,  or  fifteen  dollars  would  be  the 
proper  rate.  However,  this  sum  being  but  a 
trifle,  the  equitable  judge  doubled  it,  so  that 
the  man,  if  he  docs  not  appeal,  will,  after  all, 
have  to  pay  thirty  dollars,  besides  expenses.

Reverence  to  the  Name  of  God  and  t» 
Religion. 

The  Queen  of  Oude  and  party  latejy  visited 
the  Crystal  Palace.  As  they  were  about  to 
enter  the  Temple  of  Justice  in  the  Court  of 
the  Allmmbra,  their  attention  was  called  to 
the  circumstance  of  thc  word  God  being  writ- 
ten on  the  tasselated  floor,  and,  seeing  this, 
they  refused  to  tread  upon  that  spot,  as  it 
would  have  involved  an  act  of  gross  desecra- 
tion, according  to  their  religion. 

A  similar  respect  is  shown,  not  only  to  the 
holy  name,  but  to  all  sacred  writings  and  objects 
among  the  Jews.  No  portion  of  the  Bible  or 
of  any  religious  book  is  ever  u.sed  for  common 
purposes ;  anything,  written  or  printed,  con- 
taining religious  matter,  is  never  used  for  wrap- 
pers or  other  secular  purposis. . 

Any  pious  Jew,  who  will  see  a  piece  of  pa- 
per, containing  some  religious  sentences,  on 
the  ground,  will  never  pass  it  without  taking 
it  up,  (perhaps  kiss  it.)  and  scrupulously  pre- 
serve it. 

There  are  in  the  vestibule  of  every  Syna- 
gogue in  Europe  chests  for  the  purpose  of  de- 
positing therein  all  such  fragments  and  worn- 
out  Hebrew  books.  When  these  bo.xes  are 
filled,  the  contents  are  carefully  collated  and 
packed  into  chests  or  tnt>9,  Which  are  then 
deposited  under  ground, — by  which  means 
they  are  preserved  from  being  put  to  com- 
'  mon  uses. 

Not  only  will  the  religious  Jew  not  misuse, 
much  less  tread,  on  religioas  writing,  he  even 
will  never  sit  down  on  a  seat  or  bench  on 
which  a  religious  book  lies.  He  scrupulou.-ly 
will  take  it  up,  kiss  it,  lay  it  on  some  other 
place,  and  then  sit  down.

Grass  Valley,  Feb.  4,  1856. 

Editor  Gleaner — Rev.  Sir  : — Allow  me  to 
inform  you  that  our  Society  is  in  a  flourishing 
condition.  We  were  organized  Sept.  8tb, 
1856,  and  have  since  that  time  purchased  a 
Sepher  Torah,  with  tbe  necessary  appendages, 
and  also  a  Shophar. 

We  have,  too,  a  fine,  well-fenced  Cemetery, 
with  a  substantial  building  on  it,  with  all  the 
implements  required  by  our  rites.  May  they 
never  be  wanted.  We  kept  the  last  holy-days 
with  great  credit  to  our  Hasan,  Mr.  Paw- 
broch,  who,  as  a  private  man,  is  second  to 
none  in  this  State.  We  also  expect  to;keep 
Purim  and  Pesach,  according  to  our  laws,  and 
not  according  to  fashion.  As  we  hav^  the 
Polish  Minhag  here,  we  are  of  the  Orlhordox, 
of  course.*' 

Our  Society  is  governed  by  a  Constitution 
and  By-Laws,  and  properly  managed  by  our 
Officers,  who  are  respectively  elected  every 
year.  No  more  at  present.  Hoping  to  hear 
soon  from  you,  I  remain, 

Respectfully  yours, 

J.  Marks.

THE     WEEKLY     QLEANER 


37 


The  Religious  Press  of  Ban  Francisco. 

We  have  in  California,  as  far  as  we   know, 
the  following  religioas  papers,  of  which  the 


items  below  for  the  present. 

The  Pacific— &  weekly  large  folio  sheet,  de- 
voted to  Religion  and  Literature — was  estab- 
lished in  1851.  It  is  the  organ  of  the  Presby- 
terian church,  is  printed  at  Mr.  P.  Gordon 
Merritt's  office.  Clay  street,  and  is  edited  by 
the  Rev.  I.  H.  Brayton.  The  publisher  re- 
ceives for  the  annual  fifty-two  issues  about 
$10:000.  The  editor  receives  for  his  editorial 
labors  $100  per  month. 

This  paper,  though  it  has  a  circulation  of 
about  $4000,  and  a  great  list  of  advertise- 
ments, has  never  paid  itself.  However,  the 
church,  true  to  her  duties,  never  allowed  either 
the  Publishers  or  the  Editors  to  be  discouraged 
or  the  paper  to  fall.  The  friends  of  the  cause 
supplied  since  the  existence  of  the  Pacific 
about  $2,000  a  year  to  make  up  the  deficits. 
On  one  occasion,  when  the  paper  was  embar- 
rassed, the  former  Editor,  in  a  few  hours  got 
$2,500  to  releave  her. 

The  Christian  Advocate  is  the  organ  of  the 
Metho<list  church  in  our  city.  This  paper  like 
the  Pacific,  ioea  not  pay  itself;  the  church, 
however,  awake  to  her  duty,  contributes  $2^ 

OtK)  towards  its  support  erery  year. 7 

There  exists  another  organ  of  this  denemio^ 
afjon,  published  at  Stockton.  The  first  bom- 
ber appeared  some  five  weeks  ago.  We 
learn  from  its  pages  that  the  editor  had  hard 
work  in  starting  it.  May  the  zeal  so  charac- 
teristic of  the  followers  of  the  pious  John  Wes- 
ley enable  him  to  continue  the  work  with  more 
ease  than  he  commenced  it. 

The  Western  Staiulard,  a  paper  advocating 
the  peculiar  tenets  of  the  Morraans,  of  which; 

we  shall  speak  in  our  text.

Can  You    Pray. 

YOtJR   thoughts,  acts    AND  RESOLUTIONS. 

There  is  an  inherent  power  in  virtue  and 
merit  which  will  command  respect  from  the 
worthy,  imitation  from  the  dutiful,  and  pro- 
tection against  the  merciless  hand  of  the  un- 
ungodly— if  there  is  one  spark  of  feeling  or 
or  soul  alive  in  them.  The  ruffian  hand  lifted 
over  the  devoted  head  of  a  lamented  §  Coligni. 
shrunk  powerlessly  back  from  its  murderous 
aim  in  the  presence  of  the  generous  Admiral. 
Only  at  the  instigation  of  a  more  wretched 
being  present,  the  creatures  of  the  tyrant  King 
were  encouraged  to  perpetrate  the  deed,  to  sat- 
isfy the  revengeful  feeling  of  a  spiteful  ru- 
ler. 

The  following  story  may  serve  to  fillustrate 
our  position,  and  the  application  if  acted  upon, 
may  prove  of  infinite  benefit  to  individuals  and 
societies . 

The.Preaclier  and  the  Robbers. 

A  Methodist  preacher;  several  years  ago,  in 
Irelandj  was  journeying  to  the  village  where 
he  had  to  dispense  the  word  of  life,  according 
to  tbe  usnal  routine  of  h^s  duty,  and  was  stop- 
ped on  his  way  by  three  robbers.  One  of  them 
seized  his  bridle  reins,  another  presented  a  pis- 
tol and  demanded  his  money,  and  the  third 
was  a  mere  looker  on. 

The'  grave  and  devoted  man  looked  each  and 
all  of  them  in  the  face,  and  with  great  gsavity 
and  seriousness  said  : 

"Friends,  cen  you  pray  to  God  before  you 
commit  the  deed  ?  Can  you  ask  God  to  bless 
you  in  your  undertakings  to-day  ?" 

These  questions  startled  them  for  a  mo- 
ment. Recovering  themselves,  one  said,  "  We 
have  no  time  to  answer  such  questions ;  we 
want  your  money — we  must  have  our  will. 

"  I  am  a  poor  preacher  of  the  gospel," 
was  the  reply,  "  if  you  give  me  nothing,  do  not 


try  to  take  from  me  the..little  I  have.    How- 
ever, satisfy  your  thirst,  ruin  me,  and  answer  it 
before  tbe  God   whom  I  faithfully  serve — the 
little  money  I  have  shall  be  given  you." 
A  few  shillings  was  all  he  had  to  give. 
"  Have  you  not  a  watch  ?" 
"Yes.", 

"  Well  then,  give  it  to  us." 
In  taking  his  watch  1  from  his  pocket,  his 
saddle-bags  were  displayed.  * 

"  What  have  got  here  was  the  question  ask- 
ed again. 

"  I  cannot  say  I  have  nothing  in  them  but 
religious  books,  because  I  have  a  pair  of  shoes 
and  a  change  of  linen,  also." 
"  We  must  have  them." 
The  preacher  dismounted.    The  saddle-bags 
were  taken  possession   of,  and  no   further  de- 
mands were  made.      Instantly  the  preacher 
began  to  unbutton  his  great-coat,  and  to  throw 
it  off  his  shoulders,  at  the  same  time  asking, 
"  Will  you  have  my  great  coat  ?" 
"  No,"  was  the  reply  ;  "  you  are  a  generous 
man, and  we  will  not  take  it.' 

He  then  addressed  them  as  follows  : 
"  I  have  given  you  every  thing  you  asked  for} 
and  would  have  given   more  than   you  asked 
for  ;    Now  I  have  only  one  favor  to  ask  of 
yon." 
"  What  is  that  ?" 

"  That  you  will  kneel  down  and  allow  me  to 
pray  with  you,  and  to  pray  to  Almighty  God 
in  your  behalf  ;  to  ask  him  to  turn  your  hearts 
and  put  you  upon  better  ways." 

"  I II  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  man's 
things,"  said  the  ringleader  of  them. 
"  No'  I  either,"  said  another  of  them. 
"  Here,  take  your  watch^take  your  saddle- 
bags ;  if  we  have  anything  to  do  with  you,  the 
judgments  of  God  will  overtake  us." 

So  all  the  articles  were  returned.  That, 
however,  did  not  satisfy  the  godly  man.  He 
urged  "prayer  upon  them.  He  knelt  down  ; 
one  of  the  robbers  knelt  with  him  ;  one  prayed 
the  other  wept,  confesseil  big  sin,  and  said  it 
was  tne  first  time  io  his  life  he  had  done  such  a 
thing,  and  should  be  the  last.  How  far  he 
kept  his  word,  is  known  only  to  Him  t»  whom 
the  darkness  and  the  light  are  alike — to  Him 
whose  eyelids  try  the  children  of  men. — St- 
lecied. 
We  like  the  idea  of  our  Methodist  preacher. 


But  the  patient  reader  will  allow  the  trial  of 
an  improvement  on  it.  You  see  here  a  com- 
pany of  robbers,  intent  on  mischief,  desist  from 
their  evil  designs  by  the  idea  of  inflicting  wrong 
on  a  defenceless  man,  of  God— they  feel  the 
cowardice  of  a  number  falling  on  one.  They 
are  over-awed  by  the  idea  of  a  God  in  whose 
service  the  pious  preacher  was  enlisted  ;  they, 
instead  of  acting  the  easier  part,  of  cowardly 
carrying  out  their  self-will,  take  the  more  diffi- 
cult course  to  turn  their  wrathful  into  generous 
feelings  ;  tbey  turn  their  eyes  to  a  God  above, 
to  their  and  their  victim's  Judge.  They  conform 
to  the  mote  difficult  task.  Any  man  can  hurt, 
the  brute  can  show  a  feeling  of  revenge,  ser- 
pents, vipers,  lions  and  tigers,  can  do  mishhief, 
can  wound,  can  kill ;  but  it  is  a  god  like  prin- 
ciple that  curbs  onr  will  and  submits  it  to  the 
will  of  God.  We  therefore  lay  it  to  the  heart 
of  our  readers  not  only  to  address  their 
thoughts  before  and  after  tbe  deed  tbey  intend 
to  commit — but 

TO  PRAY  THE  DBED  ITSELF. 
Yes,  we  call  on  you,  in  all  your  DEEDS, 
PROCEEDINGS,  BESOLTTIONS— to  lay 
yonr  hand  on  your  hearts,  and  before  you  act, 
to  PRAY  your  actions.    You  wish  to  releave 
the  oppressed  ;  turn  this  your  wish  into  a  pray- 
er to  God,  and  say,  "  Almighty  Father  who 
art  in  heaven,  send  relief  and   enlargement  to 
our  brother   in  trouble."      You   wish  to  cor- 
rect your  child — turn  your  wish  into  a  prayer  ; 
say — :  «  0  Father  above,  have  mercy  upon 
myself  and   my  child,  turn   his  heart  from  his 
froward  ways,  and  convert  it  unto  thee.  Thou 
wisheat  to  act  or  proceed  against  a  brother  who 
has  ofi'ended  thee,who  has  provoked  thy  inflated 
pride,  thy  insignificant  vanity,  ask  thyself  con- 
scientiously, whether  his  deed  though  offensive 
to  thy  perverted  mind,  whether  this  very  deed, 
was  not  pleasing  to  his  just  God.    Thou  wan- 
test  to  vent  thy  spite,  to  wound  the  heart  of  a 
man  much  thy  better  in  every  respect,  well, 
Jeroboem  try — I'ft  up  thy  hand — raise  it  high, 
higher — but  stop — before  thou    sendest  the 
poisoned  missile, 

PRAY  THr  DEED, 
go  throw  thyself  in  the  presence  of  onr  God, 
and  ask  thy  Judge  to  assist  thee,  to  BLESS 
thy  deed  ;  if  thou  canst  do  it,  thy  deed  may  be 
be  geod,  if  not,  be  sure  to  desist.  Allow  thy 
cowardiv  hand  to  sink,  and  instead  of  dealing 


the  blow,  instead  of  wooriding  thy  neighbor 
heal  and  purify  thy  own  selfish  heart.  You 
want  to  turn  your  foot  to  the  ways  of  sin- to 
take  thg  price  of  brpad  int?nd'*d,  and  iine  to 
neglected  worth,  to  the  honeet  laborer,  from 
whom  thy  pervesseness  withholds  his  honestly 
earned  wages.  You  busily  run,  you  try  your 
work  and  are  about  triumphantly  to  carry 
your  point — to  snatch  the  blade  of  grass  from 
the  bound  lamb  "  that  dare  not  open  its 
mouth,"  you  are  a  mighty  giant  to  kill  a  gnat. 
Now,  coward,  before  you  enter  the  thresbhold, 
to  mislead  thy  neighbor,  to  persuade  him  to 
sin— pray  your  thought,  pray  your  deed.  Turn 
your  eyes  to  heaven  if  you  can  ;  if  not,  desist 
at  once. 

NEVER  ACT  UNLESS 
you  can  act  in  thc  presence  of  God  ;  never 
proceed  unless  it  be  on  the  jvay  of  God.  Never 
dare  to  presume  in  resolutions,  unless  you  can 
pray  them  before  your  God.  For  consider 
there  is  a  Judge  above,  and  Shcol  below  thee. 
"  That  every  thing  is  brought  to  account. 
And  let  not  thy  evil  imagination  persuade 
thee  that  there  is  a  refuge  for  thee,  that  thou 
canst  elude  the  fruit  of  thy  misdeeds  ;  for,  as 
thou  was  formed  without  thy  will,  without  thy 
assent;  as  thou  wast  bcrn  against  thy  will  ; 
BO  against  thy  will  thou  mmt  die — aguinstthy 
will  thou  muBt|render  account,and  receive  judg- 
ment from  the  Supreme  Judge,  the  King  of 
of  Kings,  blcssetl,  aiid  revered  be  his  name." 
PRAY  your  ACTIONS,  PROCEEDINGS, 
and  RESOLUTIONS  ;  if  you  cannot,  DE-

The  Likeness  of  Maimonides. — In  relation 
to  the  likeness  of  this  eminent  divine,  who  by 
his  great  work,  the  Morah,  has  rendered  such 
signal  service  to  the  whole  religious  world, 
we  beg  to  state"  that  it  is  copied  from  Dr.  Be- 
mis's  Life  of  Maimonides. 

The  famous  Italian-Hebrew  scholar,  Reggio, 
discovered  it  first  in  that  masterpiece  of  a  work, 
"Thesaurus  Anliquitatum,"  published  at  Ven- 
ice, by  Blaseus  Ugolinus.     He  cent    sketch  of 
his  discovery  to  his  friend,  Mr.  Solomon  Stern, 
of  Berlin.    The  latter  was  naturally  anxious 
to  know  whether  the  reprcsntation  was  real  or 
imaginary.     Reggio,  therefore,  sent  the  follow- 
ing explanation  :   "  In  the  celebrated  work, 
'Thesaurus  Antiquitatum  Sacrarum  Blasie  Ug- 
olmi,  Venetiis,  1744,'  in  the  first  volume,  p. 
384,  is  found  the  likeness  of  Maimonides,  which 
the  author  [of  'Thesaurus  Antiquitatum']  says 
was  taken,  'ex-antiqua  tabula,'  *  without,  how- 
ever, stating  more  fully  and  circumstantially 
how  he  came  to  the  possession  of  this  tabula, 
where  it  existetl,  and  if  any  one  bore  testimony 
to  the  authenticity  of  the  likeness.     However, 
as  Ugolinus  is  known  as  an  industrious,  honor- 
able man,  acquainted  with  his  subject,  and  who 
cannot  be  easily  suspected  of  fraud;  there  is 
nothing  against  assuming  the  probabilty  that 
at  the  publication  of  his  work  he  had  really 
before  him  such  a  tabula.  " 

Mr.  Solomon  Stern  printed  on  one  sheet  of 
paper  a  few  copies  of  tbe  above  miniature,  ac- 
compenied  by  a  copy  of  Reggio's  letter,  and 
Mr.  Moses  Margolionth  of  London,  writes  in 
relation  to  tbe  likeness  of  that  great  man,  dur- 
ing my  rambles  in  France  in  the  archives  of 
literary  Jews ;  two  ia  this  very  city  (Marseille) 
evidently  copicfl  neither  from  Ugolinus  nor 
Reggio's,  for  they  were  handed  down  as  heir- 
looms from  father  to  son,  but  strikingly  res- 
semble  the  sketch  I  send  you. 


Without  memory,  the  judgment  must  be  un- 
employed, and  ignorance  must  be  the  conse 
qucnce.  Pliny  says  it  is  one  of  the  greatest 
gifts  of  nature.

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


THE  FAMHY. 


Parents  flO  not  TeaoU    » oui   wnuares 
Falsehood. 

Children,  it  is  thought,  are  at  first  difiposed 
to  Bpeak  the  truth  and  believe  what  others 
say  :  why  then  do  they  soon  become  suspicious 
of  others,  and  wliy  should  one  have  reason  to 
discredit  their  own  statements  ?  Are  not  their 
parents  their  instructors?  When  they  tell 
them  they  are  going  out  two  or  three  minutes, 
and  then  stay  an  hour  ;  when  they  promise  to 
give  them  an  apple,  if  they  will  dojao  and  so,  and 
the  promise  is  not  fulfilled  ;  when  they  assure 
them  that  it  will  not  hurt  much  to  have  their 
teeth  extracted,  and  that  rhubard  and  salts  are 
not  bad  to  take— almost  as  sweet  as  sugar  ;  or 
when  the  child  is  threatened  with  correction, 
if  it  goes  out  without  hat  or  bonnet,  and  then 
thoughtlessly  transgresse^i,  but  looks  in  vain 
for  the  punishment — or  wten  you  allow  some 
ignorant  visitor  to  interfere  in  your  sphere  of 
duties,  and  threaten  your  boy,  if  he  docs  not 
obey  he  would  sell  him,  or  some  other  such 
nonsense— what  more  effective  lessons  need  be 
given  to  make  children  liars,  than  are  thus  in- 
culcated by  those  who  should  be  the  last  to 
dijceivo  them  ? 


When  visitors  are  coming  in,  and  the  lady 
of  the  house  says,  "  Oh  dear,  I  am  sorry  to  j-ec 
them,  all  unprepared  as  I  am  ;"  and  when  the 
the  door  is  opened,  she  exclaims,  "  My   dea 
friends,  how  happy  I  am  to  see  you !"      And 
while  the  chatting  is  going  on,  the  common 
amount  of  the  marvellous,  of  flattery  and  cal 
unily,  are  put  in   circulation  ;  and   when  the 
visitors  arise  to  go,  the  lady  says,  "  Don't  be 
in  such  a  hurry,  I  do  wish  you  could  stay  lon- 
ger ;  and  when  they  arc  not  farther  off  than  the 
gate,  this  farce  is  concluded  by  her  adding,  "  I 
am  glad  they  are  gone," — what  does  she  think 
will,  I  do  not  now  ask,  become  of  herself,  but 
what  does  she  think  will   become  of  her  little 
son  and  daughter,  who  have  been  listening  to 
all  this  ?    When  this  son  or  daughter  shall 
toll  a  falsehooel,  the  mothtr    will  exprees  her 
surprise  and  grief,  and  no  doubt  honestly,  too  ; 
and  yet  the  child  may  think  or  feel  that  even 
this  her  sorrow  is  feigned,  for  if  stories  are  told 
to  others,  the  child  will  expect  to   be   treated 
in  a  similar  manner,  and  it  will  not  be  able  to 
explain  to  itself  why  that    conduct  in   the 
child   should   distress  the   parent,  which   the 
child  has  seen  to  be  the  parent's  fault.    And 
parents  not  only  give  their  children  examples 
of  falsehood   in  a  great  measure,  they  some- 
times threaten  to  punish  them   when  they  tell 
the  liuth.    Something  has  gone  wrong,.8ome  1 
article  of  furniture  is  damaged,  or   crockery 
broken.    The  littU  one   is  eallciL    "  Do  you 
unow  who  did  this?"    The  child  replies,  "I 
tlo  not  know,"  aud  leplies  truly  ;  but  the  pa- 
rent iusisis,  "  you  must  have  don  j  it ;  dout  de- 
ny it  ;  say  you  did  it  or  I'll  punish  you.   God, 
you  know,  is  displeased   with  liars."    Thus  is 
the  child,  by  the  fear  of  the  rod  and  of  Heav- 
en s  displeasure,  compelled  to  lie  to  avoid  be- 
ing corrected  for  maintaining  the  truth. 

The  time  would  fail  to  instance  only  a 
fragment  of  the  teaching  which  parents  incon- 
siderately and  unoonsciously  give  their  little 
ones  in  the  school  of  falsehood.  The  fathers 
and  the  mothers  will  fed  that  their  |inculca- 
tions  to  their  children  should  be  the  contrary 
of  all  this,  that  truth  should  ever  be  on  their 
lip.s,  things  be  called  their  right  names,  the 
white,  while  ;  the  bitter,  bitter  ;  the  sweet, 
sweet.  Honesty  is  the  best  poliey.  The  pure 
truth  accomplishes  dillicnlt  and  drairable  re- 
sults with  far  the  greater  ease.  Children  who 
know  just  what  to  expeet,  who  understand,  to 
the  lull  extent,  the  pain  and  the  bitterness  of 


remedies,  who  are  assured  that  they  suffer,  bnt 
that  it  ia  necessary,  it  is  for  their  good,  that 

'  it,  tmd  it  is  noble  and     men- 


lovely  to  suffer  with  patience  .  such  children 
will  exhibit  a  submission  and  fortitode,  which 
will  bring  tears  into  your  eyes.  Yea,  they  will 
open  their  mouths  to  receive  the  surgeon's  iron 
without  flinching,  and  they  will  drink  the 
nauseous  drug  faithfully  to  the  last  drop.  But 
ifyoudeceive  them,  they  will  resist,  they  will 
fear  equally  the  sweet  and  the  bitter.  If  they 
do  well,  they  have  no  reputation — no  praise 
for  doing  well,  because  first  assured  it  is  noth- 
ing which  they  had  to  do.  If  Utc  point  is  car- 
ried by  force,  alU  good  feeling  is  lost  ;  and  so, 
too.  if  the  child  succeed  in  resisting  the  right, 
familyifeeling  is  lost,  and  the  life  even  of  the 
sick  one  may  also  be  lost.  Honesty  is  the  best 
policy,  and  truth  the  beat  speech  in  a  family, 
for  parents  and  children  are  indeed  members 
one  of  another.  If  children  at  home  are  taught 
to  lie,  who,  pray,  will  teach  them  to  speak  the 
truth  ?  And  if  their  eternity  is  in  the  lake  of 
perdition,  where  all  liars  are,  on  whom  docs 
the  blood  of  their  souls  reste  if  not  on  their 
parents,  the  authors  of  their  existence  and  of 
their  destruction  ? 

Therefore  parents  be  true,  to  all  men— and 
more  so  to  your  children.  Be  careful  of  what 
your  lips  utter,  and  fear  Ihon  the  Lord. 

Negroes  and  People  of  Color. 
A  letter    dated,  Ann   Arbour,    Michigan, 
from   Mr.   Metzgur,  a   Lutheran    clergyman, 
gives  an  account  of  the   disrespectful  conduct 
of  the   Americans,  towards  Africans,  simply 
because  the  color  of  their  skins  islesa  fair  than 
their  eye  had  been  accustomed  to.     The  peru- 
sal of  this  drew  my  attention  to   a  statement 
made  by  Sir  i:venrd    Home,  some   years  [ago 
on  the  utility  of  the  black  substance  in   the 
skin  of  the  negro,  iu  preventing  the  scorching 
operation  of  the  sun's   rays,  aud   as  we  know 
that    nothing  tends  more  to  the   removal  of 
prejudice,  than   the  rectification  of  the  judg- 
ment upon  those  poiots  upon  which  it  may 
have  been  warped  by   false  impressions,  it  is 
possible,  that  some  might  be  induced  to  look 
with  respect  aud  benevolence  upon  those  they 
have  hitherto  slighted,  when  they  consider  that 
the  very  color  which  has  awakened   contrary 
dispositions,  is  an  indication  of    the  peculiar 
care  of  our  'Heavenly  Father  over   this   por- 
tion of  our  fellow-creatures. 
'    Some  yearp  ago,  Sir  Everard  Home,  at  a 
meeting  of  the  Royal  Society,  showed  that  by 
expos  iug  the  back  of  the  hand  or  other  parts 
of  the  body  to  the  sun's  rays'  they  become  irri- 
tated aud  inflamed,  small  specks  or  freckles 
first  appear,  aud  these,  on  continual   exposure 
rise  iuto   blisters.    The  same  ia  true,  if  the 
flesh  be  covered  with  thin   white   liueu,  but  if 
the  body   be  covered   with  a   piece  of  black 
crape,  though  it  will  be  hotter  when  exposure, 
to  the  sun,  yet  the  the  rays  will  no  longer  pro- 
duce blistres.    Thus  the  injurious  efl'ecl  of  the 
heat  of  llie  sun  may  be  prevented  by  an  artifi- 
cial blaekeuiug  of  the  skin.      How  strongly 
does  this  show  that  the  black  man,  though  too 
1  otten  contemptuously  treated  by  his  feliow-cit- 
izens,  is  not  beneath  the  notice  of  his  Creator  ; 
rather  may  we  consider  him  aa   continually 
carrying  about  with   him,  in  the   color  of  his 
skin,  the  memento  of  his  Heavenly  Father's 
mercy. 

The  depressed  and  degrading  circumaiances 
to  which  negroes  and  people  of  color  have 
been  subjected,  have  been  very  unfavorable  to 
the  developcuiant  of  tlieir  moral  aud  iutcUec- 
tural  character  ;  but  many  instances  of  talent 
and  piety  have  appeared,  uotwithstand.ng 
these  disadvantages,  which  are  sufficient    to 


raise  expectation  for  the  futore,  and  to  remove 
every  idea  of  their  natural  inferiojity  to  white 


THE  NEWS. 


California  News. 

Since  the  appearance^  oar  last,  the  num- 
ber of  facta,  though  few,  are  of  interest. 

The  EABTHgwAKE.— Last  Thursday  evening, 
about  ten  minutes  to  ^  o'clock,  a  considerable 
shock  of  earthquake  was  again  experienced  in 
our  eity.  The  afternoon  had  turned  suddenly 
cold,  but  whether  or  not  the  atmospherical 
change  had  aught  to  do  therewith,  we  cannot 
determine.  A  great  rumbling  noise  was 
heard  all  over  the  city,  at  which  numbers  of 
people  rushed  frighteoed  into  the  streets.  The 
windows  and  furniture  in  many  houses  were 
violently  agitated.  In  the  vicinity  of  the 
Custom  House,  being  near  the  bay,  the  shock 
was  felt  with  great  severity.  The  floor  of  Sul- 
livan's brick  building  rose  and  fell  as  if  being 
pryed  np,  while  the  bottles  and  jars  in  an 
apothecary  store,  opposite,  were  in  imminent 
jeopardy  of  being  thrown  from  their  shelves. 
We  learn  that  the  shock  was  keenly  felt 
throughout  the  whole  city,  both  east  and  west 
of  Montgomery  street,  hut  no  serious  damage 
accrued.  Tiie  shock  wit»  the  aevflfost  of  4ha- 
kind,  being  instanlenoup — one  vibration — we 
ever  experienced  in  California,  and  was  proba- 
bly the  mere  echo  ef  a  more  severe  earthquake 
elsewhere.  J 

The  Mines. — We  corilinue  to  hear  the 
most  lavorable  accounts  about  mining  opera- 
rations,  on  smaller  or  larger  scales,  from  every 
direction.  Water  is  in  abundance.  This 
contrasts  diametrically  with  that  from  the 
trading  portion  of  the  community,  who  com- 
plain not  only  of  hard,  but  of  ruinous  times. 
Crowds  of  men  who  wish  to  live  without  man- 
ual labor,  are  lounging  about  our  city.  They 
are  looking  out  for  fortunes,  and  the  proper 
road  to  it,  bard  labor,  does  not  appear  short 
enough  for  them.  We  are  glad  to  hear  that 
the  industrious  hand  is  reaping,  at  all  events, 
a  temporal  blessing. 

The  S^ate  Treasury. — No  less  a  sum  than 
$125,000  have  slipped  through  the  hands  of 
the  State  Treasurer,  and  no  honest  man  knows 
whither  they  have  gone.  We  bear  of  great 
excitement,  of  Committees  appointed,  of  Re- 
ports, Resolutiens,  and  the  whole  train  of 
terms  that,  in  general,  are  considered  by  us 
as  ominous — but  no  treasure  is  to  be  found. 
As  long  as  men  will  be  wicked,  such  evils 
will  never  be  cured  ;  but  they  may  be  remedied 
by  changing  the  Constitution.  Let  men  know 
that  their  oflices  are  secured  to  them  as  long 
as  they  contanue  honest  to  their  trust,  and 
good  men  will  devote  themselves  to  politics, 
and  honest  men  will  find  it  worth  their  while 
to  take,  or  continue  in  office.  But  as  affairs 
stand  now,  with  rare  exceptions,  nothing  but 
mismanagement  can  be  expected. 

Treasure. — The  treasure  shipped  by  the 
last  mail  amounted  ^1,6T0,CC7. 

Mortuary. — The  deaths  for  the  week  ending 
Saturday,  the  7th,  numbered  but  16;  being

ish  population  is  spread  over  all  Prussia,  there 
being  no  province  or  city,  as  in  the  neighbor- 
ing Austria  or  Russia,  from  which  they  are 
excluded.  It  amounted,  in  1852,  to  226,268 
souls.  It  is,  however,  remarked  that  while  the 
Jewish  population  in  all  other  provinces  in- 
creases, it  absolutely  diminishes  in  the  Duchy 
of  Posen.  In  1837,  it  formed  40  per  cent,  of 
the  total  population  ;  in  |1840,  about  39  ;  in 
1843,  about  38  ;  in  1849,  about  35  ;  and  in 
1853,  only  32  per  cent  of  the  total  population. 
The  decrease  is  ascribed  to  the  frequent  immi- 
gration of  the  Jews  to  America.  The  Jew- 
ish population  of  Berlin  amounts  to  9,995  ;  of 
Postn,  to  7,692;  of  Breslau,  to  7,463;  of 
Lisa,  to  3,109,  aud  of  Dautzic,  to  2,369  souls. 
These  belong  to  the  largest  congregations  in 
the  kingdom. 

FjsAhK  FORT  .—The  Senate  has  repealed  the 
law  which  prohibited  a  Christian  substitute 
from  serving  for  a  Jewish  conscript  among  the 

troops. 

Breslau.— A  friend  coming  directly  from  this 
city  informs  us,  that  the  Rev.  Doctors  Geiger 
and  'titkin,  now  live  on  tbo  boat  of  tcrmg. 
The  Congregation,  united  accotding  to  law, 
acknowledges  both  Rabbis,  Geiger  as  the 
preacher  aud  Titkiu  as  the  officiating  rabbi,  in 
religious  functions  except  the  solemnizing  of 
marriages.  Dr.  Geiger  is  preparing  for  publi- 
cation a  new  work,  the  poets  of  the  middle 
ages,  which  will  appear  some  time  this  winter. 
ArsTBiA. — According  to  the  census  of  1850, 
the  number  of  Iscaelites  in  the  Austrian  em- 
pire has  increased  to  853,204. 

Dr.  Frankel's  monthly  periodical  reports 
that,  in  the  Austrian  capital,  a  seminary  is 
going  to  be  opened  for  the  proper  instruction 
of  cantors  or  readers  in  the  Synagogue. 

Turkey. — We  learn  from  the  Jeshurun  that 
the  Sultan,  some  months  ago,  ordered  all  Rab- 
bis throughout  the  kingdom  to  establish 
schools. 

The  Holy  Laud. — The  Protestant  mission- 
aries at  Jerusalem  will  find  a  rival  in  a  Roman 
Catholic  ecclesiastic,  who  has  chosen  the  same 
field  for  his  sphere  of  activity.  We  learn 
from  the  Archives  Israelites  that  the  Abbe 
Theodore  de  Ratisbonne,  of  Paris,  a  deserter 
from  the  Jewish  ranks,  has  gone  to  Jerusalem 
in  the  company  of  a  number  of  nuns  of  the 
order  of  ISotre  Dame  de  Sion,  which  he  has 
founded.  Poor  Jews,  may  their  lot  not  be 
that  of  the  lamb  iu  the  fable,  describing  the 
contest  between  the  bear  and  the  wolf.  - 

Algeria. — The  French  commandantof  Con- 
stantine  e.\empted  from  service  all  Jewish  sol- 
diers during  the  last  holydays  at  the  re(iuest 
of  the  Chief  Rabbi.  The  members  of  the 
congregation  invited  their  military  coreligion- 
ists  as  their  guests,  providing  tor  them  during 
those  solemn  days.

JUVENILE. 


Boys  and  Glrl«  Mind  your  Mother 
Come  children,  here  is  a  story  for  yoa.  I 
want  you  all  to  come  together  and  listen.  I 
was  a  child  once,  and  I  recollect  a  little  how 
chiidrenjesl_J^m  a  man  now,  but  I  have 
had-Samuch  to  do  with  children  as  I  have  had 

with  met). 

I  snppose  you  all  have  a  mother.  What  I 
want  to  tell  you  now  is,  how  you  ought  to  treat 
yonr  mother.  When  I  was  a  boy  no  larger  than 
you  are,  my  mother  used  to  tell  me,  that  she 
never  knew  any  one  to  prosper,  who  did  not 
trent  \,\o  Hwtber  well.  She  said'  th..t  when 
she  was  young,  she  knew  several  children  who 
did  not  honor  their  mothers,  and  that  they  all 
came  to  a  bad  end. 

There  were  several  boys  among  my  acquain- 
tances, whom  I  knew  to  have  disobeyed  and 
ill-trc8ted  their  mothers.  I  thought  I  would 
remember  them  and  see  how  they  turned  out 
in  the  world.  1  Should  think  it  was  as  much 
us  artceu  years  ago.  I  will  call  these  boys, 
Wilfiam,  Geo  ge  and  Herbert.  I  remembar 
as  distiBCily  as  though  it  were  but  yesterday. 
Thoy  were  my  classmates  at  school.  I  remem- 
ber their  mother  perfectly  well,  for  many  a 
play  alternoonhave  I  spent  at  their  housts. 

William  was  a  very  pleasant  boy  and  a  fine 
scholar,  but  he  had  many  bad  ways,  which 
threatened  to  ruin  him.  One  afternoon  I  was 
at  his  father's  house.  We  were  playing  on  the 
green  in  front  ot  the  door.  Wilham's  mother 
stepped  upon  the  door-stone  and  called  him. 
We  were  busily  engaged  in  play  with  some 
other  boys,  and  William  took  no  notice  of  his 
mother's  call.  After  she  had  spoken  several 
times,  he  stopped  a  moment  to  hear  what  she 

had  to  say. 

"  1  want  you  to  go  down  to  the  store,  and 
carry  this  box  to  your  father,"  said  his  moth- 
er, 


"  But  I  don't  want  to  go,  mother." 

"  Well,  you  must  go. " 

"  But  I  am  playing  and  can't  go." 

"  William  I  tell  you,  you  must  go,  for  your 
father  nmst  have  this  immediately." 

Just  then  one  side  of  the  party  who  were 
playing  ball  had  beaten  the  other.  William 
heard  the  merry  hurra  and  exclaimed,  "  Well, 
I  wont  go  there."  He  pidied  up  a  stick,  and 
throwing  it  at  his  mother,  ran  eagerly  off  to 
join  the  victors.  I  turnul  just  in  time  to  see 
the  stick  fall  from  his  mother's  dress,  and  to 
see  how  sad  she  looked  as  she  went  into  the 

house. 

1  never  before  saw  a  boy  strike  his  mother, 
and  it  made  me  feel  so  badly  that  I  could  not 
pluy.  1  told  the  boys  I  believed  I  must  go 
home.  I  walked  away,  thinking  of  what  my 
niolher  had  told  me.  I  thought  I  would  always 
remember  William  und  m,-e  if  he  prospered. 

I'erhaps  it  would  have  beeu  better  if  ^^  il- 
liam's  mother  hud  spoken  more  kiudly  to  him, 
but  that  was  no  excuse  for  William.  But 
what  I  wanted  to  tell  you  is,  what  became  of 
him.  Before  he  grew  up  be  was  taken  very 
flick,  and  after  many  years  of  great  suffering  he 

died. 

The  next  boy  was  George.    His  mother  in 


do  pretty  much  as  be  chose,  anylErng~Br 
wanted  she  was  sure  to  do  for  him,  but  any- 
thing she  wanted  he  was  fure  not  to  do  for  her. 
Ip  fact,  he  seemed  to^have  much  less  regard 
for  his  mother  than  for  aojildernBchoiar;  who 
used  to  be  a  leader  in  our  sports.  He  never 
min'ded  anything  his  mother  faid  to  him,  and 
his  mother  might  as  well  have  talked  to  the 
currant  bushc3  in  the  gar.len .  as  have  asked 
him  to  do  an  errand.  He  always  acted  as  if 
he  felt,  if  he  did  not  say, "  I  don't  care  for  my 
mother." 

Well,  George  is  dead,  too.  He  became 
dissipated,  lost  his  character,  and  died  a  mis- 
erable death. 

'  Herbert  was  much  like  William  and  George, 
—worse  if  anything.     He  not  only  did  not 
care  for  what  his  mother  said,  but  used  to  rid- 
icule her  before  the  other  boys.     He  used  to 
do  it,  to  be  sure,  in  a  good-humored  way.    He 
wanted  to  be  looked  upon  by  his  companions  as 
being  funny— but  funny  boys  usually  are  fool- 
ish boys.    True  the  other  boys  laughed  at  his 
antics  ;  so  they  do  at  all   fofels  and  fooleries. 
And  be  sure,  while  they  laugh  at  your  lun, 
they  do  not  think  yon  a  btftlw  bey  for  it.   But 
I  must  come  back  to  Herbert.    And  I  tell  you 
he  behaved  very  disrespectruUy  to  his  grieved 
mother.     And  what  do  you  suppose  became 
ofj Herbert?    His   end  was  more  miserable 
than  that  of  William  and  George.    I  shall  not 
tell  ^ou  exactly  what  became  of  him,  for  it  is 
a  more  dreadful  story  than  I  love  to  relate.     I 
only  shall  hint,  and  you  will  know  what  I  mean. 
You  recollect  one  Sabbath— it  was  a  few  days 
after  some  very    bad  men  had   come   to    a 
very  ignominious  death  in  this   city.    One  of 
them  was  less  sensible  to  his  shameful  end,  to 
his  gross  crimes',  and  to  the  doom  staring   him 
in  the  face  than  the  other.     But  one  thought— 
Oh  what  an  awftl   one  !— preyed  on  his  dis- 
tressed, sin-stained  mind,  it  was  the  idea  of  the 
misery  which  he  knew   the   news  of  his  end 
would  inflict  upon  his  distressed  mother  in  the 
Bast— and  his  last  word*  were,  ,"  Oh !  my  poor 
mother."    You  know  now  ;  it  was   when  our 
dear    Harriett— who  in   no  one  instant  has 
given,  me  cause  of  camplaint,  but  who  perhaps, 
may  not  be  so  good  a  child  to  her  mother  as 
she  is  a  scholar  to  her  teacher— I  say  perhaps, 
and  if  it  is  the  case,  let  her  thank  God   that 
there  is  time  still  to  mend,  while  her  mother  is 
ahve.    I  say  it  was  that  Sabbath  when  Har- 
riet, deeply  moved  at  fhe  example  whicK  I  held 
up  to  you,  much   was  so    affected  that   she 
broke  out  in  an  abundant  torrent  of  tears. 
You  remember  1     Now  to  such  an  end  came 
the  lamented  boy  Herbert. 

May  you,  my  dear  boys,  and  my  lovely  little 
girls  mind  this  story,  and  whenever  your  will, 
or  your  temper  incline  you  to  cast  a  disrespect- 
ful look  a  t  your  loving  mother,  or  to  coun- 
teract her  wishes,  think  of  William,  George, 
and  Herbert,  and  of  the  sad  story  to  which  I 
alluded.  And  remember  also  what  the  Bible 
tells  you  in  the  Book  of  Prov.  30:17,  "  The 
eye  that  mocketh  at  his  father,  and  despiseth 
to  obey  his  mother,  the  ravens  of  the  valley 
shall  pick  it  out,  and  the  young  eagles  shall 
eat  it.

Mount  Hor. 
Or  the  Tontb  of  Aaron  • 

On  the  borders  of  Idumea,  about  half  way 
between  the  Dead  and  Red  Seas,  in  the  wild- 
erness of  Arabia,  is  situated  Mount  Hor,  the 
memorable  spot  on  which  the  first  High  Priest 
of  Israel  was  buried  some  3,500  years  ago. 

We  give  the  following  description  from 
Incidents  of  Travel. 

"  A  man  rising  from  a  tomb  with  all  his 
clothes  on  does  not  require  much  time  for  the 
arrangement  of  his  toilet.  In  less  than  half  an 
hour  we  had  breakfasted,  and  were  again  on 
our  way.  Forgetting  all  that  had  engrossed 
my  thoughts  and  feelings  the  day  before,  I  now 
fixed  my  eyes  upon  the  tomb  of  Aaron,  on  the 
summit  of  Mount  Hor.  The  mountain  was 
high,  towering  above  all  the  rest,  bare  and 
ragged  to  its  very  summit,  without  a  tree  or 
even  a  bush  growing  on  its  sterile  side ;  and 
our  road  lay  directly  along  its  base.  The 
Bedouins  again  began  to  show  an  unwilling- 
ness to  allow  my  visit  to  the  tomb ;  and  the 
sheik  himself  told  me  that  it  would  take  half 
the  day,  and  perhaps  be  the  means  of  bringing 
upon  me  some  of  the  horde  I  had  escaped.  I 
saw  that  they  were  disposed  to  prevent  me 
from  accomplishing  my  object ;  and  I  felt  snro 
that,  if  we  met  any  strange  Arabs,  my  purpose 
would  certainly  be  defeated.  I  suspected  them 
of  stratagem,  and  began  to  think  of  resorting 
to  stratagem  for  myself.  They  remembered 
the  sheep,  however,  and  told  me  that  the  sacri- 
fice could  as  well  be  performed  at  the  base  as 
on  the  summit  of  the  mountain ;  but  this ,  of 
course,  would  not  satisfy  my  conscience. 


With  my  eyes  constantly  fixed  on  the  top 
of  the  mountain,  I  had  thought  for  some  time 
that  it  would  not  be  impracticable  to  ascend 
from  the  side  on  which  I  was.  Paul  and  I  ex- 
amined the  localities  as  carefully  as  a  couple  of 
engineers  seeking  an  assailable  place  to  scale 
the  wall  of  a  fortified  city  ;  and  afraid  to  wait 
till  they  had  matured  some  plan  of  opposing 
me,  determined  to  take  them  by  surprise  ;  and 
throwing  myself  from  my  horse,  and  telling 
Paul  to  say  that  we  would  climb  the  mountain 
here,  and  meet  them  on  the  other  side,  I  was 
almost  out  of  hearing  before  they  had  recover- 
ed from  their  ostooishmeDt.  Paul  followed 
me,  and  the  sheik  and  his  men  stood  for  some 
time  without  moving,  irresolute  what  to  do ; 
and  it  was  not  until  we  had  advanced  consid- 
erably on  the  mountain  that  we  saw  the  cara- 
van again  slowly  moving  along  its  base*  None 
of  them  offered  to  accompany  us,  though  we 
should  have  been  glad  to  have  one  or  two  with 
OS  on  our  expedition. 

For  some  distance  we  found  the  ascent  suffi- 
ciently smooth  and  easy — much  more  so  than 
that  of  Mount  Sinai — and,  so  far  we  could  see 
before  us,  it  was  likely  to  continue  so  all  the 
way  up.  We  were  railing  at  the  sheik  for 
wanting  to  carry  us  around  to  the  other  side, 
and  congratulating  ourselves  upon  having  at- 
tempted it  here,  when  we  came  to  a  yawning 
and  precipitous  chasm,  opening  its  horrid  jaws 
almost  from  the  very  base  of  the  mountain. 
From  the  distance  at  which  we  had  marked 
oat  our  route,  the  ineqoalities  of  surface  could 
not  be  distinguished,  but  here  it  wai^  quite  an- 
other thing.    We  stood  on  the  brink  of  the

chasm,  and  looked  at  each  other  in  blank 
amazement ;  and  at  a  long  distance,  as  they 
wound  along  the  base  of  the  mountain,  I 
thought  I  could  see  a  quiet  smile  of  derision. 
We  stood  upon  the  edge  of  the  chasm,  look- 
ing down  its  deep  abyss,  like  the  spirits  of  tho 
departed  lingering  on  the  shores  of  tho  Styx, 
vainly  wishing  for  a  ferryman  to  carry  us  over, 
and  our  case  seemed  perfectly  hopeless  with- 
out some  such  aid.  But  the  days  when  genii 
and  spIVits  lent  their  kind  assistance  to  the 
sons  of  men  are  gone ;  if  a  man  finds  himself  in 
a  ditch,  he  must  get  out  of  it  as  well  as  he 
can,  and  so  it  was  with  us  on  the  brink  of  this 
chasm.  Bad,  however,  as  was  our  prospect  in 
looking  forward,  we  had  not  yet  begun  to  look 
back  ;  and  as  soon  as  we  saw  that  there  was  no 
possibility  of  getting  over  it,  we  began  to  de- 
scend ;  and  groping,  sliding,  jumping,  and  hold 
ing  on  with  hands  and  feet,  we  reached  tho 
bottom  of  the  gull;^;  and,  after  another  hard 
half  hour's  toil,  were  resting  our  weaied  limbs 
upon  the  opposite  brink,  at  about  the  samo 
elevation  as  that  of  the  place  from  which  we 
had  started.

AN  HISTORICAL  FACT. 


[  CONTIMUXO.  ] 

"It  was  shortly  before  the   Ohristmng  of 
1842,  when  he  went,  together  with  a  respect- 
able  farmer  of  the  neighborhood,  the  Re?.  Mr. 
Linqvist,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Spedmark,  to  the 
cottage  where  a  child   lived,  who,  by   all  ac- 
counts, had  advanced  to   the  highest  stage  of 
the  disease.    Many  persons  besides    himself 
and  his  friends  were  present.      As  regards  all 
the    three   children,   he   pays  that,   for  their 
age,  as  is  generally  the  case  in  Sweden,  they 
were  tolerably  well  informed  on  religious  nat- 
ters, and  could  read  well.    They  were  natural- 
ly of  good  disposition,  and  now,  since  they  had 
been  subject  to  tl^  disease,  were  remarkable 
for  their  gentleness  and  quiet  dameaor.  Their 
manners  were  simple,  as  those  of  peasant  chil- 
dren ;  but,  being  bashful   and  timid,  were  not 
inclined  to  give  much  description  of*  the  feel- 
ings and  experience :  still,  from  the  few  words 
they  spoke,  it  was  evident  that,  like  the  rest  of 
the  peasantry  and  their  own  relatives,  they  con- 
sidered it  a  divine  influence,  but  still  asserted 
that  they  knew  not  exactly  what  to  think  ei. 
ther  of  themselves  or  their  situations.     When 
in  the  trance,  they  declared  that  they  were  ex- 
ceedingly well ;  that  they  had   never  been  so 
cheerful,  or  felt  so  much  pleasure  before.    On 
being  awoke,  however,  they  complained,  some- 
times even  with  tears,  of  weakness  in  the  limbs, 
pain  in  the  chest,  headache,  4c. 

"  In  the  particular  case  of  the  oue  child  to 
which  we  have  referred,  the  symptoms  were 
precisely  the  same  :  there  came  on,  in  the  first 
place,  a  violent  trembling  or  quaking  of  the 
limbs,  and  she  fell  backwards  with  so  much  vi- 
olence as  to  give  the  spectator  a  most  painful 
sensation — but  no  apparent  injury  ensued.  The 
patient  was  now  in  a  trance,  or  state  of  total 
linconsciousness,  and  this  trance,  which  lasted 
■everal  hours,  divided  itssif  into  two  stages, 
acts,  or  scenes,  totally  different  in  character. 
In  the  first  place,  she  rose  up  violently,  and  all 
her  actions  were  of  a  rapid  and  violent  char^ 
kctcr.  She  caught  at  the  hands  of  the  people 
•round  her  ;  some  she  instantly  flpng  aside,  as 
if  the  effect  produced  by  them  was  repugnant 
to  her ;  others  she  held  gently,  patted,  and 
rubbed  softly  :  and  these  the  people  called 
'  good  bands.'* 

"  Sometimes  she  made  signs,  as  if  she  were 
pouriug  out  something,  which  she  appeared  to 
drink  ;  and  it  was  said  by  her  father  and  an- 
other man  present,  that  she  could  detect  any 
one  in  the  company  who  had  been  dram-drink- 
ing ;  and  she  would  in  this  way  represent  ev- 
ery glass  he  had  taken.  She  went  through — 
for  what  purpose  it  seems  impossible  to  say — 
the  operation  of  loading,  presenting,  and  firing 
a  gun,  and  performed  most  dramatically  a  pu- 
gili3tic  combat,  in  which  she  alooe  sustained 
and  represented  the  action  of  both  parties  ;  she 
likewise  acted  the  part  of  a  person  dressing  ; 
and  what  rendered  all  this  most  extraordinary 
was,  that,  though  she  was  but  a  simple,  bashful 
peasant  child,  clad  in  her  peasant's  dress— a 
,  sheepskin  jacket — yet  all  her  actions  and  move- 
ments were  free,  and  full  of  the  raost  dramatic 
eflect :  powerful  and  vigorous  when  represent-

moral  or  immoral  state  of  those  with  whom  they 
come  in  contact,  they  feel  an  aversion  for  tbe  for- 
mer, and  shrink  back  as  from  venomous  reptiles, 
from  the  latter.  What  a  suKgestive  lesson  1  We

ing  manly  action,  and  so  indbecribably  grace- 
ful and  easy,  and  full  of  sentiment,  when  per- 
sonating female  occupations,  as  to  amaze  tbe 
more  cultivated  spectators ;  and,  as  the  bishop 
says,  '  to  be  far  more  like  the  motions  of  an 
image  in  a  dream  than  a  creature  of  flesh 
and  blood.'  Another  circumstance  is  peculiar  : 
although  these  children  differed  from  each  oth- 
er in  their  natural  state,  yet,  while  under  the 
influence  of  the  disease,  their  countenances  be- 
came so  similar  as  greatly  to  resemble  each 
other.  y 

"  To  return  now  to  the  child  who  had  ad- 
vanced into  the  second  stage  of  the  trance  ; 
this  was  characterized  by  a  beautiful  calmness 
of  demeanor  and  countenance  ;  and  with  her 
arms  folded  meekly  on  her  breast,  she  began  to 
preach.  Her  manner  in  speaking  was  that  of 
the  purest  oratory  ;  her  tones  were  earnest  and 
solemn,  and  the  language  of  that  high  spiritual 
character  which,  when  awake,  it  would  have 
been  impossible  for  her  to  use. 

"  The  little  discourse  ran  some  what  as  fol- 
lows, for  the  bishop  noted  it  do  ivb  on  his  return 
home  : — 

"  '  My  friends,  let  us  tnrn  from  the  evil  of 
our  ways  ;  let  us,  my  friends  !  The  Lord  wishes 
it.  Think  how  pleasant  it  would  be  to  come 
to  Him ;  and  if  we  would  we  might.  He  does 
not  desire  that  any  one  shonld  perish  :  from  the 
lowest  depths  of  hell  all  may  be  saved,  and 
come  to  him ;  and  if  we  would  we  might.  He 
does  not  desire  that  any  one  should  perish  : 
from  the  lowest  depths  of  hell  all  may  be  saved, 
and  come  to  Him.  How  pleasant  it  will  be  to 
come  to  Him  ;  to  receive  our  wedding  gar- 
ments, and  sit  down^with  Him.  0,  how  pleas- 
ant that  will  be  1 

"  '  But  if  we  will  not  turn  to  Him,  we  com- 
mit great  sin  and  grieve  Him.  Think,  if  He 
meet  us  with  angry  looks  ;  think,  if  He  bid  us 
go  to  the  left  side !  to  the  place  of  darkness, 
where  we  are  separated  from  him !  Knock 
gently,  knock  gently,  my  friends,  and  He  will 
certainly  open  to  yon. 

"  '  Then  let  us  now,'my  dear  friends,  raise  a 
sigh — a  good  sigh — which  shall  penetrate 
through  the)  clouds  to  heaven  I  Let  us  go 
on  in  the  narrow  way  ;  let  us  go  in  the  thorny 
path  1  Will  you  not  go  there  T  Then  I  will 
go  there  myself  alone  ;  but  go  you  also,  and  do 
not  think  that  it  is  painful !  It  is  not  painful 
if  we  only  go  to  the  place  of  bliss  I  And  though 
I  am  young,  and  my  words  are  those  of  a  child, 
yet  you  must  believe  tlem.  Although  they 
are  the  words  of  a  child,  they  are  meant  for 
your  well  being  1  For  God's  sake,  believe 
them,  dear  friends  1' 

"  Such  were  some  of  the  words  of  the  child, 
who,  in  this  extraordinary  state,  had  something 
saintlike  in  her  appearance.  Her  utterance- 
was  soft  and  clear  :  not  a  word  was  retracted 
or  repeated  :  and  her  voice,  which  in  her  wak- 
ing state  had  a  peculiar  hoarseness,  had  now 
a  wonderful  brilliancy  of  tone,  which  produced 
grent  effect.  The  whole  assembly  observed  the 
deepest  silence,  and  many  wept. 

"  These  children,  during  all  the  time  they 
were  subject  to  this  influence,  had,  as  the  pa- 
rents stated,  tolerably  good  appetites,  although 
they  were  particular  as  to  the  food  they  ate, 
taking  by  preference,  milk  and  fruit,  especially 
dried  apples  and  cherries,  of  which  it  was  ne- 
cessary for  the  parents  to  keep  a  good  stock  on 
hand. 

"  Th  e  bishop  tells  us  that  these  childre 
were  cured  by  medicines  which  he  himself  pro- 
cured for  them.  The  diseaBe,according  to  his 
account,  was  frequently  cured  thus,  though 
generally  in  its  earlier  stages.  He  does  not 
anywhere  state  that  death  was  the  conse- 
quence of  it ;  though  he  says  that  the  patient 


sometimes  foretold  his  own  death.  He  tells 
us,  that  many  of  tbe  '  quaking  people ' 
were  taken  to  the  hospitals,  and  on  their  arri- 
val there  were  found  to  be  free  from  any  s>mj>- 
tom  of  the  disease  whatever ;  but  scarcely  had 
they  returned  home,  when  it  again  appeared  in 
its  full  force. 

"  Many  individuals  also,  by  means  of  a  firm 
will  and  a  faithful  endeavor  to  counteract  it, 
succeeded  in  doing  so.  Others,  on  the  contrary 
from  their  belief  of  the  disease  being  of  a  di- 
vine character,  became  predisposed  for  the 
contagion,  both  bodily  and  mentally ;  and 
thus,  being  attacked,  helped  to  make  it  worse 
by  their  own  superstition  and  submission 
toit. 

"  He  concludes  by  saying,  that  as  the  phe- 
nomenon in  [question  lay  out  of  the  sphere  of 
human  knowledge  and  experience,  its  extraor- 
dinary and  miraculous  character  struck  the 
mind  with  awe,  which  produced  a  very  gen- 
eral religious  movement  among  the  perfectly 
healthy  portion  of  the  community.  The  con- 
sequence of  this  has  been  to  send  multitudes  of 
persons  to  the  churches  and  meeting-houses, 
who  otherwise  would  never  have  gone  there  ; 
and  in  many  instances  it  has  effected  the  most 
vital  change  in  life  and  sentiments.  Many  a 
one  has  thus  become  a  diligent  reader  of  the 
Scriptures,  and  has  been  weaned  from  drunk- 
enness and  other  vices ;  and  showy  dresses, 
crooked  combs,  dancing,  and  the  much  abhor- 
red May-pole  merriment,  in  many  parts,  have 
fallen  into  disuse.  The  bishop  himself  saw  by 
the  roadside  a  May-pole  which  had  been  cut 
down  from  this  cause  ;  and  he  also  knew  a 
poor  man  who  gained  his  livelihood  by  fiddling, 
who  burnt  his  violin,  that  it  might  not  be  a 
cause  of  sin  to  himself  or  others.  How  like  is 
this  to  many  a  passage  in  the  books  of  the 
early  Quakers  If 

"  In  the  province  of  Skaraborg  alone,  where 
the  disease  did  not  prevail  so  generally 
as  in  other  parts,  the  number  of  persons  af- 
flicted with  it  amounted,  in  1843,  to  from  two 
to  three  thousand  ;  and  in  this  province  many 
healthy  people,  particularly  boys,  gave  them- 
selves out  as  belonging  to  this  class,  and  ram- 
bled from  place  to  place,  making  religious  har- 
angues, and  thus  gaining  a  good  livelihood. 
These  impostors  were  often  mistaken  for  the 
preaching  diseased,  and  through  their  means 
as  in  other  cases,  honest  afflictid  persons  were 
brought  into  discredit,  and  very  often  made  to 
suffer. 

"  As  in  the  case  of  the  bishop  of  Skara,  the 
clergy,  throughout  the  districts  where  the  dis- 
ease prevailed,  used  all  the  means  in  their  pow- 
er to  put  a  stop  to  it,  but  in  vain  ;  the  gover- 
nors of  the  provinces  then  interfered.  Medical 
men  were  sent  ont :  many  of  the  patients 
placed  in  ho8pitals,and  others  were  attended  at 
Lome  ;  and  by  the  end  of  1843,  the  disease  had 
almost  ceased  to  exist.  Nothing  of  the  kind 
seems  to  prevail  at  present  :  but  as  I  am  in- 
formed by  a  Swedish  clergyman,  the  good  ef- 
fect produced  by  it  on  the  minds  of  many  an 
otherwise  hardened  sinner,  remains  to  testify 
of  its  troth  and  reality,  although  no  one,  wheth- 
er learned  in  the  science  of  physical  or  spirit- 
ual life,  can  yet  explain  the  cause  and  nature 
of  this  extraordinary  mental  phenomenon." 

A  dancing  mania  extended  throughout  the 
whole  of  Germany  in  1374.  The  "  sufferers" 
neither  saw  nor  beard,  being  sensible  to  no  ex- 
ternal impressions  through  the  sense8,but  were 
haunted  by  visions,  their  fancies  conjuring  up 
spirits,  whose  names  they  shrieked  out ;  and 

tXhese  pbenomenon,  being  the  natural  result  of 
our  constitution,  are  alike  in  different  ages,  conn« 
tries,  etc.  This  fact  i>  most  strikingly  Illustrated

felt  as  if  they  had  been  immersed  in  a  streaml

others,  during  the  paroxysm,  saw  the  heavcnjj

Affectionate   Advice    to    a  Married 
Couple. 

ADAPTED  PROM  REV.  JAMES  BSaV,  A.  U. 

The  marriage  relation  is  the  most  important! 
of  any  you  are  capable  of  forming  in  life.  Itl 
is  not  your  happiufss  only,  but  that  of  otheril 
also,  that  may  be  affected  by  an  improper  bft.1 
havior  in  this  connection.  It  is  a  union  coni 
stituted  with  a  view,  not  merely  to  the  recipJ 
rocal  benefit  of  the  two  persons  who  agree  to 
form  it,  but  likewise  to  [the  manners  and  th«| 
happiness  of  society  at  large. 

Smaller  communities  are  the  nurseries  ofl 
arger  ones.     At  a  certain  time  of  life,  a  trans- 1 
plantation  is  made  ;  and  the  larger  field  of  so- 
ciety takes  its  character    from  those  qualities 
wliich  wpre  brought  into  it  from  the  little   en- 
closures of  family  life.     You  are  therefore  not 
to  consider  yourselves  merely  as  two  friends 
who  have  agreed   to  share  each  other's  triali 
and  enjoyments  ;  but  as  the  founders  of  a  lit-j 
tic  community  of  rational  and  immortal  crea-[ 
tures,  who  may   hereafter  found   other  small 
communities,  and   from   whom,  in  process  ofl 
time,  a  multitude  may  spring.     To  this  multi-[ 
tude,  stationed  here  and  there  according  to  the  I 
allotments   of  Divioej  Providence,  you   mayj 
give  a  cast  of  character,  the  influence  of  which 
may  be  mattqt.  of  pleasure  or  of  pain,  both  to 
themselves  an(i  those  with  whom  they  are  con- 
nected, long  after  you  have  ceased  to  act  in  the  I 
presentjscene.     And  though  you  may  never 
move  far  from  the  spot  on  which  these  observa-[ 
tions  are  addressed  to  you  :  yea,  and  ere  long  I 
be  forgotten  even  in  this  little  circle  ;  yet  tbe  I 
good  or  evil  influence  of  yonr  conduct  on  Ibisj 
circumscribed  spot  may  take  such  a  range  ai 
to  be  felt  where  the  name  even  of  your  country  | 
is  scarcely  known. 

But  even  this,  though  a  large  view  of  the  I 
possible  extent  of  your  influence,  is  compara-f 
lively  but  a  confined  one.  It  may  be  felt  to  I 
eternity.  The  members  of  your  family  are  imf 
mortal.  Such  also  will  be  their  successors! 
They  will  not  only  have  a  place  in  society,  but! 
an  account  to  render  to  God  at  the  great  an-| 
dit  of  the  world,  to  receive  according  to  their  I 
ways  and  works  whether  they  be  good  or  I 
bad  ;  they  may  be  in  |some  measure  indebted,! 
for  the  terror  or  the  transport  they  may  feelj 
in  that  solemn  state. 

From  these  considerations,  see  the  impor-l 
tance  of  your  connecion,  and  accept  of  that  I 
advice  which  we  feel  our  duty  to  address  to  | 
you. 

I  willlconsider  you  as  fellow-travellers  on  tlej 
road  of  life  ;  not  brought  together  by  accident,  T 
or  as  those  who  have  consented  to  keep  to- 
gether on  the  journey  merely  from  a  regard  to  I 
convenience ;  but  from  a  cordial  esteem  uf| 
each  other,  heightened  by  a  tender  attachment  I 
which  has  led  you  to  make  choice  of  each  otli-[ 
er  as  companions,  independent   of  a  view  to  I 
the  conveniences  of  travelling   in   compaDyT 
You  have  given  yourselves  up  to  each  other; 
and  have  in  the  pnsence  of  God  pledged  your- 
selves to  bear  each  other's  burthens,  to  con- 
sult each  other's  peace  of  mind,  and  to  concur  j 
invariably  in  endeavoring  to  render  the  jour-[ 
ney  as  pleasant  to  each  other  as  possible.  Thus! 
conjoined,  you  have  committed  a  trust  to  each  I 
other.

POETRY. 


/  The  Bride. 

She  stood  before  the  altar  screen. 

Beneath  the  gray  arched  temple  pile, 
And  o'er  her  fell  the  crystal  sheen 

Of  morning's  richest  tunny  smile  : 
Zoned  in  the  golden  flood  of  light. 

To  earth  she  scem'd  not  to  belong ; 
Or  if  to  earth,  her  form  was  bright 

As  seraphs  loved  when  earth  was  young. 

Yet  she  was  pnic— aud  sooth  a  tear 

Was  trembling  in  her  lucent  eye, 
As  thou},'h  some  Ihougbt,  to  memory  dear. 

Was  rising  with  a  rising  sigh  : 
And  thoughts  most  dear  were  thcc  that  rose  ; 

For  though  her  love  were  seaUd  on  one. 
Yet  never  cun  the  heart's  leaves  close 

On  kindness  past,  or  memory  shun. 

For  she  had  left  the  home  of  years, 

'I'he  nestling  place  of  infant  days,  . 
And  she  had  set  her  foot  where  tears 

Too  olL^n  mur  sweet  woman's  wajs ; 
And  she  bad  laid  a  fond  warm  heart 

As  ever  beat  at  love's  bri;;ht  shrine, 
VtAk  HittVHuited  vow*  "  4iil  rlfnlli  tin  part, 

Devotedly  thine— only  thine." 

The  chain  of  gold  around  her  flung. 

The  clustered  jewels  on  her  hand. 
Were  gathered  where  hot  tears  were  wrung. 

From  toil  at  wealth's  untamed  command. 
Then  ne'er  can  those  meet  emblems  be 

'I'o  show  the  wealth  which  they  unfold  ; 
For  hand  and  heart,  where  love  is  free. 

Cast  shade  on  jewels,  gems,  and  gold. 
In  joyous  hour,  or  worldly  strife. 

In  cloud  or  sunshine,  she  will  stand. 
An  angel  in  the  paths  of  life. 

To  scatter  blessings  from  her  hand  : 
And  say  not  woman's  love  is  light. 

Her  constancy  oft  worn  in  pride  ; 
For  never  was  she  first  to  slight 

The  vows  of  love  that  sealed  her— bride. 


Excess  Eetrogresses,  Stability  Progresses. 
Reproof. 

These  lines  copied  from  the  Asmonean,'So.— 
are  highly  suggestive.  The  retrogressive  steps 
of  the  Berlin  reform  congregation  show  us  that, 
as  our  timx;  is  so  busy  in  pulling  down— the 
necessary  effect  of  former  extremis— there  will 
come  a  time  for  again  cojlcctiug  the  good  of 
the  rejected  matciial,  XOTthe  reconstruction  of 
the  Temple.  ,  / 

The  imperative  demands  of  the  times  crowd- 
ing out,  even  unconsciously,  the  cumbersome 
machinery  of  the  Middle  Ages,  is  embodied 
in  the  furniture  even  of  the  Berlin  old  Syna- 
agogue. 

The  disregard  of  modern  times  towards  sar 
cred  objects  of  former  times,  which  though  an- 
tiquated, are  much  more  calculated  to  culti- 
vate in  us  reverence,  than  the  spkndor  of  mod- 
ern saloons  and  concert  rooms,  is  delicately  re* 
buked  by  the  purchase  of  the  old  chandelier

Berlin. 

Sy.haooocb  of  the  Reformed  Jews. — A 
large  congregation  assembled  to  listen  to  the 
eloquent  discourse  preached  by  Dr.  Holdheim. 
It  was  the  Feast  of  Weeks.  Dr.  H.  spoke 
very  strongly  as  to  the  necessity  of  a  Divine 
rcvela*^ion  in  order  to  guide  us  in  matters  of 
religion.  Hitherto,  alas,  the  Reform  Society 
in  Berlin,  while  anxious  to  get  rid  of  the  rub- 
bish which  has  accumulated  during  the  centu- 
ries that  the  Rabbis  h  ive  ruled  in  Israel,  and 
the  priesthood  has  been  forgotten,  has  done 
hut  little  to  acknowledge  the  authority  of  the 
Divine  Liw,  but  a  better  spirit  is  beginning 
to  prevail.

I  became  acquainted  with  many  facts  which 
tend  to  show  that  a  decided  change  for  the 
better  has  taken  place  among  them.  It  would, 
however,  require  a  more  detailed  statement 
than  can  be  conveniently  introduced  in  the 
course  of  this  narrative,  in  order  to  do  justice 
to  the  subject.  These  will  form  the  substance 
of  a  separate  article  to  which  it  will  be  well  to 
refer,  to  come  to  remarkable  circumstances 
which  mark  the  progress  of  opinion  in  that 
interesting  portion  of  the  Jewish  nation. 

Old  Synaoogue.— This  building  is  a  type 
of  the  present  state  of  Judaism  in  Prussia. 
It  is  the  ancient  building.  The  massive  walls, 
the  edifice  itself,  remain  as  they  were ;  but  the 
entrance  to  the  Synagogue  is  new,  the  galleries 
within  are  new,  the  pews  are  new.  The  cum- 
bersome erection  in  the  middle  of  the  Syna- 
gogue, which  was  used  in  conformity  with 
ancient  custom,  as  a  reading-desk,  is  gone.  The 
splendid  chandeliers,  which  had  cost  the  syna- 
gogue so  large  a  sura,  are  gone,  for  they  were 
wanted  no  longer.  Gas  supplies  the  place  of 
candles,  and  the  Jews,  availing  themselves  of 
this  modern  improvement,  have  changed  their 
arrangements  in  this  as  in  so  many  other 
respects. 

But  here,  again,  the  Synagogue  presents  a 
mixed  appearance.  The  chandelier  in  the 
middle  has  been  suffered  to  remain.  It  was 
the  gift  of  Frederick  III.,  commonly  called  the 
Great  ;*  and  though  neither  so  large  nor  so 
beautiful  as  those  around  it,  which  were  pur- 
chased at  the  expense  of  the  Synagogue,  it 
always  retained  its  place  in  the  centre  of  the 
building,  and  there  it  is  now,  although  its 
services  cannot  be  very  efficient,  surrounded  as 
it  is  by  the  brilliant  flames  of  gas,  which  add 
so  much  to  the  beauty  of  the  interior. 

The  Jews  are  certainly  not  to  be  blamed  for 
this  token  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  a  sov- 
ereign, who  on  many  occasions  showed  kind- 
ness to  their  fathers;  but  the  variety  that 
thus  prevails  through  their  respect  for  history 
on  the  one  hand,  and  their  desire  for  improve-^ 
ment  on  the  other,  reminds  a  visitor  of  other] 

*  That  gift  to  the  Synagogue,  and  other  acts  of 
kindness  to  the  Jews,  proceeded,  no  doubt,  from 
policy.  Frederick  is  known  to  have  said  :  "  I 
know  not  bow  it  is,  but  the  fact  is  certain,  that 
every  nation  that  has  persecuted  the  Jews,  have 
suffered  ;  and  that  tbe  nations  that  bare  favored 
that  people,  have  prospered." 


instances  in  which  a  similar  discrepancy  may 
be  noticed. 

But  other  changes  have  also  been  intro- 
duced. A  choir  of  singers  take  part  in  the 
service,  in  accordance  with  modern  customs, 
among  the  Jews.  I  cannot  speak  very  highly 
of  their  performances  in  a  musical  point  of 
view,  as  they  are  very  noisy  and  less  accurate 
in  attention  to  tune  and  time,  than  the  choir  at 
the  Reform  Synagogue,  which  is  conducted 
with  the  utmost  skill  and  precision  by  the  able 
director  who  presides  over  that  part  of  the 
service. 

Although  the  introduction  of  a  choir  is  of 
itself  no  great  change  in  a  Synagogue,  and  a 
matter  of  very  common  occurrence,  I  was 
informed  by  the  Jews  that  it  was  not  accom- 
plished in  the  old  Synagogue  without  serious 
difficulty.  A  law-suit  was  instituted  by  sohae 
of  the  members  in  order  to  prevent  this  change, 
and  the  removal  of  the  huge  reading-desk  to 
which  we  have  already  alluded,  which  formerly 
caused  so  ranch  inconvenience  by  occupying  a 
large  space  in  the  centre  of  the  Synagogue* 
Here  we  have  another  instance  of  the  perversity 
of  human  nature,  which  leads  men  to  pay  tithe 
of  mint,  anise  and  cummin,  and  to  omit  the 
weightier  matters  of  the  law,  judgment,  mercy, 
and  faith. 

An  equally  striking  instance  of  the  same 
fault  and  folly,  occurred  at  the  institution  of 
the  Reform  Synagogue,  when  there  was  a 
fiercer  dispute  as  to  whether  the  Jews  should 
wear  their  hats  during  divine  service,  than  on 
the  question  whether  they  should  keep  the 
Sunday  instead  of  Saturday  as  the  day  of  the 
rest,  or  about  any  other  of  the  important 
changes  that  were  introduced.  The  reason  for 
wearing  a  bat  is  founded,  according  to  the 
opinion  of  many  Jews,  only  on  a  Minhag  or 
custom,  but  this  was  thought  to  be  a  matter 
of  more  importance  than  deciding  about 
the  day  on  which  God  is  to  be  publicly 
worshipped. 

I  am  sorry  to  say  that  amidst  all  this  zeal 
for  change  and  improvement  in  the  old  Syna- 
gogue at  Berlin,  one  great  evil  still  remains 
almost  if  not  altogether  in  full  force.  The 
desultory  way  in  which  the  coagregation  join 
in  the  service  reminds  one  of  the  olden  times, 
when  it  was  customary  to  enter  the  Synagogue 
and  leave  it  without  ceremonji^ring  any  and 
every  part  ef  the  service,  aod^|te.a  very  few 


of  the  members  seemed  to  feel  it  to  be  a  duty 
rem&ib  from  wsr  couiuieucemcni,  t©  *»« 
close. 

Thus,  on  entering  the  court  in  which  the 
Synagogue  stands,  on  the  evening  of  Friday, 
June  6, 1  could  scarcely  tell  whether  the  ser- 
vice had  really  commenced  or  not,  as  many 
Jews  were  standing  about,  engaged  in  conver- 
sation. It  soon,  however,  became  evident, 
from  the  sound  of  the  chanting  wliich  could 
be  heard  from  within,  that  those  who  wished 
to  take  part  in  the  service  of  the  evening,  and 
thus  to  celebrate  the  commencement  of  the 
Jewish  Sabbath,  ought  before  this  to  have 
entered  their  house  of  prayer.— Se/ec(«i.

A  remarkable  discovery  which  has  becu 
made  at  Baruesville,  Ohio,  lately,  has  been 
the  cause  of  some  curious  speculations.  A 
young  man,  while  out  rambling  over  the 
hills,  came  upon  a  high  ledge  of  rocks,  up- 
on the  top  of  which  bo  saw,  imbedded  in 
the  solid  stone,  the  distinctly  marked  tracks 
of  men,  birds  and  animals,  all  of  gigantic 
size.  As  may  well  bo  supposed,  the  dis- 
covery has  caused  uo  small  amount  of  sur- 
prisp,  and  the  question   naturally  suggests 


itself,  whence  canio  those  tracks?  Are  tboy 
indicative  of  a  period  of  antiquity  beyond 
the  time  commonly  ossigned  for  the  crea- 
tion? And  arc  we  to  have  a  new  version 
of  the  theory  of  geological  formations? 
A  young  minister  of  the  place,  Rev.  Sam- 
uel Price,  recently  prepared  a  carefully 
written  statement  of  the  matter,  which  he 
forwarded  to  the  Christian  Advocate  and 
Journal,  a  religious  paper  published  in  this 
city.  The  rocks  are  there,  and  the  foot- 
prints are  there.  But  how  did  they  come 
there?  Who  can  tell?  This  is  not  the 
first  time  that  facts  apparently  at  variance 
with  tbe  commonly  received  opinions  of 
geologists  have  been  discovered.  A.iid 
these  rocks  may  very  possibly  ofifcr  no  diffi- 
culties to  the  investigations  of  an  Agassiz; 
but  till  there  is  some  satisfactory  answer 
to  the  question,  "How  came  thoy  there?" 
they  must  remain  a  subject  of  curious  specu- 
lation.

Another  Metal  Discovered. — Dr. 
Hoffman,  following  in  the  wake  of  Davy 
and  Deville,  has  come  forward  as  a  discov- 
erer of  a  metal.  In  a  lecture  delivered  by 
him  lately  at  the  British  Royal  Institution, 
he  exhibited  a  bright  glistening  mass,  some- 
what resembling  butter,  and  described  it 
as  ammonium — the  metallic  base  of  am- 
monia. This  is  regarded  as  a  highly  in- 
teresting chemical  fact,  inasmuch  as  it 
strengthens  the  views  entertained  respect- 
ing the  constituents  of  the  atmosphere,  vie. 
that  they  are  all  metallic. 

The  Jewish  banker  Norman,  in  Berlin,  died 
a  few  weeks  ago.  He  had  bequeathed  his  im- 
mense fortune  of  several  hundred  thousand 
thalers  to  his  poor  relations,  and  some  eighty 
benevolent  institutions.  He  did  not  mention 
his  rich  relations  in  his  will.  To  one  of  his 
poor  relations,  a  musician,  he  donated  1,000 
tbalers  on  the  condition,  that  every  year,  on 
his  birth-day,  at  midnight  be  should  sing  a 
hymn,  clebrating  the  deceased.  The  musician 
promised  to  comply  with  this  condition. 

Rev.  Dr.  Klein,  of  Stolp,  tho  well  known 
editor  of  tbe  Jewish  Almanac,  intends  tho 
publication  immediately    of  a  gazette  for  the 

Jewish  youth.

Beware  of    Sectarla»  Politloal   ITewa- 
y  papera. 

In  a  State  where  equality  of  rights  is  enjoy- 
edby  attira  tntiabitaDtS,  which  pontlcaTTy  Ig- 
nores sect  or  creed,  in  such  a  State  all  politiv^  to  blot  out  their  existence 
cal  questions  are  the  common  property  of  all  T    Wi 


its  inhabitants  ;  there  no  sect  or  denomination 
has  politically  any  separate  interests  to  pur- 
sue— there  no  sectarian  organ  can  be  wanted 
to  represent  the  interest  of  a  eect,  separate- 
ly from  the  rest  of  its  inhabitants.  The  Prot- 
estant, Catholic,  or  Jewish  political  organs  in 
such  a  State  would  be  quite  out  of  place. 
And  the  editor  of  a  sectarian  newspaper  that 
interferes  with)  politics,  marring  the  pag«s 
of  his  publication  with  unimproving  political 
matter,  can  never  mean  it  honestly,  can  never 
be  the  friends  of  people  for  whom  he  pretends 
to  write.  Of  course  he  can  only  lay  before 
them  such  political  items  as  arc  found  in  every 
other  daily  paper  ;  add  to  which,  at  all  events, 
they,  beJDg  the  proper  organs  for  such  mat- 
ter, can  devote  more  space  to  it,  and  probably 
treat  the  subjects  better  than  the  sectarian  ed- 
itor. We  say  that  such  men  can  never  be  the 
friends  of  the  religious  party  for  whom  they 
pretend  to  write.  The  sectarian  publication  is 
supposed  to  be  addressed  to  the  sect — and 
wS»it  £«ct  ^>aii  be  se^  Uibtl  a#  im><i  W  sue  ibo 
evil  of  profamng.the  sanctuany  of  their  family 
circle  by  reports  of  political  contests,  strifes, 
tricks,  or  even  elections  ?  Those  whom  such 
matter  luteresta,  can  find  them  better  treated, 
at  a  cheaper  rate,  and  at  more  than  sufficient 
length,  in  the  dailies  than  in  the  sectarian  pa- 
pers. 

The  editor  of  a  sectarian  paper  who  more 
than  hints  at  politics,  except  in  most  extraor- 
dinary cases — when  his  sect  especially  i.s  at- 
tacked or  insulted — and  such  Teases  are  rare — 
the  public  look  at  him  with  suspicion  :  he  ei- 
ther wants  to  make  "  political  fund"  of  the 
dupes  who  payjhim  for  being  sold  by  him,  or 
perhaps  wants  to  be  the  "  signal  bell  to  them" 
and  at  his  proper  opportunity, '  call  them  from 
their  work-shops  and  their  store-houses' — and 
woe  unto  them,  when  he  tries  to  call  them  from 
their  schools  and  churches,  and  make  them 
tools  to  his  unhallowed  purposes,  to  his  self-in- 
terest, to  his  self-elevation.    Yes,  such   men 
can  only  want,  first  to  make  you  pay  dearly  for 
the    improper  matter  with  which    they  'soil 
the  paper,  profane  the  atmosphere  of  your  wife 
and  children,  and  then,  at  "the  proper  time," 
they  want  to  call  you  forth  to  ride  on  your 
shoulders,  and    make  you  stepping-stones  to 
their  elevation.    Or,  if  they  are  too  low  ever 
to  elpect  to  rise  themselves,  if  they  perhaps 
have  tried  different  ways  to  climb  the  vacil- 
lating pole  of   political   elevation,  and    after 
hard  work  and  different  slips,  now  like  the  fox 
in  the  fable  retire  from  the  attempt,  saying 
"  the  grapes  are  sour"— or,  if  they  are  marked 
men,  and  cannot,  aiming  at  self-elevation,  yet 
for  all  that  keep  continually  at  politics,  then 
be  sure  there  is  something  worse  at  bottom  ; 
then  you,'   may   be  sure  they  are  hirelings, 
treacherous  hirelings  in  the  pay  of  some  dark 
spirit  who  shows  the  light,  who  makes  the  hir- 
ed pen  of  the  venal  editor  his  tool  to  betray 
your  interest  uuto  his  advantage.    We  warn 
you,  never  allow  a  sectariau.'polilical  paper  to 
enter  your  house.    Always  try  to  open  men's 
eyes  to  its  dangerous  errors,  and  shrink  at  the 
idea  of  the  general  consequences  that  such  a 
publication  must  have  if  it  is  generally  adopted. 
Wo  should  deeply  regret  to  hear  of  an  Epis- 
copalian, I'resbytcrian,  Papist,  or  Methodist 
religious  paper ;  the  genius  of  religion  would 
again  have  to  mourn,  if  the  church  of  Rome 
would  prostitute  her  religious  press  for  politi- 
cal purposes.      Wo  therefore  unambigaoosly 


S 


warn  our  people  not  to  allow  themselves  to  be 
made  tools,  nor  submit  to  be  made  "  fund"  for 
politicians ;   not  to  allow  such  publications

San  Francisco,  Feb.  7, 1856. 
To  the  Editor  of  the  Gleaner  — 

Dr.  J.  Eckman — Dear  Sir : — Allow  me  to 
express  to  you  the  very  great  pleasure  I  have 
derived  from  the  jwrusal  of  your  paper,  the 
Gleaner.  I  am  gratified  to  see  such  an  enter- 
prize  in  the  hands  of  one  whose  sound  judg- 
ment, literary  taste,  and  catholic  spirit,  are 
sure  guarantees  that  it  will  deserve  success. 
We  need  the  instrumentality  of  the  press  to 
bring  into  closer  and  kinder  contact  the  Seed 
of  Abraham  and  the  believers  in  Christ.  The 
Jew  and  the  Christian,  notwithstanding  their 
broad  differences  of  opinion  respecting  the 
Messiah,  have  too  many  points  in  common  to 
justify  alienation  and  strife.  Bigotry  has 
done  mischief  enough— may  the  God  of  Abra- 
ham, Isaac,  and  Jacob,  cause  all  those  to  lore 
one  another,  who  venerate  and  worship  Him 
as  the  only  living  Jehovah.  May  He,  who 
led  Israel  in  the  wilderness  lead  yon,  and 
make  this  work  of  your  hands  successful. 

Yours  fraternally,  B.  Bribrly, 

Pastor  of   the    First  Baptist  Church,  San 

Francisco. 


The  Beth  Hammldraah. 

There  existed  in  every  Jewish  congregation, 
during  the  middle  ages,  a  Beth  Hammidrash, 
a  House  oT  Sltidy.  TTiere  were  one  or  more 
rooms,  containing  libraries  for  the  use  of  those 
who  had  not  the  means  of  procuring  books 
at  their  own  houses  and  at  their  own  expense. 
These  Bethai  Midrashim  were  exactly  what 
our  libraries  are,  only  that  they  had  an  exclu- 
sively religious  character.  The  contents  of  all 
the  books  were  religious,  and  even  this  supply 
was  not  always  of  the  purest  sources.  Moses 
and  the  Prophets,  the  Commentaries  of  an 
Abn  Ezra  Abarbanel,  Mairaonides,  were  rarely 
found  there,  and  more  rarely  studied. 

Heaps  of  casuistical  works  filled  the  shelves 
and  tables,  and  numbers  of  piously-disposed 
Jews  would  pore  over  them  night  and  day  ; — 
we  speak  literally — for  the  voice  of  students 
was  not  silent  either  day  or  night,  except  on 
that  from  Friday  to  Saturday,  when  no  vigils 
were  allowed. 

Every  congregation  maintained  a  considera- 
ble number  of  Bachoorira,  (young  students,) 
who  would  usually,  on  alternate  days,  have 
free  board  at  the  tables  of  the  members.  In 
some  places,  these  would  amount  to  more  than 
a  thousand.  They  would  flock  from  distances 
to  study  where  tone  cmiBoat  Rabbi  was 
the  teacher. 

In  modern  times,  the  Bethai  Midrashim  arc 
deserted,  owing  partly  to  the  spirit  of  materi- 
alism, at  whose  shrines  Israel's  sons  are  early 
made  to  worship  :  but  chifly  on  account  of  the 
more  correct  views  entertained  about  these 
studies,  and  the  requirements  of  religion. 
Our  Hebrew  scholars  have  a  wider  field 
to  cultivate  than  that  of  mere  ceremonial 
casuistry. 

Thus  the  musty,  close  atmosphere  of  the 
Beth  Hammidrash  is  shunned  by  the  students, 
and  the  seminaries,  colleges,  and  universities, 
are  sought.  Instead  of  the  exclusive  study  of 
the  obsolete  and  antiquated  views  of  the  me- 
dia:val  Rabbis,  the  capacious  minds  of  our 
students  extend  their  pursuits  to  philosophy, 
tOjthc  sciences,  to  languages  and  to  divinity. 

However,  here  and  there,  there  are  some 
men,  who,  as  living  antiquities,  love  to  breathe 
the  close,  dense  air  of  the  years  1100-1500, 
and  hence,  in  large  places,  some  relics  of  a 
Beth  Hammidrash,  with  inmates  whose  appear- 
ance easily  tells  their  idiosyncracies,  is  to  be 
found  ;  but  western  Europe,  England,  and  the 
United  States,  is  no  more  the  soil  on  which 
they  thrive. 

We  are  not  aware  of  the  existence  of  a  Beth 
Hammidrash  in  Paris.  Berlin  and  London 
supply,  each,  one ;  but  they  belong  to  a  by- 
gone age.  The  Russian  emigrants,  ignorant 
of  the  changes  and  requirements  of  our  times, 
incapable  of  discerning  the  difference  of  the 
spirit  breathed  in  the  Bible  and  the  Casuists, 
have  made  a  Beth  Hammidrash  in  the  city  of 
New  York  ;— and  we  hear  of  no  other  in  the 
whole  United  States,  except  here  in  the  city  of 
San  Francisco,  where  the  Russian  Jews  have 
opened  one  some  eighteen  months  ago.  There 
is  no  doubt  of  the  honesty  of  purpose  of  these 
men,  but  we  lament  their  want  of  knowledge. 
The  ancient  Beth  Hammidrash  was,  compara- 
tively speaking,  the  Monastery  of  Judaism  ; 
the  students,  the  ascetics;  the  studies,  the 
scholastic ; — hence  their  revival  and  existence, 
an  anomaly.

The  Foster  Home  of  New  Orleana. 

It  must  be  highly  gratifying  to  every  friend 
f  humanity  to  know  that  in  a  city'where  ma- 
arrous  tBftaene®  breed  numerous  diseases,  ei- 
raordinary  efforts  are  made  by  the  institution 
f  charities,  hospitals,  and  houses  of  refuge, 
or  the  sufferers  in  consequence  of  these  climat- 
e  iuflaences.  Among  these  establishments  we 
lame  the  House  for  Widows  and  Orphans, 
pened  some  fifteen  months  ago,  and  maintain- 
id  at  considerable  expense.  Tho  Home  is  a 
iplendid  mansion,  combining  the  useful  and 
he  ornamental,  so  as  to  be  calculated  to  cheer 
he  sorrowful  heart  of  its  inmates.  It  is  under 
he  management  of  proper  directors.  The 
lebrew  ladies  of  New  Orleans,  by  their  per- 
onal  attendance  and  contributions,  deserve  an 
lonorable  mention. 

The  Foster  Home  is  not  a  mere  idle,  useless 
nound,  not  a  mere  dead  building  ;  it  is  an  in- 
tiiution  exercising  a  bencfiijcnt  influence.  It 
s  a  monument  that  bears  witness  to  human 
)enevolencj  ;  it  is  a  structure  that  preaches 
nore  eloquently  than  can  the  mere  human 
voice. 

Institutions  of  this  kind,  which  evince  the 
vitality  of  their  existence  by  the  actual  good 
that  they  effect,  (ihe  Home  provides  education 
the  young,  aod  the  means  of  religioaa  im- 
provement to  the  adults,) — only  institutions 
which  are  maintained  by  tangible  sacrifices,  by 
which  (the  sacrifices,)  the  dormant  charitable 
feelings  in  the  human  breast  are  aroused  to  a 
healthful  activity — only  such  deserve  the  ef- 
forts of  the  generous  in  their  construction,  and 
the  support  of  the  charitable  for  their  continu- 
ence.  When  God  brought  Israel  out  of  Egypt, 
He  first  gave  them  manna  and  water,  then  a 
then  only  ,and  not  before.  A  tcmpo- 
lahre,  aad  that  a  comparatively  hum- 
ne,  it  was  of  wood,  was  to  be  [erected  un- 
der the  name  Omiscan  Ha-edath,"  a  dwelling 
in  testimony," — it  was  to  be  a  fit  residence  for 
the  glory  of  God,  and  a  testimony  of  the  rela- 
tion of  Israel  to  his  God — and  not  before  a 
lapse  of  near  five  hundred  years,  a  solid  stone 
building  was  erected  by  a  Solomon. 

The  Anniversary  of  the  Horae^was  celebrat- 
ed lately.  We  shall  refer  to  this  subject 
again  ia  a  very  early  number  of  the  Gleaner. 

Jewish  Congregation  In  California. 

We  give  the  following  from  the  Astnonean, 
I  as  copied  from  The  Voice  : 

There  are  in  California,  as  far  as  we  can  learn, 
the  following  number  of  synagogues,  all  in  good 
standing.     In  San   Francisco,  three — Sacra- 
mento,   two — Shasta,  one — Stockton,  one — 
Grass  Valley,  one— Sonora,  one.      In    San 
Francisco,  there  are  only  two — the  Sherith 
Israel,  and  the  Emanu-El— who,  from    their 
position,  are  capable,  at  present,  of  engaging  a 
minister  at  such  a  salary  as  would  warrant  the 
right  to  expect  an  able  and   competent  gentle- 
man.   In  the  former    however,  no   action  has 
jet  been  taken.    In  the  latter,  the  office  of 
minister  ia  now  vacant.    The  salary  fixed  is 
three  thousand  dollars  a  year  for  a  minister, 
reader  and  teacher.    After  the  consecration, 
fearing  that  no  one  could  be  got  for  that  posi- 
tion, nujre  able  to  fill  it  than  was  Dr.  J.  Eck- 
man, the  congregation  elected  hira  for  one  year 
80  that,8hould  one  be  heard  from  in  the  mean- 
while no  wrong  would   l)c  done  by  virtue   of 
the  power  vested  in  its  frkads  at  the  east  to 
select  such.    Before  the  y^ar  was  completed 
Dr.  Eckman  acted  injudiciously,  as  the  congre- 
gation thought,  they,  by  reducing  the  salary, 
elected  a  temporary  reader,  the  majority  at 
the  meeting  persisting  that  it  was  only  done 
to  avoid  his  election,  and  that  the  reader  would 
resign  as  soon  as  a  suitable  minisetr  was  ob-

tained.  In  the  mean]whiie  Mr.  Bien  arrived, 
and  he  was  temporarily  chosen  teacher  and 
lecturer,  to  assist  the  reader  in  the  wants  of 
the  congregation.  The  society  had  made  the 
office  elective,  in  one  person  only,  at  a  salary 
of  $3,000  a  year. — Asmonean,  taken  from  the 
Voice  of  Israel. 

We  again  think  it  due  to  truth  to  place  the 
above  before  the  public  ;  it  classes  with  sev- 
eral statements  from  that  source,  a  few  of  which 
we  thought  proper  to  correct ;  as  that  of "  Di- 
vorces," "  the  opinion  of  Rev.  Dr.  Einhorn.  " 
The  misrepresentation  was  unprevoked  on  our 
side,  it  was  several  weeks  before  the  appear- 
ance of  the  Gleaner.  We  hold  this  statement 
concerning  our  election  in  1 854,  and  the  state 
of  the  Synagogue  Immanu-el  and  Shaarith,  as 
also  that  from  the  country,  up  to  view,  as  this 
may  become  a  means  of  narrowing  that  tor- 
rent of  gratuitous  overflow  ings.  And  we  hope 
in  doing  so  to  achieve  some  good. 

Nor  must  the  patient  reader  expect  to  see 
many  such  notices  in  our  columns ;  it  is  with 
great  reluctance  that  we  allude  even  to  that 
quarter. 

Religious  Instruction  of  the  Children  of 
the  Poor. 

"  Hiz-her-oo  bib  nai  anee  yim." 
"  Take  care  of  the  children  of  the  poor  ;  for 
they  are  the  depositories  of  the  law." — Rab. 
Sayings. 

Examples  in  the  history  of  our  race  are  not 
wanting  to  show  the  correctness  of  this  admo- 
nition. 

Among  the  numerous  legacies  of  the  late 
Achille  Edmond  Halphen.tbe  most  remark- 
able is  the  one  made  to  the  Academy  of  Moral 
and  Political  Sciences,  the  interest  of  which 
to  be  awarded  as  a  premium  to  him  who  has 
contributed  most  to  the  primary  education  of 
the  poor  .as  to  which  the  donater  remarks  in  his 
will,  "  This  branch  of  education  it  is  which 
alleviates  misery,  and  prepares  gradually  the 
emancipation  of  mankind." 

The  renowned  painter,  Moritz  Oppenheim, 
in  Frankfort,  has  finished  a  picture,  which, 
since  its  exhibition,  is  enjoying  the  greatest 
admiration  of  the  public.  It  represents  La- 
vater,  presenting  Mendelssohn  with  the  book 
of  Bonnet  on  the  genuineness  of  the  Christian 
religion. 


The  "Voice  of  Israel"  and  the  Cleveland 
Conference. 

It  is  a  settled  principle  with  us  not  to  reply 
any  more  to  any thi  ng  said  against  the  Cleve- 
land Conference  ;  because  our  scientific  argu- 
ments in  its  favor  in  last  year's  Israelite  were 
not  refuted,  and  we  dislike  to  repeat  arguments. 
Som^entlemen  make  a  practice  of  abusing 
th^fcsembly,  and  of  showing  themselves 
bliS^d  deaf  to  all  and  every  argument.  We 
deviate  from  this  practice  only  to  tell  the 
Voice  of  Israel,  that  they  are  entirely  mistak- 
en in  their  belief,  that  there  are  no  legal  ex- 
positions in  the  Talmud  which  derive  their 
validity  from  biblical  authority.  Wo  refer 
the  editors  to  the  Israelite  Vol.  11,  pages,  164, 
172,  180, 188,  244,  292.  309.  324,  332,  348  ; 
they  will  find  there  that  it  is  uufnir  to  attack 
a  subject,  the  arguments  for  which  one  has 
not  even  read.  We  positively  will  not  repeat 
what  we  have  already  written,  and  we  must 
say,  that  unless  oar  former  arguments  are  re- 
futed, all  talking  on  the  subject  is  in  vain.  Do 
the  editors  of  the  Voted  of  Israel  profess  to 
know  anything  of  the  Talmud  7  If  bo,  let  them 
refute  our  arguments  in  its  favor ;  then  we 
will  continue  our  debates.  But  if  tbis  is  not 
the  case,  they  must  not  expose  themselves  by 
writing  on  a  subject  foreign  to  them,  silgmr.* 


Notice  to  Our  Readers, 

We  must  crave  the  indulgence  of  our  friends 
for  the  irregularity  with  which  the  Gleaner 
has  heretofore  been  delivered  ;  but  we  hope  to 
remedy  this  difficulty  in  the  future. 

We  owe  an  apology,  also,  for  many  errors 
in  our  last  issue,  which,  in  the  hurry  of  prepar- 
ing the  form  for  the  press,  escaped  correction. 
The  present  press  of  business,  (having  the 
whole  work  on  our  own  hands,)  we  hope,  will 
be  duly  considered  in  extenuation..

The  Three  Friends. 

Trust  no  ;onc  as  a  friend  until  thou  hast 
proved  him  :  there  are  more  who  call  them- 
Bclvcs  tMfh  f«  «h<»  fpufftl  board  than  at  the 
gates  of  the  prison. 

A  certain  man  had  three  friends.  Two  of 
them  were  highly  tbcught  of  in  the  neighbor- 
hood ;  while  the  third  was  but  lightly 
esteemed  by  many.  Tbis  nfi'an,  on  one  occa- 
sion, was  to#e  brought  before  tho  king  for 
judgment ;  and,  though  he  bad  previously  com- 
plied with  the  royal  act  of  indimnity,  he  was 
sore  pressed  by  his  accusers. 

"  Which  of  jou,"  faid  he  to  his  friends, 
"  will  go  in  with  me,  and  stniid  biside  me,  and 
plead  for  me,  at  the  judgment?  For  I  nm 
loud'y  accused;  and  it  is  nwlul  to  appear 
before  the  king." 

The  first  of  his  friends  excused  himself,  say- 
ing that  he  hod  other  business  to  attend  to. 
The  second  accompanied  him  to  the  door  of 
tlcjudgment-lipll,  and  then  turned  away  and 
left  him.  Ihe  third  [went  in  with  him, 
interceded  for  liini.  and  proved  that  he  had 
accepted  and  obtained  Ihe  king's  pardon  for 
his  past  offences.  So  the  king  blotted  out  his 
accusation.

receive  thee,  with  thy  gnod  and  evil  deeds, 
and  place  thee  before  the  tribunal  of  thy  (iod  » 
How  wilt  thy  friends  Korve  thee  in  that  sol- 
emn hour?    Gold,  which   the  mulliludo  call 
the  best  of  friends,  is  the  first  to  leave  thee, 
and  stands  thee  in  no  stead   in  that  hour  of 
need  !     Kinsmen  and  friends  !  what  can  they 
do  for  thee  ?    They  may  moisten  thy  cold  and 
lifeless  clay  with  their  warm  tears  ;— may  fol- 
low thee  to  the  gates  of  the  grave— and  then 
they  must  return  to  their  homes,   and   thee 
unto  the  dust  frt-m  whence  thou  wert  taken. 
But  the  third,  too  often  neglected  ^  the  most

—they  will  comfort  thee  on  thy  thorny  walk

the  bonds  of  wickedness,  undo  the  heivy  bur-

est  every  yoke :  if  thou  dealest  out   thy  bread

homeless  into  thy  house— when  thou  seest  the

self from  the  poor  of  thine  own  flesh.— then 
shalt  thy  light   break  forth  as  the  morning 
dawn,  thy  health  shall  tpring  forth  speedily— 
(i.  e.,  thy  wounds  shall  Eoon  be  removed)— and 
thy  righteousness  shall  go  before  thee  and  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  shall  gather  tlice.— Isaiah, 
l\m:G-8.— Altered  from  the  Midrash.

the  above  name  was  organized  in  th's  city  on 
Sunday  last,  for  the  purpose  of  assisting  each 
other  in  time  of  need,  to  visit  the  sick,  and  to 
bury  the  dead,  in  accordance  with  Jewish  laws 
and  ceremonies. 

Mr.  M.  B.  Ashira  was  elected  Chairman, 
and  Mr.  Jacob  "Vogelsdorf  was  called  to  act  as 
Secretary  pro  tcm. 

The  meeting  was  held  in  best  spirit ;  and

by  which  the  society  is  in  future  to  bo  gov. 
erned. 

"We  regret  the  meeting  being  held  just  at  a 
time  when  we  had  some  other  function  to  per- 
form ;  else  we  would  have  considered  it  a  sa- 
cred duty  to  attend,  even  had  we  not  been  spe- 
cially invited. 

We  wish  them  success  in  all  their  undertsk- 
ings  in  the  good  and  noble  cause  they  are 
Aiming  to  accomplish,  as  we  have  no  society  of 
that  kind  in  this  city.

heavy  debt  of  ten  thousand  dollars  on  mort- 
gage, and  ten  per  cent,  interest,  and  a  floating 
debtof  sixteen  hundred  dollars,  the  managers 
of  the  Broadway  Synagogue,  Cincinnati,  liave 
at  once  opened  a  list  of  loans  on  shares  of  $25, 
on  which  no  interest  is  to  be  paid,  and  in  a 
similar  manner  as  the  Synagogue  Emanu-el  of 
this  city,  will  throw  off  the  heavy  burthen  of 
interest  paid  heretofore.

Nkw  York. — Among  the  bequests  of  the 
late  Mr.  Sampson  Simpson  of  that  city, 
there  is  the  reversionary  interest  of  five  thou- 
■and  dollars  for  the  atqelioration  of  the  condi- 
tion of  the  Jews  in  Palestine  ;  two  thousand 
dollars  to  the  Beth  Hamidrush  of  N.  Y.;  and 
one  thou pand  dollars  to  Golumbia  College,  at 
which  (he  grateful  deceased  graduated  sixty 
years  ago. 

Bkrlin. — A  new  Jewish  seminary  is  about 
being  established  in  that  city  for  the  training 
of  Jewish  ministers. 

WuRTziiURG. — In  a  reply  to  a  petition  to 
Oourt  of  lluhbi  Bamberger,  tor  a  grant  of 
leave  of  absence  to  Jewish  soldiers  on  Snbbath 
and  Holy  lays,  such  leave  was  granted.  The 
Hebrew  jwpulation,  in  return,  have  exprefsed 
their  gratitude  for  this  murk  of  regard  for  their 
religious  observances. 

Vienna  — The  widow  of  the  well  known  au- 
thor, Dr.  Jynar  Juitteles,  bequeathed  her  prop- 
erty to  the  Jewish  congregation  of  that  city. 
Eighty  thousand  florins  are  to  be  applied  to 
the  establisliment  of  a  hospital  for  widows 
of  indigent  Jews. 


DOMESTIC  MEDICINE. 


Of  Dinkkr. — It  is  injurious  to  eat  when 

greatly  heated  or  fatigued.  It  would  very* 
much  conduce  to  the  health  of  la  boring  men 
if  they  could  rest  fifteen  or  twenty  minutes 
before  dinner. 

The  diet  should  always  be  more  spare,  with 

a  larger  proportion   of  vegetables  and  ripe 

fruits,  during    sammer.     Fruits     are    most 

'  whclisome  in  their  appropriate  season.    The 

skins,  stones  and  seeds,  arc  indigestible. 

Rich  soups  are  injorious  to  the  dyspeptic. 
Much  liquid  food  is  rarely  beneficial  foraduHs  ; 
but  a  small  quantity  of  plain,  nourishing  soup 
is  an  economical  and  healthy  beginning  of  a 
family  dinner. 

Meats  should  always  be  suCBciently  cooked. 
It  is  a  savage  custom  to  eat  meal  in  a  half- 
raw-lidlf-roasted  stale,  and  only  a  very  strong 
stumach  can  digest  it. 

Rich  gravies  should  be  avoided,  especially 
in  the  summer  season. 

Of  Drinks. — Mfst  people  d^ink  too  much, 
becanse  they  drink  too  fa^-^A  wine-gUss  of 
water,  sipped  slowly,  will  quench  the  thirst  as 
cffecluollj  aa  a.  piat  gwallowcd  at  a  draagbt. 
When  too  much  is  taken  at  meals,  especially 
at  dinner,  it  hinders  digestion.  Better  drink 
little  during  the  meal,  and  then,  if  thirsty,  an 
hour  or  two  afterwards,  take  more.  The 
practice  of  taking  a  cup  of  tea  or  coffee  soon 
after  dinner  is  a  good  one,  if  the  beverage  be 
not  drank  too  strong  or  too  hot. 

Dyspeptic  people  should  be  careful  to  take 
but  a  small  quantity  of  drink.  Children  re- 
quire more  in  proportion,  to  their  food,  than 
adults.  But  it  is  very  injurious  to  them  to 
allow  a  habit  of  continual  drinking,  as  you 
find  it  in  some  children.  It  greatly  weakens 
the  stomach,  and  renders  them  irritable  and 
peevish. 

The  morning  meal  requires  to  be  lighter 
and  of  a  more  fluid  nature  than  any  other. 
Children  should  always,  if  possible  to  be 
obtained,  t^  milk — a»  a  substitute,  during 
the  winter,  good  gruel  with  bread,  or  water, 
I  sweetened  with  molasses,  is  healthy.  Never 
give  children  tea,  coffee,  or  chocolate  with 
their  meals. 

Coffee  affords  very  little  nourishment,  and  is 
apt,  if  drank  strong,  to  occasion  tremors  of 
the  nerves.  It  is  very  bad  for  bilious  consti- 
tutions. The  calm,  phlegmatic  temperament 
can  bear  it.  With  a  good  supply  of  cream 
and  sugar,  drank  in  moderation,  by  those  who 
exercise  much  and  take  considerable  solid 
food,  it  may  be  used  without  much  danger. 

Strong  green  tea  relaxes  the  tone  of  the 
stomach,  and  excites  the  nervous  system. 
Persons  of  delicate  constitution  are  almost 
sure  to  be  injured  by  it.  Black  tea  is  much 
less  deleterious.  If  used  with  milk  and  sugar, 
it  may  be  considered  healthy  for  most  people. 
Cl)«colttte,  when  it  agrees  with  the  constitu- 
tion, is  very  nutritious  and  healthy.  But  it 
seldom  can  be  used  steadily  except  by  aged 
persons  who  are  very  active.  It  agrees  best 
with  phlegmatic  temperaments  ;  and  is  more 
healthy  in  the  winter  season  than  during  warm 
weather. 

Eat  Slowi.t.— Eat  slowly.  One  of  the 
moat  usual  causes  of  dyspepsia  among  our 
business  men,  arises  from  the  haste  in  which 
they  swallow  their  food  without  sufficiently 
chewing  it,  and  then  hurry  away  to  their 
active  pursuits.  In  England  very  little  busi- 
ness is  transacted  after  dmner.  There  ought 
to  be,  at  least,  one  hour  of  quiet  after  a  full 
moal,  from  those  pursuits  which  tax  the  brain, 
as  well  as  those  which  exercise  the  muscles.

JUVENILE. 


Children  will  call  Sat.  &  Sun,  at  110  Sacramento  gt. 
What  I  Love  to  Sea. 

I  love  to  sec  the  brave  school-boy, 
With  satchel  clean,  and  slate, 

Come  tripping  nimbly  into  school — 
Pray,  don't  it  look  "  first-rate  "? 

I  love  to  sec  his  tidy  dress, 

With  buttons  shining  clear  ; 
And  all  the  blacking  on'^bis  shoes, 
With  aotK  on  hand  or  ear. 


I  love  to  see  a  scholar  sit 

Erect  upon  his  seat. 
And  hold  his  book  with  careful  hand, 

And  make  no  noise  with  feet. 
I  love  to  see  a  scholar's  desk 

From  toys  and  playthings  free  ; 
And  all  hia  books  in  order  placed  ; 

That's  the  fine  desk  for  me. 

I  love  to  see  a  neat,  clean  book. 
With  all  the  leaves  in  tight. 

And  every  corner  whole  and  square  ; 
It  shows  its  owner  bright. 

I  love  to  see  good  lessons  too, 
From  every  girl  and  boy  ; 

And  here's  the  way  to  have  them  so ; 
On  them  your  time  employ. 

The  Untidy  GUrl. 

The  untidy  girl  leaves  her  things  scattered 
about  her  room.  She  never  has  a  place  for 
anything ;  and  if  she  has,  she  does  hot  keep 
anything  in  its  place.  She  leaves  a  thing 
where  she  happens  to  be  using  it.  Her  room 
of  course,  is  all  confusion.  If  she  wants  any- 
thing, she  never  knows  where  it  is,  but  must 
bunt  till  she  finds  it ;  and  thus  much  precious 
time  is  wasted.  If  she  goes  into  another's 
room,  whatever  she  lays  her  hands  upon  is 
misplaced.  She  never  thinks  of  putting  it 
where  she  found  it ;  but  either  throws  it  care- 
lessly down,  or  puts  it  in  the  wrong  place.  If 
she  goes  into  the  library,  and  takes  down  a 

'  book,  she  either  puts  it  up  in  a  different  place, 
and  thus  disarranges  the  shelves,  or  she  lays  it 
down  on  the  shelf  in  front  of  the  other  books, 
for  her  father  or  mother  to  arrange  ;  or  if  she 
puts  it  in  the  right  place,  it  is  turned  the 
wrong  end  up,  or  the  back  is  put  inward. 
Her  school-books  are  torn  and  dirty,  disfig> 
ured  with  pencil-marks,  blots  of  ink,  grease- 
spots,  finger-prints,  and  dog's  ears  ;  and  if  she 
borrows  a  book  from  the  library,  or  of  a 
friend,  it  is  returned  with  some  of  these  her 
marh  upon  it. 

If  she  goes  into  the  kitchen,  she  will  be  sure 
to  aet  the  tidy  housekeeper  in  a  passion  ;  for 
whatever  she  lays  her  hand  upon  is  out  of 
place.  Nor  does  her  own  person  appear  to 
any  better  advantage.  Ilor  dress  is  adjusted 
in  bod  taste.  It  seems  to  hang  out  of  shape. 
You  would  say  her  garments  yrere  flung  upon 
her  ;  and  you  feel  an  involuntary  anxiety  lost 
they  should  fall  off.  You  do  not  perceive 
precisely  what  is  the  matter,  but  there  is  an 

I  eTident  want  of  neatness  and  taste-  Her  hair 
wears  the  same  air  of  negligence ;  her  face 
often  discovers  the  lack  of  soap  ;  and  her  finger^ 
nails  and  her  teeth  want  attention. 


U- 


These  arc  only  a  few  of  the  effects  of  untidy 
habits.  The  habit,  once  formed,  will  run 
through  everything.  And  the  untidy  girl  will 
make  an  untidy  woman ;  the  untidy  woman 
will  make  an  untidy  house  ;  an  untidy  house 
will  spoil  a  good  husband.  A  man  of  taste 
cannot  enjoy  himself  where  everything  is  out 
of  order,  and  he  will  seek  that  pleasure  abroad 

which  he  finds  not  at  home.  * 

■■*  I 

Laying  up  for  Children 
Parental  affection  naturally  inquires,  what 
it  can  best  do  for  the  welfare  of  its  children 
in  future  years,  and  when  the  bosom  which 
now  throbs  with  love  to  its  offspring  shall  be 
cold  in  death.  Many  plans  are  laid,  and  many 
days  and  hours  of  anxious  solicitude  are  spent 
in  contriving  ways  and  means  of  rendering 
children  prosperous  and  happy  in  future  life. 
But  parents  are  not  always  wise  in  the  provis- 
ions which  they  seek  to  make  for  their  children; 
nor  do  they  always  seek  direction  and  oounsel 
from  God  in  this  matter.  The  best  inheritance 
for  children,  beyond  all  contradiction,  is  true 
piety  towards  God— the  salutary  truths  and 
principles  of  Religion,  laid  up  in  the  hearts  of 
children — a  good  education — good  and  virtu- 
ous habits — unbending  principles  of  moral  con- 
duct— the  fear  of  God,  and  the  hope  of  heaven. 
This  is  the  best  inheritance  for  children,  and 
which  all  parents  should  be  most  anxious  to 
lay  up  for  them. 

Many  an  unwise  parent  works  hard,  and 
lives  sparingly  all  his  life,  for  the  purpose  of 
leaving  enough  to  t;ive  his  children  a  start  in 
the  world,  as  it  is  called.  Setting  a  young 
man  afloat  with  money  left  him  by  his  rela- 
tives, is  like  tying  bladders  under  the  arms  of 
one  who  cannot  swim  :  ten  chances  to  one  he 
will  lose  his  bladders,  and  go  to  the  bottom. 
Teach  him  to  swim,  and  he  will  not  need  the 
bladders. 

Give  your  child  a  sound  education.  See  to 
it  that  his  morals  are  pure,  his  mind  cu'tivated, 
and  his  whole  nature  made  subservient  to  the 
laws  which  govern  man,  and  you  have  given 
what  will  be  of  more  value  than  the  wealth  of 
Indies.  You  have  given  him  a  start  which  no 
misfortune  can  deprive  him  of.  The  earlier  you 
teach  him  to  depend  upon  his  own  resources, 
and  the  blessing  of  God,  the  better. 


Be  Jast. 

Never  allow  yourselves,  little  friendtf;  to 
take  the  part  of  one  of  your  companions  who 
is  in  the  wrong,  because  yon  love  him  more 
than  the  one  who  has  done  right.  This  is 
very  often  done  by  children  ;  but  that  does  not 
make  it  right.  You  will  at  once  see,  that  to 
condemn  the  innocent  merely  because  you  do 
not  love  them  as  well  as  you  do  the  guilty,  is 
a  very  wicked  thing,  and  will  displease  your 
Father  in  heaven.  He  always  looks  upon  such 
conduct  with  displeasure.  Therefore,  little 
friends,  although  you  regret  much  to  blame 
your  friend,  yet,  if  justice  requires  it,  you 
should  fearlessly  decide  even  against  your 
favorite. 

Always  be  just  in  all  things,  for   this  is 

right :  and  your  conscience  will  not  condemn 
you  if  you  act  thus,  and  your  Almighty 
Friend  in  heaven  will  opprove  of  your  course, 
and  bless  you  for  your  well-doing. 

The  Popish  Propaganda,  which  has  its 
centre  in  Lyons  for  the  sole  object  of  sas- 
taiuin  popery  and  converting  Protestants, 
spent  last  year  the  sum  of  $11,500  in 
Scotland,  $36,500  in  England,  $13,500  in 
Ireland,  and  $1,000  in  Gibraltar;  being 
an  amount  of  $62,500  spent  in  one  year 
in  the  British  European  domains;  not  to 
speak  of  $15,000  sent  to  the  British  em- 
pire in  India,  more  than  $30,000  to  Cana- 
da, and  from  $15,000  to  20,000  to  the 
BritiA  West  Indiei., 


A  Little  Boy's  Resolutions. 

I  will  not  swear, 

I  do  not  dare 
God's  holy  name  to  take  ; 

I  will  not  lie. 

But  I  will  try 
The  truth  my  guide  to  make. 

I  will  not  steal. 

For  I  should  feel 
Degraded  and  ashamed  ; 

I  will  be  kind. 

My  parents  mind. 
Nor  as  a  fighter  named. 

If  I  begin 

In  youth  to  sin. 
My  misery  is  sure  ; 

No  peace  of  mind 

Can  thus  I  find, 
No  pleasue  good  and  pure. 

But  if  I  love 

Great  God  above. 
My  friends  and  parents  kind  ; 

My  teacher  true, 

And  schoolmates  too. 
Much  happiness  I'll  find. 


"Can't"  and  "Try" 
" '  I  can't'  never  accomplished  anything." 
"  '  /'//  try'  has  done  wonders."  These  say- 
ings are  quite  as  true  of  childrtn  and  yovih  as 
of  men.  How  many  lessons,  both  for  the  Sab- 
bath and  public  school,  have  been  unlearned, 
just  because  the  child  acted  upon  the  first 
instead  of  the  second  saying.  Reader,  if  "  / 
can't  "  must  ever  be  used,  see  to  it  that  it 
never  comes  before  "  I'll  try."  Whatever  duty 
presents  itself — whatever  requirement  is  made 
of  yon,  let  "I'll  try"  come  first.  It  may,  it 
probably  will,  carry  you  through  ;  if  it  docs 
not,  "  I  can't  "  will  be  soon  enough  after  the 
trial.

The  »  Tabl*  of  Solomon,  Ion  of  DaVId." 

Objects  of  antiquity  do  not  receive  their 
value  from  their  beautiful  finish,  or  from  their 
exquisite  workmanship.  It  is  not  the  outward 
appearance  that  renders  them  objects  of  in- 
terest— it  is  their  age  that  exercises  that  pow- 
erful charm  over  the  cultivated  mind. 

Among  the  most  remarkable  objects,  the 
above  cut  undoubtedly  ranks  first,  and  will 
not  fail  to  interest  our  readers. 

We  accompany  it  with  a  brief  history, 
which  will  be  followed  by  a  description  of  the 
Table. 

"  At  the  time  of  the  conquest  of  Spain  by 
the  Arabs,  the  Moslem  general,  Taric,  found , 
near  Toledo,  a  rich,  precious  table,  adorned 
with  hyacinths  and  emeralds.  Gelit  Aledria, 
in  his  description  of  Spain,  calls  this  remarka- 
ble piece  of  antiquity  "  The  Table  of  Solo- 
mon, Son  of  David."  This  table  is  supposed 
to  have  been  saved,  with  other  precious  and 
sacred  vessels,  from  the  pillage  of  the  temple 
by  Nebuchadnezzar,  and  brought  with  those 
fugitives  who  found  their  way  to  Spain.  In- 
deed, some  writers  do  not  hesitate  to  assert 
that  there  is  little  doubt  of  this  having  been 
the  original  "  Table  of  Showbread,"  made  by 
Solomon,  spoken  of  in  the  Book  of  Kings,  and 
by  Josephus  ;  and  which,  with  the  candlestick 
and  the  altar  of  incense,  constituted  the  three 
wonders  of  the  temple. 

"  The  table  which  Titas  brought  with  him 


in  his  triumphal  return  to  Rome,  was  clearly 
not  the  same  ;  for  when  the  city  and  temple, 
after  the  first  destruction,  were  rebuilt  by  the 
order  of  Cyrus,  the  sacred  vessels  were  made 
anew ;  similar,  indeed,  to  the  old,  but  of  infe- 
rior excellence." 

In  the  outer  apartment  of  the  tabernacle, 
on  the  right  hand  side,  stood  a  table,  made  of 
shittim  wood,  two  cubits  long,  one  broad,  and 
one  and  a  half  high,  and  covered  with  laminae 
of  gold.  The  top  of  the  leaf  of  this  table  was 
encircled  by  a  border  or  rim  of  gold.  The 
frame  of  the  table,  immediately  below  the  leaf, 
was  encircled  with  a  piece  of  wood  of  about 
four  inches  in  breadth,  around  the  edge  of 
which  was  the  rim  or  border,  similar  to  that 
around  the  leaf.  A  little  lower  down,  but  at 
equal  distances  from  the  top  of  the  table,  there 
were  four  rings  of  gold  fastened  to  the  legs, 
through  which  staves  covered  with  gold  were 
inserted  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  it.  These 
rings  were  not  found  in  the  table  which  was  af- 
terwards made  for  the  temple,  nor  indeed  in 
any  of  the  sacred  furniture,  where  they  had 
previously  been,  except  in  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant. Twelve  unleavened  loaves  were  placed 
upon  this  table,  which  were  sprinkled  with 
frankincence.  The  number  twelve  represented 
the  twelve  tribes,  and  was  not  diminished  af- 
ter the  defection  of  the  ten  tribes  from  the 
worship  of  God  in  his  sanctuary,  because  the 
covenant  with  the  sons  of  Abraham  was  not 
formally  abrogated,  and  becaoae  there  were 
still  many  true  Israelites  among  other  tribes.

Name  In  tha  Sand. 

BY  O.  D.  PRBNTtCE. 

Alone  I  walked  the  ocean  strand, 
A  pearly  shell  was  in  my  hand, 
I  stopped  and  wrote  upon  the  eand 

My  name,  the  year,  and  day. 
As  onward  from  the  spot  I  passed, 
One  lingering  look  behind  I  cast, 
A  wave  came  rolling  high  and  fast, 

And  washed  my  lines  away. 

And  so,  methonght,  'twill  quickly  be 
With  every  mark  on  earth  from  me  I 
A  wave  of  dark  oblivion's  sea, 

Will  sweep  across  the  place 
Where  I  have  trod  the  sandy  shore 
Of  time,  and  be  to  me  no  more ;    . 
Of  me,  my  day,  the  name  I  bore. 

To  leave  no  track  or  trace. 

And  yet  with  dim  who  connts  the  sands, 
And  holds  the  water  in  His  bands, 
I  know  a  lasting  record  stands. 

Inscribed  against  my  name  ; 
Of  all  this  mortal  art  has  wrought. 
Of  all  this  tbioklDg  soul  has  thought, 
And  from  the  fleeting  moments  caught 

For  glory  or  for  ibame.

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANEK. 


The  Bnined  City- 

The  days  of  old,  though  time  has  reft 
The  dazzling  splendor  which  they  cast ; 

Yet  many  a  remnant  still  is  left 
To  shadow  forth  the  past.  


The  warlike  deed,  the  classic  page, 
The  lyric  torrent,  strong  and  free, 

▲re  lingering  o'er  the  gloom  of  age, 
Like  moonlight  on  the  sea. 

A  thousand  years  have  roU'd  along, 

And  blasted  empires  in  their  pride. 
And  witness'd  scenes  of  crime  and  wrong. 

Till  men  by  nations  died. 
A  thousand  summer-suns  have  shone, 

Till  earth  grew  bright  beneath  their  sway. 
Since  thou,  untenanted  and  lone, 

Wert  render'd  to  decay. 

The  moes-turf,  and  the  ivy-wreath, 

For  ages  clad  thy  fallen  mould, 
And  gladdeu'd  in  the  spring's  soft  breath ; 

But  they  grew  wan  and  old. 
Now,  desolation  hath  denied 

That  even  these  shall  veil  thy  gloom  : 
And  Nature's  mantling  beauty  died 

In  token  of  thy  doom. 

Alas,  for  the  far  years,  when  clad 

With  the  bright  vesture  of  thy  prime. 
Thy  proud  towers  made  each  wanderer  glad, 

Who  hail'd  thy  sunny  clime. 
Alas,  for  the  fond  hope,  and  dream, 

Apd  all  that  won  thy  children's  trnst, 
Ood  cursed — and  none  may  now  redeem. 

Pale  city  of  the  dust ! 

How  the  dim  visions  throng  the  soul. 

When  twilight  broods  upon  thy  waste  ! 
The  clouds  of  woe!  from  o'er  thee  roll, 

Thy  glory  seems  replaced. 
The  stir  of  life  is  brightening  round. 

The  structures  swell  upon  the  eye, 
And  mirth  and  revelry  resound 

In  triumph  to  the  sky. 

But  a  stern  moral  may  be  read, 

By  those  who  view  thy  lone  ly  gloom : 
Oblivion's  pall  alike  is  spread 

O'er  slave,  and  lordly  tomb. 
The  sad,  the  gay,  the  old,  and  young, 

The  warrior's  strength,  and  beauty's  glow, 
Resolved  to  that  from  which  they  sprung. 

Compose  the  dust  below. 

ECBARD. 


All  IB  for  the  Best. 

Let  man  ever  acci^tooj  himself  to  think, 
"  Whatever  God  ordains  is  good  :  to  me  it  may 
•eem  either  good  or  bad." 

A  wise  and  godly  man  came  to  a  town  the 
gates  of  which  were  shut,  and  no  man  would 
open  them  for  him ;  hungry  and  thirsty,  he 
was  forced  to  pass  the  night  under  the  open 
sky.  "  What  God  ordains  is  good,"  said  he, 
and  laid  himself  down.  His  ass  stood  tear 
him,  with  a  lighted  lantern  at  its  side,  on  ac- 
count of  the  insecurity  of  the  situation.  But 
a  storm  arose  and  put  out  the  light.  A  lion 
came  and  tore  the  ass  to  pieces.  The  good 
man  awoke,  found  himself  alone,  and  said, 
"  What  God  ordains  is  good."  And  he  waited 
calmly  for  the  dawn  of  day. 

When  he  came  to  the  gates  ho  found  them 
open  ;  the  town  was  wasted  and  plundered.— 
A  baud  of  robbers  had  attacked  it,  and  in  this 
very  night  had  slain  or  carried  captive  the  in- 
habitants. He  was  spared.  "  Said  I  not," 
he  exclaimed,  "that  all  which  God  ordains  is 
good.  In  the  morning  we  see  why  he  deoied 
US  any  thing  the  night  before." 


"If  I  behold  iniquity  in  my  hand,  the 
Lord  will  not  hear,"— Pia/m«  of  David,  (the

Affectionate  Advloe    to    a    Married 
Couple. 

[CONTINUBD.] 

The  wife  who  dreads  the  entertainment  of 
sach  an  unfavorable  opinion  of  her  in  the  mind 
of  her  husband,  must  take  care  to  let  it  have 
no  support  from  her  own  conduct:  She  knows 
what  is  now  pleasing  to  him,  by  remembering 
what  was  formerly  so.  And  he  knows  how 
capable  she  ijs  of  giving  him  pleasure,  by  rec- 
ollecting the  methods  she  once  took  for  this 
purpose,  and  that  they  are  still  practicable. 
If,  with  the  power  still  in  her  hands,  she  is 
remiss  in  the  act,  there  is  but  one  inference 
for  him  to  make  :  namely,  that  it  is  a  matter 
about  which  she  is  not  so  solicitous  as  she 
once  was. 

Here  I  am  naturally  led  to  notice  a  mon- 
strons  perversion  of  character,  irtJserved  in 
some  of  the  sex.  I  have  seen  a  woman  negli- 
gent of  all  the  duties  that  are  peculiar  to  her  ; 
and  yet,  tormentingly  busy  in  her  husband's 
immediate  province.  If  a  woman  would  pre- 
serve the  affections  of  her  husband,  let  her  not 
only  be  attentive  to  him  in  all  the  engaging 
actions  which  her  sex,  her  situation  in  the 
family,  and  her  vows,  give  him  a  right  to 
expect  from  her ;  let  her  confine  herself  to 
these. 

The  disposal  of  his  time,  or  his  property, 
his  Journeys,  his  connections,  &c.,  are  tfaingi) 
to  be  regulated  by  the  circumstances  of  his 
calling  ;  a  subject  which  probably  he  best  un- 
derstands. I  cannot  but  advise  her,  therefore, 
for  her  own  sake  as  well  as  his,  to  leave  these 
things  to  his  management;  and  to  remem- 
ber that  it  is  her  province  to  soften,  to  cheer, 
and  to  refresh  that  mind,  on  which  the  weight- 
iest cares  of  a  family  press. 

The  unfriendly  tendency  of  such  interference 
in  women  to  the  maintenance  of  mutual  affec- 
tion is,  however,  not  more  manifest  than  is 
the  supercilious  treatment  of  women.  I  refer 
to  those  ungracious  men,  who  never  honor 
the  understanding,  or  contribute  to  the  satis- 
faction of  a  wife.  For  though  not  able  to 
dictate,  may  she  not  be  capable  of  advising  T 
I 'know  many  a  man,  bow  acting  a  promi- 
nent part  in  the  Senate,  the  judgment-hall  and 
the  pulpit,  spreading  comforU  and  blessings 
to  thousands  of  onr  suffering  race,  whose  dor- 
mant faculties  would  never  have  been  roused 
from  their  natural  disposition  of  inactivity — 
or,  if  roused,  would  again,  from  want  of  ener- 
gy, have  relapsed  into  sloth,  if  the  soft  whis- 
perings of  his  guardian  angel — his  affection- 
ate wife — did  not  continually  be  fanning  the 
embers  into  an  active  glow.  Many  a  man, 
wise  in  his  own  esteem,  might  have  been  saved 
from  rnin,  had  he  deliberated  with  that 
prudent,  thoughtful,  and  affectionate  wife,  to 
whose  inquiries  he  would  scarcely  vouchsafe 
an  answer,  though  introduced  with  all  the 
graces  by  which  a  gentle  and  submissive  spirit 
solicits  attention. 

Far  be  this  supercilious  behavior  from  him 
to  whom  I  address  these  precautions  ;  and  who 
has  solemnly  pledged  himself,  not  only  to  main- 
tain, but  to  Aonor,  his  wife.  Rather  let  him 
deliberate  with  her,  who  ought  to  be  his  dear- 
est and  his  most  disinterested  friend  ;  even  in 
those  afikirs  which  it  is  his  immediate  duty  to 
superintend,  he  may  derive  useful  hints  from 
a  female  mind  in  some  particulars,  though  it 
may  not  (from  want  of  practice)  be  compre- 
hensive enough  to  grasp  the  whole  of  his  sys- 
tem. And  if  not,  yet  he  gratifies  an  inno- 
cent solicitude  to  know  something  of  affairs,  iu 
which  she  is  interested.  At  least  he  prevents 
the  mortification  which  a  sullan  or  contemptu- 
008  concealment  occosiooi. 
Such  communioatioDi  contribate  very  much 


to  keep  up  the  warmth  of  a  rational  affection, 
as  they  honor  the  understanding  of  a  woman  ; 
as  they  give  her  credit  for  taking  an  equal  in- 
terest with  her  husband  in  his  cares,  anxieties 
and  labors  ;  and,  above  all,  as  in  such  delib- 

There  is  a  way  of  conducting  them,  which 
draws  after  it  nothing  to  regret.  It  will  be 
for  the  happiness  of  both  parties,  that  these 
communications  be  obviously  the  issues  of  a 
generous  confidence. 

There  is  a  circumstance  in  every  matrimo- 
nial connection,  which  may  have  a  considerar 
ble  influence  on  the  happiness  of  the  married 
pair  :  there  are  relations  oq  both  sides.  On 
properly  managing  the  regard  paid  to  these 
persons,  the  preservation  of  mutual  affection 
is  found,  in  many  cases,  very  much  to  depend. 
Here,  some  of  the  most  humiliating  instan- 
ces have  been  exhibited  of  that  selfishness  which 
cannot  be  satisfied  with  anything  short  of  the 
monopoly  of  affection.  How  unreasonable  is 
it  to  expect  that  love  to  me  should  extinguish 
affections  that  are  due  to  those,  whom  duty, 
nature,  and  habit,  require  me  yet  to  love  !  Our 
mind  is  perverted,  if  we  do  not  perceive  some- 
thing additionally  amiable  in  that  married 
person  who,  in  the  midst  of  connections,  cares, 
and  occupations,  still  shows  to  a  tender  parent 
the  affectionate  and  reverential  spirit  of  a  duti- 
ful child ;  or  manifests  the  still  existing  union 
of  souls,  which  interested  a  fond  brother  and 
sister  in  each  other's  happiness.  If  my  affec- 
tions be  rational,  they  will  be  heightened  by 
observing  that  the  object  of  my  peculiar  attach- 
ment appears  amiable,  in  whatever  relation  I 
view  this  object.  On  the  other  hand,  I  am 
the  subject  of  a  sordid  passion,  if  I  can  rest 
satisfied  with  attentions  paid  to  me,  while  I 
observe  that  the  person  thus  devoted  to  me,  is 
inattentive  to  every  one  else. 

Affection  to  our  kindred  is  not  inconsistent 
with  the  fondest  attachment  of  the  heart  to  a 
husband  or  wife.  Do  not,  therefore,  encour- 
age that  littleness  and  pride,  which  would  lead 
you  to  think  yourself  defrauded  of  something 
that  was  your  own,  when  you  see  any  tender 
regard  paid  to  them.  It  is  a  mean  jealousy  of 
temper  that  makes  us  prompt  to  consider  our- 
selves rivalled.  It  is  a  base  pride  that  leads 
us  to  put  au  invidious  construction  on  those 
signs  of  respect  and  esteem  which  are  shown 
to  others.  Let  married  persons  guard  against 
such  a  cause  of  unhappiness  to  themselves, 
by  considering  that  the  distribution  of  affec- 
tion does  not  necessarily  diminish  its  quantity 
— but  that  it  is  even  capable  of  increasing,  as 
the  objects  on  which  it  is  exercised  multiply. 
Conjugal  affection  indeed  can  be  shared  only  by 
two  persons  ;  but  this  may  grow  and  strength- 
en, without  any  loss  sustained  to  it  from  the 
cultivation  of  filial  or  fraternal  affection. 

While  the  bonds  of  matrimony  must  not  be 
suffered  to  dissolve  those  of  filial  piety,  it  may 
be  as  well,  however,  to  suggest  this  hint  to 
married  persons :  Let  them  avoid,  as  far  as  is 
consistent  with  duty  to  relations,  that  kind  of 
manner  in  their  treatment  of  them,  which  is 
calculated  to  awaken  jealousy  in  the  married 
partner.  Through  neglect  of  this  rule  of  pru- 
dehce,  the  visit  of  a  relation  has  sometimes 
been  the  period  of  misery  to  a  couple  who  had 
hitherto  lived  in  harmony.  Cannot  we  be  glad 
to  see  a  parent,  a  sister,  or  a  brother,  without 
reducing  a  wife  or  a  husband  to  a  cypher  in 
the  house,  during  their  stay  in  it  ?  Is  it  pru- 
dent to  be  so  profuse  in  the  e-vpressions  of  our 
regard  for  them,  as  to  lead  the  partner  of  onr 
life  to  have  an  interest  in  their  departure  ? 

These  admonitions  on  the  article  of  atten- 
tions seemed  to  me  deserving  of  your  regard. 
That  matrimony  was  instituted  for  the  happi- 


ness of  mankind  there  can  be  no  doubt.  But 
it  is  not  necessary  to  the  fulfilment  of  this  in- 
tention  that  happiness  should  spring  up  spon- 
taneously to  those  who  enter  the  marriage 
state.  It  deserves  our  thankfulness  to  him 
who  ordain'"^  this  union*  that  it  wiU  fully  an- 
swer its  intention  to  these  who  will  be  at  the 
pains  of  guarding  against  whatever  may  defeat 
that  intention. 

By  this  sol>er  view  I  wish  you  to  adjust 
your  hopes.  Do  not  entertain  expecUtions  of 
bliss,  which  the  circumstances  of  the  world, 
and  the  imbecility  of  your  noture,  will  render 
it  imiwssible  to  realize.  You  must  not  only 
expect  to  meet  with  untoward  circumstances 
in  the  world,  but  likewise  to  discover  faults  in 
each  other.  Neither  the  scene  nor  the  actors 
will  be  f9tind  to  answer  the  ideas  you  may 
have  formed  of  them.  The  scene  you  cannot 
alter— it  will  be  managed  by  a  superior  power 
— but  you  may  accommodate  yourselves  to  it. 
And  this  is  incumbent  on  yon,  not  only  in  the 
relation  you  both  sustain  to  the  great  Dispo- 
ser ;  but  with  respect  to  the  obligations  you 
are  under  to  support  one  another  comfortably, 
in  the  various  changes  through  which  you  may 

have  to  pass. 

Among  other  things  which  should  be  your 
care  in  this  view,  is  the  cultivation  of  good 
temper.  But  to  the  consideration  of  so  essen- 
tial a  point,  I  shall  appropriate  a  separate 
chapter. 

[to  be  oontinubd.] 


Useful  AnimalB  often  Destroyed  as 
Hurtful. 

Multitudes  of  animals  are  most  unmercifully 
destroyed  from  ignorance  of  their  uses,  from  an 
idea  that  they  are  noxious  and  injurious  to 
some  petty  concern  of  a  field  or  garden ;  and  at 
the  very  time  they  are  rendering  important 
services  to  man,  they  are  mowed  down  as  i' 
they  were  his  sworn  enemies,  and  bad  con- 
spired against  his  life.  Hence  the  rooks  m 
some  parts  of  England  were  at  one  time  iu 
danger  of  being  extirpated,  as  we  learn  from 
the  author  of"  A  Philosophical  Survey  of  the 
Animal  Creation." 

"  The  rook,"  says  he,  "  is  a  species  of  crow 
that  feeds  upon  worms  produced  from  the  eggs 
of  the  May-bug.  As  these  and  all  the  winged 
insects  in  general  are  to  be  supported  by  the 
roots  of  plants,  they  deposit  their  eggs  pretty 
deep  in  the  earth,  in  a  hole  they  dig  for  that 
purpose.  The  worms  and  caterpillars  upon 
which  the  rook  feeds,  are  not  exposed  to  the 
mercy  of  this  bird  till  the  earth  is  thrown  up. 
Hence  it  is  that  rooks  always  frequent  lands 
recently  cultivated,  that  the  sight  of  the  hus- 
bandman with  his  plough  puts  them  in  action, 
and  that  they  search  with  so  much  assiduity 
about  furrows  newly  formed. 

"  Some  years  ago  the  farmers  in  one  of  the 
principal  counties  of  England  entertained  a 
notion  that  these  birds  were  prejudicial  to  their 
grain,  and  they  determined,a8  if  of  one  accord, 
to  extirpate  the  race.  The  rooks  were  every- 
where persecuted  ;  their  nests  demolished  ; 
their  young  ones  destroyed.  But  in  proportion 
to  the  decrease  of  this  animal,  they  found 
themselves  overrun  with  swarms  of  worms,  cat" 
erpillars,  butterflies,  and  bugs,  which  attached 
themselves  to  the  grain,  trees,  and  fruits,  and 
occasioned  greater  desolation  iu  one  day  than 
the  rooks  would  have  done  in  the  [space  of  a 
twelvemonth.  Many{farmers  were  ruined.  At 
length  the  persecution  ceased  ;  and  they  found 
that  in  proportion  as  this  race  of  aaimali 
was  restored,  the  scourge  which  their  destruc- 
tion had  occasioned  ctased  likewise," 

To  this  authority  may  be  added  that  of 
Salby,  who,  in  his  "  lUastratiuns  of  British 


THE     WEEKLY     OLEANER

)rDithology"  p.  73,  affirms  that"  wherever  the 
mnisbing  or  extirpating  of  rooks  has  been 
larried  into  effect,  the  most  serious  injury  to 
be  corn  and  other  crops  had  invariably  foi. 
owed,  from  the  unchecke<l  devastations  of  the 
Tob  and  the  caterpillar.  In  Northumberland

he  name  of  Harry-long-legs,  ( Ttpula-ormcem,) 
vhich  is  very  destructive  to  the  roots  of  grain 
lod  young  clover." 

This  is  very  instructive  history.    It  should 
)eniade  universally  known;  and  at  the  same 
ime  it  should  induce  men  to  examine   well 
rbether  many  of  the  creatures  against  which 
hey  wage  an  extirminating  war,  may  not  be 
,Diong  their  benefactors.     Notwithstanding, 
rows  still  continue  to  be  the  objects  of  remorse- 
ess  persecution.    Will  it  be  believed  that  in 
he  month  of  June,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
838,  William  Evans,  of  Trefargood,  in  com- 
)any  with  another  farmer,  killed   1915  crows 
D    Pantyderi-wood,  Pembrokeshire,    in    the 
lonrse  of  three  hours,  or  from  three  to  six 
'clock  in  one   evening?    Of  the  motive  to 
bis    massacre  we  are  not  informed,  but  it 
iras  probably  from  the  mistaken  idea  that 
these  birds  were  enemies  to  agriculture, — an 
dea  of  which  some   minds  seem  incapable  of 
)eing  dispossessed.     The  American  farmers  of 
New  England  once  offered  a  reward  of  three- 
pence per  bead   for  the  heads  ©f  t^  par^ 
jrackle,  because  it  took  a  little  of  the  grain  to 
which  it  had  an  equitable  claim,  for  its  services 
in  preventing  the  depredation  of  insects  ;  when, 
in  consequence  of  this  cruel  and  impolitic  act, 
the  birds  were  "  nearly  extirpated,  insects  in- 
creased to  such  a  degree  as  to  cause  a  total 
loes  of  the  herbage,  and  the  inhabitants  were 
ibliged  to  obtain  hay  for  their  cattle,  not  only 
from  Pennsylvania,  but  even  from  Great  Brit- 
ain." 

Many  birds  besides  rooks  are  destroyed, 
under  the  mistaken  idea  that  they  are  injuri- 
ous to  the  garden  or  orchard,  at  the  very  time 
they  are  most  useful  to  both,  in  feeding  them- 
selves and  their  nestlings  on  grubs  and  ca'er" 
pillars. 

"  The  common  sparrow,  though  proscribed 
as  a  most  mischievous  bird,  destroys  a  vast 
number  of  insects.  Bradley  has  calculated 
that  a  single  pair,  having  young  to  maintain, 
will  destroy  thirty-six  hundred  caterpillars  in 
a  week." 

"  The  blie  [titmouse  often  falls  a  victim  to 
ignorance  in  Ireland,  as  it  does  iu  Englond,  in 
consequence  of  the  injury  it  is  supposed  to  do 
to  fruit-trees.  Mr.  Selby  most  justly  pleads 
in  favor  of  its  being  a  friend  rather  than  of 
its  being  an  enemy,  in  fact,  to  the  horticul- 
turist." 

Quadrupeds,  as  well  as  birds,  suffer  much 
under  slanderous  imputations,  as  can  be  attest- 
ed by  the  badger  and  the  hedgehog.  The  for- 
mer, a  harmless,  inoffensive  animal,  is  baited 
and  worried  by  dogs,  because  he  destroys 
lambs  and  rabbits  !  This  charge,  however, 
has  not  been  substantiated  ;  and  it  is  known 
that  he  feeds  on  roots,  fruits,  insects,  frogs  and 
such  small  game.  But  he  is  strong  and  pow- 
erful, and  can  repel  his  assailants,  when  fairly 
matched,  with  great  dexterity.  He  is  there, 
fore  capable  of  affording  an  "  inhuman  diver- 
sion," as  Berwick  states, "  to  the  idle  and  the 
vicious,  who  take  a  cruel  pleasure  in  teasing 
this  harmless  animal  surrounded  by  its  ene- 
mies, and  defending  itself  from  their  attacks, 
which  it  does  with  astonishing  agility  and  suc- 
cess."' 
The  hedgehog  also  is  assailed  by  dogs,  torn 

in  pieces,  drowned,  or  burned,  because  he  sucks 

cows  ;  whereas  he  might  as  well  be  accused 


of  sucking  the  great  northern  bear.  He  also 
climbs  apple-trees,  and  carries  off  the  fruit 
sticking  to  the  spines  on  bis  back !  Such  a 
dextrous  feat  would  merit  the  apples;  and 
should  he  cat  the  fruits  that  fall  iu  his  way, 
they  would  be  but  a  small  compensation  for 
tts  IHfftcii  to  thB  horticullurist  in  gnawing 
the  roots  of  the  plantain,  a  troublesome  weed, 
and  in  destroying  worms,  beetles,  and  various 
species  of  iilBfcets.  If  taken  to  the  kitchen,  he 
will  soon  clear  it  of  cockroaches,  and  ably  dis- 
charge the  duties  of  a  turnspit  dog. 

That  God  has  created  nething  in  vain, 
should  be  considered  as  an  axiom  both  in  phi- 
losophy and  religion ;  though  there  may  be 
some  things  of  which  we  cannot  seethe  imme- 
diate use,  and  others,  in  certain  localities,  pos- 
itively injurious.  Animals,  the  most  feeble, 
and  apparently  insigniGcant,  even  those  which 
escape  unassisted  vision,  as  the  infusoria  and 
other  animalculaj,  serve  the  most  beneficial 
purposes.  "Phefsupply  nutriment  to  creatures 
larger  and  stronger  ;  and  these  in  their  turn 
become  the  prey  of  a  still  stronger  race  ;  and 
these  again  of  birds,  fishes,  quadrupeds,  and 
man. 

Buffon  says,  "  Insects  do  more  harm  than 
good :"  a  strange  assertion  from  so  distin- 
guished naturalist !  The  entire  genus  of  swal- 
lows, the  wood-pecker,  and  the  young  of  almost 
the  whole  f 'athered  creation,  and  the  tribes  of 
fishte,  would  .contradict  liia  -assertion. — The_ 
ant-eater,  the  chameleon,  the  mole,  the  bat,  the 
hedge-hog,  and  the  badger,  will  testify  against 
him,  as  will  also  the  bee-master,  the  silk-man- 
ufacturer, and  the  physician. 

Insects  are  teasing,  sometimes  destructive  ; 
but  they  labor  industriously  to  provide  us  with 
food  and  raiment,  and  dye-stuffi  and  medicine. 
Innumerable  myriads  of  gnats  [Calex  pipiens) 
in  the  northern  regions  supply  food  for  shoals 
of  fishes,  and   millions  of  game,  and  may   be 
considered    as  the  proximate    cause    of   the 
annual  migration  of  the  finny  and  the  feathered 
tribes,  which  afford  such  an  abundant  supply 
of  nutriment,  not  only  to  the  Laplander  and 
Esquimaux,  but  to   the  inhabitants  of  every 
shore  which  they  visit.      Were  insects  annihi- 
lated, how  many  species  of  other  animals  would 
languish  and  die,  and  men   themselves  would 
be  among  the  greatest  sufferers.  For  it"i»-with 
the  animal  kingdom,  as  with  the  body  politic, 
or  the  microcosm  of  the  human  frame,  if  "  one 
member  suffer,  all  the  members  suffer  with  it," 
and  the  loss  of  one  class  or  order  would   In- 
volve that  of  another,  till  all  would  perish.     If 
some  species  are  injurious  to  the  garden  or  or- 
chard, the  wardrobe  and  the  museum,  they  are 
beneficial  in  some  other  department,  and  the 
mischief  of  whTfch  we  complain  is  amply  com- 
pensated by  the  greater  good  of  which   they 
are  the  ministers.    The  Dermcstes,  the  Ceram- 
byx,iuad  the  C'an</iansna«a^js,  prey  upon  wood. 
They  injttre  the  water-pipe,  reduce  the  fallen 
trees  of  the  forest  to  powder,  and  bore  through 
tho  war-ship's  ribs  ;  but  while  busied  in  these 
ofierations^  they  are  furnishing  employment  to 
the  pump  borer,  the  sawyer,  and  the  carpenter. 
St.  Pierre  has  beautifully  observed  that  "  the 
weevil  and  the  moth  oblige  the  wealthy  mo- 
nopoliser to  bring  his  goods  to  market,  and  by 
destroying  the  wardrobes  of  the  opulent,  they 
give  bread  to  the  industrious.     Were  grain  as 
incorruptible  as  gold,  it  would  be  soon  as 
scarce  ;  and  we  ought  to  bless  the  haad   that 
created  the  insect  that  obliges  them  to  sift, 
and  turn,  and  ultimately  to  bring  the  grain  to 
a  public  ao.\e."—Rieli1s  of  Animals.

THE  NEWS. 


Putrid  Sore  Throat. 

The  prevalence  of  this  infectious  disease  at 
this  season,  which  tore  many  a  dear  child  from 
its  mother's  side,  induces  us  to  give  the  follow- 
ing advice  for  those  who  cannot  caH  an  able 
physician  in  aid.  Inhabitante  of  cities  had 
better  send  for  medical  aid  immediately. 

Symptoms.— All  tho  marks  of  tjphus  ;  on 
the  second  day  a  difficulty  of  swallowing  ;  res- 
piration hurried ;  breath  hot  ;  skin  dry  and 
burning  ;  a  quick^ealc  and  irregular  pulse  ; 
scarlet  patches  break  out  about  the  lips,  and 
the  inside  of  the  mouth  and  throat  is  of  a  fiery 
red  color.  About  the  third  day  blotches  of  a 
dark  red  color  make  their  appearance  about 
the  face  and  neck,  which" soon  extend  over  the 
whole  body.  Upon  examining  the  throat,  a 
number  of  specks,  between  an  ash  and  a  dark 
brown  "color  are  observed  on  the  palate,  uvula, 
tonsils,  &c.  ;  a  brown  fur  covers  the  tongue, 
the  lips  are  covered  with  little  vesicles  or  blad- 
ders, which  burst  and  give  out  a  thin  acrid 
matter,  that  produces  ulceration  wherever  it 
touches.  In  bad  cases,  the  inside  of  the  mouth 
and  throat  become  black,  and  are  covered 
with  foul  spreading  ulcers,  when  all  the  symp- 
toms that  characterize  putrid  fever  ensue. 

Distinguish  it  from  scarlet  fever,  by  the  fever 
beinc  a  typhus  and  not  inflammatory,  by  the 
sore  throat,  dark  tongue,  and  putrid  spmptoms; 
and  from  measles,  by  the  absence  of  cough, 
sneezing,  watering  of  the  eyes,  &c. 

Treatment. — Bleeding  iu  this  disease  is  ab- 
solutely forbidden.  The  same  may  be  said  of 
active  and  strong  purgatives.  The  bowels, 
however,  should  be  kept  open  by  mild  laxa- 
tives or  injections.  If  towards  tho  close  of  the 
complaint  there  is  any  obstruction,  a  few 
grains  of  calomel  and  rhubarb  may  be  given. 
Cold  water  dashed  over  the  body  is  one  of  the 
most  powerful  remedies  we  can  employ  ;  it 
should  never  be  omitted  ;  and  as  soon  as  the 
patient  is  dried  and  in  bed,  half  a  pint  of  strong 
mullefl  wine  should  be  given  to  him.  This 
practice,  boldly  followed,  frequently  puts  an 
end  to  the  disease. 

Emetics  are  used  in  the  beginning  with  ad- 
vantage, but  the  great  and  evident  indication 

to  prevent  and  counteract  the  disposition  to 
puftpcency,  and  to  support  the  strength.  For 
this  purpose  the  bold  infusion  of  bark,  or  bark 
in  substance,  with  ten  or  twelve  drops  of  mur- 
iatic acid,  and  eight  or  nine  drops  of  laudanum, 
should  be  taken  frequently,  and  in  large  doses. 
Cayenne  pepper  is  a  valuable  article  ;  it  may 
be  taken  in  pills,  or  in  a  mixture.  To  cleanse 
the  throat,  gargle  frequently  with  vinegar  and 
water.  Any  looseness  of  the  bowels  must  be 
checked  by  powerful  astringents.  The  diet 
should  consist  of  arrow  root,  jelly,  panada, 
tapioca,  and  gruel,  and  the  drink  of  wine  whey, 
wine  and  water,  &c.,  increasing  the  quantity 
of  the  wine  according  to  the  weakness  and  age*" 
of  the  patient.  The  greatest  cleanliness  is  to 
be  observed  in  the  chamber.  As  this  disease 
is  undoubtedly  contagious,  all  unnecessary 
communication  with  the  sick  room  should  be 
prevented,  and  those  who  are  compelled  to  be 
with  them,  will  do  well  to  take  a  spoonful  of 
the  Cayenne  mixture  from  time  to  time,  by 
way  of  prevention.  It  is  asserted  to  be  a 
safeguard.

Our  Name.  ' 

[continued  fbom  paqe  52.  j 
Another  reason  for  assuming  the  name  of 
M'Huseph,  ("  Gleaner,")  is,  because  that  name 
reminds  us  of  the  name  and  loving-kindneas  of 
God.  Wo  acted  on  the  beautiful  motto :  "  Ac- 
knowledge Him  in  all  thy  ways,  and  Ho  will 
Tlven  thy  paths."    CTrcumstanced  as  wVare, 
we  only  have  to  look  up  to  a  Heaven  above  for 
encouragement  and  support.    "  Truth,''  says 
Tertullian,  "  is  a  stranger  on  earth— she  ex- 
pects no  friends  in  a  strange  land."    This  bit- 
ter truth  is  the  experience  of  the  philosopher 
and  the  divine,  among  the  Gentiles  and  the 
House  of  Israel.    In  directing  our    eyes  to 
God,  we  assumed  a  name  ascribed  to  Him  in 
the  Holy  Writ.    In  the  Bible,  God  is"  called 
Measseph.    The  prophet  Isaiah,  speaking  of 
the  restoration  of  Jndah  from  the  Babylonian 
captivity,  and  contrasting  it  with  the  exodus 
from  Egypt,  says,  chapter  lii.l2.  Ye  (Israel) 
shall  not  go  out  (from^ Babylon,  as  we  did  from 
Egypt,  Exod.  xvi.19-20,)  in  haste— nor  go  by 
flight ;  for  the  Lord  will  go  before  you,  apd 
the  God  of  Israel  will  be  "  Maassephabuh,"  (thy 
Rearward) — i.  e.,  thy  Cover,  Protector  and 
Defence.    We,  therefore,  in  view  of  these.  His 
attributes,  set  the  name  referring  to  it,  at  the 
head  of  our  arduous  undertaking. 

Ij«tly,the  root "  asaph,"  (to  gather,)  is  used 
in  Scripture,  of  our  departure  from  this  life— 
of  our  being  "  gathered"  unto  our  fathers.- 
(See  Gtmeeitj  xlix.29  ;  Judges  ri.it) ;  Numbers 
XX.26;  Isai.  xvi.lO,  60,  20;  Jer.  xlviii.33  ; 
Hos.  iv.3.)     And  what  can  be  more  useful  to 
a  pilgrim  to  the  Land  of  his  Fathers,  than 
having  continually  before  his  eyes  the  goal  to- 
wards which   he  laboriously  has  to  proceed. 
"  Consider,"    saith    the   son  of     Mahalallel, 
"  three  things,  and  thou  wilt  not  be  misled  into 
sin  :  consider  whence  thou  comest,  (viz.,  from 
a  most  humiliating  origin  ;)   whither  thou  go- 
est,  (to  worms,  dust  and  ashes  ;)  and,  thirdly, 
in  whose  presence  thou  wilt  have  to  render  an 
account  in  judgment."    And  having  this  Land 
of  Promise  continually  before  our  eyes,  we 
assumed  a  name  that  aflFords  us  encouragement 
on  our  thorny  path,  and  holds  up   before  us 
the  joyful   prospect  of  at  last,  when  worn  out 
with  toil,  labor  and  trouble,  reaching,  by  the 
mercy  and  grace  of  God ,  a  place  where  "  their 
love  and  their   hatred"  will  bo  lost  and  rest 
found,    under    the    protecting    wing  of   our 
"  M»a8seph,"— our  Gatherer— even   God,  our 
Helper  and  Deliverer. 

The  acceptation  of  the  term,  "  nsseph,"  in 
the  sense  of  being  gathered  to  our  final  home, 
illustrates  a   beautiful  passage  in  the  prophet 
Isaiah  Iviii  8  ;  where,  after  an  enumeration  of 
the  primary  duties  of  religion,  at  which  we 
glanced  in   our  last  number  but  one,  in  the 
article   "The  Three  Friends,"   the    prophet 
makes  the  following  promises  to  the  faithful 
performer  of  these  duties  :  "  Thy  light,"  saith 
he,  (the  soul,  which   is  compared  in  Scripture 
to  light,  as  the  '  soul  of  man  is  a  divine  lamp,' 
Prov.  XX.27,)  shall  break  forth  (yi-bbaka,  used 
of  fowls  breaking  the  shell  after  being  hatched 
— which  bears  a  striking  analogy  to  the  final 
breaking  forth  of  the  spirit  from  the  body  on 
leaving  it,  in  the  last  hour  of  our  present  state, 
after  a-  long  or  short  confinement  in  the  same) 
as  the  morning  dawn,  (here,  again,  our  present 
state  is  compared  to  the  night,  and  '  the  break- 
ing forth  of  the  soul  from  the  body,'  to  the 
breaking  forth  of  the  dawn  after  the  night,) 
and  thy   health  (Heb.  aroocha  thechah—hom 
arash  to  extend,  to  be  long ;  'aroochath  echah:' 
prolongation— the  state,  of  Eternity—)  shall 
spring  forth  speedily,  {zamach,  to  shoot  up,  to 
shoot  forth  again,  comparing    the   breaking 
forth  of  the  soul  from  its  earthly  receptacle — 


the  body— to  the  shooting  up  of  the  vita!  plant 
from  the  earth,  to  which  it  was  confided  by  tha 
hand  of  the  sower  for  growth^  as  is  the  sou!  in 
the  body  ;)  thy  righteousness  shall  go  before 
thee— (shall  proceed  to  the  regions  of  bliss,) 
and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy  rear- 
ward"—(Heb.  ya-asphcha,  shall  gather  thee

of  feasting  and  joy,  and  of  sending  portions  one 
to  another,  and  gifts  to  the  poor,"  &c. 


Such  is  the  import,  and  such  are  the  associa- 
tions of  the  word  "  M«asseph,"  which  we  ren- 
dered by  the  English  word  "Gleaner,"  and  have 
chosen  as  our  name,  heading  and  motto.  May 
it  remind  the  reader  of  the  great  and  solemn 
truths  enunciated  in  this  article,  and  may  it 
prove  a  blessing ! 


The  Feast  of  Furim. 
How  dark  soever  the  mysterious  workings 
of  Providence  are,  they  are  sufficiently  dis- 
cernable  to  command  our  gratitude  to  the  dis- 
penser of  our  fate,  to  afford  consolation  to 
oppressed  innocence,  and  to  warn  presumptu- 
ous wickedness  ;  to  shame  the  vanity  of  man, 
baffle  the  calculations  of  weak  sighted  mortals, 
and  to  show  that  God  often  chooses  feeble 
means  to  produce  great  effects.  The  revels  of 
an  Ahasuerus  arejthc  means  of  elevating  an  or- 
phan to  the  throne ;  black  malice  under  the 
garb  of  patriotism  ii?  a  means  of  elevating  a 
Mordecai  to  the  station  of  Prime  Minister.  A 
sleepless  night  brings  to  remembrance  the  for- 
gotten benefactors,  and  the  deepest  mourning 
ftirms  the  transition  to  un?peakabre  joy, — 
"  Man's  adversity  is  God'^  opportunity."  Ha- 
man's  arrogant,  heavenward  toweriug  pride, 
joined  with  malice,  fulls  before  the  humble  wo- 
man ;  a  weak,  fragile  vessel,  Esther,  saves  a 
whole  nation  from  perdition. 

The  all-seeing  hand  of  God  i.s  invisibly  held 
over  those  who  serve  him.  He  delivers  them 
from  the  plans  and  machinations  of  evil  doers. 
We  may  have  to  mourn  and  fast  for  a  time, 
but  the  day  comes  when  tbe  mourning  is  con- 
verted into  joy,  and  the  fust  into  a  feast. 

Events  are  recorded  as  a  lesson  to  future  gen- 
erations ;  days  are  instituted  to  commemorate 
the  fasts,  to  mark  them  indelibly  on  the  tablet 
oftim\  Thus  we  commemorate  on  Monday 
next,  the  ninth  inst.  the  fast  of  Esther,  and  on 
Tuesday  and  Wednesday  next  the'  Feast  'of 
Purim.  The  historic  foundation  is  to  be  read 
in  the  book  of  Esther  ;  the  manner  of  obser- 
vance is,  in  religious  countries,  as  follows  : 
The  13th  of  Adar  is  a  fast  in  memory  of  the 
three  days  fasting  of  the  Queen  and  her  nation, 
the  fourteenth  day  and  the  fifteenth  are  devot- 
ed to  feasting. 

The  Synagogue  commemorates  the  happy 
deliverance  from  the  fatal  conspiracy  of  lla- 
raau  by  reading,  morning  and  evening,  be- 
sides the  ordinary  prayers,  the  book  of  Esther, 
which  is,  fir  Synagogual  purposes  written  on 
vellum.  The  reader,  after  he  has  unrolled  the 
volume,  pronounces  three  prayers,  and  returns 
thanks  to  Almighty  God,  for  allowing  the  con- 
gregation to  share  the  ceremony,  and  for  de- 
livering their  forefathers  out  of  the  hands  of  a 
merciless  Haman.  lie  then  reads  the  book  of 
Esther.  This  is  repeated  the  following  morn- 
ing, to  which  is  added  the  seventeenth  chapter 
of  Exodus,  eighth  verse,  "  Then  came  Amah- 
lek,"&c.,There  are  also  other  peculiar  blessings 
and  thanksgiving,  in  the  liturgy  for  the  oc- 
casion. 

On  this  feast  wo  bestow  alms  upon  the  poor, 
and  ail  relations  and  friends  visit,  and  send 
each  other  presents,  principally  of  such  things 
as  arc  good  to  oat.  Scholars  make  presents 
to  their  tutors,  masters  to  their  servants,  and 
persons  of  distinction  to  their  inferiors.  In 
short,  the  whole  day  is  spent  in  cheerfulness 
and  gayety,  as  it  is  written  in  the  ninth  chapter 


Tbe  Hand  of  Gk>d. 

What  bounds  can  be  assigned  to  human  am- 
bition? Ahasnerus,  king  of  Persia,  whose  em- 
pire was  extended  to  the  most  distant  regions 
of  the  globe,  prepares  to  add  yet  other  pro- 
vinces to  his  conquests.  He  cannot  hope  to 
see  the  land  he  now  possesses,  and  yet  he  can- 
not rest  while  he  hears  of  more.  How  small  a 
portion  of  the  earth  is  sufficient^  the  mightj 
dead,  whom,  while  living,  a  whole  wo^ld  could 
scarcely  satisfy  ?  How  vain  and  frivolous  it 
that  happiness  which  depends  on  popular  ap- 
plause— on  the  exaggeration  of  those  titles 
which  are  very  far  from  conducing  to  real  glo- 
ry? Nothing  can  properly  fill  the  heart  of 
map  but  He  who  made  it. 

Ahasuerus,  by  way  of  triumph  for  his  past 
victories,  and  with  a  view  of  animating  his 
princes  and  soldiers  to  future  exploits,  makes 
a  feast  like  himself,  princely  and  magnificent. 
For  six  whole  months  the  people,  the  natioDB 
and  the  languages  resort  to  Susa.  The  spa- 
cious court  of  the  palace  is  turned  into  a  royal 
hall — the  walls  are  of  rich  hangings— the  pil- 
lars of  marble — the  couches  enriched  with  sil- 
ver— the  pavement  of  porphyry — the  vessels 
of  the  purest  gold. 

^Vinid  all  this  princely  magnificene,  in  the 
height  of  his  ostentation  and  glory,  the  lord  of 
Asia  finds  himself  despised  and  set  at  nought 
by  a  capricious  woman.  The  scorn  and  diso- 
bedience of  his  queen,  so  publicly  demonstrated 
to  the  world,  at  once  eclipses  all  his  magnifi- 
cence, fills  that  heart  with  sorrow  which  had 
expected  nothing  but  joy,  and  puts  the  king  of 
so  many  kings  to  shame  before  those  very 
nobles  whom  he  meant  to  send  away  astonished 
at  his  power  and  majesty. 

The  Jews  were  only  partially  returned  to 
the  land  of  their  captivity  ;  many  of  that  scat- 
tered people  were  yet  in   the  dominions  of 
AhaSuerus — all  were  under  the  sceptre  of  his 
power.    Lo,  the  mercy  of  God  causes  light  to 
arise  in  the  midst  of  darkness,  to  cheer  the 
hearts    of  a   repentant  and  afflicted  nation. 
The  pious  and  faithful  Esther  is  called  on  to 
share  the  throne  of  Ahasnerus,  in  place  of  the 
repudiated  Vashti.    It  was  happy  for  this  or- 
phan that  in  the  land  of  her  captivity,  the 
tenderness  of  Mordecai  had  fulfilled  all  those 
duties  which  the   early  death  of  her  parents 
forbade  them  to  discharge.     Above  all  things, 
he  impressed  upon  her  young  mind  those  re- 
ligious sentiments  which  preser  veJ  her  constan- 
cy unshaken  amidst  the  severest  trials — taught 
her,  in  an  idolatrous  city,  to  worship  the  God 
of  Israel— taught  her,  while  in   the  splendid 
palace  of  Susa,  to  think  with  the  fondest  affec- 
tion on  Jerusalem. 

She  prays,  she  meditates  in  secret— tor  Mor- 
decai, on  her  advancement  to  the  royal  dignity, 
enjoined  her  to  conceal  for  a  season  the  cir- 
cumstances of  her  birth.  Her  unparalleled 
beauty  had  raised  her  to  the  throne — he  feared 
lest  (while  her  honors  were  yet  unsettled)  the 
mention  of  her  captivity  n«ight  expose  her  to 
unmerited  contempt ;  he  looked  forward  to  the 
time  when  her  virtues  should  endear  her  to 
every  heart ;  when  her  name  should  dignify 
her  nation,  and  take  away  the  reproach  from 
the  people  of  God. 

The  office  of  Mordecai  led  him  to  daily  at- 
tendance at  the  palace  of  Ahasuerus — his  piety 
and  religion  taught  him  faithfulness  in  his 
service.  Two  of  the  king's  chamberlains  con- 
spire against  the  life  of  their  lord.  Mordecai 
discovers  the  meditated  treason,  and  reveals  it 
at  once  to  Esther.     With  what  joy  does  the

qaeeb  avail  herself  of  tbls  opportunity  to  com- 
mend in  public  the  fidelity  of  one  whom  she 
secretly  loved  and  honored  I  She  imparts  the 
discovery  to  the  king  in  the  name  of  Mordecai; 
the  cicumstances  are  examined ;  the  plot  is 
discovered  ;  the  traitors  executed  ;  the  service 
recorded  in  the  Persian  annals.  No  greatness 
can  afford  a  security  from  malice  or  violence. 
He  who  ruled  over  millions  of  men,  the  lord  of 
one  hondred  and  twenty-seven  provinces,  ex- 
eoding  from  India  to  Ethiopia,  is  in  danger  of 
bii  life  by  the  arm  of  an  assassin.  How  much 
more  happy  is  the  true  believer  in  God  I  He 
can  look  forward  to  a  crown  incorruptible, 
oodefiled,  and  that  fadetb  not  away,  reserved 
for  him  in  the  regions  of  glory.  No  force,  no 
treason  can  reach  thither ;  there  can  be  no 
peril  either  of  violence  or  forfeiture. 

Without  any  other  recompense  than  is  af- 
forded by  his  own  conscious  virtue,  Mordecai 
returns  to  the  duties  of  his  office.  Little  did 
tbe  people  imagine  that  the  child  of  his  adop- 
tion was  seated  in  the  throne  of  Persia  ;  little 
did  tbe  proud  Haman  imagine  that  the  man 
who  refused  to  pay  obeisance  to  his  new-born 
dignity  stood  so  nearly  connected  with  tbe 
empress  of  the  world  ! 

All  the  servants,  all  the  subjects  of  Ahasu- 
erus, fall  prostrate,  by  the  king's  command^ 
before  his  minion.  Mordecai  cannot,  dares 
not  pay  this  forbidden  homage.  His  compan- 
ions charge  him  with  disobedience,  and  spare 
not  the  language  of  expostulation ;  he  ts  silent 
for  a  while  ;  at  last  he  imparts  thus  much,  ia 
justification  of  his  conduct :  "  Let  it  suffice  that 
I  am  a  Jew,  and  Haman  an  Amalekite." 

How  prone  are  men  to  hate  those  who  are 
deaf  to  their  persuasions  !  The  associates  of 
Mordecai  hasten  to  inform  the  favorite  that  a 
proud  and  stubborn  Jew  sat  among  them,  who 
scorned  to  bow  the  knee  to  his  greatness. 
No  sooner  is  the  accusation  made  than  the 
Agogite  in  a  transport  of  fury  repairs  to  the 
king's  gate,  that  he  might  view  the  man  who 
dared  deny  reverence  to  the  greatest  prince  of 
Persia.  How  did  his  eyes  sparkle  with  fury 
when  he  saw  that  no^apprehension  of  personal 
danger  could  prevail  on  Mordecai  to  trans- 
gress the  law  of  his  God  1 

A  Jew  had  offended  Haman  ;  the  whole  na- 
tion must  perish  to  assuage  his  wrath.  The 
monarchy  of  the  world  is  now  in  the  hands  of 
Ahasuerus ;  scarcely  was  there  a  Hebrew  up- 
on earth  out  of  the  reach  of  Haman 's  fury  and 
bis  master's  power.  The  generation  shall  die 
at  once ;  tbe  people  who  had  been  renowned 
for  so  many  thousand  years  shall  fall  a  sacrifice 
Iq  a  moment,  to  tbe  indignant  pride  of  Haman. 
Perhaps  the  hereditary  quarrel  between  Israel 
and  Amalek  inflamed  his  rage  and  gave  fresh 
vigor  to  his  resentment. 

It  seems  to  have  been  a  providential  inter- 
ference of  God,  that  the  day  fixed  on  by  lot  for 
tbe  perpetration  of  this  atrocious  act  should 
have  been  at  so  considerable  a  distance  of  time 
from  the  projecting  of  it.  In  the  period  of 
eleven  months  the  treachery  of  Haman  was 
discovered,  and  the  Jews  were  spared. 

Having  previously  determined  on  the  day 
for  the  intended  massacre,  he  repairs  to  Ahasu- 
erus in  a  careless  confidence  Or  success.  He 
demands,  as  if  it  were  a  trivial  request,  that  a 
certain  people  scattered  among  the  provinces, 
a  people  differing  in  laws  and  customs  from 
the  rest  of  mankind,  a  people  useless  and  bur- 
densome, if  not  actually  dangerous,  may  be  ex- 
terminated from  the  face  of  the  earth.  How 
easy  is  it  to  suggest  untruths  when  there  is  no 
man  to  answer !  That  the  Jews  were  dispersed 
was  their  misery,  not  their  choice  ;  it  was  a 
circumstance  which  should  have  disarmed  re- 
sentment and  pleaded  for  pity  ;  often  did  they 


fstjnaUt  Ood  in  sorrow  of  heart,  "Have  mercy 
on  us,  O  Lord,  and  save  us ;  our  soul  is  full 
of  contempt ;  we  are  scattered  among  tbe 
heathen  !"  That  they  were  seditious,  was  a 
most  unjust  and  cruel  slander.  Their  laws 
enjoined  obedience,  and  denounced  vengeance 
against  rebellion.  That  their  extinction  would 
tend  to  the  glory  and  welfare  of  Ahasuerus  is 
a  charge  which  Haman  himself  disproves,  while 
in  contradiction  to  his  own  assertions  he  offers 
ten  thousand  talents  of  silver  to  the  royal 
treasury  as  the  price  of  innocent  blood  ! 

■  Too  long  had  the  king  been  enslaved  to  his 
unworthy  favorite.  Without  considering  the 
weight  of  these  specious  arguments,  he  deliv- 
ers to  the  sanguinary  monster  his  royal  signet. 
The  secretaries  are  called — messengers  are 
dispatched  ipto  all  the  provinces — the  day 
is  appointed  on  which  all  Jews,  without  re- 
gard to  age  or  sex,  through  the  whole  extent 
of  the  Persian  empire,  shall  be  sacrificed  to 
the  wrath  of  Haman. 

Who  shall  express  the  tears,  the  lamenta- 
tions, the  outcries  of  this  miserable  and  devot- 
ed people  when  the  fatal  decree  was  promul- 
gated ?  Above  all,  who  shall  attempt  to  paint 
the  grief  of  Mordecai  ?  "  Alas,  am  not  1  the 
sole  cause  of  this  general  calamity  ?  Could  I 
have  imagined  that  the  revenge  of  Haman 
would  have  been  thus  dreadfully  extensive ! 
Had  it  terminated  in  my  blood,  I  had  died 
coBtented— now,  to  have  brought  death  on  so 
many  thousands  of  innocents,  what  sorrow 
equals  mine?  Why  did  I  contest  with  so 
powerful  an  enemy  ?  Why  did  I  not  hide  my- 
self from  the  face  of  that  proud  Amalekite  ? 
Alas,  no  man  of  Israel  will  live  to  curse  me — 
mine  enen^  only  shall  record  my  name  with 
ignominy,  and  say,  Mordecai  was  the  bane  of 
his  people !  0  Lord,  if  my  presumption  hath 
incurred  thy  displeasure,  in  what  have  thy 
captive  tribes  offended?  O,  let  it  be  thy  just 
mercy  that  I  should  perish  alone !" 

Such  thoughts  as  these  were  doubtless  in 
the  breast  of  Mordecai,  while  he  walked  in 
sackcloth'  before  that  palace  whereinto  no  man 
was  suffered  to  enter  in  the  habit  of  a  mourner. 
How  different  are  the  ways  of  God  from  those 
of  man  !  That  which  caused  exclusion  from 
the  court  of  Ahasuerus,  opens  wide  the  portals 
of  heaven.  The  sacrifice  of  God  is  a  broken 
spirit — a  broken  and  a  contrite  heart,  0  Godj 
thou  wilt  not  despise. 

The  public  sorrow  of  Mordecai  cannot  long 
be  concealed  from  Esther.  Her  diadem,  her 
royal  purple,  afforded  her  no  joy  while  the 
friend  she  loves  and  honors  is  sitting  in  sack- 
cloth and  ashes.  With  what  consternation 
does  she  learn  the  cause  of  his  grief  !  HoW 
does  her  heart  faint  within  her  when  she  re- 
ceives the  charge  of  her  kinsman  to  exert  all 
her  power,  all  her  interest  with  the  monarch 
of  Persia  in  behalf  of  her  afllicted  people. 
Alas,  whatever  dares  enter  iuto  the  royal 
presence  uncalled  must  die — nothing  but  tne 
extended  sceptre  can  rescue  the  offender  from 
the  grave.  Esther  could  only  bewail,  she 
could  not  hope  to  avert  the  impending  evil. 

Mordecai  will  not  be  thus  discouraged — 
though  he  mourns,  he  will  not  utterly  despair. 
Again,  he  addresses  the  queen  in  more  animat- 
ed language.  "  What,  is  it  death  thou  fear- 
est  ?  Hast  thuu  anything  but  death  to  ex- 
pect if  thou  avoidest  the  present  danger  ?  Art 
thou  not  of  the  race  of  Israel  ?  If  these  unal- 
terable edicts  exempt  no  individual  of  our  na- 
tion, how  shalt  thou  escape  ?  Wilt  thou  pre- 
fer certain  peril  to  the  possibility  of  hope  ? 
Away  with  this  weak  timidity,  unworthy 
a  queen.  But  if  fear  or  policy  withhold  thine 
aid  from  thy  people,  if  thou  neglect  the  people 
of  God,  God  will  not  neglect  it.    It  shall  not 


be  in  the  power  of  tyrants  to  exterminate  the 
chosen  seed- the  Holy  One  of  Israel  shall 
rather  work  miracles  from  heaven,  than  that 
his  inheritance  shall  perish  on  earth,  or  that 
his  own  prophecy  shall  fail.  Let  me  then  ad- 
jure thee,  by  that  tender  love  which  trained 
up  thine  orphan  infancy— by  those  gratefol 
sentiments  thon  hast  experienced  in  return — 
by  the  name  of  the  God  whom  we  adore — 
that  thou  awaken  thine  holy  courage,  and 
adventure  thy  life  for  thy  people.  Hath  it  not 
p'eased  the  Almighty  to  exalt  thee  to  that 
pre-eminence  of  honor  for  this  very  purpose, 
that  light  may  arisQ.  by  thee  to  sit  in  darkness, 
that  the  remdovof  his  chosen  servants  may 
be  saved  from  thee  from  utter  destruction  ?" 

Mordecai  has  said  enough — his  words  have 
inspired  Esther  with  becoming  intrepidity.  "Go, 
gather  the  Jews  that  are  present  in  Susa,  and 
fast  ye  for  me — I  will  fast  likewise — and  so 
will  I  go  unto  the  king,  which  is  not  accord- 
ing to  the  law  ;  and  if  I  perish,  I  perish." 
Heroic  thoughts  befit  great  actions.  The 
pious  queen  trusts  to  her  devotion  rather 
than  her  beauty.  This  is  the  victory  of  faith 
over  the  world.

"  repent   one     DAT     BErORE    DBATJI." 

It  was  the  saying  of  a  wise  man,  "  Repent 
on.  tbeday  bafbre  thy  death."  Wbicii  is  tbat 
day,  and  who  kuoweth  when  he  shall  die  ? 

A  certain  king  invited  his  servants  to  a 
great  banquet,  but  told  them  not  of  the  hour 
when  i^  should  be  niiadc  ready.  The  wise  ar- 
rayed and  adorned  themselves  ;  for  they  said, 
"  In  the  king's  house  there  is  nothing  lacking  ; 
the  feast  to  which  we  are  called  may  bo  pre- 
pared in  a  moment."  But  the  foolish  servants 
went  their  ways  and  said,  "It  is  yet  time 
enough  ;  and  before  the  cry  is  heard,  we  shall 
have  opportunity  to  make  ready  and  array  our- 
selves." 

On  a  sudden  the  cry  was  made.  Then  they 
that  had  decked  themselves  went  to  the  ban- 
quet, while  the  foolish  were  denied  admittance. 
They  had  robbed  themselves  of  the  houor. 

It  is  said  by  Solomon, "  Let  thy  garments 
be  always  white."  Thy  grave-clothes  are 
white  ;  prepare  thyself  and  clothe  thee  in  them 
every  day.  Be  wise  on  the  day  before  thy 
death. —  Talmud. 

Removal. 

The  Office  of  the  Gleaner  will,  from  the  9th 
instant,  be  removed  to  133  Clay  street,  be- 
tween Leidesdorff  and  Sansome,  opposite  the

A  Card. 

To  the  public  who  wish  to  save  their  natu- 
ral teeth,  or  to  have  new  ones  inserted,  they 
can  safe  fifty  per  cent,  by  employing  Dr.  Bur- 
bank,  as  his  Dental  work  is  superior  to  that  of 
any  other  Dentist  in  the  State,  and  not  sur- 
passed by  any  in  the  world.  It  is  an  absolute 
fact  that  half  the  money  paid  for  dentistry  in 
this  city,  is  money  thrown  away,  especially 
with  those  who  have  teeth  filled.  If  you  wish 
to  SAVE  your  money  and  your  teeth,  employ 
Dr.  Burbauk,  2d  fioor  of  the  Express  Building, 
corner  Montgomery  and  California  streets.

THE    Weekly   oleaner 


JUVENILE. 


Arab'8  hone.  She  obeys  the  helm— she 
cornea  up  by  the  island,  the  sails  drop,  the  an- 
chors plunge  from  her  bow,  »ad  she  pause* 
and  sits  like  a  beautiful  bird  upon  the  waters. 
Do  you  see  ail  this,  sir  ?" 

"  Yes,  yes,  I  see  it  all." 

"  What  makes  the  tear  stand  io  eye,  and 


"  My  child,  attend  to  wisdom  :  incline  thine 
ear  to  undersunding.  Fear  the  Lord,  and  turn 
from  evil,  and  it  will  be  well  with  thee  in  the 
end" 


The  Boy  and  the  Lark. 

"  Who  taught  you  to  sing,  my  pretty  sweet 
birds  ? 
Who  tuned  your  melodious  throats? 
You  make  all  the  woods  and  the  valleys  to 

ring, 
You  bring  the  first  news  of  the  earliest  spring. 
With  your  loud  and  clear  silvery  notes. 

"  Who  painted  your  wings,  my  pretty  sweet 
birds. 
And  taught  you  to  soar  in  the  air  f 
You  rise  and  you  dart  through  the  region  .of 

light. 
You  look  down  on  man  from  your  loftiest 
height, 
And  your  hearts  know  no  troublesome  care. 

"And  where  are    your  fields.,  my  beautiful 
birds? 
And  where  are  your  houses  and  barns? 
You   sow  not  the  ground,  and  you  reap  not 

the  corn, 
You  spring  from  your  nests  at  the  earliest 
morn ; 
But  you  care  not  about  the  wide  farms." 

"  'Tig  God !"  said  a  lark,  that    rose  from  the 
turf, 
"  Who  gives  us  the  good  we  enjoy ; 
He  painted  our  wings,  and  he  gave  us  our 

voice  ; 
He  finds  us  our  food,  and  he  bids  us  rejoice  : 
We're  His  creatures,  my  beautiful  boy." 

Chance. 
What  is  chance  .'    I  have  heard  some  few 
people   talk  about   chance,  as  if  there  were  no 
God,  and  as  if  all  things  were  made  by  chance ! 
It  is  curious  to  know  that  these  people  do  not 
pretend   that  chance  has  done  anything  else, 
except  the  most  wonderful  of  all  things — that 
of  creating  all   things  !    Now  lest,  when  you 
grow  older,  some  thoughtless  man  may  try  to 
make  you  think   that   cfiance    could   do    all 
these  things,  I  want  to  talk  a  little  about  it, 
and  make  it  plain  to  you. 
if  Suppose  I  could  find  one  of  these  wise-feel, 
ing  men,  who  say  there  is  no  God,  on  a  desert 
island,  all  alone.     He  was  cast  away  in  the 
ship  and  left  there  in  a  storm,  when  all  were 
drowned,  except  himself.    He  has  built  him  a 
little  house  of  stones  and  dirt ;  he  sits  at  the 
door  and   looks  off  on  the  waters  as  far  as  the 
eye  can  reach,  and   sees  nothing  but  the  dark- 
blue  sea,  and  fthe  heavens,  and  the  sun  rising 
np  out  of  the  waters  in  the  morning,  and 
again  going  down,  yellow  as  gold,  into  the 
waters  at  evening.    I  say  to  him  : 

. "  Sir,  do  you  see  that  little  white  spot  on 
the  face  of  the  waters,  far  off  to  the  right 
hand?" 
"  Yea,  I  see  it." 

"  Well,  it  is  a  ship.  It  grows  as  we  gaae. 
The  sails  are  spread,  and  it  looks  like  a  ship. 
See !  the  stream-jr  hangs  at  the  mizen-mast, 
the  flag  hangs  over  the  taffrail,  and  the  taper- 
ing masts  ihoot  far  up  towards  the  sky.  She 
bounds  on,  from  wave  to  wave,  fleet  as  the 


'why  does  your  heart  throb  so  ?" 

"  Why,  don't  you  see  that  form  on  the  wa- 
ters—that beautiful  ship  ?" 

"  Yes,  I  am  astonished  at  seeing  what  cliance 
can  do !  Only  see  there !  The  wood  grew 
into  the  shape  of  that  ship  by  chance.  It  fell 
into  the  water  and  floated  away.  The  grass 
and  weeds  around  the  wood  took  the  shape  of 
ropes,  shrouds,  halyards,  and  also  of  sails. 
That  is  not  a  real  ship,  sir,  it  is  only  the  work 
of  chance .'" 

"  Why,"  says  tiiis  believer  in  chance,  "  I 
thought  that  it  was  a  ship,  and  that  men  were 
in  it,  and  that  I  should  go  away  in  it  to  my 
home,  and  leave  ihis  gloomy  island  forever." 

"  0,  no !  sir,  you  are  mistaken.  There  are 
no  marks  of  design  about  that  thing.  It  is 
all  the  work  of  chance.  No  mind  ever 
planned  it."  '• 

"  But  I  see  masts  and  shrouds,  the  bow- 
sprit and  the  yards  I" 

"  Yes,  but  it  is  all  the  work  of  chance .'  It 
grew  so  by  chance .'" 

"  But  I  hear  music,  and  know  those  to  be 
the  tunes  of  my  own  dear  country!" 

"  No !  that  is  the  wind  whistling  through 
the  ropes,  and  by  chance  it  strikes  the  ropes  so 
as  to  give  the  sound  of  the  drum,  the  fife,  and 
the  bugle  ;  and  then  the  wind  changes  a  little, 
and  another  tune  follows.  But  it  is  all  by 
chance.'  Those  flags,  with  stars  and  stripes 
on  them,  are  all  the  work  of  chance  I" 

"  Now,  don't  try  to  make  me  believe  that 
any  longer.  I  know  that  to  be  a  ship  built 
by  men,  rigged  and  managed  by  men,  just  as 
well  as  if  I  had  seen  every  stick  of  her  timbers 
hewed,  and  every  plank  laid.  There  is  no 
chance  about  it  I" 

And  yet,  such  men  pretend  that  men  who 
can  build  the  ship— the  wood  and  iron  of 
which  she  is  built,  the  waters  on  which  she 
sails,  and  the  winds  which  move  her — are  all 
the  work  of  chajice .'  Do  not  even  you  children 
see  how  weak  and  foolish  this  is  ? 

But  suppose  you  go  with  one  of  these  be 
lievers  in  chance,  on  some  pleasant  day.  He 
tells  you  that  he  is  now  going  to  show  yon 
what  charux  oan  do. 

You  follow  him  up  stairs,  into  a  long  and  a 
high  room.  As  you  go  up  the  steps,  he  begins 
to  talk  to  you. 

"  Do  you  see  these  beautiful  stone  steps  ? 
They  were  all  laid  so  by  chance  !  No,  not 
laid  80,  but  happened  to  be  so.  This  long 
room  was  made  by  chance.  The  windows 
happened  so,  and  they  are  very  convenient. 
These  walls,  you  see,  are  all  hung  round  with 
paintings  and  pictures];  no — not  hung  round, 
— for  that  means  design,  but  the  walls  are 
covered  with  colors,  all  thrown  on  by  chance. 
How  beautiful  I  Now  let  me  point  out,  and 
show  you  what  wonders  chance  can  do  I  Do 
ycu  see  that  corner  ?" 

"  Yes,"  yon  say,  "I  see  a  beautiful  likeness 
of  Washington."  ^ 

"  Well,  do  you  see  that  ?" 
"  Yea,  I  see  a  picture  of  Howard  by  the 
side  of  one  of  Penn.  And  along  yonder,  I  see 
the  Presidents  of  the  United  States.  There 
is  a  child  with  a  fawn.  There  is  a  landscape ! 
—there  a  shipwreck  ;  —and  there  ft,  harvest-

"  Paint  all  these  I    Why,  I  tell  you,  nobody.

how, and  so  they  happened  by  chance  to  take 
these  forms,  and  make  these  pictures.  Can 
you  not  believe  this  ?"

believe  this  story." 

Now,  how  can  any  one  ever  pretend,  that 
the  mind  of  man,  which  could  paint  all  these 
things,  and  that  these  things,  which  are  here 
only  copied  in  this  room,  could  be  made  by 
chance  ? 

There  was  a  man,  who  lived  a  great  while 
ago,  whose  name  was  Homer.  He  wrote  sev- 
eral long  poems.  We  have  these  poems  now, 
all  printed  ;  and  to  print  them  correctly,  we 
must  use  more  than  nine  millions  of, letters 
and  characters.  Each  one  of  these  nine  million 
must  be  just  in  its  place,  or  there  is  a  mistake. 
Now,  suppose  you  should  pick  up  these  poems 
in  a  field,  far  away  from  any  house  ;  who  could 
believe  that  chance  printed  and  laid  that  book 
there  ?  No.  And  yet,  all  this  might  be  done 
by  chance,  easier  than  the  world  and  all  things 
in  it,  could  be  made  by  chance. 

The  Arabs  are  great  story-tellers.  They 
tell  about  beautiful  cities  springing  up  in  des- 
erts, or  in  the  caverns  of  the  ocean ;  and 
about  palaces  of  gold  and  silver— beautiful 
beyond  what  can  be  told  ;  but  they  never  pre- 
tend that  they  are  made  by  rhnnrf  •  th^'y  say 
they  are  made  by  fairies,  or  genii,  or  bad 
spirits. 

Suppose  you  were  traveling  through  a  des- 
ert, and  should  all  at  once  come  into  a  beauti- 
ful city,  without  finding  a  single  man,  woman, 
or  child,  in  it.  You  pass  along  the  street  and 
see  a  palace,  a  temple,  [a  court-house,  a  prison, 
long  streets  with  paved  side-walks,  carriages, 
shops,  and  markets,  and  everything  belonging 
to  a  city.  Could  you  doubt  that  it  was  built 
by  somebody  ?  You  could  not  say  that  those 
who  reared  these  buildings  were  white  or  black, 
tall  or  short ;  bat  you  would  say  that  some- 
body must  have  marked  out  these  streets, 
reared  these  buildings,  and  planned  the  whole 
city.  You  could  not  believe  otherwise.— Todd.

Egyptian  Schoola. 

As  everything  in  the  East  is  stationary,  the 
following  sketch  will  give  us  some  idea  of  an 
ancient  Hebrew  School.  The  reader  will  no- 
tice that  the  shaking  at  study,  formerly  in  use 
in  our  Synagogues  and  schools,  is  an  Eastern 
habit.  , 

Schools  are  very  numerous,  not  only  in  the 
metropolis,  but  in  every  large  town  ;  and  there 
is  one  at  least  in  every  considerable  village. 
Almost  every  mosque,  sebeel,  (or  public  foun- 
tain,) and  hhod,  (or  drinking-place  for  cattle,) 
in  the  metropolis  has  a  kootab,  (or  school,) 
attached  to  it,  in  which  children  are  instructed 
at  a  very  trifling  expense ;  the  she^  or  fickee 
(the  master  of  the  school)  receiving  from  the 
parent  of  each  pupil  half  a  piastre,  (about 
five  farthings  of  our  money,)  or  something 
more  or  less,  every  Thursday.  The  master  of 
a  school  attached  to  a  mosque,  or  other 
public  building  in  Cairo,  also  generally  re- 
ceives yearly  a  lurboosh,  a  piece  of  white  mus- 
lin for  a  turban,  a  piece  of  white  linen,  and 
a  pair  of  shoes ;  and  each  boy  receives,  at  the 
same  time,  a  linen  skull-cap,  tour  or  five  cubits 
of  cotton  cloth,  and  perhaps  half  a  j)i(;eo  (ten 
or  twelve  cubits)  of  linen,  and  a  pair  of  shoes, 
and,  in  some  cases,  a  half-piastre  or  piastre. 
These  presents  are  supplied  by  funds  bequeath- 
ed to  the  school,  and  are  given  in  the  month 
Ramadan.  (The  boys  attend  only  during  the 
hours  of  instruction,  and  then  return  to  their 
homes.  The  lessons  are  generally  written 
upon  tablets  of  wood,  painted  white;  and 
when  one  lesson  is  learned,  the  tablet  is  wash- 


ed, and   another  is  written.    They  also  prac- 
tice writing  upon  the  srtine  tablet.  The  school- 
master and  his  pupils  sit  upon  the  ground,  and 
each  boy  has  his  tablet  in  his  hands,  or  a  copy 
of  the  Koran,  or  of  one  of  its  thirty  sections, 
on  a  little  kind  of  desk  of  palm-aticks.  All  who 
arc  learning  to  read  recite  their  lessons  aloud, 
at   the  same   time  rocking  their    heads  and 
bodies    incessantly   backward    and    forward ; 
which  practice    is  obscrvexl  by  almost  all  jier- 
sons  in  reading   the  Koran,  beiiig  thought  to 
osoist  the  memory.    The  noise  may  be  imag- 
ined.    The  boys  first  learn  the  alphabet ;  next, 
the    vowel-points    and  other   orthographical 
marks ;  and  then  the  numerical  value  of  each 
letter  of   the  alphabet.      Previously    to  this 
third  stage  of   the  pupil's  progress,  it   is  cus- 
tomary for  the  master  to  ornament  the  tablet 
with  black  and    red  ink,  and  green  paint,  and 
to  write  upon  it  the  letters  of  the" alphabet  in 
the  order  of  their  re.>peelive  numerical  values, 
and  convey  it  to   the  father,   who    returns  it 
with  a  piuHtrt!  or  two   placed  upon  it.    The 
like  is  also  done  at  several  8ubse(|uent  stages 
of  the  boy',s   progress,  as  when  he  begins  to 
learn  the  K(jr«ri,  ;intl  six  or  seven  times  as  he 
proceeds   in   learning  tiio  sacred   book,  each 
time  the  next  lesson    being   written  on  the 
tablet.     When  he  has  become  acquainted  with 
the  numerical  values  of  the  letters,  the  master 
writes  for  him  .some  simple  words,  as  the  names 
of  men,  then  the  ninety-nine  names  or  epithets 
of  God ;  next  the  fathhah  (or  opening  chapter 
of  the  Koran)  is  written  upon  his  tablet,  and 
ho  leads  it  repeatedly,  until  he  has  completely

Ignorance  of  the  Dark  Ages— Scarcity 
of  Books. 

The  following  facts,  chiefly  extracted  from 
Dr.  Robertson's  History  of  Charles  V.,  will 
show  the  low  state  of  literature,  and  the  deplor- 
able ignorance  that  characterized  the  middle 
ages.  In  the  ninth  century,  Ilerbaud  Comes 
Palatii,  though  supreme  judge  of  the  empire, 
by  virtue  of  his  ofQcc,  could  not  subscribe  his 
name.  As  late  as  the  14th  century,  Uu  Gues- 
clin,  constable  of  France,  the  greatest  man  in 
the  State,  could  neither  read  nor  write.  Nor 
was  this  ignorance  confined  to  laymen, — the 
greater  part  even  of  the  clergy  were  not  many 
degrees  superior  to  them  in  science.  Many 
dignified  ecclesiastics  could  not  subscribe  the 
canons  of  those  councils  of  which  they  sat  as 
members.  One  of  the  questions  appointed  by 
the  canons  to  be  put  to  persons  who  were 
candidates  for  holy  orders,  was  this, "  Whether 
they  could  read  the  Gospels  and  Epistk-s,  and 
explain  the  tenor  of  them,  at  least  literally?" 
Alfred  the  Great  complained,  that  from  the 
Hurober  to  the  Thames,  there  was  not  a  priest 
who  understood  th§.  Uturgy  in  his  mother- 
tongue,  or  who, ^uld  translate  the  easiest 
piece  of  Latin ;  from  the  Thames  to  the  sea, 
the  ecclesiastics  were  still  more  ignorant.  The 
ignorance  of  the  clergy  is  quaintly  described 
by  Alanus,  an  author  of  the  dark  ages  in  the 
following  words  :  "  Potius  dediti  gulaj  quam 
gloBSo;;  potius  colligunt  libras  (juam  legunt 
librofl ;  libentius  intueutcr  Martham  quam 
Marcum  ;  malunt  legere  in  Salmone  quam  in 
Solomone:"  i.  e. ;  They  gave  themnolves  more 
willingly  to  the  pleasures  of  gluttony  than  to 
the  learning  of  languages  ;  they  chose  rather 
to  coHect  money  than  to  read  books ;  they 
looked  upon  Martha  with  a  more  afl'uctionatc 
eye  than  upon  Mark,  and  they  found  more  de- 
light in  reading  in  Salmon  than  in  Solomon. 

One  of  the  causes  of  the  universal  ignorance 
which  prevailed  during  that  periotl,  was  the 
scarcity  of  books,  along  with  their  exorbitant 
price,  and  tlie  difficulty  of  rendering  them 
more  eoramon.  The  Romans  wrote  their 
books  either  on  parchment  or  on  paper  made 
of  the  Egyptian  papyrus.  The  latter  being 
the  cheapest,  was,  of  course,  the  most  com- 
monly used.  But,  after  the  communication 
between  Europe  and  Egypt  was  broken  off, 
on  account  of  the  latter  having  been  seized 
upon  by  the  Saracens,  the  papyrus  was  no 
longer  in  use  in  Italy  iind  other  European 
countries.  They  were  obliged,  on  that  ac- 
count, to  write  all  their  bo(  ks  npnn  parch- 
ment, and  as  its  price  w.-m  lii^li,  hooks  became 
extremely  rare,  uml  of  great,  value.  We  may 
judge  of  the  scarcity  of  the  materials  for 
writing  them  frou>  one  circumstance.  There 
still  remain  several  inanuserii)ta  of  the  eighth, 
ninth,  and  following  centuries,  written  on 
parchment,  from  which  some  former  writing

had  been  erased,  in  order  to  substitute  a  new 
composition  in  its  place.  In  this  manner,  it  is 
probable,  several  works  of  the  ancients  perish- 
ed. A  book  of  Livy,  or  of  Tacitus,  might  be 
erased,  to  make  room  for  the  legendary  tale  of 
a  saint,  or  the  superstitious  prayers  of  a  mis- 
sal. Many  circumstances  prove  the  scarcity 
of  books  during  these  ages.  Private  persons 
seldom  possessed  any  books  whatever.  Kven 
monasteries  of  considerable  note  had  only  one 
missal.  Lupus,  abbot  of  Ferriers,  in  a  letter 
to  the  Pope,  A.  D.  855,  beseeches  him  to  send 
him  a  copy  of  Cicero  "  De  Oratore,"  and  Quin- 
tilian's  "  Institutions,"  "  for,"  says  he,  "  al- 
though we  have  part  of  these  books,  there  is 
no  complete  copy  of  them  in  all  France."  The 
price  of  books  became  so  high,  that  persons  of 
a  laoderute  fortune  could  not  afford  to  purchase 
them.  The  Countess  of  Anjou  paid  for  a 
copy  of  the  Homilies  of  Haimon,  Bishop  of  Al- 
bertstadt,  two]  hundred  sheep,  five  quarters  of 
wheat,  aud  the  same  quantity  of  rye  and  millet. 
Even  so  late  as  the  year  1471,  when  Louis  XI. 
borrowed  the  works  of  Bacis,  the  Arabian 
physician,  from  the  faculty  of  medicine  in 
Paris,  be  not  only  deposited  m  pledge  a  con- 
siderable quantity  of  plate,  but  was  obliged 
to  procure  a  nobleman  to  join  with  him  as 
surety  in  a  deed,  binding  l^msulf  under  a  great 
forfeiture  to  restore  it.  When  any  person 
made  a  present  of  a  book  to  a  church  or  mon- 
astery, in  which  were  the  only  libraries  during 
several  ages,  it  was  deemed  a  donative  of  such 
value,  that  he  offered  it  on  the  altar  pro  rente- 
dio  animcc  siuc,  in  order  to  obtain,  forgiveness 
of  his  sins.  In  the  eleventh  century,  the  art 
of  making  paper,  in  the  manner  now  become 
almost  universal,  was  invented  ;  by  means  of 
which,  not  only  the  number  of  manuscripts  in- 
creased, but  the  study  of  the  scieuces  was  won- 
derfully facilitated.— D(c&. 


Sin  an  Avtrful  Witness  to  Eternity. 

"  The  stone  will  cry  out  of  the  wall ;  and  tbo 
beam  out  of  the  wood  will  witness  it."— Ilabak. 
ii.ll. 

The  following  remarkable  case  of  clairvoy- 
ance teaches  an  awful  lesson,  and  we  hope  will 
not  be  read  without  improving  effect.  It 
teaches  that,  as  our  good  deeds  will  precede 
us,  (Isai.  lviii.8)  so  will  sin  follow  us.  0,  what 
an  awful  companion  and  witness  ! 

The  following  strange  fact  is  transcribed 
from  Major  Buckley's  Note-Book.  B.  denotes 
the  patient,  M.  the  magnetiser  Mr.  B.  the 
patient,  was  a  young  ofBcer,  whom  Major  Buck- 
ley magnetised  for  his  health,  and  who  b<?came 
lucid  on  the  first  occasion.  He  almost  instant- 
ly acquired  the  power  of  visiting  distant  pla- 


ces, and  of  reading  through  opaque  bodies. 
He  used  also  to  go  into  a  deeper  state,  which 
he  liked,  probably  because  he  had,  in  that 
state,  very  vivid  and  agreeable  visions.  On 
the  15th  of  Nov.  1845,  Major  Buckley,  at  his 
request,  allowed  him  to  go  into  that  deeper 
state  for  about  ten  minutes,  after  which  he 
awoke,  so  to  speak,  into  his  usual  clairvoyant

his  magnetiser.     His  first  remark  was  : 

B.  I  have  had  a  strange  dream  about  your 
ring — (a  medallion  of  Anthony  and  Cleopatra.) 
It  is  valuable. 

M.  Yes  ;  it  is  worth  sixty  guineas. 

B.  0  it  is  worth  a  great  deal  more ! 

Placing  the  ring  in  his  hand,  Major  B.  said, 
"  Can  you  telT  me  its  history." 

B.  0  now  I  see  it  all  again.  If  what  I 
say  be  true  it  is  very  valuable.  It  has  belonged 
to  royalty. 

M.  In  what  country? 

B.  I  see  Mary  Queen  of  Scots.  It  was 
given  to  her  by  a  man,  a  foreigner,  with  other 
things  from  Italy.  It  came  from  Naples.  It 
is  not  the  same  gold,  that  is,  the  setting  is  not 
the  same  that  it  once  had.  bhe  wore  it  once. 
The  person  who  gave  it  to  her  was  a  musi- 
cian. 

M.  Can  you  tell  me  his  name  ? 

B.  It  begins  with  an  K.  O  I  see  his  sig- 
nature? After  the  R  there  is  an  I,  then  there 
is  a  letter  which  looks  like  Z,  then  another  Z^ 
then  an  I,  then  there  is  something  which  looks 
like  an  E,  with  a  curious  flourish  over  it.  I 
can  write  it.  (He  went  to  a  table,  and  wrote 
the  name,  then  added,)  There  is  something 
more.    All  this  is  secret. 

He  then  wrote  at  long  intervals,  until  the 
paper  marked  1 .  was  finished.  Once,  when  I 
looked  over  his  shoulder,  he  said  I  had  caused 
him  to  make  a  mistake.  It  was  while  he  was 
writing  to  the  left  of  the  signature  marked  2. 

B.  The  writing,  (that  which  be  saw  and  was 
copying,)  is  on  vellum.  Here,  (pointing  to 
the  middle)  I  see  a  diamond  cross ;  the  small- 
est diamond  ia  larger  than  this  (pointing  to 
one  of  about  four  carats).  It  was  worn,  out 
of  sight,  by  Mary.  The  vellum  has  been 
shown  in  the  lluuse  of  Lords ;  not  the  cross. 
They  were  afterwards  placed  where  1  now  see 
them,  in  the  wall  of  a  stone  building,  erected 
before  the  reign  of  Elizabeth.  It  is  now  in 
ruins,  and  used  as  a  farm-house. 

M.  Who  are  living  in  it  ? 

B.  Only  an  old  man.  It  is  a  pjace  of  con- 
cealment in  the  wall, opened  by  an  iron  spring. 
O,  I  see  how  to  open  it !  You  push  in  a  small 
stone  near  it.  There  are  many  valuable 
things  there.     Nobody  knows  of  them    but 


myself.    The  ring  was  taken  off  Mary's  fUiger 
by  a  man. 

M.  Did  he  steal  it  ? 

B.  No ;  he  took  it  off  in  a  fit  of  anger  and 
jealousy,  aud  threw  it  into  the  water.  When 
he  took  it  off,  she  was  being  carried  in  a  kind  of 
bed,  with  curtains,  (a  litter.)  I  now  see  the 
man  who  gave  her  the  ring  ;  he  is  in  a  room. 
I  ee<?  mnny  more  men.  There  is  a  secret  door. 
I  see  a  man  with  a  dagger.  (Here  he  shudder- 
ed very  much  ;  and  added, )  They  have  mur- 
dered him.  There  is  a  gash  here,  (pointing  to 
his  throat.)  Oh,  Mary  is  screaming  dreadfuUyi 
That  man,  (probably  the  one  who  took  away 
the  ring— W.  O.  has  seized  her  by  the  hair. 
(Here  he  was  very  much  agitated.) 

M.  Don't  think  any  more  about  it. 

B.  (after  a  pause,)  I  am  looking  back  300 
years. 

M.  Where  are  you  ? 

B.  In  Scotland. 

He  was  again  niagnetised,  three  weeks  after- 
wards. On  placing  the  ring  in  his  hand,  he 
said  : 

B.  You  thought  I  would  forget  about  the 
ring? 

M.  No,  but  I  wish  you  to  show  mo  where 
you  made  a  mistake  in  copying  this.  (Pro- 
ducing the  paper  marked  No.  1.) 

B.  It  was  here. 

He  then  re-wrote  the  words  marked,  separ- 
ately, 3,  adding  the  letters  PAR*  after  the 
word  AMEZ  t)  Between  PAR  and  VOUSJ 
some  letters  are  covered  with  something  green 
aud  wet.  (He  dotted  round  the  spot  of  gold 
marked  4.)  I  see  some  letters  on  the  cross. 
There  is  an  M,  an  S,  then  a  small  word  ;  then 
a  large  R.  The  ornaments  on  the  corners  of 
the  vellum  are  in  gold. 

Major  B.  did  not  inquire  what  they  repre- 
sented. Those  on  the  right  of  the  signature 
resemble  the  thistle,  those  on  the  left  the  flow- 
ers. Major  Buckley  appended  to  his  letter  a 
rough  copy  of  the  drawing  or  copy  made  by 
Mr.  B.  from  the  vellum  he  saw  in  his  vision  ; 
to  this  sketch  the  numbers  refer.  It  represents 
an  oblong  sheet,  apparently  of  small  size,  in 
the  copy  sent  to  me,  about  5  inches  by  2%. 

1.  The  signature.  2.  The  words  on  the  left, 
as  first  written.  The  second  copy  he  made  of 
these  words,  adding  PAR,  is  given  at  the  foot, 
No.  3.  No.  4  is  the  spot  of  mould,  concealing 
some  letters.  The  sentence  most  probably 
runs  thus, "  Vons  amez  (aimez)  parceque  vous 
etes  bonne.  "§    I  do  not  know  whether  Mr.  B.

T-HE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


»w  only  a  small  bit  of  vellum,  like  that  here 
sketched,  or  wheti.er  he  saw  only  the  end  of  a 
larger  portion,  to  which  the  signatate  was  at- 
tached. It  would  appear  that  Mr.  B.  saw  the 
writing  80  distinctly  as  to  be  able  to  copy  it, 
but  the  sketch  here  given  only  gives  a  general 

idea  of  the  stjleofit 

I   regard  this  vision  as  a  moat  remarkable 
one,  because  it  was  quite  spontaneous,  and 
nothing  was  known,  even  to  Major  Buckley, 
of  the  history  of  his  ring,  except  that  his  fa- 
ther, in  1829,  had  had  it  for  sixty  years,  having 
purchased  it  at  the  sale  of  the  effects  of  a  gen- 
tleman.    The  ideas  in  the  vision,  therefore, 
could  not  have  been  suggested  by  Major  B., 
Dor  read  in  his  thoughts.  Then  the  very  minute 
detail  of  the  writing,  and  the  intense  agitation 
of  the  sleeper^on  seeing,  acted   before  him,  the 
murder  of  Rizzio,  tend  to  show  that  the  vision 
was  at  all  events  genuine.    As  to  its  accuracy, 
little  can  now  be  said  ;   but  it  is  conceivable 
that,  if  properly   tried,  the  clairvoyant  might 
be  able  to  discover  the  place  where  the  vellum 
lies.    If  Rizzio  ever  presented  Mary  with  a 
ring,  or  cross,  (although  so  very  valuable  a 
present  as  the  diamond  cross  is  more  likely  to 
have  been  from  the  Pope  through  Rizzio,)  ac- 
companied by  such  a  manuscript,  it  is  probable 
enough,  that  it  (the  MS.)  may  have  been  pro- 
duced against  her  by  her  enemies,  in  the  House 
of  Lords  or  Privy   Council  of  Scotland,  nay 
possibly  even  in  England,  and  afterwards  coo- 
xeaied.    Unfortunately  Major  Buckley  has  "not 
been  able,  on  account  of  Mr.  B.'s  absence  from 
England,  to  magnetise  him  again.       Other 
clairvoyants  have  been  tried  with  the  ring,  and 
have,  without  the    least  knowledge  of  each 
other,  or  of  what  had  been  said,  corroborated 
the  main  facts  about  the  ring.    This,  as  Major 
Buckley  was  the  operator,  might  possibly  de- 
pend on  thought-reading,  since  he  now  had 
those  ideas  :  but  it  would  appear  that  this  was 
not  the  case,  as  they  have  added  new  details  of 
the  history  of  the  ring.

Shasta,  March  2,  '57. 

Editor  of  Gleaner— Rbv.  Sib  :— Know- 
ing the  pleasure  you  feel  in  any  information 
concerning  all  matters  appertaining  to  the  He- 
brew faith  in  this  State,  I  do  myself  the 
pleasure  of  informing  you  that  the  Israelites  of 
this  place  met  on  the  15th  ult.  for  the  purpose 
of  forming  a  society,  the  object  of  which  is  to 
assist  each  other  in  case  of  sickness,  and  to 
bury  in  accordance  with  the  Jewish  faith  any 
Jew  dying  in  our  midst. 

A  committee  was  thereupon  appointed  to 
draft  a  constitution  for  the  guidance  of  said 
society. 

On  the  1st  inst.  a  meeting  was  again  called, 
when  the  society  was  regularly  organized  un- 
der the  name  of  the  Hebrew  Indigent  Sick  and 
Burial  Society,  after  w»iich  the  constitution 
was  read  and  accepted,  as  drafted  by  the  com- 
mittee, and  a  vote  of  thanks  passed  on  the 
committee,which  consisted  of  Messrs.  E.Lewin, 
Q-.  Wiener  and  J.  Meudel,  for  their  able  per- 
formance in  drafting  said  constitution.  After

Berlin. — The  reform  question  in  Berlin  is 
in  statu  quo.  The  reforms  introduced  into  the 
Synagogue  of  Rev.  Dr.  Sachs  are  there  yet, 
notwithstanding  the  protest  of  the  conserva- 
tives. 

Breslau. — The  city  of  Breslan  is  now  the 
seat  of  Jewish  learning,  and  it  promises  fair  to 
excel  all  other  cities  of  Europe  in  this  branch 
of  learning.  "  But  we  are  handcuffed  and  ban. 
daged,"  says  onr  friend  ;  "on  one  side  stand 
the  government  and  the  church,  watching  over 
our  very  words,  that  we  endanger  not  the  ex- 
crescences of  the  popular  creed,  while  on  the 
other  side  the  conservatives  look  on  us  with 
suspicion,  and  reformers  with  fear. 

Austria. — In  the  two  temples  of  Vienna, 
Sulzer,  father  and  son,  are  the  officiating  Haz- 
anim,  Ni  Manheim  and  Dr.  Jellinec  are  the 
Preachers. 

Prague. — The  conislodation  of  the  different 
legacies  to  one  fund,  for  the  purpose  of  estab- 
lishing a  Rabbinical  College  in  Prague,  ap- 
proaches now  its  realization.  The  sundry 
funds  amount  to  nearly  one  million  and  a  half 
of  Austrian  guilders,  the  interest  of  which  is 
squandered  to  the  teachers  of  the  Beth  Hami- 
drasht'who  have  not  one  pupil  to  instruct,  to 
Shior  and  Tbillim  readers,  and  other  useless 
persons.  It  depends  now  merely  on  the  op- 
tion of  the  government,  whether  or  not  this 
plan  should  be  carried  into  effect.  An  unusual 
number  of  Jewish  students  are  at  present  in 
that  city,  attending  the  different  seats  of  learn- 
ing. 

Trieste.— The  new  Rabbi  of  Trieste  pro- 
posed several  reforms  which  proved  accepta- 
ble to  the  officers  of  the  congregation,  but  ob- 
noxious to  a  large  portion  of  the  people.  The 
Rabbi  laid  his  reform  scheme  before  the,facnlty 
of  Padua,  Italy,  and  promises  to  abide  by  their 
decision. 

Frankfort. — It  is  rumored  in  Frankfort, 
that  the  deputations  of  the  New  York  Beth 
Hamidrash,  and  Berlin  Shass  Ilebra,  are  in 
.this  city,  to  offer  to  Rabbi  Hirsch  their  assist- 
▼  ance  and  co-operation  in  his  task.  But  it  is 
believed  the  polished  and  gentlemanly  Rabbi 
does  not  care  to  have  such  company.  It  is 
supposed  that  the  Doctors  Hirsch,  Lubshitz 
and  Lehman  will  form  a  triumverate,in  defence 
of  conservatism  in  Germany,  and  appoint  the 
chief  of  the  N.  Y.  Beth  Hamidrash  their 
American  cluirge  d'affairs. 

Russian  Traveling. — To  give  you  some 
idea  of  the  cold  of  Russia,  when  I  left  St.  Pe- 
tersburg, on  the  2d  of  December, — and  it  was 
about  as  cold  in  Moscow,  on  the  7th  of  Novem- 
ber,— permit  me  to  8tate,that,  after  putting  on 
three  pairs  of  socks,  and  a  pair  of  felt  boots, 
two  pairs  of  drawers,  and  a  very  thick  pair  of 
pants,  three  shirts,  aud  two  thick  coats,  with  a 
sheepskin  coat,  which  was  lined  with  lambskin, 
having  the  wool  on,  and  taking  with  me  a  good 
shawl,  friends  who  knew  what  it  was  to  en- 
counter a  Russian  winter,  would  not  consent  for 
me  to  undertake  the  journey,  till  another  over- 
coat,or"shube"  of  cloth,  lined  through  with  fur, 
was  procured.  Thus  equipped,  three  of  us  took 
our  places  in  a  "  kibitks,"  which  we  had  pur- 
chased for  the  purpose,  and  started  for  ttie 
frontier,  which  we  reached  after  five  days  and 
five  nights,  during  which,  we  neither  stopped 
to  wash,  dress,  or  sleep.  We  exchanged  horses 
and  drivers  about  forty  times. — Cor.  Puritan 
Recorder. 


DOMESTIC  ECONOMY. 


Fires. 

Cautions. — Sweep  your  chimneys  Vegularly ; 
sweep  frequently  the  lower  part  of  the  chim- 
ney within  reach  ;  the  kitchen  chimney  should 

CiRBS  IN  Chimneys. — ^When  a  chimney  or 
flue  is  on  fire,  throw  into  the  fire-place  hand- 
fuls  of  flour  of  sulphur,  which  will  destroy  the 
flame.  Or,  apply  a  wet  blanket,  or  old  carpet, 
to  the  throat  of  the  chimney,  or  over  the  front 
of  the  fire-place.  A  chimney-board,  or  regis- 
ter flap,  will  tfi/m«t  the  same  purpose,  by  stop- 
ping the  airlVbm  below. 

Beware  of  lights  near  combustibles;  of 
children  near  fires  and  lights  ;  and  do  not  trust 
them  with  candles.  Do  not  leave  clothes  to 
dry  by  the  fire  unwatched,  either  day  or  night ; 
do  not  leave  the  poker  in  the  fire  ;  see  that  all 
be  safe  before  you  retire  to  rest. 

Persons  in  DAMaxR. — When  a  fire  happens, 
put  it  out  in  its  earliest  stage  ;  if  suffered  to 
extend  itself,  give  the  alarm.  Beware  of  open- 
ing doors,  &c.,  to  increase  the  fires  by  fresh 
air.  Muster  the  whole  family,  see  that  none 
are  missing.  First  save  lives,  then  property. 
Think  of  the  ways  of  escape  ;  by  the  stairs,  if 
nd  better  way — creep  along  the  room  where 
the  fire  is,  and  creep  down  stairs  backwards  on 
hands  and  knees  ;  come  down  stairs  with  a  pil- 
low before  your  face,  and  a  wet  blanket  around 
the  body,  and  hold  your  breath  ;  or  try  the 
roof  of  the  adjoining  house.  Throw  out  of 
i}sfo  window  a  feather  bed,  to  leap  upon  in  the 
last  extremity — fasten  fire-escapes  to  the  bed- 
posts first — send  children  down  by  the  sack 
fastened  to  a  rope,  taking  care  of  iron  spikes 
and  area ;  then  lower  yourselves. 

Means  of  Extinction. — The  safety  of  the 
inmates  being  ascertained,  the  first  object  at  a 
fire  should  be  the  exclusion  of  all  fresh  and  the 
confinement  of  all  burnt  air — suffocate  the 
flames — and  remember  that  burnt  air  is  as 
great,  if  not  a  greater  enemy  to  fire  than  wa- 
ter. For  both  purposes,  of  excluding  the  one 
air,  and  confining  the  other,  all  openings  should 
be  kept  as  carefully  closed  as  possible.  The 
prevailing  practice  of  breaking  windows  is 
peculiarly  mischievous.  The  only  excuse  for 
this  is  the  admission  of  water ;  but  if  the  fire- 
men were  provided  with  self-supporting  lad- 
ders, they  might  direct  the  water-hose  through 
a  single  broken  pane,  with  ten  times  more  ac- 
curacy than  their  random  squirting  firom  the 
street.  Water  should  be  made  to  beat  out  the 
fire  by  its  impetus  ;  sprinkling  is  useless. 

Cream  Preserved  on  IjOng  Voyages. — 
Mix  with  a  quantity  of  fresh  rich  cream  half 
its  weight  of  white  sugar  in  powder ;  stir  the 
whole  well  together,  and  preserve  it  in  bottles 
well  corked.  In  this  state  it  is  ready  to  mix 
with  tea  or  coffee,  and  has  continued  in  good 
condition  during  the  voyage  across  the  At- 
lantic. 

Easy  Method  of  Pbeservino  Animal 
Food. — Fresh  meat  may  be  kept  for  nine  or 
ten  days  perfectly  sweet  and  good,  in  the  heat 
of  summer,  by  lightly  covering  the  same  with 
bran,  and  hanging  it  in  a  high  and  windy 
room  ;  a  cupboard  full  of  small  holes,  or  a 
wire  safe,  is  recommended  to  be  placed  iq 
such  a  room,  to  keep  away  the  flies.

Hebrew  Customs. 

6YMAU0>JAL. 

It  was  the  custom  in  all  Jewish  communities 
from  the  most  early  times,  and  continues  to  be 
80  in  the  old  world,  to  attend  Synagogues  at 
leaat  tiwice  a  day,  morning  and  evening  ;  on 
which  occasion  the  Shackritk,  morning  prayer, 
(for  which  see  our  Liturgy,)  is  read  after 
daybreak,  and  the  MinchaJi,  vespef  prayer^ 
and  the  Ma"  rib,  evening  or  night  prayer,  ia 
the  evening. 

The  more  strict  Jews  are  even  more  devout 
and  go  beyond  this  ;  they  assemble  before  day- 
light to  recite  the  sfwmer  labboker,  watching 
(waiting)  for  the  morning  ;  the  idea  is  humbly 
to  pay  adoration  to  the  Creator,  blessed  be  Jle 
before  the  sua  in  his  glory  makes  his  appear- 
ance to  pay  obeisance  to  His  will !  and  tbey 
again  meet  after  sunset  and  read  the  Ma  "rib 
btztnanak,  the  evening  prayer,  iu  its  season, 
viz  :  after  night-fall,  appointing  thus  four  times 
a  day  for  public  prayer. 

However,  as  the  time  between  the  Minchah, 
vespers,  which  usually  is  read  immediately  be- 
fore, and  the  Ma^rib  which  is  recited  immedi- 
ately after  sunset,  is  but  short,  (lasting  about 
an  hour,)  the  people  do  not  leave,  between  the 
two  services,  but  fill  up  the  space  by  lectures 
which  are  delivered  to  them  according  to  their 
capacities  ;  to  the  unlearned  by  a  man  who  is 
able  to  read  and  expound  to  them  some 
moral  practical  work,  in  which  our  literature 
abounds  ;  and  the  more  learned  generally  have 
acme  portion,  of  the  Magca  JhraluuOj  (shield 
of  Abraham,)  a  code  treating  on  ceremonies 
to  be  observed  during  the  whole  year,  read  to 
them. 

However,  it  must  be  observed  that  the 
Lamdanim,  the  learned,  rarely  attend  the 
s/iumer  labboker,  and  the  most  illustrious  Rab- 
bis usually  preferred  to  pay  their  devotions, 
not  in  the  public  Synagogue,  (except  when 
their  office  called  them,)  but  either  with  a 
Minyan,  (ten  male  adults  above  the  age  of 
thirteen,)  at  home  or  quite  by  themselves,  in 
their  beth  hammidrask,  (study ,)thioking  it  bet- 
ter not  to  interrupt  their  studies  by  going  to 
and  returning  from  the  Synagogue,  and  staying 
there  during  long  recitations.  But,  say  the 
Rabbis,  do  not  tell  it  to  the  ignorant,  they 
cannot  understand  the  correctness  of  this 
course. 

We  thus  know  of  eminent  Rabbis  who  even 
on  the  day  of  atonement  would  rather  oiler 
their  devotions  privately  in  iheir  studies,  than 
stay  all  the  day  at  the  Synagogue. 

As  before  modern  inventions  had  introduced 
watches  and  clocks,  men  might  easily,  from 
want  of  kuowedge  of  the  time,  miss  the  hour 
for  prayer,  it  was  the  custom  for  the  beadle,  in 
the  week  ^ays,  to  go  from  door  to  door,  and 
repeat  three  raps  at  every  house  inhabited  by 
Jews,  which  would  tell  them  that  the  time 
for  assembling  was  near  at  hand.  In  case  of 
death  in  a  congregation  it  was  usually  brought 
to  the  knowledge  of  the  people  by  giving  but 
two  raps. 

Thus  a  kind  of  mallet  did  that  service  to 
the  Synagogues  which  the  bells  performed  for 
the  Church. 

However,  as  the  mallet  or  rapper  was  not 
to  be  used  on  Sabbath  and  Holy-days,  the 
beadle  used  his  voice  on  those  days  ;  he  would 
go  through  the  streets  inhabited  by  our  people 
and  pr3claim  with  a  loud  voice  that  the  time  for 
prayers  had  orrived. ' 

We  come  now  to  the  proper  object  of  this 
article,  which  we  headed  "  Rabbi  Joseph  Hat- 
zaddik."  (Ual)bi  Joseph, the  Righteous,  this 
was  the  cognomen  given  him  by  his  age.) 

This  pious  men  was  Rabbi  in  the  c^ty  of  Po- 
sen  about  the  middle  of  the  last  century.    The 


office  of  ^u)ol  Klopfer,  (rapping  at  Synagogues,) 
was  vacant  iu  the  congregation.  The  greater 
number  of  our  readeas  will  know  that  this  of- 
fice was  but  a  very  humble  one ;  if,  however, 
it  so  happened  that  a  very  respectable,  but,  at 
the  same  time,  very  needy  Lamdan,  (learned 
man,)  saw  himself  compelled  to  apply  for  and 
accept  the  office.  The  picas  Rabbi,r^rretting 
that  hard  times  imposed  on  a  man,  who  ought 
to  have  been  better  employed,  a  hard  task, 
gave  an  example  of  delicacy  of  feeling  and 
humility,  which  we  thought  worthy  a  record 
hero.  The  Rabbi  of  Posen— in  an  age  that 
had  not  yet  thrown  off  all  the  feeling  of  respect 
for  the  law  and  its  repositories— the  Rabbi  Of 
Posen  himself,  in  order  to  relieve  the  poor  man 
of  the  unpleasant  feeling  which  he  otherwise 
would  have  experienced  more  keenly— went 
daily  for  a  whole  week  with  the  humble  func- 
tionary to  perform  the  office  of  Sliool  Klopfer. 
Here  is  an  example  of  delicacy,  humanity,  and 
humility,  which  only  true  religion  can  afford. 

Worldliness  puffs  up,  makes  men  ambitious 
of  rule  ;  the  uuregenerated  will  make  their  fel- 
low men  feel  the  burthen  of  servitude,  while 
religion  moulds  the  human  heart  into  sympathy 
with  a  suffering  fellow-beiug,  and  makes  us 
feel  pity  for  a  brother  whom  circumstances 
or  our  neglect  have  pressed  down  into  the  low- 
er walks  of  life.  Religion  sees  in  every  human 
being  a  brother,  and  will  endeavor  to  make 
him  an  equal;  while  the  ungodly  .having  no  God 
want  to  be  themselves  the  Gods  of  the  world. 
xMt*,  tttno,  uaviiig  iiciincr  tovt?  nor  mercy  witti* 
io  them,  earth  has  to  groan  under  them. 

May  the  beautiful  rule  of  the  Rabbis  be  our 
guide.  They  tell  us,  "  Be  humble  to  thy  su- 
perior and  affable  to  thy  inferior" — be  exceed- 
ingly humble  before]  all  men*  for  the  end  of 
man  is — worms. 

Here  we  will  add  a  few  excellent  rules  of 
the  pious  Wesley: 

"  Do  not  affect  the  gentleman.  You  have 
no  more  to  do  with  this  character  than  with 
that  of  a  dancing  master.  A  preacher  should 
be  tJie  servant  of  all." 

"  Be  ashamed  of  nothing  but  sin  :  not  of  fetch- 
ing wood  or  drawing  water,  if  time  permit  : 
nor  of  cleaning  your  own  shoes,  nor  tkou  of 
your  neighbor." 

O,  how  sweet  is  thy  voice,  0  religion  !  but 
bow  oppressive  the  mighty  and  weighty  Cain- 
like hand  of  the  worldly  man.  How  sensibly 
do  we  realize  the  entreaty  of  a  persecuted 
Singer  of  Israel,  of  whom  we  read,  "  And  Da- 
said  said  unto  God,  I  am  greatly  distressed  ; 
but  I  pray  thee  let  us  fall  into  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  ;  for  his  mercies  are  great,  but  let  me  not 
fall  into  the  hand  of  man." 


The  Table  of    Showbread ; 

OR, 
''  The  Table  of  Solomon,  Son  of  David." 

[CONTINUKD .] 

The  twelve  loaves  were  also  a  constant  re- 
cord against  them,  and  served  as  a  standing 
testimonial  that  their  proper  place  was  before 
the  forsaken  altar  of  the  l^ord. 

The  loaves  were  placed  in  two  piles,  one 
above  another,  and  were  changed  every  Sab- 
bath day  by  the  priests.  The  frankincense 
that  had  stood  on  the  bread  durins  the  week 
was  then  burnt  as  an  oblation,  and  the  remov- 
ed bread  became,  the  property  of  the  priests, 
who,  as  God's  servants,  had  a  right  to  eat  of 
the  bread  that  came  from  his  table ;  but  they 
were  obliged  to  eat  in  the  holy  place,  and  no- 
where else.  No  others  might  lawfully  eat  of 
it ;  but  in  a  case  of  extreme  emergency,  the 
priest  incurred  no  blame  if  ho  imparted  it  to 
persons  who  were  in  a  state  of  ceremonial  pur- 
ity, as  in  the  instance  of  David  and  his  men 


(1  Sam.  xxi.  4^6  ;)  the  bread  was  called  "^ack- 
am  happemim"  'the  bread  of  the  face,'  or  'of 
the  presence,'  because  it  was  set  forth  befor4 
the  face  or  in  the  presence  of  God  in  his  hoi/ 
place.  This  is  translated  'show-foreud.'  It  it 
also  called  "  lacham  hammaarachaa,"  the  'bread' 
arranged  in  order,'  and  "  lacham  Ihatnid,"  'the 
perpetual  bread,'  because  it  wm  nerer  absent 
from  the  table  (Lev.  xziT.6.  7;  1  Ohron.  xxiiK 
29.) 

Wine  also  was  placed  upon  the  table  of 
'show-bread,'  in  bowls,  some  large,  "  kaarotk," 
(from  'kaar'  to  be  deep,)  'deep  bowls,'  charg- 
ers, and  some  smaller,  "  cappoth,"  pane,  dishes, 
censers,  also  in  vessels  that  were  covered, 
"kass(Ui"  and  "kasvah,"  Latin  cassis,  and  in  cup«, 
"  meruikkeyoth,"  which  were  probably  employ- 
ed in  pouriag  in  and  taking  oat  the  wine  from 
the  other  vessels,  or  in  making  libations.  Ge- 
senius  calls  them  '  patera;  libatriw  ;  and  they 
appear  in  the  Authorized  Version  as  "spoons" 
(See  generally  Exod.  xxv.  29.  30 ;  xxxvii.  10, 
16  ;  xl.  4,  24  ;  Lev.  xxiv.  5-9 ;  Num.  iv.  7). 

The  Hand  of  God ; 

OK. 

Fesble  Means  for  Gr«at    Knda. 

[CONTINUBD     FROM      PAOB    60.] 

The  time  devoted  to  prayer  and  abstinence 
is  expired — Esther,  arrayed  in  royal  apparel, 
meekly  submitting  herself  to  the  will  of 
Heaven,  advances  to  the  throne  of  Ahasuerns. 
In  her  look,  in  her  demeanor,  courage  seems 
blended  with  diffidence.  As  if  she  said,  "  It  is 
necessity,  not  disobedience,  that  leads  me  to 
this  bold  approach — acoording  to  thy  will,  O 
king,  I  live  or  die — I  am  prepared  for  either 
alternative." 

The  unexpected  presence  of  Esther,  her 
beauty,  her  magoanimlty  at  onee  delight  her 
lord  and  excite  pity  io  bis  breast.  Love 
hastens  to  banish  fear.  The  king  held  out  to 
Esther  the  sceptre  that  was  in  bis  band. 
Withoi^  this  act  of  clemency  bar  life  bad 
been  forfeited.  Tha  Persiaa  monarebs  affected 
to  conceal  themselves  in  stern  rstiremsut  from 
the  eyes  of  their  subjects.  It  was  death  to 
solicit  them  uncalled. 

The  royal  suppliant  is  not  oily  reoeired 
with  pardon,  but  cheered  with  words  of  more 
than  common  benignity.  "  What  wilt  thoa, 
queen  Esther,  and  what  is  thy  request  7  It 
shall  be  given  thee,  even  to  the  half  the  king- 
dom." How  is  the  mercy  of  God  magnified 
in  times  of  extraordinary  difficulty  and  dan- 
ger !  She  who  had  trembled  at  the  austerity 
of  Ahasuerus,  is  now  amszad  at  his  munifi- 
cence. Surely  the  king's  heart  is  in  the  hands 
of  the  Lord,  as  the  rivers  of  water — He  turn- 
eth  it  whithersoever  he  will. 

The  wise  queen  thinks  it  not  good  to  make 
her  request  too  suddenly.  Well  aware  of  the 
importance  of  her  suit,  she  desires  to  prepare 
the  mind  of  Ahasuerus  for  its  reception.  The 
king  and  Haman  are  callsd  to  the  banquet. — 
Again  is  fi^sther  solicited  to  unfold  the  obje<it 
of  her  wishes— again  she  hesitates,  as  fWaring 
to  speak — anotbsr  banquet,  on  the  ensuing  day, 
shall  give  utterance  to  the  parposes  of  her 
heart — the  haughty  favorite  is  onoe  mora  in- 
vited ta  the  royal  paviliaa.  ^ 

But  still  Mordasai  is  aa  alloy  to  his  happi- 
ness— no  edict  of  death  ean  bow  his  knee — 
before,  he  looked  at  Haaaa  as  an  Amalekite, 
now,  as  a  persecutor. 

Full  of  rage  and  fViry,  tha  minion  returns  to 
his  palace.  He  assembles  his  family  and 
friends — descants  on  his  magnificence,  the 
height  of  his  favor,  the  excellency  of  his  glorj 
— "  Yet  all  this  avails  me  nothing,  so  long  as  I 
see  Mordecai  the  Jew  sitting  at  the  king's 
gate."  The  darlings  of  the  world  are  stran- 
gers to  perfect  happiness — some  latent  sorrow 


I  still  disturb  their  best  enjoyments,  and 
L  even  their  prosperity  miserable. 
Ihe  wife  of  Haman  stimulates  him  to  instant 
Lge__her  impatience  will  not  wait  for  the 

gnt  month  Adar.  All  the  council  applaud 
I  murderous  design.  But  God  had  other 
)  for  his  people,  and,  in  the  very  instant 
intended  nrtsdrief,  ire  accomplishes  4h»  pw- 
L  of  mercy.  He,  "  who  neither  slumber- 
[nor  sleepeth,"  causeth  sleep  that  night  to 
Irt  from  Ahasuerns.  Either  to  beguile 
(time,  or  to  employ  it  well,  the  king  com- 
Ls  the  written  chronicles  of  Persia  to  be 
Lht  before  him.  The  unerring  hand  of 
fvidence  directs  him  to  the  record  of  Mor- 
lis  past  zeal— of  that  vigilant  fidelity 
|cb  preserved  the  monarch  of  the  world 

I  nightly  assassination. 
L'ith  the  anxiety  of  a  generous  mind,  he 
lands  what  honor  has  been  shown  to  Mor- 
al in  return  for  his  service  ;  and  he  learns 
lb  sorrow,  that  the  merit  to  which  he  was 
lebted  for  life,  has  been  too  long  neg.ected 
1  forgotten. 

h'be  implacable  Haman  was  already  in  the 
ler  court  of  the  palace  to  demand  the  head 
iMordecai.  He  is  commanded  to  approach  ; 
I  ere  he  can  utter  the  purpose  of  his  wioked 
art,  his  master  prevents  him—"  What  shah 
rdone  to  the  man  whom  the  king  delighleth 

I  honor?" 

fcould  Haman  have  thought  that  the  ques- 
L  wBOdFiH^  a»y  mortal  but  himself,  he  had 
L  so  lavishly  consulted  a  display  of  such 
Lruificence.  He  had  already  the  power  of 
llwsuerus— he  covets  a  temporary  investi- 
Leof  bis  royal  dignity.  The  crown  shall  be 
ill  his  head— the  mantle  of  the  king  upon  his 
Lulders— no  meaner  person  shall  attend  him 
1  ills  supposed  greatness,  than  one  of  the  no- 
Ilest  princes— the  streets  of  Susa  shall  wit- 
less the  pomp  aud  echo  with  the  splendid 
Iroclaaation,  "Thus  shall  it  be  done  to  the 
\m  whom  ihe  king  delighteth  to  honor !" 

Never  is  the  heart  of  man  so  cold  within 
lim  as  when  from  the  height  of  expected  good 
It  fjlls  at  once  into  evil.  What  were  the  sen- 
lations  of  thy  breast,  0  Haman,  when  thou 
leardstthe  killing  words,  "Do  thou  this  to 
dordecai !"  Hast  thou  but  one  proud  enemy 
In  the  world,  and  art  thou  singled  out  to  grace 
lim  ?  Did  it  embitter  all  thy  happiness,  that 
Ihis  Jew  would  not  do  obeisance  to  thee,  and 
iiust  thou  bow  to  him  ?  Mmt  thou  be  his 
Eerald  to  proclaim  his  honor  through  Susa  T 
m'by  dost  thou  not  signify  to  thy  master  the 
Urport  of  thy  coming  ?  Why  dost  thou  not 
fepeak  of  thy  murderous  preparations  ? 

The  mortified  Haman  retires  in  distraction 
of  heart,  and  prepares  for  the  hated  service. 
^hen  Mordecai  sees  his  enemy  approach,  he 
Lagines  himself  already  summoned  to  execu- 
Lu- when  he  sees  the  purple  robe,  he  says  in 
Jin  his  heart,  "  Is  it  not  enough  that  he  kill  me, 
■bat  he  must  insult  my  last  distress  ?"  But 
Iwben  he  sees  the  royal  crown  ready  to  be  set 
Ion  his  head,  and  marks  the  submissive  gestwes 
loi'  Haman,  and  finds  that  no  mockery  is  in- 
Itended,  he  concludes  that  this  proceeds  from 
lEsther's  intercession— he  lifts  up  his    heart 

I  with  joy he  forms  the  most  auspicious  hope 

I  for  himself  and  for  his  people. 

With   a  covered  head  and  dejected  coun- 

Itenance  the  Amaleklto  hastens  home  to  impart 

Ihis  sorrows.     He     assembles   his  wife  and 

I  friends— miserable    comforters  are  they  all! 

I  "If  Mordecai  be  of  the  seed  of  the  Jews,  be-,

fall  before  him."   Out  of  the  mouth  of  Pagans,

mightest  still  the  enemy  and  the  avenger.    0,

TUB   TOMB   OF   MORDECAI    AND    ESTHER. 


Lord,  thou  art  the  same  yesterday,  and  to-day, 
and  forever.  If  we  be  thy  true  Israel,  neither 
earth  nor  j/i<>o/  shall  prevail  against  us — we 
shall  surely  stand,  or  surely  rise,  while  thine 
enemies  shall  lick  the  dust. 

The  vengeance  which  has  hitherto  slept  is 
now  awake,  and  prepares  itself  for  just  execu- 
tion. While  the  presage  of  evil  ta  scarcely 
uttered,  its  completion  is  begun.  The  mes- 
sengers of  Ahasuerus  call  Haman  in  baste  to 
the  fatal  ba'nquet. 

The  king  is  now  impatient  for  the  long- 
delayed  suit  of  Esther.  Thrice  had  he  pledged 
himself  to  grant  her  request,  though  it  should 
extend  to  half  his  kingdom.  The  same  wis- 
dom that  deferred  the  prayer,  now  brings  it 
suddenly  forward.  "  If  I  have  found  favor  in 
thy  sight,  O  king,  let  my  life  be  given  mo  at 
my  petition  and  my  people  at  my  request." 
Ahasuerus  expected  some  high  and  difficult 
boon  ;  now  that  he  hears  his  queen  beg  for 
Ufe,  he  is  transported  with  fury  against  her 
yet  unknown  adversary :  he  interrupts  her 
speech  with  vehement  indignation,  and,  as  if 
he  had  heard  too  much  already,  furiously  ex- 
claims, "  Who  is  he  ?  Where  is  he  that  durst 
presume  in  his  heart  to  de  so?" 

The  royal  suppliant,  fixing  her  eyes  on  her 
hated  persecutor,  cries  out  with  undaunted 
courage,  "  The  adversary  and  enemy  is  this 
wicked  Haman  1" 

Ahasuerus  rises  from  the  unfinished  ban- 
quet, hurried  away  by  the  tempest  of  his  pas- 
sions. The  criminal  sees  his  fate  denounced 
against  him  in  the  angry  looks  of  his  master. 
His  tongue  falters,  his  lips  tremble,  his  guilty 
heart  fails  him.  With  a  meanness  proportion- 
ed to  his  former  wickedness,  he  prostrates  him- 
self before  the  queen  in  agonies  of  despair. 
Even  this  act  of  submission  is  misinterpreted 
by  the  enraged  Ahasuerus  on  his  return  to  the 
pavilion.  "  The  wrath  of  the  king  is  a  mes- 
sage of  death."  The  face  of  Haman  is  cov- 
ered for  his  approaching  execution.  No  more 
shall  he  behold  the  sun.  Haman  is  doomed, 
by  a  just  decree,  to  that  ignominious  engine 
of  death  which  he  had  prepared  for  the  object 
of  hia  hatred.  The  Jews  have  light,  and  glad- 
ness, and  joy,  and  honor.  The  sentence  against 
them  cannot  be  reversed- its  danger  is  season- 
ably prevented.  Mordecai  sacceeds  to  the 
dignity  so  justly  forfeited  by  the  impious  Ha- 
man. He  who  sat  in  the  gate  is  made  next  to 
the  throne.  The  feast  of  Purim  ia  ordained 
for  a  perpetual  memory  of  the  deliverance  of 
the  people  of  God. 


"  Behold  1  the  wicked  travaileth  with  mis- 
chief :  he  hath  conceived  sorrow  and  brought 
forth  ungodliness— he  made  a  pit  and  digged 
it,  and  has  fallen  himself  into  the  destruction 
that  he  made  for  others.  Wherefore,  then, 
should  he  blaspheme  God,  while  he  doth  say  in 
his  heart,  "  Thou  wilt  not  require  it  ?"  "  Sure-

godliness  and  wrong— that  thou  mayost  take 
the  matter  into  thine  hand— the  poor  commit-

Notice  to  the  Reader. 

In  placing  the  first  number  of  the  third 
month  of  our  periodical  before  the  reader,  we 
are  happy  to  state  that  after  hard  labor,  mental 
and  corporeal,  we,  at  last,  by  the  help  of  God, 
and  the  support  of  the  public,  hope  to  see  in  a 
short  time  our  publication  estabiished  on  a 
firm  basis.  We  again  must  crave  the  indul- 
gence of  the  public  for  some  few  more  weeks, 
when  after  being  properly  settled,  we  hope  to 
make  amends  for  aeficiencies  which  the  press  of 
business  compelled  us  to  allow  to  exist.  In 
case  that  the  support  we  receive  should  at  all 
justify  it,  we  shall  not  fail  to  add,  in  a  short 
time,  without  extra  charge  an  addtiional  half 
a  sheet,  which  will  be  devoted  to  certain  mat- 
ters of  general  interest.

THE     WEEKLY     OLEANER. 


JUVENILE. 


What  ia  that,  Mother  ? 
What  ia  that,  mother  ?— 

The  lark,  my  child.— 
The  morn  has  but  just  looked  out,  and  smiled, 
When  be  starts  from  his  liumble,  grassy  nest, 
And  is  np  and  away  with  the  dew  on  his  breast. 
And  a  hymn  in  his  heart,  to  yon  pure  bright 

sphere, 
To  warble  it  out  in  his  Maker's  ear. 
Ever,  my  child,  be  thy  morn's  first  lays 
Tuned,  like  the  lark's,  to  thy  Maker's  praise. 

What  is  that,  mother  ? — 

The  dove,  my  son. — 
And  that  low,  sweet  Toice,  like  a  widow'i 

moan. 
Is  flowing  out  from  her  gentle  breast. 
Constant  and  pure  by  that  lonely  nest. 
As  the  wave  is  poured  from  some  crystal  urn, 
For  oer  distant  dear  one's  quick  return. 
Ever,  my  son,  be  thou  like  the  dove. 
In  friendship  as  faithful,  as  ctmatatttr  in  love.   - 

What  is  that,  mother  ? — 

The  eagle,  boy. 
Proudly  careering  his  course  of  joy. 
Firm  in  his  own  mountain-vigor  relying. 
Breasting  the   dark  storm,  the  red  bolt  de- 
fying. 
His  wing  on  the  wind,  and  his  eye  on  the  sun. 
He  swerves  not  a  hair,  but  bears  onward, 

right  on. 
Boy,  may  the  eagle's  flight  ever  be  thine. 
Onward  and  upward,  true  to  the  line. 

What  is  that,  mother  ? — 

The  swan,  my  love. — 

He  is  floating  down   from  his  native  grove, 

No  loved  one  now,  no  nestling  nigh  ; 

He  is  floating  down  by  himself  to  die ; 

Death  darkens  hiBeye,andonpluiHe8  bis  winp, 

Yet  the  sweetest  song  is  ttie  last  he  siiigH. 

Live  so,  my  love,  that   when  death  shall  como, 

Swan-like  and  sweet,  it  may  waft  thee  home.

There  la  a  Gk>d, 

I  believe  there  is  a  God,  but  I  do  not  be- 
lieve so  because  I  .ever  saw  him.  "  No  man 
hath  seen  God  at  any  time."  God  says,  "  No 
man  shall  see  me  and  live."  But  we  may  all 
believe  in  some  things,  which  we  never  saw. 
We  never  saw  the  wind,  and  yet  we  know  it 
blows.  Like  the  wind,  God  may  exist,  though 
not  seen  by  us.  Wo  all  believe  that  many 
men  are  now  alive,  whom  we  never  saw,  but 
whose  works  we  have  seen,  or  whose  fame  we 
have  heard  of.  'riiercfore,  it  is  as  foolish  to 
doubt  whether  there  bo  a  God,  simply  because 
wo  never  saw  him.  But  I  will  tell  you  why  I 
believe  there  is  a  God. 

Not  long  ugo  1  went  with  four  little  chil- 
dren into  a  watchmaker's  shop  on  Washing- 
ton street,  and  there  wo  saw  a  beautiful  large 
clock  with  a  glass  over  it,  that  the  dust  might 
not  get  into  it.  The  gentleman  wound  up  the 
clock;  it  commenced  ticking ;  there  opened  at 
the  top  something  like  a  ball,  and  what  do  you 
think  came  out  of  it  ?  Why,  you  will  be  as- 
tonished to  hear  that  a  little  bird,  not  as  large 
as  a  humming-bird,  hopped  out,  and  flapped 
it«  wings,  and  sang  or  seemed  to  sing  a  pretty 
tune.  When  it  had  sung  its  tune,  it  hoppetl 
down  into  the  box,  and  wc  saw  it  no  more.  It 


was  made  of  brass,  covered  over  with  gold.    It 
was  very  small  and  very  beautiful.    The  little 
boys  and  girls  tliat  were  with  m»  were  much 
pleased.     Charles  said,  "  How  pretty   it  is," 
Isaac  said,  "  How  it  sings."      Mary  said,  "  I 
.  j?iah  Ihaditl"    "Ifl  had  money,  "said  little 
Esther,  "  I  would  give  a  dollar  for  it."    She 
was  told  the  price  of  it  was  three  thousand 
dollars.    Jane  asked,  "Who  made  it?"    The 
watchmaker  told  her  it  was  made  by  a  man 
in  Geneva,  in  Switzerland.  We  all  left  the  store 
in  good  spirits  and  went  out  to  a  grove.    Here 
were  many  living  birds.    Some  were  black, 
some  were  blue,  some  were  red,  some  were  yel- 
low, some  were  green,  and  many  were  speck- 
led.    One  had  a  white  body,  and  red  head,  and 
black  wings.     One  was  black  all  over  except 
the  wings,  which  were  of  the  color  of  gold. 
Every  one  of  them  could  hop  from  branch  to 
branch,  and  firom  tree  to  tree.    They  could 
build  nests,  and  find  food  for  themselves  and 
their  young  ones.    They  could  all  make  some 
noise.    The  notes  of  most  of  them  were  very 
sweet.     One  of  them  could  mock  all  the  rest. 
He  had  the  notes  of  the  quail,  the  jay,  the 
blue-bird,  the  robin,  the  cat-bird,  and  a  dozen 
others.     He  is  called  the  mocking-bird.     The 
sun  shone  clearly,  and  a  little  rain  the  night 
before  had  made  the  air  cool  and  pleasant.    So 
we  all  walked  through   the  grove,  and  found 
some  pretty  flowers.     We  then  came  to  a  cool 
spring,  and  took  a  dhnk  of  water.     Near  the 
spring  was  a  large  rock,  and  on  it  we  sat  down 
to  rest.  "  Now,  is  not  this  fine?"  said  I.  "  Yes, 
yes,  yes,  yes,"  was  heard  from  all.      Just  then 
two  or  three  birds  near  ua  sang  sweetly,  as  if 
to  please  us.     I  thought  it  was  a  good  time  to 
talk.     So  I  said,  "  If  a  man   in   Geneva  made 
the  bird  in  the   little  case  of  the  clock,  how 
•ame  all   the  living  birds  here  ?      Did  they 
make  themselves?"       Charles  said,     "How 
could  they  make  themselves?  I  saw  in  my  book 
the  other  day,  that  nothing  can  make  noth- 
ing."   "  Well,"  said  I,   "  did  the  man  in  Ge- 
neva make  them  ?"    Jane  answered,  "  No  I  he 
never  ^aw   them.      He  cuuld  not  make  such 
birds  as  these.    The  bird  in  the  box  is  the  best 
he  could  make,  and   it  cannot  lay  eggs,  and 
hatch   young   ones,  and   fly  about,  and  build 
nests  and  eat  cherries."     I   then  said,  "  Did 
they  grow  without  any  one  making  them?" — 
Isaac  replied,  "  flow  could  they  ?"    Mary  said, 
"  I  can  tell  you  how   they  came  here.      God 
made  them.     No  man  could  make  them.  None 
could  make  them  but  God  himself.     I  know 
there  is   a  God,  because  there  are  so  many 
pretty  birds." 

I  added,  "  You  arc  all  right,  my  children. 
There  is  a  God.  If  these  little  birds  were  put 
under  the  water,  they  would  all  die,  yet  there 
are  thousands  of  living  things  in  the  water, 
that  would  die  if  they  were  brought  out  of  it. 
God  has  fitted  the  birds  to  the  air,  and  the 
fishes  to  the  sea.  He  hass  made  every  good 
thing,  and  we  ought  to  believe  that  He  is.  His 
works  are  all  around  us.  They  are  many,  and 
great,  and  wise.  Let  us  never  doubt  that 
there  is  a  God." 

REMARKS. 

If  there  is  a  God,  we  ought  to  believe  in 
him  and  think  of  him.  We  ought  to  lovo  him 
and  fear  him,  and  obey  him,  and  not  sin  against 
him.  Wo  ought  also  to  trust  in  him.  Little 
birds  do  his  will,  and  praise  him  in  their  way. 
We  ought  to  praise  him  in  our  pretty  hymns, 
and  in  our  hearts,  and  by  our  works — good 
works,  doae  in  the  name  of  God,  are  the  best 
praise.

Be  True. 

How  beaatifal,  how  sacred  is  truth !— Dear 
children,  do  you  both  speak  and  act  the  truth  ? 
It  is  a  simple  question,  but  how  few  of  you  can 
answer  it  without  a  blush.  No  child  that  loves 
and  fears  God  BhonM  tell  an  nntruth,  for  does 
not  He  see  and  read  our  most  secret  thooghte  T 
Then  think  of  that,  dear  children,  whenever 
you  are  tempted  tcf  tel  1  an  untruth.  They  that 
stoop  to  falsehood  and  deceit  will  never  pros- 
per—they will  be  treated  with  contempt  by  all 
good  men  and  women,  and  they  are  an  abomin- 
ation in  the  eye  of  God.  *'  A  lying  tongue  is  an 
abomination  unto  the  Lord,"  says  the  Book  of 
Proverbs. 

Liars  not  only  are  held  in  contempt,  but 
they  are  also  to  be  pitied,  for  their  conscience 
is  at  work,  and  they  are  never  happy.  While 
those  that  strictly  adhere  to  virtue  and  truth 
enjoy  the  blessings  of  God,  and  an  untroubled 
conscience,  without,  which  none  can  be  hap- 
py. Then,  my  dear  little  friends,  let  the 
command  of  our  Heavenly  Father  be  ever 
fresh  in  your  minds,  which  says : 

"  Ye  shall  not  steal,  neither  deal  falsely, 
neither  lie  one  to  another.  Ye  shoU  not  swear 
by  my  name  falsely  ;  neither  shall  thon  pro- 
fane the  name  of  thy  God.  I  am  the  Lord." — 
Levit.  19:11,12. 

True  Greatneas. 

Chief-Justice  Marshall  was  in  the  habit  of 
going  to  market  himself,  and  carrying  home 
his  purchases.  Frequently  he  would  be  seen 
at  sunrise,  with  poultry  in  one  hand  and  veg- 
etables in'the  other.  On  one  of  the  occasions, 
a  fashionable  yonng  man  firom  the  North,  who 
had  removed  to  Richmond,  was  complaining 
violently  because  he  could  find  no  one  to  carry 
home  his  turkey. 

Marshall  stepped  up,  and  asking  him  where 
he  lived,  said,  on  being  told,  "  That  is  on  my 
way,  I  will  take  it  for  you."When  he  came  to 
the  house  the  youug  man  inquired,  "What 
shall  I  pay  you?"  "  O,  nothing,"  said  the 
Chief-Justice,  "you  are  welcome  ;  it  was  on  my 
way  and  not  any  trouble." 

"  Who  was  that  polite  old  man  who  brought 
home  my  turkey  for  me  ?"  inquired  the  young 
man  of  a  by-stander.  "  That  is  John  Mar- 
shall, chief-justice  of  the  United  States.''-^ 
"  VV^hy  did  he  bring  home  my  turkey  ?"  "  To 
give  you  a  severe  reprimand,  and  teach  you 
to  attend  to  your  own  business,"  was  the  reply. 

True  greatness  never  feels  above  doing  any- 
thing that  is  useful ;  but,  especially,  the  truly 
great  man  will  miver  feel  above  helping  him- 
self. His  own  independence  of  character  de- 
pends on  his  being  able  to  help  himself.  Dr. 
Franklin,  when  he  first  established  himself  in 
business  in  Philadelphia,  wheeled  home  the  pa- 
per which  he  purchased  for  the  printing-office, 
upon  a  wheelbarrow,  with  his  own  bands.

Remarkable  and  Startling  Discoverie* 
in  the  East. 

Discoveries  of  the  Ruins  of  the  Tower  of  Babe. 
Beirut,  Monday,  Dec.  8, 1856. 

It  is  nearly  two  years  since  that  I  informe* 
your  readers  of  the  grand  and   instructive  dif 
coveries   in   ancient   Ninevah,  made  by  Mi 
Place,  the  French  Consul  in  Mosul.     Follow 
ing  up  Mn^  ancient  researches  of  Mr.  Rotta  an 
Mr.Layard,  he  brought  to  light  monuments  c 
that  long-entombed  city,  which  equally  amaz; 
and  delighted  the  world.     A   man  ofgeniu 
and  enthusiasm,  he  was  encouraged  by  his  6U( 
cesses  to  extend  his  researches,  which  he  no' 
closes  with  an  achievement,  which,  if  his  opii 
ions  shall   be  verified,   will  add   imperishabi 
lustre  to  bis  name.    The  Tower  of  Babel  wa 
supposed  to  exist  only  as  a  Biblical  souvenir- 
a  thing  of  memory  and  not  of  substance.     An 
indeed,  to  many  who   contemplated   it  only  i. 
its  audacity  and  folly,  it  seemed  a  myth  or  fancy 
only  of  Oriental  imaginativeness  or  superstition.! 
Besides,  no  locality  was  rssigned  to  the  struct- 
ure, except  the  great  plain  of  Shinar,  and  no 
debris  or  rains  remained  as  the  proof  of  its 
veritable  reality. 

How  surprising,  then,  its  discovery — if  dis- 
covery it  shall  prove — that  Titanic  structure, 
whose  base  was  laid  in  the  earth  yet  soaked 
with  the  waters  of  the  flood,  and  whose  su  m

cry  of  the  Tower  of  Babel,  I  will  give  in  few 
words,  expecting  soon  to  receive  fuller  details, 
at  the  fame  time  remarking  that  the  French 
Coosul-General  of  Beirut,  Mr.  Lesseps,  has  re- 
ceived various  carious  articles  which  were 
found  in  the  tower,  which  I  hope  soon  to  s«o 
and  describe.  I  think  my  hand,  if  not  heart, 
will  fairly  tremble,  if  once  it  takes  hold  of  the 
shovels,  the  trowels,  and  the  hods  used  by  those 
old  masons  and  builders. 


The  village  of  Arbela,  so  famous  in  history 
for  the  decisive  battle  fought  near  it  by  Darius 
and  Alexander,  is  only  a  few  day's  journey 
from  Mosul,  to  which  Mr.  Place,  wearied  with 
the  monotonous  wonders  of  Ninevah,  set  off 
with  his  accustomed  enthusiasm  in  search  of 
new  discoveries,  in  a  region  celebrated  in 
classical  history.  On  his  way,  an  incident  oc- 
curred which  proves  to  what  a  degree  tho 
statements  of  history  respecting  the  locality 
are  the  simple  truth.  Tho  escort  of  Mr.  Place 
dismounted  when  they  reached  the  field  of  Ar- 
bela, following  the  example  of  the  Consul,  who 
wished  to  study  the  battlefield. 

Now  it  is  well  known  that  Darius  employed 
300,000  men  for  many  days  in  leveling  this 
plain  and  in  breaking  whatever  would  interpose 
an  obstacle  to  bia  cavalry  and  chariots  of  war. 
In  the  centre  of  the  old  battle-field  or  Arbella, 
rises  a  hill  of  colosal  dimensions,  whose  object 
the  party  vainly  conjectured,  thinking  it  might 
be  a  tomb,  or  a  triumphal  monument,  or  more 
likely  both.  Unfortunately,  they  had  not  time 
to  examine  it,  nor  the  appliances  necessary  for 
exploring  it. 

Passing  on,  Mr.  Place  and  his  party  at 
length  discovered  what  they  believed  to  be 
nothing  less  than  the  veritable  remains  of  the 
Tower  of  Babel — tho  wonder  of  wonders,  and 
the  grandest  spectacle  which  the  eyes  of  men 
can  contemplate  in  this  age  of  the  world.  This 
proud  tower,  which  was  built  in  defiance  of 
Heaven,  and  aimed  to  pierce  the  very  skies, 
has  lost,  in  the  course  of  ages,  ita  cloud-reaching 
elevation.  Six  of  it^  eight  stories  have  fallen 
and  crumbled  into  dast  ;  but  the  two  which 
remain  are  so  high  that  they  may  be  seen  for 
fifty  or  sixty  miles  around.  Tho  base  of  the 
tower  is  quadrangular,  and  each  side  aboafe  six 
hundred  feet  long.  The  tower  is  made  of 
bricks  of  the  purest  clay,  and  of  a  white  color,

which  is  a  little  shaded  with  a  yellow  tint. 
Under  a  clear  san,  and  as  a  whole,  this  ancient 
monument  of  human  skill  and  daring,  presenta 
a  floe  blending  of  colors  which  sets  the  paint- 
er's pallet  at  defiance.     Befoie  being  baked, 
the  bricks  had  been  covered  with  characters, 
traced   with  the  accuracy  of  the  hand   of  a 
writiiig-onaster.     Near  the  top  of  the  letters 
the    btraight    strokes     were     adorued     with 
flourisht'S  resembling  the  heads  of  nails.     All 
wus  neat,  regular  and   severe  ;  and,   indeed, 
those  who  saw  these  specimens  of  ancient  calli- 
graphy, affirmed  that  the  fathers  of  the  human 
race  wrote  a  better  band  than  their  children. 
Another  carious  fact  arrested  the  attention 
of  the  ex  ploring  party .    The  sacred  record  runs 
thus  :  "  And  it  came  to  puHS  us  they  journeyed 
from  the  Eiist,  that  tbey  found  a   plain  in  the 
valley  of  rthinar,  and  they  dwelt  there.     And 
they  said  one  to  another — Go  to,  let  us  make 
brick,  and  burn  them  thoroughly  ;  and  thty 
had  brick  for  stone,  (or  instead  of  stone,)   and 
slime  had  they  for  mortar."     Modern  skept 
may  ask  :  Where  could  these  builders  obt 
all  this   bitumen  ?  for  a  vast  quantity   m 
have  bien  demanded  to  meet  Ihe  wants  of 
many   trowels.     It   is   a  singular  coiucidei 
that  Mr.   Place  discovered  a  fountain  at 
small  distance  from   the  tower,  whose  wat 
flow  in  such  abundance  as  almost  to   forn 
river.    The  stream  forces  its  wuy  iDto  a  ri 
in  the  vicinity,  did  not  the  people  hasten 
stt  p  it  by  setting  the  bitumiuonn  flood  on  1 
when  they  tranquilly  wait  till  the  fire  is  ex) 
gnished  for  the  want  of  aliment.     Thus  the 
fountain  siill  pours  out  inexhaustible  quai 
ties  of  bitumen,  or  slime,  which  supplied  tb 
old  builders  in  their  vast  enterprise.     Bitun 
also  adds  to  the  durability  of  bricks,  as  weli 
firmly  consolidates  them   in  masonry.     Co 
anything;  be  added  to  the  marvel  ot  the  cc 
cidence  ?     Thus    travels   and   expeditions 
Assyria  Bocume  Biblical  corollaries,  and  o 
proofs  are  never  wanting  of  old  truths. 

Among  the  interesting  discoveries  of  J 
Place,  were  certain  inscriptions  oo  filiets 
gold,  silver  and  copper,  and  also  npon  a  mc 
DOW  unknown,  and  which  has  somewhat 
appearance  of  ivory.  It  has  been  submit 
to  the  experimsnts  of  an  intelligent  metailu 
ut,  and  ilB  qualities  will  soon  be  ascertained 
Soma  very  carious  photographs,  taken

famous  Queen  Semiramis.  This  ancient  m 
nmeot,  situated  on  the  height  of  a  manot 
raised  by  the  hands  of  men,  overlooks  the  i 
fnl  solitudes  which  surround  Lake  Van- 
body  of  water  six  or  seven  times  larger  ti 
Lake  Geneva. 

It  is  not  strange  that  a  gentleman  who  I 
seen  and  handled  some  of  the  articles  brouj 
from  the  Tower  of  Babel  by  Mr.  Place,  sho 
be  excited  as  he  says  he  was  :  "  in  rciatioo 
archaeological  news,  I  take  the  liberty  to  info 
you  that  I  have  just  i<een  the  oldest  thingt 
the  old  world.     Indeed,  I  do  not  know  thai 
ahonld  be  more  surprised  at  seeing  the  fr 
ments  of  the  ark  itself.   Fancy  to  yourself  i 
I  have  just  touched  and  held  in  my  hand,  i

tnoruau  of  the  Tower  of  Babel.    This  tria 
of  mould' d  clay,  illostrated  and  baked  by      . 
Bons  of  Noah,  has  passed  from  the  plains  of 
Sbinar  to  the  chapel  of  St.  Merm'n,  and  is  the 
frait  of  the  strokes  of   the  hammar    in    the

I  will  only  add,  that  if  year  readers  wish  to 


obtain  a  distiDct  and  accurate  idea  of  the 
region  referred  to,  in  which  lies  the  battle-field 
of  Arbela,  and  the  plain  of  Sbiuar,  they  should 
open  their  Atlas  and  survey  the  coantry  be- 
tween Mosul  on  the  I'igris,  and  Lake  Van, 


southeast  of  Mount  Ararat.     Tt  was  very  ^em, to  ^IwonghlY  in Thcie,  ^,  ttff  wivra, 


natural  that  the  sons  of  Noah,  descending 
from  Ararat,  should  commence  their  agricul- 
tural labors  in  the  fertile  and  well  watered 
plain  of  Sbinar,  lying  to  the  east,  where  in 
terrible  rememberance  of  the  flood  tbey  vain- 
ly and  impiously  attempted  a  work  which 
should  protect  them  from  the  recurrence  of 
the  disaster.  Recently  Major  Frazer,  who 
belonged  to  the  stafi"  of  Gen.  Williams,  the 
hero  of  K  irs  with  three  or  four  other  Eng'ish- 
men,  had  gained  the  summit  of  Mount  Ararat 
— the  first  feat  of  the  kind  sinii-e  the  children 
of  Noah  descended  from  it.  Thus,  by  a  sin- 
gular coincident,  about  the  same  *ime,  the  sa- 
cred sammit  was  reached  where  the  ark  rested, 
and  the  tower  discovered   which   was  erected 


siege  to  his  capital,  Belahamr,  probably  on  a 
festival  sacred  to  the  idol  Bheshach,  made  a 
splendid  feast  for  •  thoosand  of  his  lords.

rnd  idolatrous  manner,  singing  songs  in  honor 
of  thtir   idols.    The  appearance  of  a   hand, 
and  writing  the  king's  condemnation  on  the 
wall,  checked  their  mirth,  and  filled  them  with 
terror.     Belsbazzar   was  struck  into  such  a 
panic,  that  the  joints  of  his  thighs  loosed,  and 
he  trembled  exceedingly.     None  present  could 
either  read  or  explain  the  writing.    The  magi- 
cians, astrologers  and  others  famed  for  wisdom, 
were  called  ;  and  a  scarlet  suit  of  apparel,  a 
go'dt-n  chain   for  his  neck,  and  the  office  of 
third  ruler  in   the  kingdom,  was  the  reward 
promised  to  him  who  should  read  and  interpret 
it    Igni-rant  of  the  characters,  or  struck  with 
..  a  panic,  none  of  them  could  pretend  to  read  or

long  a  stranger  to  the  court,  should  be

The  Trance. 
One  of  the  most  remarkable  trances  upon 
record,  is  that  of  the  well  known  William 
ymtmint  n  PrfifihTtflrian  elefgvt""",  then  oi 
Brunswick,  N.  J.  There  are  persons  now 
living  who  knew  this  pious  man,  and  some  who 
still  believe  be  actually  died,  or  left  the  body 
and  went  to  heaven.  The  following  is  his  own 
accoont  of  it : 

"  While  I  was   conversing  with  my  brother 
on  the  state  of  my  soul,  and   the  fears  I  had 
entertained  of  my  fbture  welfare,  I   found  my- 
self in  an  instant  in  another  state  of  existence, 
under  the  direction  of  a  superior   Being,  who 
ordered  me  to  follow  bim.    I  was  accordingly 
wafted  along  I  know  not  how,  till  I  beheld  at 
a  diftance  an  ineffable  glory,  and  the  impres- 
sions of  which  on  my  mind  it  is  impossib'e  to 
ommunicate  to  morUl   man.     I   immediately 
rt  fleeted  on   my  h^ppy  change,  and  thought — 
Well,  blessed  be  God  !  I  am  safe  at  last,  notr 
withstanding  all  my  fears.    I  saw  an  innumer- 
able  host  of  happy   beings  surrounding  the 
inexpressible  glory,  in  acts  of  adoration   and 
joyooB  worship  ;  but  I  did  not  see  any  bodily 
shape  or  representation  in  the  glorious  ap- 
pearance.     I  heard    things    unutterable.      I 
heard  their  pongs  and  hallelujihs  of  thanks- 
giving and  praise,  with  unspeakable  rapture. 
I  felt  joy  unutterable  and  full  of  giory.     I 
then  applied  to  my  conductor,  and   requested 
leave  to  join  tho  happy  throng  ;  on  which  he 
tapped  me  on  the  shoulder,  and  said  '  You  must 
return  to  earth.'    This  seem  d  like  a  sword 
through  my  heart.    In  an  instant  I  recollect 
to  have  seen   my  brother  disputing   with  the 
doctor.    The  three  days  during  whifth  I  had 
appeared  lifeless  seemed   to  be  not  more  than 
ten  or  twenty  minutes.    The  idea  of  returning 
to  this  world  of  sorrow  and  trouble  gave  me 
such  a  shock,  that  I  fainted  repeatedly."    He 
added  :  "  Such  was  the  effect  on   my  mind  of 
what  I  had  seen  and  heard,  that  if  it  be  possi- 
ble for  a  human  being  to  live  entirely  above 
the  w.Tld  and  the  things  of  it,   for  sometime 
a  terwatds  I  was  that  person.     The  ravishing 
sound  of  the  songs  and  hallelujas  that  I  heard, 
and  the  very  words  that  were  uttered,  were  not 
out  of  my  ears  for  at  least  three  years.     All 
the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  were,  in  my  sight, 
as  nothing  and  vanity  ;  and  so  great  were  my 
ideas  of  heavenly  glory,  that  nothing  which 
did  not  in  some  measure,  relate  to  it,  could 
commaud  my  serious  atieution." 

This  extraordinary  event  is  abondaotly  con- 
fii  med  by  the  worthy  successor  of  Mr.  Tennent 
in  the  pastoral  charge  of  his  church.  He 
Blntes  that  af:er  hearing  froji  Mr.  Tennent's 
own  mouib  a  particular  narration  of  this  sur- 
prising trance,  he  said  to  him,  "  Sir,  you  seem 
to  be  one  indeed  raised  from  the  dead,  and  may 
tell  us  what  it  is  to  die,  and  what  yoa  were 
sensible  of  while  in  that  state."  He  replied  in 
the  following  words  :  "  As  to  dying — I  found 
my  fever  increase,  and  I  became  weaker  and 
weaker  ajnd  weaker,  antil  ail  al  once,  I  found 
myself  iu  heaven  as  I  thought.  I  saw  no  si  .ape 
as  to  the  Deity,  bat  glory  all  unutterable.'^ 
Here  he  paused,  as  though  unable  to  find 
words  to  express  his  views,  and  lifting  up  his 
hands,  procee<1ed  :  "  I  can  say  as  Paul  did,  I 
heard  and  saw  things  mnutterable.  I  saw  a 
great  muliitude  before  this  glory,  app*r.n'ly 
in  the  height  of  bliss,  sing  ng  most  melodiously. 
I  was  transported  wiUi  my  own  simatioa, 
viewing  all  my  troubles  ended,  and  my  rest 
and  glory  begun  ;  and  was  about  to  join  the 
happy  mnltitride,  when  one  came  to  me.lo  ked 
ma  fall  in  the  fuee,  laid  his  hands  upon  my 
shoulder,  and  said, '  You  ia«*l  go  back.'   'I  best 


rords  ran  through   me  ;  nothing  could  have 

Ihocked  me  more ;  I  cried  out,  '  Lord  must  I 

\o  back  V    With  this  shock  I  opened  my  eyes 

this  world.    When   I  saw  I  was   in  this 

rorld  I  fainted,  then  came  to,  and  fainted  for 

everal  times,  as  one  naturally  would  have  done 

In  so  weak  a  sTtuatlohT' 

I  am  not  able  to  state  whether  any  cases  of 
gpontaneoas  trance  or  ecstasy  are  on  record  of 
ersons  not  religious  ;  but  certain  it  is,  that 
Ifor  ages  past,  persons  in  the  different  religious 
Idenominations  have  been  known  to  fall  into 
jthis  state.  In  number  7,  page  55,  we  gave  an 
[instance  from  the  Talmud  ;  and  the  Papists 
Ihave,  from  the  beginning  of  their  history,  man- 
lifested  great  enthusiasm  in  detailing  accounts 
I  of  what  they  call  "  miraculous"  ecstasy. 

The  subject  of  our  narrative  the  Rev.  Mr. 
iTennent,  came  very  near  being  buried  alive, 
while  in  this  state,  as  did  also  Ann  Atherton, 
of  whom  Turner  gives  an  account.  This  wo- 
man, we  are  told,  remained  seven  days  without 
breathing,  and  live  coals  to  her  feet  did  not 
blister  them.  Just  aa  all  hope  was  given  up, 
her  body  began  to  grow  warmer,  and  her 
friends,  encouraged  by  this  symptom,  began  to 
I  apply  remedies  anew,  until  they  succeeded  in 
reviving  her.  She  called  for  her  mother,  re- 
lated to  her  an  experience  somewhat  similar  to 
that  of  Tennant's,  and,  to  confirm  it,  told  of 
having  seen  in  the  other  world  three  or  four 
persees,  whoM  naauA  abe  gftvc,  oud  who  had 
died  during  her  trance.  She  lived  two  years 
afterwards,  and  died  happily.  Robert  Young 
tells  of  a  young  lady  who  fell  in  a  trance,  so 
that  for  several  days  the  only  signs  of  life  that 
presented  themselves  were  a  slight  foaming  at 
the  mouth,  and  a  little  warmth  about  the  re- 
gion of  the  heart.  At  the  end  of  a  week  she 
suddenly  cried  out,  "  Mr.  C  is  dead."  Those 
around,  thinking  her  under  the  influence  of  de- 
lirium, replied  she  was  mistaken,  as  he  was  not 
only  alive,  but  well.  But  she  persisted  in  her 
siatement,  saying  she  had  seen  him  and  Mr.  B., 
another  neighbor,  in  the  spirit  world.  To  sat- 
isfy her,  they  sent  out  to  make  inquiries,  and 
to  their  astonishment  found  that  both  had 
died  but  half  an  hour  before.  She  informed 
them  that  at  the  time  she  was  supposed  to 
have  died,  a  celestial  being  conducted  her  into 
the  invisible  world,  and  revealed  to  her  many 
mysterious  things,  her  account  of  which  agrees 
in  the  main,  wtth  that  of  Tennant  and  others 
whose  cases  are  recorded  from  times  immemo- 
rial to  this  day. 

God  in  all  things. — If  we  have  God  in  all 
things  while  ttiey  are  ours,  we  shall  have  all 
things  in  God  when  they  are  taken  away.

may  be,  gives  the  sy8tem  a  chance  to  rest,  and 
allows  the  clogged  organs  to  dispose  of  their 
burdenf.  Thj  practice  of  giving  drugs  to 
clear  out  the  stomach,  though  it  may  afford 
the  needed  temporary  relief,  always  weakens 
the  system,  while  abstinence  secures  the  good 
result  without  doing  any  injury. 

Said  a  yoang  gentleman  to  a  distinguished 
medical  practitioner  in  Philadelphia,  "  Doctor, 
what  do  yoa  do  for  yourself  when  you  have  a 
turn  of  headache,  or  other  slight  attack  ?" 

"  Go  without  my  dinner,"  was  the  reply. 

"  And  if  that  does  not  cure  you,  what  then  ?" 

"  Go  without  my  supper?" 

"  But  if  that  does  not  cure  you,  what  then  7" 

"  Go  without  my  breakfast.  We  physicians 
seldom  take  medicines  ourselves,  or  use  them 
in  our  families,  but  we  cannot  make  our  pa- 
tients believe  it." 

Many  cases  of  slight  indisposition  are  cured 
by  a  change  of  diet.  Thus,  if  a  person  suff  rs 
from  constipation,  has  headache,  slight  attacks 
of  fever  or  dysuepsia,  the  cause  may  often  be 
removed  by  eating  rye  mush  and  molasses, 
baked  apples,  and  other  fruits. — Domestic  Re-

Cold  ob  Inflahhation  of  thkEvks. — Mix 
a  few  bread  crumbs  with  the  white  of  an  egg, 
pat  it  in  a  bag  of  soft  muslin,  and  apply  it  to 
the  eye.  It  will  afford  relief  in  a  few  minutes, 
and  generally  a  cure  in  a  day.  It  is  best  ap- 
plied at  night,  or  when  lying  down.  When 
removed,  bathe  the  eye  well  with  warm  water, 
using  a  bit  of  muslin,  not  a  sponge. 

GuM-BOiLS. — A  gum-boil  is  sometimes  a 
primary  disease,  depending  on  an  inflammation 
of  the  gums  from  accidental  and  common  cau- 
ses, in  which  case  the  lancet,  or  leaving  it  to 
nature,  soon  restores  the  gum  to  a  healthy 
state  ;  bat  ft  more  generally  arises  from  a 
carious  tooth,  in  which  case  extraction  is 
necessary.  If  there  be  any  constitutional  dis- 
turbance about  the  face,  leaches  and  purgatives, 
and  the  usual  means  for  subduing  iuflammation 
may  be  resorted  to. 

A  Card. 

To  the  public  who  wish  to  save  their  natu- 
ral teeth,  or  to  have  new  ones  inserted,  tbey 
can  save  fifty  per  cent,  by  employing  Dr.  Bur- 
bank,  as  his  Dental  work  is  superior  to  that  of 
any  other  Dentist  in  the  State,  and  not  sur- 
passed by  any  in  the  world.  It  is  an  absolute 
fact  that  half  the  money  paid  for  dentistry  in 
this  city,  is  money  thrown  away,  especially 
with  those  who  have  teeth  filled.  If  you  wish 
to  SAVK  your  monkt  and  your  teeth,  employ 
Dr.  Burbaak,  2d  fioor  of  the  Express  Building, 
corner  Montgomery  and  California  streets.

There  is  LOt  one  of  the  newspapers  or  periodi- 
cals of  Prussia  which  has  not  some  Jew  con- 
nected with  it;  several  are  entirely  conducted 
by  Jews. 

The  scheme  for  pubrshing  a  journal  of  sci- 
ence and  art  in  Berlin,  to  which  20,000  Taalers 
sh.ires  were  subscribed,  was  designed  and  car- 
ried out  by  our  co-rcligionist.  the  distinguished 
Dr.  Lazarus.  Messrs.  B.  Kirchberg  of  Cologne 
and  E.  Bleifeder  of  Berlin,  both  Israelila,  were 
elected  directors  of  the  Prussian  Mercantile 
A-^sociation.  Since  December  1,1856  a  new 
Jewish  paper  appears  in  Berlin.  The  name 
of  the  editor  yet  unknown. 

In  regard  to  the  Protestant  Prelate  in  Po- 
merania  who  was  puoij<hed  by  the  Prussian 
government,  because  he  stated  in  his  sermon - 
"Those  Christians  who  were  present  at  the  ded- 
ication of  a  synagogue,  crucified  Christ  again" 
— the  Superintendent  Mcinhold  introduced  a 
bill  in  the  provincial  diet  of  Pomerania  which 
passed  by  a  unanimus  vote — providing  that  no 
minister  should  be  fined  or  punished  fjr  his 
statements  in  the  church,  by  the  governmental 
authorities  unless  the  consistory  decide  bo. 

Badbn. — According  to  the  last  census  in 
Baden,  this  duchy  has  166  Jewish  congrega- 
tions under  16  Rabbis,  and  a  consistory  culled 
jherrat/i.  This  body  consists  of  the  following 
gentlemen:  Vlinisteral-counsellor  Schmidt,  Pres- 
ident; Dr.  Hochstaedtcr,  Dr.  Oeltinger,  Messrs. 
Solomon  Aberle,  Massenbach  and  Rabbi  Alt- 
uuinn. 

Bavaria. — The  Schwaebische  Merkiir  says, 
•A  jonrueymau  tailor,  who  was  an  Israelite,  of 
Beyrent,  Bavaria,  was  tried  for  robbery  in  the 
third  degree.  This  case  is  remarkable  for  its 
being  the  first  on  the  criminal  records  of-^hi« 
district,  that  an  Israelite  was  accused  of  a 
crime. 

Professor  Bauragarten,  Doctor  of  Divinity 
of  Rostock,   Schwerin   publised  a  pamphlet  in 
Brnnawick,  in  which  he   enlightens    the    com. 
niunity  about  his  removal  from  the  theological 
examination-committee  of  this  university.     He 
says,  he  gave  one  candidate  of  theology  the 
following  theme,  "Was  the  highpriest  Jejodah 
justifiable  in  killing  the  regaiuing  queen  Atha- 
lia?  2.  Kings  xl  4—16,   and   2.  Chron.  xxiii. 
1 — IT).     Wlien  the  composition  was  handed 
to  the  professor,  he  wrote  on  it,    'The   biblical 
passage  was  handled  with  much  care  and  ex- 
pcrtnes.0,  and  the  recollections   connected  with 
it  are,  therefore,  to  be  ceosidered  satisfactory, 
as  thoy  justify  the   conduct  of  the  highpri^st. 
The  author  supposes  justly,  that  from  this  pas- 
sage a  defence  of  revolutionary  actions   woul*^ 
be  drawn,  if  violence    and   injustice  excel." 
The  paper  was  received   by  the  authorities, 
and  sent  immediately  to  the  minister  of  in- 
struction, upon  which   Professor   Baumgarten 
was  dismissed  from  office. 

The  emperor  of  Austria  promised  again, 
that  the  code  of  laws  iu  regard  to  religious 
professions  would  appear  shortly.  He  also  re- 
marked, that  he  is  desirous  of  doing  justice  to 
all  hisbsujects; 

Russia — The  residences  of  several  learned 
Israelites  were  scearched  by  the  police.  One 
Rabbi  Haym  Margolioth  was  arrested  because 
Feuorbach's  and  Heine's  works  were  found  m 
hia  library.  Another  man  whose  name  is  not 
mentioned,  met  with  the  same  fate,  because  he 
had  Eugene  Sue's  works  among  his  books.

This  had  an  unfavorable  impression  on  the 
stocks.  The  cause  of  Pereire's  decision  was 
the  animosity  of  the  Rothschilds  against  his 
houf-e,  The  emperor  succeeded  in  reconciling 
the  two  houses,  and  Pereire  revoked  his  inter- 
dict. Rothschild  contracted  to  replenish  the 
bank  of  France  in  the  course  of  this  year  with 
280  millions  of  francs  in  bullion,  just  enough 
to  make  France  bankrupt.

Examinations  vs.  Exhibitions 
School  examinations,  judiciously  regarded 
and  propsrly  conducted,  have  a  beneflciai  effect 
upon  teachers,  pupils  and  parents  ;  but,  that 
they  may  answer  their  true  design,  and  pro 
duce  the  favorable  results  for  which  they  are 
instituted,  their  object  should  be  clearly  under- 
stood and  wisely  observed.  An  examination 
in  the  prospect  should  tend  to  stimulate  both 
teachers  and  pupils  so  to  perform  all  their 
school  duties  that  they  will,  at  any  time,  bear 
a  strict  and  candid  inspection. 

Teachers  and  pupils  should  daily  labor  with 
a  strong  desire  to  do  their  woi  k  so   faithfully 
that  it  will,  at  all  times,  bear  the  test  of  a  close 
examination      Nothing  can  be  more  erroneous 
than  the  idea,  which  some  appear  to  entertain, 
that  the   exercises  and  recitations  of  a  single 
day,  in  the  presence  of  a  crOwd  of  people,  who 
have  entered  the  schooI-.-oom  for  the  first  time 
during  th^  year,  will  afford  a  fair  criterion  for 
deciding  upon  the  condition  of  a   school,  and 
of  the  ability  or  fidelity  of  teacher  and  pupils. 
On  such  occasions,  the  very  circumstances  will 
tend  greatly  to  modify  the  real  appearance  of 
a  school,  both  as  regards  deportment  and  reci- 
tations.    The  usual  assemblage  often  tends  to 
abash  or  confuse  the  best  pupils  of  a  school. 
Many  a  good  scholar  has  had  his  spirit  crush- 
ed, and  his  ardor  checked,  by  failures  resulting 
from  embarrassment  on  the  day  of  examination. 
On  such  occasions,  the  children  are  frequently 
subjected  to  an  ordeal  that  would  be  trying  to 
adults.     Sometimes  the  mere  excitement  at- 
tendant upon  an  examination  causes  many  pu- 
pils  to  appear  to  great  disadvantage.    The 
modest  and   bashful  child  will  be  thrown  into 
the  shade  ;  while  the  less  worthy,  the  bold  and 
impertinent,  will  thrust  themselves  forward. 
And,  as  the  whole  system  of  examinations  is 
generally  but  a  mere  exhibition,  and  sometimes 
an  impo.-ition  upon  the   ignorant  multitude — 
who  mistake  mere   recitations  of  poetry  and 
speeches,  mere  acts  of  memory — for  actually 
acquired  knowledge.     Under  these  circumstan- 
ces, a  good  performer  is  often  taken  for  a  good 
scholar  ;  a  good  memory  for  a  good  intellect  ; 
a  flippant  tongue  for  a  clear  head  ;  a  well  drilled 
exercise  for  well  prepared  examination  :  under 
such  circumstances,  there  is  often  the  worst 
chance  for  the   best  children  ;  and   we   would 
wrong  them  if  we  were  to  judge  from  the  fact 
of  a  child's  failure  at  the  public  examination. 
May  parents  take  the  hint,  and   not   without 
good  grounds,  think   less  of  their  children's 
instructors. 

The  true  object  of  an  examination  should 
be  to  ascertain  whether,  under  all  the  circum- 
stances, teacher  and  jiupil  have  performed  tbeir 
daily  duties  in  a  faithful  and  intelligent  man- 
ner, so  shat  they  dhscrve  the  continued  ap- 
proval of  committees  and  parenie.  The  desired 
knowledge  on  this  point  can  be  more  satisfac- 
torily obtained  by  ucca.'^ional  and  informal 
Tisits  to  a  school,  than  on  a  set  examination- 


day.*  I  would,  therefore,  suggest  that,  instead 
of  the  mode  of  examining  schools  now  so  com- 
mon, committees,  or  as  is  usual  in  Prussia, 
directors  should  visit  the  schools  onder  their 
charge  as  frequently  as  may  be,  and  without 
previous  notice.  At  these  visits,  they  should 
examine  the  several  fili»i«M'g,  with  as  mu( ' 
thoroughness  as  may  be  desirable,  to  ascertain 
their  true  condition.  The  teacher's  methods  of 
teaching  and  governing  should  also  be  carefully 
observed,  and  every  step  taken  that  may  seem 
essential  to  gain  a  correct  understanding  of  thr 

true  condition  of  the  school.  ^-^ 

These  occasional  visits  will  afford  an  ins'ght 
into  the  every-day  movements  and  state  of  the 
school,  and  give  a  more  just  view  of  the  na- 
tuee  of  the  relation  which  subsists  between  the 
instructor  and  pupils.  Results,  in  themselves 
highly  satisfactory,  as  exhibited  on  examination 
day,  may  have  been  produced  by  methods  and 
processes  very  unsatisfactory. 

At  the  times  of  these  visitations,  it  should 
be  the  aim  of  the  teacher  to  conduct  the  sev- 
eral exercises  precisely  as  he  does  when  no 
visitors  are  present,  that  the  school  may  appear 
in  its  usual  condition.     If  the  committee  wish 
to  examine  any  class  or  classes  more  at  length, 
the  teacher  should  most   cheerfully  acquiesce, 
and  do  all  within  his  power  to  impart  a  correct 
underetanding  of  the  condition  of  the  school, 
with  ail  its  defects,  as  well  hs  excellences.    If 
pupils  have  been  idle  or  heedless,  let  it  be  seen 
to  their  disadvantage  ,  if  they  have  been  dilli- 
gent  and  attentive,  let  it  appear  to  their  credit. 
If  these  informal  visits  shall  tend  to  satisfy 
the  committee  that  the  schools   have    been 
laboring  wisely  and  faithfully  in  all   tbeir  rela- 
tions, an  opportunity  should  be  afforded  the 
teachers,  at  the  close  of  their  several  terms,  to 
present  such  an  exkibition  of  the  school  as  may 
best  tend  to  interest  parents  and  pupils.     But 
it  should  be  regarded  as  an  exhibition  and  not 
as  an  examination.     It  should  be  an  occasion 
that  will  be  alike  gratifying  to  pupils  and  to 
parents — a  sort  of  assurance  that  school  duties 
have  been  so  satisfactorily  performed  as  to 
entitle  pupils  and  teacher  to  the  privilege  of 
exhibiting  their  more  pleasing  and  less  irksome 
exercises.     The  speaking  of  pieces,  rehearsal 
of  dialogues,  and  reading  of  composition?,  may, 
in  part,  constitute  the  exercises  on  these  occa- 
sions.    Their  trne  object  should  be,  to  show 
not  what   the  pupil  can  recite,  but  what  he 
actually  can  do.

CHAPTEH  II. 

Cnltivats  an  Amiabls  Temper. 

Without  a  gO(  d  temper  you  can  neither  en- 
joy a  pleasing  situation,  nor  support  an  incon- 
venient one.  Without  good  nature  there  may 
be  many  valuable  qualities ;  but  they  would 
be  all  gladly  exchanged  for  that  sweetness  of 
disposition  which  compensates  for  a  thousand 
defects. 

The  improvement  of  our  temper  is  a  thing 
not  so  much  out  of  our  power  as  is  commonly 
supposed.  The  general  idea  is,  that  good 
temper  is  a  certain  gift  of  nature,  like  iJcanty; 
which  a  man  c;innot  have  unless  he  is  born 
with  it.  It  must  be  confessed  that  some  seem 
formed,  from  their  very  birth,  to  be  the  delight 
pf,  the  human  kind  in  this  respect,  and  that 
<>t'hers  u.ain  seem  to  have  brought  into  the 
if^orld  with  them  an  unhappinecs  of  temper, 
which  seems  incapa'ole  of  melioration.  The 
generality  of  mankind,  however  are  not  found 
in  these  extremes.  The  temper  of  most  people 
is  made  np  of  a  mixture  of  good  and  bad. 
The  character  of  the  person,  in  point  of  tem- 
per, is  denominated  from  that  quality  which 
his  the  ascendancy. 

The  predominance  of  a  condemnable  temper 


is  not  to  be  charged  wholly  to  the  circum- 
stances that  excite  it,  but  in  part  to   the  not 

counteracts  the  influence  of  those  circumstan- 
ces which  tend  to  deprave  the  temper.  That 
the  good  in  our  temper  may  prevail,  is  a  most 
desirable  thing  ;  and  this  desirable  thing  is 
attainable.  Now,  if  interest  may  be  allowed 
to  second  t^e  voice  of  duty,  liear  what  it  sajs 
to  the  weddpl  pair  :  "  If  you  wish  to  render 
your  union  delightful  in  all  situations,  and  to 
relish  it  to  the  very  last,  seek  the  improvement 
of  your  temper,  at  any  price." 

On  the  cuUivation  of  good  nature,  let  me 
suggest  a  few  bints. 

Endeavor  to  ascertain  what  is  that  particu- 
lar defect  of  temper,  into  which  you  are  most 
liable  to  fall  ;  and  make  a  point  of  setting  a 
strong  guard  over  yourself  in  that  particular. 
Let  this  idea  be  ever  present  in  your  mind  : 
"  At  that  weak  part  of  my  nature  all  the  mis- 
cries  of  matrimonial  life  may  enter."  This 
will  probably  be  found  a  hard  service  ;  but 
the  necessity  of  the  case  obliges  yon  to  it. 
You  have  the  choice  of  but  two  things  :  you 
must  be  incessantly  vigilant  and  self-denying 
here,  or  suffer  every  domestic  delight  to  be 
torn  from  you. 

But  I  have  another  piece  of  advice  to  give, 
namely  :  avoid  the  occasions  which  excite  any 
unruly  temper  to  which  you  may  be  liable. 
This  advice  is  given  to  you  both,  with  respect 
to  each  other.  Having  ascertained  each  others 
particular  imperfection,  you  have  likewise 
learned  what  things  they  are  that  call  it  forth. 
That  which  provokes  your  partner  must,  as  far 
as  possible,  be  sh  unned. 

Here  a  number  of  little  matters  become  ob- 
jects deserving  attention.  Nor  must  they  be 
passed  over  because  they  are  little.  Little 
matters  are  felt  to  have  great  power  when  they 
act  upon  a  tender  heart.  An  insect  could 
have  blinded  Sameon  when  in  his  full  strength. 
No  small  portion  of  the  uneasine.-s  that  have 
imbittered  married  life,  has  arisen  out  of  the 
insect  occurrences,  which  every  day  produces  ; 
and  contemptible  as  they  are  in  themselves, 
they  must  be  watched,  on  account  of  the  mis- 
chiefs of  which  they  are  capable. 

There  is  no  evil  which  petty  occurrences 
more  frequently  generate  than  disputes ;  nor 
are  there  many  things  which  it  is  more  the 
interest  of  the  married  pair  to  guard  against. 
"The  contentions  of  a  wife,"  saith  Solomon, 
"  arc  a  continual  dropping."  Drop  after  drop 
wears  a  deeper  impression  than  a  thousand 
storms.  What,  therefore,  is  that  unthinking 
woman  about  who  indulges  a  disputing  (spirit; 
who  will  debate  every  point ;  and  have  the 
last  word  about  straws?  She  is  forcing  her 
husband  into  other  society,  and  that ,  perhaps 
to  which  he  has  had  many  objections  ;  all  of 
which,  however,  are  at  length  overcome,  by 
the  refuge  it  affords  him  from  the  misery  of 
incessant  debate.  It  is  not,  perhaps,  so  much 
to  the  commission  of  the  more  alarming  crimes, 
as  to  the  fieqnency  of  frivolous  disputes,  that 
the  alienation  of  married  people  from  each 
other  is  to  be  generally  asciibed.  I  may  add. 
that  in  these  irritating  encounters,  deeds  of 
the  worst  kind  have  often  had  their  beginuing. 
Whtttevi-r,  therefore,  you  forget,  let  me  con- 
jure both  of  yon  to  remember  the  mischief  of 
frivolous  disputes.

The  Lost  Books  of  the  Bible. 

Under  this  heading  we  fiaw  sametime  since, 
ialwo  piiblifm'iotiF.  't^m"  calculated  to  ao<3|£> 
value,  by  what  is  lost,  that  portion  which  it 
preserved  of  the  Bible,  to  obviate  this  tendency 
we  reply  : 

1.  'That  losing  an  object  and  noticing  the 
loss  at  once  proves  that  the  loss  was  felt,  and 
thought  worthy  of  notice.  And,  as  will  be 
seen,  the  loss,  as  to  quantity,  was  but  of  a  triv- 
ial nature  ;  the  value  of  the  great  portion 
preserved  is  the  more  to  be  appreciated. 

2.  The  loss  of  an  object  does  not  prove  its 
being  slighted  or  thought  little  of,  since  men 
lose  valuables  :  jewels  are  lost.  A  diamond 
lost  out  of  a  ring  does  not  prove  that  the  ring 
was  not  considered  valuable.  But  it  was  not 
appreciated. 

3.  The  loss  of  an  object  does  not  affect  its 
intrinsic  value ;  since  it  depend  on  the  party 
that  has  lost  it,  or  on  the  time  during  which  it 
was  lost.  During  wars,  conflagrations  and 
national  calamities  valuable  treasure,  docu- 
ments and  archives  are  wholly  or  partially  lost, 
though  highly  valuable ;  and  if  a  portion  is 
saved  from  the  general  almost  universal  loss, 
it  shows  the  great  value  of  that  portion.  Is  it 
not  so  with  the  Bible,  if,  during  wars,  invasion 
aud  persecutions  some  portion  of  the  Bible  is 
lost,  this  loss  does  not  disparage  the  portions 
preserved. 

The  wonder,  in  relation  to  the  Bible,  is  not 
what  is  lost,  but  what,  in  spile  of  the  many 
obstacles  has  been  preserved. 

Besides  we  must  consider  who  has  lost  it — it 
was  man.  Aud  has  man  not  lofct  :  behold 
our  state,  what  has  man  not  lost '?  The  gener- 
ality of  our  race  are  in  a  depraved  state  ;  the 
multitude  have  lost  their  conr^ciences,  their 
faith  and  their  God  ;  the  multitude  are  the 
ungo<ily,  or  the  idolaters.  The  multitude,  the 
majority  have  in  all  ages,  not  only  lost  what 
was  good  and  gracious,  but  they  have  thrown 
it  away — have  rejected  it.  To  this  Judea  and 
Grecia,  the  religious  and  classic  world,  bear 
awful  witnesses. 

Israel  always  hated  and  persecuted  hia  true 
prophets ;  and  Greece  poisoned  a  Socrates  and 
banished  an  Aristydea.  And  thus  man's 
losing  or  even  throwing  away  or  riyccting  a 
portion  of  the  Bible,  does  prove  nothing  againt 
the  part  lost  or  rejected  or  that  preserved.  Wo 
add  the  following  from  Horn  : 

1.  That  the  Hebrew  word  (scppneR)  which 
we  render  book,  properly  signifies  the  bare  re_ 
hearaal  of  any  thing,  or  any  kind  of  writing^ 
however  small ;  and  it  was  the  custom  of  the 
Jews  to  call  every  little  memorandum  by  that 
name. 

Thus,  what  we  translate  a  bill  of  divorce- 
ment  (Deut.  xxiv.  1.)  is  in  the  original  a  book 
of  divorcement,  containing  merely  a  few  lines  ; 
in  like  manner,  David's  letter  to  Joab  in  2 
Sam.  xi.  14,  15.  is  a  book  in  the  Hebrew  and 
Gretrk  ;  as  also  the  king  of  Syria's  letter  to  the 
king  of  Israel,  mentioned  in  2  Kings  v.  5. 

2.  Shat  several  of  these  tracts,  which  are 
now  extant,  were  written,  not  by  persins  pre- 
tending to  any  supernatural  assistance,  but  by 
those  who  were  styled  recorders  or  writers  of 
chronicles,  an  oflice  of  great  honor  and  trust, 
but  of  a  diflerent  kind  from  that  of  the  pro- 
phets. 

3.  But,  supposing  that  the  books  io  queston 
were  written  by  those  who  were  truly  prophets, 
yet  they  were  not  written  by  inspiration. 

This  argument  is  forcibly  stated  by  Augus- 
tine, in  the  following  manner  : — "  In  the  histo- 
ries of  the  kiugs  of  JuUah  aud  Israel,  several 
tilings  are  meniiooed  which  are  not  there  ex- 
plained, and  are  referred  lu  as  conraiued  in 
other  books  which  the  prophets  wrote.:

THE     WEEKLY     OLEANER 


JUVENILE. 


God. 
God  is  in  heaven  I     Can  he  hear 

A  little  praverlike  mioef 
Yes,  thoughtful  child,  thou  need'st  not  fear, 

lie  listeneth  to  thioe. 

God  ia  Id  heaTen  !     Can  he  ace 
When  I  am  doing  wrong! 
°  Tea  that  he  can;  he  looka  at  thee 
All  day  and  all  night  long. 

God  ia  in  heayen  !     Would  be  know 

If  I  ahould  tell  a  lief 
Yea,  though  thon  aaidat  it  very  low, 

He'd  hear  it  iu  the  sky. 

God  ia  in  heaven!     Does  he  care — 

Does  he  provide  for  me  7 
Yer;  all  thou  haat  to  eat  or  wear, 

'Tia  God  that  givea  it  thee. 

God  ia  io  heaven  !     Can  I  go 

To  thank  him  for  hia  care  f 
Not  yef;  but  love  him  here  below. 

And  be  will  take  thee  there. 

God  is  in  heaven  I     May  I  pray 

To  go  there  when  I  diet 
Yes;  love  him,  seek  hira,  and  one  day. 

He'll  call  thee  to  the  sky. 

Chance. 

At  the  foot  of  ouo  of  those  gigantic 
mountains  in  Asia,  which  lift  up  their 
heads  so  fur  above  tlie  clouds  that  the  eye 
of  man  never  saw  their  summits,  stooil  a 
beaatitul  cottage,  facuig  the  east.  The 
mountain  .stream  leaped  and  murmured  on 
the  north;  the  verdant  plain  where  tlio 
bright-eyed  gazelle  sported,  lay  spread 
out  in  front;  the  garden  and  the  olive-yard, 
filled  with  every  flower  and  every  fruit 
which  an  oriental  sun  could  pencil  and  ri- 
pen, lay  on  the  southi  while  back,  on  the 
west,  rose  the  everlasting  mountain. 
Here  were  walks  and  shades  and  fruits, 
such  as  were  found  nowhere  else.  The 
sun  shone  upon  no  spot  more  luxuriant; 
the  moonbeams  struggled  to  enter  no 
place  more  delightful;  and  the  soft  wings 
of  the  breezes  of  evening  fanned  no  such 
abode  in  all  the  east.  The  howl  of  the 
•wolf  was  never  heard  here,  the  sly  fox 
never  came  here  to  destroy :  and  here  the 
serpent's  hiss  was  never  heard. 

This  cottage  was  cho  home  of  IIakkd, 
the  aged  and  the  prosperous.  He  reared 
this  cottage;  he  adorned  this  spot;  and 
here  for  more  than  four-score  years,  he 
had  lived  and  studied.  During  all  this 
time,  the  sun  had  never  forgotten  to  visit 
him  daily;  the  harvest  had  never  failed, 
the  pestilence  had  never  destroyed,  ajid 
the  mountain-stream  had  never  dried  up. 
The  wife  of  his  youth  still  lived  to  cheer 
and  bless  him;  and  his  sou  and  daughter 
w'ere  such  as  were  not  to  be  found  in  all 
that  Province.  No  youth  could  rein  the 
horse,  hurl  the  javelin,  chase  the  lion,  or 
delight  the  social  circle,  like  this  son. 
No  daughter  of  kings  could  be  found  so 
be&utiful  and  perfect,  as  was  this  daugh' 
ter,  with  an  eye  so  bright  and  joyous,  an3 
'k  form  60  symnaetrical,  as  hers. 


But  who  can  ensure  earthly  happiness  ? 

Tn  f\nc  ahrtvt  u'ftftif     TT 4Pwr>    wafl    fltrjnnftil 
of  all  his  joys. 

Ilis  wife  went  to  see  a  new  white  pea- 
cock,  which   it  was  said  a  neighbor,  who 
lived  a  mile  off  in   the   ravine,    had  just 
brought  home.     She   took   cold,    and   a 
quick   fever   followed;  and  on  her  return, 
Ilufed   saw   that  she  must  die.     Before  | 
two   da)'s   were  gone,    the   old  man  was  i 
standing  at   her   open  grave.     He  gazed  j 
long,   and  said  iu)patiently — "Cover  her,  ! 
— cover  the   only    woman    that   I   ever  j 
loved !"  I 

The  son  and  the  daughter  both  return-  < 
ed  from  the  burial  of  their  mother,  fatigued 
and  sick.  The  nurse  gave  them,  as  she 
tiiought,  a  simple  medicine.  In  a  few 
hours  it  was  found  to  be  poison,  Hafec] 
saw  that  they  must  die;— for  the  laws 
of  nature  are  fixed,  and  ixtison  kilii^,  He 
buried  them  in  one  wide,  deep  grave,  and 
it  seemed  as  if  in  that  grave  he  buried 
his  reason  and  his  religion.  He  tore  his 
grey  hair, — he  cursed  the  light  of  day, 
and  wi.shed  the  moon  turned  into  blood; 
and  above  all,  he  blasphemed  his  God, 
declaring  that  the  laws  which  he  had  es- 
tablished were  all  wrong,  useless,  and 
^worse  than  none.  He  -wwbtrd  the  wtrt'ld 
were  governed  by  chance ;  but  this  was  a 
hopeless  wish,  he  wished  that  at  his  death 
he  might  go  to  a  world  where  there  was 
no  God  to  fix  unalterable  laws.  He  ar- 
raigned the  wisdom  of  Ghd  in  his  govern- 
ment over  this  world,  declaring  that  his 
plans  were  weak,  and  worse  than  none, 
and  that  it  would  be  far  better  to  have  no 
God  in  the  universe! 

In  the  centre  of  Hafed's  garden  stood 
a  large,  beautifid  Palm-tree.  Under  it 
was  Hafed  sitting,  the  second  evening 
after  closing  the  grave  over  his  children. 
The  seat  on  which  he  sat  had  been  reared 
by  his  son.  On  the  leaf  of  the  tree  which 
lay  before  him,  were  some  exquisite  verses 
written  by  the  pencil  of  his  daughter. 
Before  him  lay  the  beautiful  country  with 
green  sprinkled  here  and  there,  as  far  as 
the  eye  could  see,  with  habitations  of  men, 
and  ui)Ou  this  great  landscape  the  shadows 
of  the  mighty  mountains  were  now  setting. 
In  the  east,  the  moon  was  just  pu.ihiug  up 
her  modest  face,  and  the  gold  of  day  was 
.softening  into  the  silver  of  night.  While 
Hafed  looked  on  all  this,  grief  beg  an  to 
swell  in  his  throat;  his  tongue  murmured; 
his  heart  was  full  of  hard  thoughts  of 
God,  which  nearly  amounted  to  blasphemy. 

As  the  night  deepened,  Hafed,  as  he 
then  thought,  fell  asleep  with  a  heavy 
heart.  When  he  supposed  he  awoke,  it 
was  in  a  new  spot.  The  uionutain,  the 
landscape,  the  home,  were  all  gone.  All 
was  new. 

As  he  stood  wondering  where  he  was, 
he  saw  a  creature  approaching  him,  which, 
at  first,  he  mistook  for  a  baboon ;  but  on 
its  coming  near,  he  discovered  that  it  was 
a  creature  somewhat  resembling  a  man, 
but  every  way  malformed,  ill-shaped,  and 
monstrous. 

He  came  up  and  walked  around  Hafed 
as  he  would  a  superior  being,  exclaiming, 
"beautiful,  beautiful  creature  !" 

"Shame,  shame  on  thee  1"  said  Hafed; 
"dost  thou  treat  a  stranger  thus  with  in- 
sults? Leave  off  thy  jests,  and  tell  me 
where  I  am,  and  how  1  came  h'fre!" 

"I  do  not  know  how  you  came   here, 
but  here  you  are  in  our   world,   which  we 
call  chanci-tcorld,  because  everything  hap, 
pens  here  by  chance.,' 

"Ah!  is  it  so?  This  must  be  delight- 
ful! This  is  just  the  world  for  mc.  Oh! 
had  I  always  lived  here,  my  beautiful 
children  would  not  have  died  under  a  fool- 
ish and  inexorable  law!  Come,  show  me 
this  world' — for  1  long  to  see  it.  But 
have  ye  really  no   God,   nor  any   one  to 


make  laws  and  govern  you  just  as  he  sees 
fit?'*  rf      - 


"I  don't  know  what  yon  mean  by  Qod: 
we  have  nothing  of  that  kind  here, — no- 
thing but  chance;  but  go  with  me,  and 
you  will  understand  all  about  it." 

As  they  proceeded,  Hafed  liegau  to  ! 
notice  that  everything  looked  queer  and  j 
odd.  Some  of  the  grass  was  green,  some 
red,  some  white,  some  new,  and  some  dy- 
ing; some  grew  with  the  top  downward; 
all  kinds  were  mingled  together;  and  on 
the  whole,  the  sight  was  very  painful.  He 
stopped  to  oxua:ine  an  orchard ;  here  chance 
had  been  at  work.  On  a  fine  looking 
apple-tree,  he  saw  no  fruit  but  large, 
coarse  cucumbers.  A  small  peach-tree, 
was  breaking  down  under  its  load  of 
gourds.  Some  of  the  trees  were  growing 
with  their  tops  downward.s,  and  the  roots 
branching  out  into  the  air.  Here  and 
there  wtre  great  holes  dug,  by  which 
somebody  had  tried  to  get  down  twenty 
or  thirty  feet,  in  order  to  get  the  fruit. 
The  guide  told  Hafed  that  there  was  no 
certainty  about  these  trees ;  and  could  never 
tell  what  fruit  a  tree  would  happen  to 
bear-  The  tree  which  this  year  Bears  cu- 
cumbers, may  bear  potatoes  next  year, 
and  perhaps  you  would  have  to  dig 
twenty  feet  for  every  potatoe  you  ob- 
tained. 

They  .soon  met  another  of  the  "chance- 
men."  His  legs  were  very  unequal  in 
length,  one  had  uo  knee,  and  the  other  no 
ankle.  His  ears  were  set  upon  his  shoul- 
ders, and  around  his  head  was  a  thick, 
black  bandage.  He  came  groping  his 
way,  and  Hafed  at  once  asked  him  how 
long  since  he  had  lost  his  sight? 

"I  have  not  lost  it,"  said  he;  "but 
when  1  was  born,  my  eye-balls  happened 
to  be  turned  in  instead  of  out,  and  the 
back  parts  being  outward,  are  very  pain- 
ful in  the  light,  and  so  1  put  ou  a  cover- 
ing." 

"Well,  but  canst  thou  see  any  thing? 
Methinks  thou  mayest  see  strange  things 
within." 

"Trne  but  the  difiSculty  is  to  get  any 
light  in  there.  I  have  contrived  various 
ways  to  do  so, — have  had  it  poured  into 
my  ears  and  nose;  but  all  will  not  do. 
Yet  I  am  as  well  oflF  as  others.  My 
brother  has  one  good  eye  oa  the  top  of 
his  head;  but  he  only  looks  directly  w;? 
with  it  to  the  clouds;  and  the  sun  almost 
puts  it  out.  He  shuts  it  most  of  the  time 
during  the  day;  but  it  happens  to  be  one 
of  those  eyes  that  will  not  stay  shut,  and 
so  when  he  sleeps  the  flies  trouble  him  bad- 
ly. I  have  a  sister  who  has  nineteen  eyes 
iu  her  head;  but  they  are  a  vexation. 
She  sees  eighteen  things  too  many.  Even 
now  she  can't  realize  that  she  has  not 
nineteen  fathers,  and  as  many  mothers. 
She  goes  to  bed,  and  falls  on  the  floor 
nineteen  times  at  least  before  she  gets  in. 
She  goes  to  drink,  and  sees  nineteen  cups, 
and  knows  not  which  is  the  real  cup.  But 
so  it  happened,  and  she  is  as  well  off  as 
most  in  this  "chance-world."  Bnt.  after 
all,  it's  a  glorious  world,  I  do  assure  you."

rl  am  black,  but  comely,  0  ye  daughters  of 
*usalera,  as  the  tcnta  of  Eedar,*  as  the  err- 
D8  of  Solomon."— (Canticle.  1,  t.) 

ft  is  supposed,  men  at  first  found  sheUer 
ath  shady  trees  and  in  clefte  of  rocks  ; 
'  subsequently  in  caves  of  the  earth.  Even 
fhis  day,  the  inhabitants  of  Mount  Taurus 
'  in  caves,  and  the  wandering  shepherds  of 
l^bia  Petrea,  where  they  cannot  find  caves 
ktent  themselves  with  the  protection  sflForded 


by  rocks  and  tree?.  Caves  in  the  East  are 
numerous,  and  many  of  them  afibrd  large,  dry 
and  convenient  dwellings. 

The  first  dwellings  constructed  by  the  art  of 
man,  are  said  to  have  been  made  of  large 
branches  of  trees  fixed  in  the  ground,  bound 
together  at  the  top,  and  covered  with  other 
branches,  reeds,  leaves,  &c.  We  are  told  the 
tabernacles,  huts  and  lodges  were  built  in  this 
manner.  They  were  at  first  made  so  low  that 
a  person  could  not  stand  er«ct  in  them,  but 
were  subsequently  built  higher.  Tliey  served 
to  protect  their  inmates  from  the  heavy  dews 
and  coldness  of  the  night,  as  well  as  from  the 
excessive  heat  of  mid-day. 

Tabernacles  were  in  use  after  more  commo- 
dious dwellings  had  been  erected.  They  were 
sometimes  constructed  from  necessity,  some- 
times for  pleasure  and  convenience.  In  the 
warm  season  of  the  year,  they  are  still  occa- 
sionally used  among  the  Nomades  or  wander- 
ing herdsmen  of  Mesopotamia. 

The  human  body  is  sometimes  spoken  of  as 
a  tabernacle — the  frail  and  temporary  dwelling 
pl^ce  of  the  eoni. 


As  men  multiplied  on  the  earth,  and  collected 
into  villages  and  cities,  they  cultivated  the 
mechanic  arts  and  continued  to  improve  the 
construction  and  beauty  of  their  dwellings, 
until  they  had  furnished  themselves  with  con- 
venient and  elegant  houses. 

From  the  earliest  ages,  a  large  class  of  men 
in  the  Eastern  countries,  have  been  engaged 
in  pursuits  which  led  them  to  change  frequently 
their  places  of  residence.  As  permanent 
dwellings  were  not  well  adapted  to  their  cir- 
cumstances, their  ingenuity  led  them  to  the 
construction  of  tents. 

These  were  2rst  made,  it  is  thought,  of  the 
skins  of  animals  fastened  to  a  long  pole  set 
perpendicularly  into  the  ground.  The  cover- 
ing was  drawn  away  from  the  bottom  of  the 
pole  so  as  to  form  a  small,  round  dwelling. 
Subsequently  tents  were  made  oblong  and 
larger,  and  cloth  was  substituted  for  skins. 
Tents  were  first  invented  in  the  family  of 
Jabal ;  (Gen.  iv.  20.)  Some  of  the  tribes  of 
Arabia  have  long  been  knon^n  to  live  in  tents. 
They  have  two  kinds,  the  larger  and  the 
smaller  ones.    The  latter  are  constructed  with 


three  poles  and  covered  with  a  cloth  manufac- 
tured of  wool  nod  camels'  hair.  I'he  covering 
of  the  larger  tents  is  made  of  goats'  hair  and 
is  black.  It  is  sustained  by  seven  or  nine 
poles.  The  longest  poles,  three  in  number,  are 
eight  or  ten  fcot  iu  length,  and  when  set  per- 
pendicular in  the  ground,  form  the  middle  row. 
the  others  are  set  up  on  each  aide  of  this  rojv. 
The  interior  of  the  large  tents  is  divided  by 
curtains  into  three  appartments.  The  inner  is 
appropriated  to  females.  The  next  or  middle 
one,  is  occopied  by  the  males,  and  the  exterior 
by  the  servants,  and,  in  the  night,  by  the 
young  animals. — The  more  wealthy  exclude 
the  animau  from  the  servants'  appartment. 

The  bottom  of  the  tents  is  covered  with  mats 
or  carpets,  upon  which  the  inmates  sit.  The 
fire  is  kindled  in  an  excavation  of  the  earth, 
around  which  several  stones  are  placed.  These 
dwellings  are  easily  moved,  and  are  there- 
fore conveniently  adapted  to  c  ircumstanc^  of 
those  wandering  tribes  whose  occupation  leads 
tnem  to  different  parts  of  the  country.  When 
they  wander  from  one  place  to  another,  they 
take  their  tents  with  them,  and  when  they  stop 
erect  them  again.  This  they  call  pitching 
their  tents. 

The  Arabians  when  practicable  chose  to 
pitch  their  tents  on  a  hil^'so  as  to  form  a  circu- 
lar encampment.  A  collection  of  black  tents 
thus  arranged  is  said  to  present  a  pleasing  ap- 
pearance to  the  distant  tniTelier.  This  bMati* 
fuJly  illustrates  the  passageir

PSYCHOLOGY^ 


Horrible  Narrative  of  a  Teraon  wBS 
was  Bviried  Alive. 

"Perhaps,"  says  be,  "  none  of  you  have  ever 
met  with  a  more  extraordinary  sdventoTe  than 
what  I  hare  now  to  relate.  It  happened  to 
myself;  I  do  not  therefore  ask  or  expect  yon 
to  believe  it,  nor  can  the  (eelingawith  which  I 
was  affected  be  imagined  without  experiencing 
the   impressions  of  the  same  awful  circum- 

stanoes. 

"  I  had  been  for  sometime  ill  of  a  low  and 
lingering  fever.  My  strength  gradually  wasted 
but  the  sense  of  life  seemed  to  become  more 
and  more  aonte  as  my  corporeal  powers  became 
weaker.  J, could  see  by  the  looks  of  the  doctor 
that  he  despaired  of  my  recovery  ;  and  the  soft 
and  whispering  sorrow  of  my  friends,  taught 
me  that  I  had  nothing  to  hope. 

"  One  day,  towards  the  evening,  the  crisis 
took  place.    I  was  seized  with  a  strange  and 
indescribable  quivering,— a  rushing  sound  was 
in  my  ears,— I  saw  around  my  couch  innumer- 
able strange  faces  ;    they  were  bright  and 
visionary,  and  without  bodies.    There  was  light 
and  solemnity,  and  I  tried  to  move,  but  could 
not.     For  ft  short  time  a  terrible  confusion 
overwhelmed  me,  and  when   it  passed  o3,  all 
my  recollection  returned  with  the  most  perfect 
distinctness,  but  the  power  of  metion  had 
departed.    I  heard   the  sound  of  weeping  at 
my  pillow,  and  the  voice  of  the  nurse  say, '  he 
is  dead.'     I  cannot  describ*  what  I  felt  at 
these  words.    I  exerted  my  utmost  powers  of 
volition  to  stir  myself,  but  I  could  not  move 
even  an  eyelid.    After  a  short  pause,  my  friend 
drew  near  ;  and,  sobbing   and   convulsed  with 
grief,  drew  his  hand  over  my  face,  and  closed 
my  eyes.    The  world  was  then  darkened,  but  I 
could  still  hear,  and  feel,  and  suffer. 

"  When  my  eyes  were  closed,  I  heard  by  my 
attendants,  that  my  friend  had  left  the  room, 
and  I  BOJn  after  found  the  undertakers  were 
preparing  to  habit  me  in  the  garment*  of  the 
grave.  Their  thoughtlessness  was  more  awful 
than  the  gri«f  of  my  friends.  They  langhcd  at 
one  another  as  they  turned  m«  from  side  to 
Bide,  and  treated  what  they  believed  a  corpse, 
with  the  most  appalling  ribaldry. 

"  When  they  had  laid  me  out,  these  wretches 
retired,  and  the  degrading  formality  of  affected 
mourning  commenced.  For  three  days  a 
number  of  friends  called  to  see  me.  I  heard 
them,  in  low  accents,  speak  of  what  I  was ;  and 
more  than  one  touched  me  with  his  finger.  On 
the  third  day,  some  of  them  talked  of  the  smell 
of  curruption  in  the  room. 

"  The  coffin  was  procured— I  was  lifted  and 
laid  in— my  friend  placed  my  head  on  what  was 
deemed  its  last  pillow,  and  I  felt  his  tears  drop 
on  my  face. 

«<  When  all  who  had  any  peculiar  Interest  in 
me,  had  for  a  short  time  looked  at  me  in  the 
coffin,  I  heard  them  retire  ;  and  the  undertak- 
er's men  placed  the  lid  on  the  coffin,  and 
screwed  it  down.  There  were  two  of  them 
present ;  one  had  occasion  to  go  away  before 
the  task  was  done.  I  heard  the  fellow  who  was 
left  begin  to  whistle  as  ho  turned  the  screw- 
nails  ;  but  he  checked  himself,  and  completed, 
the  work  in  silence. 

"  I  was  then  left  alone,— every  one  shunned 
the  room.    I  knew,  however,  that  1  was  not 
yet  buried  ;  and  though  darkened  and  motion 
Jbbb,  1  had  still  hope,  but  this  was  not  permitted 
long.    The  day  of  interment  arrived— I  felt 
the  coffin  lifted  and  borne  away— I  heard  and 
felt  it  placed  in  the  hearse.    There  was  a  crowd 
of  people  around ;  some  of  them  spoke  sor- 
rowfully of  me.    The  hearie  began  to  move- 
I  knew  that  it  owried  me  to  the  grave    It 


halted,  Aoa  the  eoftn  wa«  taken  out— I  fdt 
my*lf  carried  on  the  shoulders  of  men,  by  the 
iBequality  of  the  tadHwi— »  pwae^raaed-I 
heard  the  cords  of  the  coffin  moved— I  felt  it 
swing  aa  dependent  by  them— it  was  lowered 
and  rested  on  the  bottom  of  the  grave-the 
cords  were  dropped  upon  the  lid-I  heard 
them  fall— draadful  was  the  effort  I  then  made 
to  exert  the  power  of  action,  but  my  whole 
frame  was  immoveable. 

"  Soon  after,  a  few   handfnls  of  earth  were 
thrown  upon  the  coffin.    1  hen  there  was  an- 
other pause;    after   which   the   shovel   was 
employed,  and  the  sound  of  the  rattling  mould, 
as  it  covered  me,  was  far  more  tremendous 
than  thunder.    But  I  could  make  no  effort. 
The  sound  gradually  became  less  and  less,  and 
by  a  surging  reverberation  in  the  coffin,  I  know 
that  the  grave  was  filled  up,  and  that  the  sex- 
ton was  treading  in  the  earth  and  slapping  the 
grave  with  the  flat  of  his  spade.    This  too 
ceased,  and  then  all  was  silent. 

"  I  ha^  no  means  of  knowing  the  lapse  of 
time  ;  and  the  silence  continued .    This  is  death, 
thought  I,  and  I  am  doomed  to  remain  in  the 
earth  till  the  resurrection.    Presently  the  body 
will   fall  into   corruption,  and  the  epicurean 
worm,  that  i'l  only  satisfied  with  the  flesh  of 
man,  will  come  to  partake  of  the  banquet  that 
has  been  prepared  for  him  with  so  much  soli- 
citude and  care.    In  the  contemplation  of  this 
hideous  thought,  I  heard  a  low  and  undersound 
in  the  earth  over  me,  and  I  fancied  that  the 
worms  and  the  reptiles  of  death  were  coming— 
that  the  mole  and  the  rat  of  the  grave  would 
soon  be  upon  me.     The  sound  continued  to 
grow  louder  and  nearer.     Can  it  be  possible,  I 
thought,  that  my  friends  suspect  they  have 
buried  me  too  soon  ?    The  hope  was  truly  like 
light  bursting  through  the  gloom  of  death. 

"  The  sound  ceased,  and  presently  I  felt  the 
hands  of  some  dreadful  being  working  about 
my  throat.  They  dragged  me  out  of  the  coffin 
by  the  head.  I  felt  again  the  living  air,  but  it 
was  piercingly  cold  ;  and  I  waa  carried  swiftly 
away— I  thought  to  judgment,  perhaps  per- 
dition 


persoo  I  saw  was  the  doctor  who  had  »tt«aed 
me.  But  Btill  I  waa  as  dead ;  I  could,  however, 
4i«»«r  among  the  students  the  faces  of  many 
with  whom  I  was  familiar  ;  and  when  my  eyas 
were  opened.  I  heard  my  name  pronounced  by 
several  of  the  students,  with  an  accent  of  awe 
and  compassion,  and  a  wish  that  it  had  been 
Bome  ather  subject. 

«'When  they  bad  satisfied  thcmselvefl  with 
th^  galvanic  phenomena,  the  demonstrator  took 
the  knife  and  pierced  me  on  the  bosom  with 
the  point.  I  felt  a  dreadful  crackling,  as  it 
were,  throughout  my  whole  frame ;  a  convuls- 
ive  shuddering  instantly  followed,  and  a  shriek 
of  horror  rose  from  all  present.  The  ice  of 
death  was  broke  up-my  trance  was  ended. 
The  utmost  exertions  were  made  to  restore  me, 
and  in  the  course  of  an  hour  I  waa  in  the  full 
possession  of  all  my  faculties." 


"  When  borne  to  some  distance,  I  was  then 
thrown  down  like  a  clod— it  was  not  upon  the 
ground.  A  moment  after,  I  found  myself  on 
a  carriage  ;  and,  by  the  interchange  of  two  or 
three  brief  sentences,  I  discovered  that  I  was 
ia  the  hands  of  two  of  those  robbers  who  live 
by  plundering  the  grave,  and  selling  the  bodies 
of  parents,  and  children,  and  friends.  One  of 
the  men  sung  scraps  of  bachanal  and  obscene 
songs,  as  the  cart  ratUed  over  the  pavement 
of  the  streets. 

"  When  it  halted  I  was  lifted  out,  and  I  soon 
perceived,  by  the  closeness  of  the  air,  and  the 
change  of  temperature,  that  I  was  carried  into 
a  room,  and,  being  rudely  stripped  of  my 
shroud,  was  placed  naked  on  a  table.  By  the 
conversation  of  the  two  fellows  with  the  servant 
who  admitted  them,  I  learnt  that  I  was  that 
night  to  be  dissected. 

•'  My  eyes  were  still  shut,  I  saw  nothing ; 
but  in  a  short  time  I  heard,  by  the  bustle  in 
the  room,  that  the  students  of  anatomy  were 
assembling.  Some  of  them  came  round  the 
table,  and  examined  me  minutely.  They  were 
pleased  to  find  that  bo  good  a  subject  had  been 
procured.    The  demonstrator  himself  at  last 

canie  in. 

"  Previous  to  banning  the  dissection,  he 
proposed  to  try  on  me  some  galvanic  experi 
Bient,  and  an  apparatus  was  arranged  for  that 
service.  The  first  shock  vibrated  through  all 
my  nerves ;  they  rung  and  jangled  like  the 
strings  of  a  harp.  The  students  expressed 
their  admiration  at  the  convulsive  effect.  The 
second  shock  thr«w  my  eyea  open,  and  the  first

tent In  the  canon  which  the   Church  of  Qod 
receives.    The  reason  of  which  I  can  accbunt 
for  in  no  other  way,  than  by  supposing  that 
those  very  persons  to  whom  the  Holy  Spirit 
revealed  those  things  which  are  of  the  highest 
authority  in  religion,  sometimes  wrote  only  m 
faithful  historians,  and  at  other  times  as  pro- 
phets nn46r  the  influence  of  Divine  inspiration  ; 
and  that   these  writings  are  so  different  from 
each  other,  that  the  one  sort  are  to  be  imputed 
to  themselves  as  the  authors,  the  other  to  Cod, 
as  speaking  by  them  ;  the  former  are  of  service 
to  increase  our  knowledge,  the  other  of  author- 
ity in   religion,  and  canonical."     In  addition 
to  this  observation,  we  may  remark,  that  the 
books  of  prophecy  generally  have  their  authors- 
names  expressed,  and  commonly  they  are  re. 
peated  in  the  books  themselves.    But  in  the 
historical  books  there  was  not  the  same  reason 
for  specifying  the  names  of  their  authors  ;  be- 
cause in  matters  of  fact  which  are  past,  an 
author  may  easily  be  disproved,  if  he  relates 
what  is  false  concerning  his  own  times,  or  con- 
cerning times  of  which  there  are  memorials  still 
extant.    But  the  credit  of  prophecies  concern- 
ing things  which  are  not  to  come  to  pass  for  a 
very  long  time  must  depend  on  the  mission  and 
authority  of  the  prophet  only ;  and  therefore  it 
was  necessary  that  the  names  of  the  prophets 
should  be  annexed,  in  order  that  their  predic- 
tions might  be  depended  upoa,  when  they  were 
known  to  be  delivered  by  men,  who,  by  other 
predictions  already  fulfilled,  had  shown  them- 
selves to  be  true  prophetB. 

4.  The  bare  citation  of  any  book  in  an 
allowedly  canonical  writing  is  not  suffieientto 
prove  that  such  book  ever  was  canonical. 

6   Lastly,  we  may  observe  that  moat  of  the 
pieces  supposed  to  be  lost  are  still  remaining 
embodied   in -the    Scriptures,    though  under 
different  appellations  ;  and  that  such  as  are  not 
to  be  found  there  were  never  designed  for 
religious  instruction,  nor  are  they  essential  to 
the  happiness  of  mankind.    In  illustration  of 
this  remark,  we  may  adduce  the  following 
examples,  which  are  taken  exclusively  from  the 
Old  Testament.    Thus—  ^ 

[i]  The  Book  of  tht  Covenant,  mentioned  in 
Exod.  xxiv.  7..  which  is  supposed  to  be  lost,  is 
not  a  distinct  book  from  the  body  of  onr  laws ; 
for  whoever  impartially  examines  that  passage 
will  find  that  the  book  referred  to  is  nothing 
else  but  a  collection  of  such  injunctions  and 
exhortations  as  are  expressly  laid  down  in  the 
four  preceding  chapters. 

[ii.]  The  Book  of  the  Wars  of  tht  Lord, 
cited  in  Num.  xxi.  U.,  and  supposed  also  to 
be  lost,  is,  in  the  opinion  of  an  eminent  critic, 
that  verv  record,  whir ii  ni%nn  the  defeat  of  the 


Amalekitee,  Moses  waa  commanded  to  make 
as  a  memorial  of  it,  and  to  rehearse  xt  mtht 
ears  of  Joshua.  Bo  that  it  seems  to  be  nothing 
more  thiai  •  short  account  of  wat  v  .j^i 
together  with  some  directions  for  Joshua's 
private  nae  and  conduct  in  the  management  of 
the  Bubwquent  war,  but  in  no  respect  whatever 
dictated  by  divine  inspiration,  and  consequently 
no  part  of  the  canonical  Scriptures. 

[iii  ]  The   Book  of  Jasher,  mentioned   m 
Josh.  X.  13.,  is  supposed  by  some  to  be  the 
same  with  the  Book  of  Judgee,  because  we 
1  fiod  mention  therein  of  the  sun's  standing  still ; 
but  the  conjecture  of  Joeepfius  seems  to  be 
better  founded,  viz  :  that  it  was  composedof 
certain  records   (kept  in  a  safe  place  at  th»t 
time,  and  afterwards  removed  into  the  temple,) 
which  contained  an  account  of  what  happened 
to  the  Jews  from  year  to  year,  and  particnlarlj 
of  the  sun's  standing  still,  and  also  directioal 
for  the  use  of  the  bow,  (see  2  Sam.  i.  18)  that 
is,  directions  for  instituting  archery  and  mmi 
teining  military  exercises.    So  that  this  «« 
not  the  work  of  an  inspired  person,  but  oil 
some  common  historiographer,  who  wrote  tiul 
annals  of  his  own  time,  and  might  therefottl 
deserve  the  name  of  Jasher,  or  the  nprightf 
because  what  he  wrote  was  generally  deemed.! 
true  and  authentic  account  of  all  the  eveotil 
and  occurrences  which  had  then  happened. 

[iv.l  Once  more,  the  several  Books  of  Sd 
omon,  mentioned  in  1  Kings  iv.  32,  33,  wa 
no  part  of   the   canonical    Scripturss.    M 
.  Three  thousand  Proverbs'  were  perhaps  < 
spoken,    not    committed    to    writing. 
'  Smgs;  which  were  one  thousand  and  pti 
number,  were  in  all  probability  his  juveo 
compositions ;  and  his  universal    history 
vegetables,  and  that  of  animals  of  all  Hm 
belonged  to  philosophy.    It  was  not  neceaa. 
for  every  one  to  be  acquainted  with  them ;  i 
though  the  loss  of  them  (considering  the 
equalled  wisdom  conferred  upon  their  autb 
is  to  be  deplored,  yet  it  ia  a  loss  which  d 
the  busy  investigators  of  nature  have  cause 

lament.  J 

Upon  the  whole,  therefore,  we  may  concli^ 
that  if  any  books  of  the  Old  Testament*^ 
to  be  wanting  in  our  present  canon,  theyj 
either  such  as  lie  unobserved  under  oli 
denominations  ;  or  they  are  such  as  never  »j 
accounted  canonical,  such  as  contained^ 
points  essential  to  the  salvation  of  man,« 
consequently  such  of  which  we  may  safely! 
ignorant  here,  and  for  which  we  shall  neveij 
responsible  hereafter.

DOMESTIC  ECONOMY. 


Qualities  of  the  Animal  and  Vegetable 
Food  conunonly  used  in  Diet. 
BBBr.--WheB  this  io  the  flesh  ot  a  bulLock 
of  middle  age,  it  affords  good  and  strong  nour- 
ishment, and  is  pecnliariy  well  adapted  to  those 
who  labor,  or  take  much  exercise.  It  will  of- 
ten sit  easy  upon  stomachs  that  can  digest  no 
other  kind  of  food;  and  its  fat  is  almost  as  easi- 
ly digested  as  that  of  veal. 

Vkal  is  a  proper  food  for  personfl  recovering 
from  indisposition,  and  may  even  be  given  to 
febrile  patients  in  a  very  weak  state,  but  it  af- 
fords less  nourishment  than  the  flesh  of  the 
same  animal  in  a  state  of  maturity.  The  fat 
of  it  is  lighter  than  that  of  any  other  animal, 
and  shows  the  least  disposition  to  putrescency. 
Veal  ia  a  very  sutable  food  in  costive  habits; 
but  of  all  meat  it  is  the  least  calcuteted  for  re- 
moving acidity  from  the  stomach. 

MirrroN,  from  the  age  of  four  to  six  years, 
and  fed  on  dry  pasture,  is  an  excellent  meat. 
It  is  of  a  middle  kind  between  the  firmness  of 
beef  and  the  tenderness  of  veal.  The  lean  part 
of  mutton,  however,  is  the  most  nourishing  and 
conducive  to  health;  the  fat  being  hard  of  di- 
gestion. The  head  of  the  sheep,  especially 
when  divested  of  the  skin,  is  verytenedr;  and 
tbefcct,  on  acconnt  of  jelly  they  contain,  are 
highly  nutritive. 

Lahb  is  not  so  nourishing  as  mutton;  but  it 
ia  light,  and  extremely  suitable  to  delicate  stom- 
achs. 

House  lamb,  though  much  esteemed  by 
many,  possesses  the  bad  qualities  common  to 
the  flesh  of  all  animals  reared  in  an  unnatural 
manner. 

Milk  is  of  very  different  consistence  in .  diff- 
erent animals;  but  that  of  cewa  being  the  kind 
nsed  in  diet,  is  at  present  the  object  of  our  at- 
tention.   Milk  where  it  agrees  with  the  stom- 
ach, affords  excellent  nourishment  for  those  who 
are  weak,  and  cannot  digest  other  aliments.  It 
does  not  readily  become  putrid,  but  it  is  apt  to 
become  sour  on  the  stomach,  and  thence  to 
produce  flatulence,  heartburn,  or  gripes,  and 
in  some  constitutions  a  looseness.    The  best 
milk  is  from  a  cow  at  three  or  four  years  of 
age,  about  two  months  after  producing  a  calf. 
It  is  lighter,  but  more  watery,  than  the  milk  of 
iheep  and  goats;  while  on  the  other  hand,  it  ia 
more  thick  and  heavy  than  the  milk  of  asses 
and  mares,  which  are  next  in  consistence  to 

human  milk. 

On  account  of  the  acid  which  is  generated 
after  digestion,  milk  coagulates  in  all  stonnachs; 
bat  the  caseous  or  cheesy  part  is  again  dissolv- 
ed by  the  digestive  juices,  and  rendered  fit  for 
the  purposes  of  nutrition.  It  is  improper  to 
eat  acid  substances  with  milk,  as  these  would 
tend  to  prevent  the  doe  digestion  of  it. 

Cream  is  very  nourishing,  but,  on  acconnt 
of  its  fatness,  is  difficult  to  be  digested  in  weak 
stomachs.  Violent  exercise,  after  eating  it 
will  in  a  little  time,  convert  it  into  butter. 

BuTTEB.— Some  writers  inveigh  against  the 
nae  ot  butter  as  universally  pernicious;  but  they 
might  with  equal  reason  condemn  all  vegetable 
oils  which  form  a  considerable  part  of  diet  in 
the  southern  climates,  and  seem  to  have  been 
beneficially  intended  by  nature  for  that  pur. 
pose.    Butter,  like  every  other  oily  subBtanoe, 
has  doubtless  a  relaxing  quality,  and  if  long  re- 
tained  in  the  stomach    is  liable  to  become 
rancid;  but,  if  eaten  in  moderation,  it  will  not 
produce  those  effects.    It  is,  however,  improper 
in  bilious  constitutions.     The  worst  conse- 
quence produced  by  butter,  when  eaten  with 
bread,  ia,  that  it  obatmcta  the  discharge  of 
.he  saliva,  in  the  act  of  mastication  or  chew- 


ing; by  which  means  the  food  is  not  bo 
easily  digested.  To  obviate  this  effect,  it  would 
be  commendable  practice  at  breakfast,  first  to 
eat  flome  dry  bread,  and  chew  it  well,  till  the 
galiyry  plnridHwerff  exhausted. and  afterwards 
to  eat  it  with  butter.  By  these  meana  such  a 
quanity  of  saliva  might  be  carried  into  the 
stomach  as  would  be  aufflcient  for  the  purpose 
of  digestion. 

Cheesb  is  likewise  reprobated  by  many  as 
extremely  unwholesome.  It  is  doubtless  not 
easy  of  digestion;  and  when  eaten  in  a  great 
quanity,  may  overload  the  stomach;  but  if 
taken  sparingly,  its  tenacity  may  be  dissolved 
by  the  digestive  juice,  and  it  may  yield  a  whole 
some,  though  not  very  nourishing  chyle.  Toasts 
ed  cheese  is  agreeable  to  most  palates,  but  it 
is  rendered  more  indigestible  by  that  process. 

Fowls.- The  flesh  of  birds  differs  in  quality 
according  to  the  food  on  which  they  live.  Such 
as  feed  upon  grain  and  berries,  afford,  in  gener- 
al, good  nourishment;  if  we  except  geese  and 
ducks,  which  are  hard  of  digestion,  especially 
the  former.  A  young  hen  or  chicken  is  tender 
and  delicate  food,  and  extremely  well  adapted 
where  the  digestive  powers  are  weak.  But  of 
all  tame  fowls,  the  capon  is  the  most  nutritious. 
Tdbkeys,  &c.— Turkey,  as  well  as  Guinea 
or  India  fowls,  afford  a  substantial  nutriment, 
but  are  not  so  easy  of  digestion  as  the  common 
domestic  fowls.  In  all  birds  those  parts  are 
the  most  firm,  which  are  most  exercised;  in  the 
small  birds,  therefore  the  wings,  and  in  the 
larger  kinds  the  legs,  are  commonly  the  most 
difficult  of  digestion. 

Eaos.— The  eggs  of  birds  are  a  simple  and 
wholesome  aliment.    Those  of  the  turkey  are 
superior  in  all  the  qualifications  of  food.    The 
white  of  egga  is  dissolved  in  a  warm  tempera- 
ture, but  by  much   heat  it  is  rendered  tough 
and  hard.    The  yolk  contains  much  oil,  and 
is  highly  nourishing  but  has  a  strong   tendency 
to  putrefaction;  on  which  account,  egga  are  im- 
proper for  people  of  weak  stomachs,  especially 
when  they  are  not  quite  fresh.    Eggs  boiled 
hard  or  fried  are  difficult  of  digestion,  and  are 
rendered  still  more  indigestable  by  the  addition 
of  butter.    All  eggs  require  a  sufficient  quant- 
ity of  salt,  to  promote  their  solution  in  the 
stomach.

History  reports  numbers  of  harrowing  facts 
of  persons,  apparently  dead,  being  buried  alive. 
We  have  persued  a  whole  book  of  authenti- 
cated Taci8i>nThe  But>iect,  to  which,  if  only  half 
of  the  cases  that  ever  occurred  would  be  added, 
the  reports  might  form  quite  a  library.  On 
transferring  the  remains  of  a  city  church-yard 
in  Poland,  without  the  limits  of  the  city,  quite 
a  number  of  the  deposited  were  positively 
turned  partly  or  wholy,  which  is  accountable 
only  to  the  fact  of  their  hajving  been  buried 
alive,  and  dying  in  their  grave  under  pangs 
and  agony.  A  cardinal  whose  name  we  can- 
not recollect,  came  to  himself  from  a  state  of 
trance,  under  the  knife  of  the  embalmer  :  but 
the  operation  bad  proceeded  to  far,  the  victim 
just  revived  again,  to  strike  tbe  knife  out  of 
his  hand  and  to  expire.  But  in  tbe  face  of 
these  facts,  we  know  of  people  amoug  whom 
the  multitude,  thinks  to  confer  a  grtat  favor 
upon  the  soul  of  the  deceased,  by  putting  its 
body  under  ground  as  goon  as  feasable  :  they 
confound  the  rcat  of  the  body  with  that  of  the 
soul.  Now  injunctions  for  early  burials  might 
have  emanated  even  from  Sages,  in  hot  climates, 
in  countries  subject  to  infcctiouj  iuflueucoa, 
where  the  enhaling  effluvia  might  generate 
sickness  and  other  evils,  who  would  try  to  pro- 
mote  snch  effects.     But  soch  laws  are  quite 


inequitable  to  our  climate,  and  it  is  tiniu 
that  we  follow  the  example  of  tb6  civilized 
nations  round  as,  and  keep  the  departed  at 
lea3t  twice  four  and  twenty  hours  or  even 
longer  above  ground,  there  being  no  positive 
symptoms  of  death,  except  actual  indications 
of  corruption.  Now  it  is  horrible  to  think  of 
burying  a  dear  wife,  husband;  parent,  child,  or 
friend  alive,  horrid,  and  yet  ignorance  has 
done  it  and  do  so  now. 

We  in  this  respect  commend  tbe  European 
governments  for  taking  matters  in  their  own 
hands,  and  compelling  by  acts  of  legislatures, 
not  to  bury  alive.  As  to  the  idea  of  the  soul's 
not  finding  rest  till  the  body  is  covered,  leaving 
this  to  rest  on  itself,  we  only  remark,  that  it 
is  not  sufficient  to  justify  probable  murder. 

Besides,  Jacob  who  with  the  eye  of  a  seer 
could  descry  the  remotest  future,  (read  Genisis 
Chap.  xlix)would  behave  allowed  his  remains 
to  consume  a  number  of  days  above  ground  ? 
and  Scripture  expressely  Eays  that  be  even 
oommande<|  thom  to  be  carried  to  (Janaan,  and 
to  be  kept  above  ground  during  tbe  time  of 
the  embalming,  whioh  was  70  days  after  that 
of  conveyance. 

Never  let  us  think  that  a  just  God  will  have 
constituted  laws  by  which  the  soul  is  to  suffer, 
if  the  body  is  not  disposed  of  according  to  our 
notions  of  properity,  viz.  by  burial. 

Such,  with  several  other  customs  for  mourn- 
ing are  of  heathen  origin.  Tbe  Greeks  be- 
lieved that  the  soul  had  to  wander  onehnndi-ed 
years  without  being  able  to  be  set  over  the 
Styx,  (the  imaginary  river  which  souls  had  to 
be  ferried  over  before  they  entered  the  regions 
of  spirits,)  if  their  body  remained  unburied. 
This  superstition  was  dearly  paid  for  by 
Athens ;  their  Generals,  after  a  loss,  had  to 
leave  hastily,  without  being  able  to  bury  those 
who  had  fallen  in  battle.  On  their  return 
home,  they  were  arraigned,  condemned  and 
sentenced  ;  bat  a  year  after  Athens  had  no 
Generals  to  head  her  armies,  and  it  succumbed. 
[See  Mendelssohn's  Life  of  Socrates.]  Here, 
as  in  our  case,  the  law  was  intended  fur  good, 
but  it  was  not  applicable  to  the  case  in  ques- 
tion.   Thus  the  ancients   taught  us  to  bury 

early,  bat  it  was  intended  for  hot  climates, 
where  tbe  indication  of  death  hinted  to  above, 
tajies  place  a  few  hours  after  the  decease.  But 
DO safpi  weald  have  acted  so  in  our  country.

our  firat  page,  is  taken,  to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Claud* 
ius  Buchanan.  Considering  tbe  stationary 
state  of  affairs  in  the  East,  tbe  subjeot  loses 
nothing  on  aooonnt  of  the  time  which  hoe 
elapsed  since  tbe  report  was  first  made.  Kor 
dare  we  presume  the  fact  to  be  known  to  the 
general  reader,  though  jfTls  a'ready  embodied 
in  the  histories  of  Josephus  and  others.  We 
therefore  hope  that  this  account  will  prove 
gratifying  and  instructive  to  our  readers. 

Fully  to  appreciate  the  value  of  the  docu- 
ments brought  from  India,  and  now  deposited 
in  the  public  library  at  the  University  of  Cam- 
bridge, England,  we  must  have  the  history  of 
the  people  from  whom  we  have  received  them  ; 
and  this  we  will  now  give,  mainly  in  the 
words  of  Dr.  B. 

"While  the  author  was  in  the  East,  the 
state  of  the  Jewa,  who  are  dispersed  in  differ-- 
ent  countries,  frequently  occupied  his  thoughts. 
He  had  heard  that  they  existed  in  distinct  coN 
onies  in  certain  parts  of  India  ;  that  some  of 
them  had  arrived  long  before  the  Christian 
era,  and  had  remained  in  the  midst  of  th*  Hins 
dooe,  to  this  time,  a  distinct  and  separate 
people,  persecuted  by  the  native  princes,  from 
ago  to  age,  and  yet  not  destroyed  ;  '  burning,' 
like  the  bush  of  Moses,  and  '  not  consumed  ;< 
and  h«  had  a  strong  desire  'to  turn  aside  and 
see  this  great  sight'  His  mind  was  impressed 
with  the  conviction  that  their  preservation,  in 
such  a  variety  of  regions,  and  under  such  a 
diversity  of  circumstances,  eould  be  only  ef- 
fected by  the  interposition  of  divine  provi» 
dence,  whioh  reserved  them,  thus  distinct,  for 
some  special  and  important  purpose. 

"  In  bis  memorial  respecting  the  Syrian 
Christians,  presented  to  Marquis  Wellealey, 
the  author  also  noticed  tbe  existence  of  an 
ancient  colony  of  Jews  on  the  coast  of  Mala- 
bar, particularly  at.  Cochin  ;  and  as  this  place 
had  then  become  a  part  of  the  British  empire, 
by  conquest  from  the  Dutch,  Lord  William 
Bentinck,  then  Governor  of  Madras,  who  had 
received  letters  from  the  supreme  government, 
was  pleased  to  direct  the  civil  officer,  who  had 
charge  of  the  department  of  Cochin,  to  afford 
him  every  aid  in  the  prosecution  of  hi"  re- 
searches. His  first  tour  to  Cochin  was  ia  No-< 
vember,  1806,  and  he  remained  in  the  country 
till  Fwbruary,  1807.  Ho  again  visited  it  in 
January,  1808.     He  writes  as  follows: 

Cochin,  Feb.  4, 1807. 
"I  have  now  been  in  Cochin,  or  its  vicinity, 
for  upwards  of  two  months,  and  have  got  well 
acquainted  with  the  Jews.  They  do  not  live 
in  the  city  of  Cochin,  but  in  a  town  about  a 
mile  distaut  from  it,  called  Jews'  Town.  It  is 
almost  wholly  inhabited  by  the  Jews,  who 
have  two  respectable  synagogues.  Among 
them  are  some  very  intelligent  men,  who  arc 
not  ignorant  of  the  present  history  of  nations. 
There  are  also  Jews  here  from  remote  parts  of 
Asia,  80  that  this  is  the  fountain  of  intelligence 
concerning  that  people  in  the  East  j  there  be- 
ing constant  communication  by  ships  with  the 
Red  Sea,  the  Persian  Gulf,  and  the  mouths  of 
the  Indus.  The  resident  Jews  are  divided  into 
two  classes,  called  the  Jerusalem,  or  White 
Jews,  and  the  ancient,  or  Black  Jews.  The 
White  Jews  reside  at  this  place.  The  Black 
Jews  have  also  a  synagogue  here  ;  but  the 
great  body  of  that  tribe  inhabit  towns  in  the 
interior  of  the  province.  I  have  now  seen  most 
of  both  classes.  My  inquiries  referred  chiefly 
to  their  antiquity,  their  manuscript},  and  their 
sentiments  coricerning  the  present  state  of  their 
nation. 

THE  JRRUSALES,    OR  WHITE  JEWS. 

"  On   my  inquiry  into  the  antiquity  of  the 
White  Jews,  they  first  delivered  to  me  a  nar- 


rative, in  the  Hebrew  language,  of  their  arrival 
in  India,  which  has  been  handed  down  to  them 
from  their  fathers  ;  and  then  exhibited  their 
m^tit  brass  piste,  contstirtng  their  charter 
and  freedom  of  residence,  given  by  a  king  of 
Malabar.  The  following  is  the  narrative  of 
the  events  relating  to  their  first  arrival : 

" '  After  the  second  temple  was  destroyed, 
(which  may  God  speedily  rebuild !)  our  fathers, 
dreading  the  conqueror's  wrath,  departed  from 
J^usalem,  a  numerous  body  of  men,  women, 
priests,  and  Levites,  and  came  into  this  land. 
There  were  among  them  men  of  repute  for 
learning  and  wisdom  ;  and  God  gave  the  people 
favor  in  the  sight  of  the  king  who  at  that  time 
reigned  here,  and  he  granted  them  a  place  to 
dwell  in,  called  Cranganor.  He  allowed  them 
a  patriarchal  jurisdiction  within  the  district, 
with  certain  privileges  of  nobility ;  and  the 
royal  grant  was  engraved,  according  to  the 
custom  of  those  days,  on  a  plate  of  brass. 
This  was  done  in  the  year  from  the  creation  of 
the  world  4250,  (A.  D.  490,)  and  this  plate  of 
brass  we  still  have  in  possession.  Our  fore- 
fathers continued  at  Cranganor  for  about  a 
thousand  years,  and  the  number  of  heads  who 
governed  were  seventy-two.  Soon  after  oar 
settlement  other  Jews  followed  us  from  Judea  ; 
and  among  these  came  that  man  of  great  wis 
dom,  Rabbi  Samuel,  a  Levite  of  Jerusalem^ 
with  his  son.  Rabbi  Jehuda  Levita.  They 
brought  with  them  the  silver  trmmpcts  made 
use  of  at  the  time  of  the  Jubilee,  wllich  were 
saved  when  the  second  temple  wtis  (destroyed  ; 
and  we  have  heard  from  our  fathers  that  there 
were  engraven  upon  those  trumpets  the  letters 
of  the  inefiable  Name.  There  joined  ua  also 
from  Spain  and  other  places,  from  time  to 
time,  certain  tribes  of  Jews  who  had  heard  of 
our  prosperity.  But,  at  last,  discord  arising 
among  ourselves,  one  of  our  chiefs  called  to  his 
assistance  an  Indian  king,  who  came  apes- us 
with  a  great  army,  destroyed  our  houses,  pal- 
aces, and  strong  holds ;  dispossessed  us  of 
Cranganor,  killed  part  of  us,  and  carried  part 
into  captivity.  By  these  massacres  we  were 
reduced  to  a  small  number.  Some  of  the  ex- 
iles came  and  dwelt  at  Cochin,  where  we  have 
remained  ever  since,  suflTeriog  great  changes 
from  time  to  time.  There  are  among  as 
some  of  the  children  of  Israel  (Benilsrael,) 
who  came  from  the  country  of  Ashkenaz,  from 
Egypt,  from  Tsoba,  and  other  places,  besides 
those  who  formerly  inhabited  this  country.' 

"  The  native  annals  of  Malabar  confirm  the 
foregoing  account  in  the  principal  circtlffl* 
stances,  as  do  the  Mohammedan  histories  of 
the  later  ages  ;  for  the  Mohammedans  have 
been  settled  here  in  great  numbers  since  tbe 
eighth  centary. 

"The  desolaUon  of  Cranganor  the  Jews 
describe  as  being  like  the  desolation  of  Jeru- 
salem in  luiuiaturc.  They  were  first  received 
into  the  country  with  some  favor  and  confi- 
dence, agreeably  to  the  tenor  of  the  general 
prophecy  concerning  the  Jews ;  for  no  country 
was  to  reject  them :  and  after  they  had  ob- 
tained some  wealth,  and  attracted  the  notice  of 
men,  they  were  precipitated  to  the  lowest  abyss 
of  human  suflering  and  reproach.  The  recital 
of  the  snflerings  of  the  Jews  at  Cranganor  re- 
sembles much  that  of  the  Jews  at  Jerosalem, 
as  given  by  Josephus. 

'•  I  BOW  requested  they  would  show  me  theij 
brass  plate.  Having  been  given  by  a  native 
king,  it  is  written,  of  course,  in  the  Malabaric 
language  and  character ;  and  is  now  so  old 
that  it  cannot  be  well  nnderstood.  The  Jews 
preserve  a  Hebrew  translation  of  it,  which 
they  presented  to  me  :  but  the  Hebrew  itself 
is  very  difficult,  and  they  do  not  agree  among 
themselves  as  to  the  meaning  of  some  worHa-

T  Mvft  f  mpljoyed^  hy  thear  pcrmisaioii,  an  eit. 
graver  at  Cochin,  to  execute  a  fac-simile  of 
the  orifirioal  plate,  on  copper.    This  ancient 


document  begins  in  the  following  manner,  ac- 
cording to  the  Hebrew  translation  :♦ 

" '  In  the  peace  of  God,  the  King,  which 
bath  made  the  earth  according  to  his  pleasure. 
To  this  God,  I  AIRVI  BRAHMIN,  have 
lifted  up  my  hand,  and  have  granted  by  this 
deed,  which  many  hundred  thousand  years  shall 

run,  I,  dwelling  in   Cranganor,    have 

granted,  in  the  thirty-sixth  year  of  my  reign, 
in  the  strength  of  power  I  have  granted,  in 
the  strength  of  power  I  have  given  in  inherit- 
ance, to  JOSEPH  RABBAN' 

"  Then  follow  the  privileges  of  nobility  ; 
such  as  permission  to  ride  on  the  elephant ;  to 
havs  a  herald  to  go  before  to  announce  the 
name  and  dignity  ;  to  have  tbe  lamp  of  tbe 
dny  ;  to  walk  on  carpets  spread  upon  the  earth ; 
and  to  have  trumpets  and  cymbals  sound  before 
him.     King  Airvi  then  appoints  Joseph  Rab- 
ban  to  be  '  chief  and  governor  of  the  houses  of 
congregation  (the  synagogues)  and  of  certain 
districts,  and  of  the  sojourners  in  them.'   What 
proves  tbe  importance  of  the  Jews  at  the  pe- 
riod when  this   grant  was  made,  is,  that  it  is 
signed  by  seven  kings  as  witnesses.    '  And  to 
this  are  witnesses,  king  Bivada  Cubertin  Mit- 
adin,  and  he  is  king  of   Travancore.     King 
Airle  Nada  Mana  Vikriin,  and  he  is  the  Ifam- 
oria.     KingVeloda  Nada  Archarin   Shatin, 
and  he  is  king  of  Argot.'    Tbe  remaining  four 
king  are  those  of  Palgatcherr,  Colastri,  Carbi^ 
nath,  aod  Varachangur.    There  is  no  date  in 
this  document,  further  than  what  may  be  col- 
lected from  the   reign  of  the  prince  and   the 
names  of  the  royal  witnesses.     Dates  are  not 
osnal  in  old  Malabaric  writings.    One  fact  is 
evident,  that  the  Jews  must  have  existed  a 
considerable  time  in  the  country  before  they 
coald  have  obtained  such  a  grant.    The  tradi- 
tion before  mentioned  assigns  for  the  date  of 
the  transaction,  the  year  of  tbe  creation  4250, 
which  is,  in  Jewish  computation,  A.  D.  490. 
It  is  well  known  that  the  famous  Malabaric 
king,   Ceram  Perumal,  made  grants  to  the 
Jews,  Christians,  and  Mohammedans  during 
bis  reign  ;  but  that  prince  flourished  in  the 
eighth  or  ninth  century.

Affectionate  Advioe  to  a 
Couple. 
[Continued  from  p.  11.] 
Cultivate  an  Amiable   Temper. 

After  all  your  care,  perhaps,  some  occasional 
effects  of  your  respective  weaknesses  will  occur. 
Yet  it  is  not  a  few  eruptions  of  this  sort,  that 
will  throw  you  back  in  the  cultivation  of  good 
nature,  if  yoa  can  learn  to  make  due  allowance 
for  constitutional  infirmity  in  each  other.  At- 
tend, therefore,  to  this  plain  lesson.  It  will 
have  its  advantage  in  suppressing  an  unhappy 
temper  in  many  instances.  Where  there  is  a 
readiness  to  make  this  wise  and  humane  allow- 
ance, the  heart  will  be  no  more  alienated  by  a 
little  sally  of  temper  than  by  a  fit  of  epilepsy. 
Tbe  paroxysm  in  either  case  will  call  forth  the 
compassion  of  the  spectator. 

Be   it  remembered,  however,  that  we  mast 
not  be  called  upon  too  frequently  for  this  al- 
lowance ;  and  that  it  will  hardly  ever  be  grant- 
ed, unless  the  tenor  of  life  be  such,  as  forbids 
a  severe  construction  of  an  occasional  failure. 
It  is   indeed  the  tenor  of  life  that  preserves 
or  dtajtroys  afRsction.     It  is  not  a  few  briliiant 
expressions  of  love,  in  the  midst  of  constant 
nnkindness,  that  will  make  us  enjoy  the  mar- 
riage union  :  nor  is  it  a   few  deviations  from 
the  line  of  duty  that  will  render  it  unpleasant, 
while  the  general  course  of  life  is  expresBive  of 
native  goodness  and  unquestionable  affection. 
Make  a  point,  therefore,  of  disciplining  your 
own    temper  ;    and   be  assured,  that,  by  so 
doing,  tbe  connexion  which  you  have   formed 
will  be  more  than  tolerable ;  it  will  be  pleasing. 
The  recollection  of  it  at  some  period  distant 
from  its  commencement,  will  be  grateful :  not- 
withstanding there  may  some  things  occur  to 
you  in   this  retrospect,  which  you  will  wish 
had  been  otherwise. 

Let  me  entreat  you  to  bestow  all  the  pains 
on  this  point  which  it  may  require.  What 
equivalent  can  be  found  for  good  nature  ?  Let 
the  husband  be  sober  and  industrious  ;  let  the 
wife  be  chaste  and  frugal  :  by  these  virtues  you 
may  be  preserved  from  some  of  the  miseries 
which  wait  on  profligacy  and  extravagance  ; 
but  while  you  escape  these,  what  will  your 
house  be  without  good  nature  7  Not  a  home ! 
By  a  home,  we  understand  a  place  in  which 
the  mind  can  settle  ;  where  it  is  too  much  at 
ease  to  be  inclined  to  rove  :  a  refuge,  to  which 
we  flee  in  the  expectation  of  finding  those 
calm  pleasures,  those  soothing  kindnesses, 
which  are  tbe  sweetness  of  life. 

All  the  admonitions,  f^erefore,  that  I  might 
detail  on  the  article  of  temper,  may  be  com- 
prised in  this  short  precept;  Endeavor  to  make 
your  house  a  home  to  each  other.  Absence  will 
^hen  be  no  gratification  to  either  party.  By 
the  husband's  attending  to  this  precept,  bis 
return  will  be  welcomed  by  those  whom  he  left 
at  home.  By  the  wife's  observance  of  this 
maxim,  the  husband  will  return  with  a  pleasure 
equal  to  that  with  which  he  is  received.  "  The 
heart  of  her  husband  will  safely  trust  in  hers." 
Over  the  door  of  his  house  he  will  sec  written, 
"  Sacred  to  Peace  ;"  and  thither,  in  the  as- 
surance of  enjoying  that  repose  he  cannot  find 
in  the  world,  he  will  hasten  from  its  toils  and 
vexations. 


whstf  ver  b?  obt  sitmti^n,  tbyry  is  ftw*  thing 
iudispcnsably  necessary  to  oar  enjoyment  of 
the  happiness  it  is  capable  of  yielding :  we 
must  endeavor  to  acquit  ourselves  as  tbe  serv- 
aita  of  God  in  that  aitaation.    Thereby  we 
obtain  his  blessing  in  it ;  without  which,  no 
condition  can  long  be  either  safe  or  comfort- 
able.   IiBt*«be  situation  be  social  or  commer- 
cial ;  let  it  promise  little  or  much ;  let  the 
government  of  an  empire,  or  only  the  care  of 
a  family  be  committed  to  us,  the  observation 
holds  equally  true.    The  lot  lies  in  this  world, 
concerning  which  God  has  said  to  mankind, 
"  Thorns  and  briars  shall  it  bring  forth  unto 
you."     Piety,  however,  has  resources  in  a 
world  lying  under  such  a  sentence.    I  persuade 
myself  that  yon  mean  to  adopt  the  ruL's  I  have 
suggested  to  you  ;  yet  I  should  not  expect 
them  to  be  long  followed,  if  1  doubted  of  your 
having  the  fear  of  God  in  your  heart. 

Nor  is  there,  if  this  be  wanting,  any  good 
security  for  continued  happiness,  even  in  those 
marriage  connexions   wb^re  the  parties  have 
joined  their  hands  from  the  most  sincere  affec- 
tion for  each  other.    Without  this,  the  sources 
of  patience,  resignation,  forbearance,  compas- 
sion and  candid  allowance  for  natural  infirmity, 
are  small,  and  may  be  soon  exhausted.     Nor 
can  it  be  expected,  that  we  shall  persevere  in 
the  more  arduous  part   of  that  kind  of  self- 
discipline  which  has  been  mentioned,  if  rever- 
ence for  the  will  of  God,  and  an  earnest  desire 
to  please  him  in  all  things,  are  wanting.     If 
therefore  yon  have  rushed  into  this  connexion, 
regardless  of  what  is  incumbent  on  you  as 
immortal  beings,  regardless  of  the  fact  that 
you  are  continually  acting  under  the  all-seeing 
eye  of  God,  your  business  is,  to  correct  this 
error.    Its  influence  will  otherwise  run  through 
the  whole  web   of  life,  and  prevent  many  of 
those  enjoyments  which  marriage  was  designed 
to  bestow  on  mankind. 

If,  however,  you  are  persons  of  genuine  re- 
ligion, this  circumstance  is  a  most  favorable 
otnen  of  your  future  life.  It  is  tbe  smile  of 
heaven,  that  will  shed  serenity  at  every  step  on 
your  passage  through  life.  The  maintenance 
of  mutual  affection  has  been  recommended  to 
yon,  as  a  great  object  of  the  attention  of  a 
married  couple.  And  what  is  so  likely  to 
keep  up  its  vigor,  as  a  deeply  rooted  regard  to 
religion.

probably  cannot  become. 

When  you  see  the  poor  animals  try  to  obey 
their  master,  you  may  learn  a  lesson  of  obedii 
enoe  to  God,  to  your  father,  mother,  and  teaohs 
er.  You  will  find  the  animals  try  to  do  their 
best,  this  may  teach  you  another  lesson,  name-> 
ly  that  of  trying  and  trying  to  do  your  beat. 
Some  children  say  "I  can't"  Never  say  so,  but 
always  try  and  you  will  succeed.

CHAPTER  III. 

Infiuenee  of  piety  on  the  hap f  (nets  of  married 
life. — Conduct  which  the  Holy  Seripluret  re- 
quire in  married  per  tons  toward*  each  other. 
I  have  reserved  the  important  subject  now 
to  be  introdaced,  for  the  latter  part  of  my  ad- 
dress ;  for  I  wish  above  all  things,  to  leave  the 
impression  of  this  on  your  minds  at  our  parting. 


Now  dear  children,  if  it  be  the  pleasure  of 
your  parents  to  take  you  to  the  museum,  you 
will  be  surprised  at  the   sight  of  very  strange 
animals  ;  you  wiU  be  pleased  with  their  feats  ; 
you  will  see  the  California  Lion,  the  tigers,  the 
bears,    monkeyiJ  seals,    and    birds.     But  it  is 
perticularly  tkatjlarge  bear,  the  last  animal  on 
that  side   wher^  you   enter  that  will   attract 
your  attention.  lYou  will   notioc   the  beauti 
ful  birds,  and    tie   locomotive,  you  will  see  it 
run  round  th«  platform,  much    like    the  large 
ones   that   carry  persons.     You  will  see  some 
feats  performed  by  the   animals,  you  will  hear 
their  voice  and  see  how  they  obey  their  master. 
Their  feats   are   nothing  in  comparison   with 
the   graceful    movements   of  man,    their  voice 
nothing   in   comparison   with    the    melodious 
voice  of  man,     I  hope  ia  seeing   and   hearing 
them,   you    will    feel    thankful    to  God  fot  his 
kindness  to  yos,  that  he  ho*  made  you  so  dif-< 
ferent,  and  above   all  for  giving  you  a  soul  by 
which  you  can  think  of  Qod  and  try  to  become

The  Gold  Tish. 

Swim  away  I  swim  away  I  you  pretty  gold  fieli, 
To  eat  you  for  dinner  I'm  sure  I've  newish  ; 
Swim  again,  pretty  fish,  about  and  about ; 
With  a  Look  in  your  noses  I'll  not  draw  you  out 

In  your  round  glass  house  all  your  pranks  are 

■pied, 
But  you  plar  no  trioka  you  need  to  hide ; 
In  your  bright  t^oldan  aoalea  yog  look  so  fine, 


I  with  auoh  a  beantifol  dress  were  mine. 
Your  body  is  like  a  sunbeam,  too  ; 
Methinks  I  oan  see  you  through  and  i' 
Your  eyes  are  as  bright  as  the  star  i  ' 
And  though  quite  alone,  you  seem  n 
O  I  I  conld  kiss  you  my  pretty  gold 
For  you  look  as  happy  as  heart  oool 
Vnn  swim  all  across,  and  you  swim  a 
And,  though  aorer'd  with  water,  yoc 
drown'd. 

And  now  to  the  bottoui  you  dire,  an 
On  the  surfaoe  you  all  your  finery  si 
But  very  queer  fishes  you  are,  indeed 
For  never  once  yet  have  I  seen  yon  f 
You  really  eat  nothing,  sirs,  all  the 
And  yet  you  are  always  active  and  si 
You  seem  to  live  upon  water  alenp. 
Though  this  would  reduce  me  to  akin  a 
Indeed  you  are  getting  quite  portly  a 
And  growing,  on  water,  as  fat  as  a  tn

[From  the  New  York  Jewish  Chronicle.] 

Becent  Oriental  Discoveries  and  the 
Bible. 
On  Thursday  evening,  8th  January,  Sir 
Henry  Rawlinson  delivered  a  lecture  at  St 
Martin's  Hall,  the  Lord  Mayor  took  the  chair. 
Sir  Henry  Rawlinson,  in  the  corse  of  a  lec- 
ture of  upwards  of  an  hour  and  a  half,  descris 
bed  some  of  the  most  important  results  of  his 
discovries  in  Assyria,  in  reference,  more  par 
ticularly,  to  the  vercificalion  which  they  af 
ford  of  Scripture  history ;  and  illustrated  the 
subjects  of  numerous  drawings  and  models 
taken  from  the  Sculptures  now  in  the  British 
Museum.  He  said  the  number  coincidences 
between  the  discoveries  he  had  made  and  the 
Bible  were  quite  sufHcient  to  prove,  if  any 
proof  were  wanting,  the  authenticity  of  Holy 
Writ,  and  he  regretted  that  he  should  only  be 
able,  in  the  time  of  a  single  lecture,  to  men- 
tion a  few  of  the  many  interesting  facts  which 
his  researches  had  disclosed.  The  earliest  pe* 
riod  to  which  the  inscriptions  on  the  cylinders 
and  tablets  he  had  found  positively  referred,  waa 
about  2000  years  before  the  common  era,  though 
there  were  some  indications,  uot  very  distinct, 
of  the  time  before  the  flood.  Babylonia  to  which 
the  early  portion  of  Scripture   history  refers, 


was  called  the  country  of  the  four  rivers,  and 
those  rivers  he  had  ascertained  to  signify  the 
Tigris  and  the  Eur)hrate8,  with  their  two  prin- 
cipal branches.  The  whole  country  of  Assyria 
had  been  excavated  in  the  course  of  his  re- 
searches, and  cylinders,  tablets  and  prisms 
had  been  extracted  faom  the  ruins  of  the  an- 
cient temples,  filled  with  inscriptions,  which 
had  now  been  deciphered,  and  in  many  in- 
stances they  verified  to  the  minutest  details 
the  records  of  Scripture,  and  serve  to  throw 
light  on  and  explain  passages  which  had  hith- 
erto been  obscure.  It  appears  from  these  ins 
scriptions  that,  in  the  earliest  times,  a  colony 
had  been  led  by  Nimrod  from  Egypt  into  Mes- 
opotamia. Nimrod  was  a  Cushite,  and  be- 
longed to  the  family  of  Ham.  He  was  after- 
wards, worshipped  as  a  divinity  by  the  name 
of  Nargall,  whose  attributes  were  equivalent 
to  those  of  Mars  :  and  in  the  sculptures  in  the 
British  Museum  he  is  represented  by  a  lion. 
The  inscriptions  enabled  Sir  Henry  to  explain 
the  meaning  of  many  names  of  early  Scripture 
history,  all  of  which  were  signifieant.  Thus 
Shem,  Ham,  and  Japhet  signified  the  parU  of 
the  country  they  inhabited.  The  meaning  of 
Ham,  the  right  hand,  indicating  that  he  lived 
in  Arabia  ;  Shem  signified  the  left,  or  Assyria ; 
and  Japhet  was  the  intermediate  country.   The

names  of  Europe  and  Asia  are  purely  Babylon- 
ian, meaning  the  setting  and  the  rising  of  tha 
sun,  which  names  were  afterwards  adopted  by 
the  Greeks.  The  name  Sheengar  was  really  a 
Hamite  name  of  the  country ;  and  after  the 
people  of  Nimrod  had  been  driven  into  the 
mountains,  they  took  the  name  of  Sheengar 
with  them.  Sir  Henry  Rawlinson  then  des., 
cribed  the  pertieular  method  of  the  Chaldees, 
of  reckoning  by  sixties  instead  of  by  hundreds, 
and  he  pointed  out  the  manner  in  which  they 
divided  the  hours  of  the  day  and  the  days  of 
the  week  from  the  sun  and  the  then  known 
planets,  and,  traced  the  present  names  of  tha 
days  of  the  week  to  those  given  by  the  Chal- 
dees. It  is  a  remarkable  fact ,  he  observed, 
that  Indians  also  reconed  by  sixties,  which  he 
inferred  indicates  a  connection  between  the 
Chaldees  and  Indians,  of  which  there  are  no 
records.  The  inscriptions  throw  light  on  the 
meaning  of  the  names  of  the  gods  of  Babylon, 
and  showed  by  the  functions  assigned  to  their 
gods  their  representatives  in  the  mythology  of 
the  Greeks  and  Romans.  Ashur  was  the  great 
god  of  the  Babylonians,  but  there  is  no  repre- 
sentation of  him  in  any  of  the  sculptures.  Tha 
names  of  their  gods  sometimes  -ignified  sen- 
tences, of  which  the  first  syllable  was  the 
name,  the  second  waa  tha  ▼•rb,  and  the  third

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


•f  ooU  ra«BtioD«d  in  the  Bible  oan  be  identi* 
fied.  The  historical  records  are  no  less  full 
•nd  interestiogthan  those  relatine  to  the  eth- 
nology, the  geography  and  the  mythology  of 
the  Assyrians,  and  in  every  instance  they 
agree  with  those  of  the  Bible.  It  was  mcn> 
tioned  aa  an  interesting  inference  from  the 
names  of  places,  that  the  Book  of  Job  must 
have  a  more  naodern  data  than  is  usaally  as- 
cribed to  it,  for  the  land  of  Uz  was  at  the 
uKKith  of  the  Euphrates;  and  the  names  of 
the  three  friends  of  Job  were  to  be  found  as 
bordering  ooantrics ;  but  those  names  were 
not  those  of  the  ancient  Chaldeans,  but  be^ 
longed  to  a  time  about  700  years  B,  C. 
Though  the  time  must  thus  be  considered 
inor«  recent  than  was  previously  supposed, 
the  occurrence  of  the  names  is  a  confirmation 
of  the  hibtory.  In  the  inscriptions  there  is  a 
period  of  nearly  1000  years,  without  mention 
of  Judea  ;  but  this  Sir  Henry  Rawlinson  ac- 
counted for  from  the  circumstance  that,  during 
that  period,  there  was  no  inducement  for 
ijitrercourse  between  the  Assyiiaus  and  the 
Jews.  The  circumstance  disclosed  relating  to 
the  government  of  Arabia  verified  the  visit  of 
tItcUtt&ca  of  Shaba tftSoloatoH  ^  for  itAppeatad 
that  that  country  was  ruled  by  queens,  and 
not  by  kings.  One  of  the  inscriptions  relates 
particularly  to  the  wars  between  Benacherib 
and  Uezekiab,  and  with  great  minuteness  nar 
rates  those  events  nearly  in  a  similar  manner 
to  their  naration  in  the  Bible.  It  appeared 
from  this  inscription,  however,  that  many  Jews 
were  then  taken  into  captivity  by  Sennacherib; 
and  Sir  Henry  Rawlinson  expressed  the  opinion 
that  there  were  four  distinct  captivities  of  the 
Jews;  There  occurs  in  Sennacherib's  account 
of  his  wars  with  HeEchiah,  the  remarkable 
passage :  "Then  I  prayed  to  God,"  which  is 
the  only  instance  in  the  whole  of  the  inscrip 
tion  in  which  the  Deity  is  mentioned  without 
aome  heathen  adjunct  One  of  the  latest  ex- 
cavations brought  to  light  inseiiptions  refer>> 
riag  to  the  time  of  Nebuchadnezzer.  These, 
besides  other  interesting  records,  threw  light 
on  a  point  regarding  Belshazzar,  which  had 
hithorto  appeared  obsoure,  for  no  suoh  name 
appeared  in  any  ancient  history  but  that  of 
the  Bible.  It  appeared,  however,  that  Bal- 
ahaszar  was  joint  king  with  his  father  Minns, 
and  that  he  shut  himself  in  Ninevfh,  whilst 
the  other  king  took  refuge  in  the  tower  of 
Nimrod.  Historians  have  not  mentioned  BeU 
■haczar  because  he  was  joint  king  with  his 
father  Minns,  and  becaase  he  was  considered 
aubordinate  to  his  father.  Sir  Henry  Rawlin- 
son having  mentioned  numerous  other  facta 
eonneoted  with  the  history  of  Assyria,  observed 
that  these  discoveries  are  important  at  the 
present  time,  when  there  is  an  attempt,  on  the 
oontinent,  at  least,  if  not  in  this  country,  to 
«all  in  question  Sacred  Writ ;  and  it  was  most 
satisfactory  to  be  thus  able  from  such  sources 
to  verify  the  most  important  historical  state« 
ments  of  the  Bible. 

[There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  world  is 
greatly  indebted  to  the  gallant  Colonel  for  bis 
valuable  discoveries.  We  should,  however, 
nevertheless,  recommend  caution  to  our  read- 
ers before  they  accept  his  statements  as 
historical  facts.  It  is,  of  course,  only  scholars 
acquainted  with  the  uniform  writings  and 
the  mode  of  reading  them,  who  can  critically 
ozamine  Sir  Henry's  communications,  and 
aither  confirm  or  controvert  his  opinion  lately 
expressed  at  the  Asiatic  Society,  "  and  there 
was  as  much  accuracy  in  hia  system  of  inter- 
pratallon  as  in  that  in  which  Latin  and  Greek 
texts  were  read."  Meanwhile,  however,  thera 
is  another  standard  by  which  his  interpreta- 
taooB  can  ooeasonally  be  testsd.  We  mean  the 
axplioit  statsmants  mada  by  anoiant  anthora 
«f4K>  dasoribed  what  tbay  aaw,  »nd  tha  Bible, 
ajuusinad  the  interpretation  of  tha  Col- 
,  that  tba  idol  Nargel  bad  lh«  ihapa  of  a 


lion,  ean  hardly  be  admitted.  Anaiaftt  Tal- 
mudioal  writers  who  lived  in  those  very  re- 
gions in  which  this  idol  was  on«e  wor* 
shipped,  deseribe  it  as  a  cock.  This  opinion  is 
accepted  by  the  most  erudite  modern  authors, 
and  is  moreover  borne  out  by  the  Byriao  thar- 
nagol  which  means  a  cook.  The  subject  was 
fully  discussed  during  the  last  session  of  the 
Syro-Egyptian  Society,  and  it  was  universally 
agreed  that  Nargo  !  had  at  least  the  form  of  a 
bird,  if  not  that  of  a  cock. 

Still  more  difficult  to  adopt  is  Sir  Henry's 
opinian  that  Job  lived  during  the  period  that 
the  Persians  reigned  over  Asia-  We  distinctly 
read,  in  Ezekiel  xiv.  14,  "If  these  three  men 
were  in  the  midst  thereof,  Noah,  Daniel,  and 
Job."  Now  if  Ezekiel,  who  was  the  contem- 
porary with  the  dtstruction  of  Jerusalem  by 
the  Chaldeans,  knew  of  Job,  that  patriarch 
could  not  have  lived  after  the  prophet  in  the 
time  of  the  Persians.  Still  more  irreconcilaable 
with  scripture  is  the  colonel's  statement  that 
the  names  of  the  three  sons  of  Noah  are  of 
Chaldee  origin.  Not  only  have  the  names 
Shem,  Hara,  and  Japhct  meanings  in  Hebrew 
totaly  atvbriance  with  those  assigned  to  them 
by  ^tf  Ilaary,  buV  tha  II^Lyaw  darivation  of 
the  name  of  the  third  son  of  Noah  is  distinctly 
acknowledged  by  the  sncred  writer  in  Gen.  ix. 
27,  where  Noah  addresses  his  son.  "God 
shall  enlarge  Japhet,"  in  Hebr.w  YHAT  EL- 
OUIM  LaYAPHET.  This  alliteration  is  lost 
in  the  translation,  but  the  Hebrew  scholar 
will  see  at  once  that  the  sacrad  writer  in  us- 
ing it  considered  YPHT  (Japhet)  to  be  derived 
from  the  root  PTHA  (to  enlorge).  The  ques- 
tion now  arises,  who  was  better  acquainted 
with  the  etymology  of  the  word,  Muses  or  Col. 
Kawliuson.  And  if  Japhet  is  Hebrew  why 
not  also  Shem  and  Ham,  and  if  (he  three  words 
are  Hebrew  how  can  they  mean  left,  right, 
and  intermediate  (country).  Let  the  religious 
party  beware  how  they  hastily  adopt  an  inter- 
pretation at  varience  with  Scripture  itself. — 
[Ed./.   C] 

Israel  in  Egypt. 

Egypt  was  long  a  place  of  refuge  to  the  Is- 
raelites— now  it  becomes  a  prison  :  they  who 
at  first  were  honored  as  lords,  are  now  held  in 
contempt  as  slaves.  It  is  a  rare  thing  to  find 
posterity  heirs  of  ancient  love  ;  one  Pharaoh 
advances  the  children  of  Jacob,  another  labors 
to  destroy  them.  How  should  the  favor  of 
men  be  otherwise  than  themsdves — variable  and 
inconstant  ?  There  is  no  certainty  but  in  the 
favor  of  God.  in  whom  is  no  variableness, 
whose  mercies  descend  without  interruption  on 
a  thousand  generations. 

If  the  Israelites  bad  been  treacherous,  if 
they  had  been  disobedient,  there  bad  been 
some  pretence  for  this  alienation.  Now  their 
only  offence  is,  that  they  prosper  ;  that  which 
should  bring  them  congratulation  becomes  the 
cause  of  malice. 

And  what  if  Israel  be  mighty  and  rich  ? 
"  If  there  be  war,  they  may  join  with  our 
adversaries." — Exodus  i.,  10.  It  is  easy  for 
those  who  seek  for  contention  to  find  a 
plausible  pretence  ;  here  were  no  wars,  no 
adversaries,  no  hostile  dispositions  on  the 
part  of  Israel  ;  yet  behold,  they  enslave 
their  certain  friends  for  fear  of  uncertain  en- 
emies. Wickedness  is  ever  suspicious  and 
cowardly,  it  makes  men  fear  where  no  fear  is — 
makes  them  fiee  when  none  pnrsneth.  David 
sait,  "  I  will  not  be  afraid  for  ten  thousand  of 
the  people  who  have  set  themselves  against  me 
round  about."  Pharaob,  "  If  there  be  war, 
they  may  join  with  their  adversaries."  Was 
not  this  fear,  if  it  really  did  exist,  a  motive 
for  bia  treating  them  with  kindruu  7  Ought 
he  not  to  bare  shown  them  bvor,  that  they 
might  hate  adhered  steadfastly  to  his  cause  f 
That  a  people  so  great,  bo  powerfol,  might  have 


drawn  thetr  swords  in  his  behalf?  Weak  and 
base  minds  ever  incline  to  the  easier,  the  least 
noble  part ;  they  try  to  show  their  conseqnence 
by  opposition— not  to  what  is  low,  what  is 
base,  but  to  that  which  ia  good,  and  they  suc- 
ceed. The  reason  is  obvious  :  whatever  is 
good  requires  exertion,  reqnires  sacrifices  ;  and 
men  are  easier  persuaded  to  omit  an  act  of  be- 
nevolence, nnd  to  infringe  upon  justice,  than 
to  act  in  furtherance  of  liberal  and  generous 
plans.  Pharaoh  holds  a  meeting,  makes  the 
motion,  the  resolution  is  passed,  Pharaoh  suc- 
ceeds, and  Israel  has  to  groan  under  his  onerous 
oppression — and  Egypt  likes  it  so  ;  it  shows 
that  itself  and  not  Israel  is  master — Egypt 
prefers  slaves  to  friends. 

"  Come  on,  let  us  work  wisely."  Evil  men 
call  wicked  politics  wisdom,  and  their  success 
happiness,  while  themselves  are  the  miserable 
dupes  of  sin,  which  lays  the  plot  and  teaches 
its  deluded  followers  to  choose  villainy  and 
madness  instead  of  true  wisdom  and  virtue. 

Injustice  is  upheld  by  violence ;  task-masters 
are  set  over  Israel ;  heavy  burdens  are  laid 
upon  them  ;  the  name  of  a  slave  is  added  to 
tbat  of  a  stranger.  "  Know  it  of  a  surety  that 
thy  posterity  shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that 
is  not  theirs,  and  they  shall  make  them  serve 
and  afflict  them."— Gen.  xv.,  13.  This,  indeed, 
was  the  decree  of  Heaven- 

But  as  God  afflicted  them  with  far  different 
views  than  Pharaoh,  (the  one  lor  their  benefit, 
the  other  for  their  extinction,)  so  he  caused  the 
events  to  differ.  Who  would  not  have  thought 
with  these  Egyptians,  that  the  extreme  misery 
of  Israel  would  have  subdued  and  diminished 
them  ?  But  the  scale  of  events  turned  to  the 
other  side.  God,  who  worketh  according  to 
his  almighty  wisdom,  causes  them  to  grow 
with  depression,  to  multiply  with  persecution  ! 
How  can  his  people  be  disperitcd  when  the 
very  malice  of  their  enemies  benefits  them — 
when  the  goodness  of  their  heavenly  Father 
turns  even  poisons  into  cordials  ?  "  The  vine 
which  Thou  broughtest  out  of  Egypt,  0  God, 
flourished  under  the  pruning-knife  which  sought 
to  destroy  it  The  just  will  flourish,  and  like 
the  palm,  shoot  heaven-ward,  in  the  house  of 
the  Lord — while  the  name  of  the  wicked  shall 
perish  from  the  land,  and  his  memory  be  blot- 
ted out  from  the  Book  of  Life. 

And  will  not  the  Egyptians  abhor  their  own 
malice  when  they  see  the  prosperity  of  those 
whom  they  unjustly  persecute  ?  Alas,  as  the 
strength  of  Israel  increased,  so  did  the  hatred 
of  their  inveterate  enemies !  Tyranny  will  try 
what  can  be  done  by  the  violence  of  others  ; 
the  agency  of  the  sex  must  be  called  in  aid — 
women  must  be  suborned  to  be  murderers — 
'•  And  the  king  of  Egypt  spake  to  the  Hebrew 
midwives,  of  which  the  name  of  the  one  was 
Shiphrah,  and  the  name  of  the  other  Puah  : 
and  he  said,  when  ye  do  the  office  of  a  midwife 
to  the  Hebrew  women,  if  it  be  a  son  then  ye 
shall  kill  him."— Exodus  i.,  15, 16.  This  is 
the  history  of  Egypt,  and  of  eighteen  centuries 
of  Europe.  It  is  enough,  to  reject  what  we 
cannot  believe, — and  who  ean  command  belief? 
surely  not  a  god  even.  It  is  fault  enough  not 
to  believe  :  to  be  hated,  persecuted,  and  con- 
demned at  once.  Phiiraoh  feels  "  abhorrence 
because  of  the  true  children  of  Israel."  It  is 
fault  enough  to  be  the  son  of  an  Israelite. 
Whosoever  gives  aloose  to  cruelty  is  easily 
carried  into  incredible  extremities  of  guilt. 

From  burdens  they  proceed  to  bondage,  and 
from  bondage  to  blood.  There  is  no  sin  more 
dangerous,  more  desperate  than  that  of  malice  ; 
bnt  the  power  of  tyrants  often  fails  of  answer- 
ing their  will.  The  promoters  of  mischief  can- 
not always  meet  with  equally  miscbierouB 
agents. 


The  fear  of  God  teaches  these  women  to 
disobey  an  unjust  command  :  they  well  knew 
that  human  injunctions  are  not  a  sufficidnt  ex- 
cuse for  atrocious  acts.  God  spake  to  their 
hearts,  'Thou  shalt  not  kill."  This  voice  was 
louder  than  that  of  Pharaoh— who,  while  he 
saw  that  they  rebelled  against  his  word,  was 
prevented  by  Omnipitcnce  from  executing  ven- 
geance on  them  for  refusing  to  comply  with 
his  impious  dictates- 

Bnt  what  the  midwives  will  not  do  the  mul- 
titude shall  effect — it  were  strange  if  wicked 
rulers  should  not  find  some  instruments  of  vio- 
lence. All  the  people  are  called  upon  to  he- 
come  executioners  of  a  tyrant's  wrath.  Now 
doth  cruelty  flame  up;  now  dares  it  proclaim 
its  odious  purpose.  It  is  a  miserable  state 
where  every  man  is  enjoined  to  be  a  murder ! 
There  can  be  no  greater  argoment  of  a  bad 
cause  than  a  bloody  persecutian.  Truth  up- 
holds herself  by  mildness,  and  is  promoted  by 
patience. 

Such  was  their   inhuman  deed— what  was 
the  consequence  ?    They  who  thus  barbarously 
i  destroyed  the  children  of  the  Israelites,  by  the 
I  just  retribution  of  God,  arc  deprtvtsd  of  th«ir- 
}  own  children.    They  who  caused  these  inno- 
cents to  perish  in  the  waters  are  themselves 
afterwards    made    to  suffer    in  like  manner. 
They    receive    "  MIDPAII     Ca    NAGED 
MIDD AH,"— measure    for    measure.     That 
law    of  relaxation    which   he  does  not  per- 
mit his  creatures  to  execute,  himself  with  un- 
erring justice  can  dispense.    God  would  have 
us  read  our  sins   in  our  punishment,  that  we 
may  at  once  repent  of  our  transgressions  and 
adore  his  righteous  judgments. 

In  the  process  of  time  another  king  rises  np, 
but  to  continue,  not  to  deviate  from  the  policy 
of  his  predecessor.  The  cruelities  of  the  op- 
pressor, the  sufferings  of  the  oppressed  are  the 
same.  When  at  last  he  received  a  message 
from  heaven  commanding  him  to  dismiss  the 
people  of  God,  then  did  his  rage  grow  frantic : 
he  was  like  the  vapor  in  a  cloud,  which  bursts 
with  a  fearful  noise  because  it  meets  with  op- 
position. A  good  heart  yields  to  the  still 
voice  of  God;  but  his  merciful  commands  are 
treated  with  obdurate  insolence  by  the  wicked. 
Pharaoh  takes  pleasure  in  the  sirvitude  of  Is- 
rael. God  calls  for  a  release;  and  requires 
what  he  knows  will  give  displeasure  to  the  ty- 
rant whom  he  addresses.  How  adverse  are 
his  precepts  to  unregenerate  souls !  It  is  a 
dangerous  sign  of  an  evil  heart  when  God's 
yoke  is  deemed  heavy. 

God  speaks  of  sacrifice  ;  Pharaoh  of  work. 
To  a  carnal  mind  nothing  seems  superfluous 
but  religious  duties.  While  the  wicked  cast  a 
specious  veil  over  their  own  enormities  they 
vilify  the  good  actions  of  others.  The  same 
spirit  which  spake  in  Pharaoh  now  calls  con- 
science singularity,  and  religion  hypocrisy. 
Eery  vice  hath  a  title,  and  every  virtue  a  dia. 
grace. 

Yet  while  possible  tasks  were  imposed  there 
was  some  comfort.  Diligence  might  then  pre- 
serve them  from  indignities.  Buj  to  require 
what  is  not — cannot  be  accomplished ,  is  tj  ranny 
in  the  extreme ;  it  is  the  very  madness  of  Cruel- 
ty. They  who  arc  above  others  in  power, 
must  measure  their  commands,  not  by  theit 
own  will,  but  by  the  ability  of  their  inferiors. 
The  task  is  not  done— the  task-masten  arc 
beaten — the  children  of  Israel  sigh  for  anguish 
of  spirit  and  for  cruel  bondage— and  th«ir .  cry 
comes  up  unto  God.

Farewell  I 

OFFioK ^ fgg  voic«4>#  heap;,! 

April  3d,   1857.      J 
Friends  and  Patrons  : 

A  friendly  consultation  with  the  Hon.  Edi 
tor  of  the  ■'  Weekly  Gleaner"  has  brought  for- 
ward the  resolution  that  it  would  be  highly  to 
the  interest  of  our  Jewish  community,  by  co- 
joining  the  conducting  of  our  two  periodicals. 
But  as  difTerence  in  principles  do  not  permit 
our  co-operating,  we  the  younger  in  age  and 
experience,  think  it  no  sacrifice  or  disgrace  to 
request,  most  humbly,  our  friends  and  patrons 
to  bestow,  henceforth,  their  protection  and 
favors — which  have  put  us  under  the  most  sin- 
cere obligations — towards  their  able  future 
organ,  published  under  the  name  of  "Tuk 
Weekly  Gleaner  as  Voice  to  Israel." 

Arrangements  are  made  which  we  trust  will 
Fatisfy  ;  particularly  those  parties  who  have 
kindly  pre-paid  us  on  starting  our  undertaking. 

We  have  no  doubt  that  the  abilities  and  en- 
ergy of  our  successor,  will  grant  to  our 
co-religionists  all  the  benefits  within  the  limits 
of  a  religious  periodical. 

Though  we  have  discontinued  our  publica- 
tion, we  shall,  if  it  is  God's  will,  not  discontinue 
our  labor  among  our  brethren,  for  the  great 
aims  and  ends  of  Judaism. 

We  cannot  express  the  gratitude  we  feel  for 
the  kind  patronage  we  have  received.  If  we 
have  not  fulfilled,  to  the  last,  our  mission,  it 
was  at  least,  not  for  want  of  good  will  and 
endeavor. 

Wherever  our  mission  shuU  call  us,  we  will 
remember  the  cheerful  response  to  our  first 
call — "  Sholom  alichem,— and  take  our  leave. 
Most  respectfully,  yours. 

Editor  Voice  of  Israel. 


Acknowledgment. 

The  fusion  of  the  "Voiceof  Israel,"  with 
the  "Gleaner,"  cannot  but  prove  acceptable  to 
the  greater  portion  of  the  patrons  of  both  pub- 
lications ;  and  will,  we  dare  cherish  the  hope, 
be  the  means  of  placing  the  organ  (primarily 
intended)  for  the  bouse  of  Israel  (though,  from 
the  nature  of  its  contents  and  the  end  at  which 
it  aims,  by  no  means  of  sectarian  tendencies)  on 
an  equal  positition,  as  far  as  regards  extent 
with  those  of  any  other  religious  denomination 
or  any  family  paper  within  the  istate.  We 
therefore,  duly  acknowledge  our  obligation  to 
the  editor  of  the  "  Voice  of  Israel,"  the  Rev.  H. 
Bien,  for  the  generous  concessions  made  us,  as 
also  for  the  manner  in  which  it  was  done,  and 
should  we  be  able  to  achieve  some  good  among 
the  senior  or  junior  mnmbers  of  the  House  of 
Isaael  or  of  the  community  at  large  of  whose 
liberel  patronage,  we,  thank  God,  are  the  re- 
cepients,  it  is  to  the  Editor  of  the  "Voice  of 
Israel,"  that  the  public  owes  a  considerable 
share,  for  his  first  organizing  a  medium  that 
was  the  precursor  of  our  publication,  and  sec- 
ondly, for  his  affording  us  now,  the  facilities 
that  at  once  are  calculated  considerably  to  be 
instrumental  in  the  realization  and  execution 
of  our  purpose,  from  which  we  hitherto  were 
prevented  on  account  of  the  many  hardships 
and  difficulties  which  we  had  to  encounter, 
and  which  we  hope  to  overcome  at  an  early 
day.  We  now  will  be  able  to  devote  our  time 
and  humble  gifts  exclusively  to  the  editorial 
department  and,  in  a  short  time,  to  produce  a 
journal  truly  worthy  of  that  patronage  for 
which  we  hitherto  are  considerably  indebted 
to  a  spirt  of  indulgence  on  the  part  of  our 
Jewish,  and  to  motives  of  piety  on  that  of  our 
Christian  readers.  In  returning  our  sincere 
thanks  to  oar  patrons  for  the  past,  we  respect- 
fully crave  their  kind  aid  for  Mte  fatore. 

Tour  devoted, 

Edjtob  Glbanib. 


Correspondence. 

M^rnh  1M.  1R57. 

Editor  "  Glbaner," 

Reverend  Sir:  The  undersigned,  having 
been  appointed  a  Committee  for  the  purpose 
of  communicating  with  the  organs  of  the  Isra- 
elites on  this  coast,  we  beg  you  tj  take  cog- 
niz.ince  of  the  following  statements  . 

There  exists  since  two  years  in  this  place  a 
benevolent  society,  charted  under  the  name  of 
"  The  Nevada  Hebrew  Society,"  which  has 
for  its  object :  the  keeping  up  of  a  burying- 
ground  for  members  and  others,  and  the  assist- 
ing of  needy  sick  with  pecuniary  aid.  The 
society  connts  at  present  about  twenty  mem- 
bers, and  elect  its  officers  the  4th  day  of  Pesah. 
The  officers  for  the  present  term  are  ;  Jacob 
Kohlman,  President;  A.  Rosenheim,  Vice  Pres; 
H.  Baruh,  Treasurer  ;  M.  W.  Peyser,  Sec'ry  ; 
D.  Lachmao,  Collector;  L.  Stiefel,  K.  Rice 
and  D.  Lachmao,  Directors.— Our  bnryiog- 
ground,  on  which  there  is  also  a  Mutahxir-laoxise, 
has  been  of  late  substantially  fenced  in.— By 
the  conflagation  of  July  17th,  '56,  we  lost  our 
sepher  tkorah,  but  purchased  another  and  a 
Shophar  shortly  afterwards  and  celebrated 
the  Yamim  mora  im  in  a  becoming  and  costu- 
mary  manner. 

Respectfully  Yours, 

M.  W.  Peyser,  )

OBITUABY. 

Died,  in  the  City  of  New  Orleans,  on  the 
twenty-third  of  February,  1857,  Mrs.  Catharine 
Abrams,  in  the  sixty-fourth  year  of  her  age : 

And  iu  truthfulness  we  may  add  that  such 
was  the  period  of  her  usefulness  and  virtue. 

No  purer,  better  and  holier  spirit  hath  ever 
passed  from  earth,  scarce  any  more  fitted  to 
comnaune  with  God,  and  rarely  with  better 
claim  to  that  Heavenly  iuheritanee  which  is 
the  promise  and  reward  of  a  well-spent  life. 
Early  imbued  with  the  precepts  of  a  true  re- 
ligion her  existence  has  been  the  illustrotion 
of  those  precepts  reduced  into  practice. 

A  striet  adherent  to  the  forms,  and  ceremo* 
nies  of  her  Jewish  faith,  few  so  well  apprecia- 
ted the  motive  and  the  spirit  of  those  forms, 
and  fewer  excelled  her  in  that  devotional  feel- 
ing which  hallows  their  enforcements  and  el- 
evates them  to  respect 

Tis  said  that  the  observance  of  these,  do 
breed  a  bigotry  in  the  mind,  yet  such  was  not 
the  caee  with  her,  the  rectitude  of  her  own 
thoughts  and  the  unselfiishness  of  her  motives 
made  her  charitable  and  indulgent  to  the  ac- 
tions and  intent  of  others. 

Her  piety  had  nothing  etern  or  contracting 
in  its  nature,  but  on  the  contrary  was  expan- 
sive with  the  most  generous  emotions,  warming 
alike  to  the  stranger  and  the  friend. 

The  legitimate  offspring  of  such  piety  is  a 
heart  fruitful  with  kindness,  benevolence  and 
love,  and  these  were  the  quality  of  hers,  which 
screened  her  from  the  animosity  of  ill-nature 
and  malevolence,  won  her  the  reverance  and 
honor  off  all  who  knew  her,  and  secured  her 
the  enduring  affection  of  a  numerous  kindred. 

A  just  and  correct  apprehension  of  duty 
made  her  faithful  in  the  domestic  relations  of 
daughter,  wife,  and  mother.  Well  does  the 
author  of  this  lacking  tribute  to  her  merit, 
remember  the  unremitting  attentions  which 
were  paid  to  an  aged  parent,  often  has  he  ob- 
served the  gentleness  and  forbearance  which 
denote  the  patient  wife,  while  to  her  maternal 
solicitude,  care  and  instruction,  the  characters 
of  the  sons  and  daughters  she  leaves  behind 
will  furnish  her  amplest  praise. 

Although  advanced  in  life  and  the  dread 
summons  to  eternity  was  t«  be  expected,  still, 
it  ifl  hard  to  part  with  one  endaered  to  us  by  bo 
many  virtues,  and  whose  trvoquil  habits  so 
touchiogly  appealed  to  our  veneration  and 
esteem. 


Bat  she  has  departed  and  vain  ia  regret! 
1^  aon^wiag  of  friends  a«p  kindred  will  fill 
her  vacant  place  at  the  hearthstone  where 
she  Bat,  no  human  prayers  nor  lamentations 
can  avail  to  bring  her  gentle  spirit  baok  again. 
Nor  ahould  we  desir  it,  since  onr  loss  must  bo 
her  gain,  for  if  ever  mortal  soul  hath  reached 
a  happier  state  her  destiny  is  seeure.  Then 
let  this  be  our  consolation. 

Near  nine  years  past  the  hand  which  now 
but  feebly  commemorates  her  goodness  ens 
compassed  hers  to  bid  farewell,  its  owner 
bounden  to  a  distant  shore,  drawing  him  to 
her  embrace  her  lips  blessed  him  and  bade 
him  God  speed,  since  which  time  he  has  be* 
held  her  no  more,  but  his  memory  is  still  fresh 
wiih  the  traits  which  adorned  her  beauteous 
character,  and  his  heart  still  green  with  the 
love  which  he  ever  bore  her,  and  here  at  the 
distanee  of  thousands  of  miles  from  the  rising 
mound  which  marks  her  final  resting  place, 
these  prompt  him  to  the  expression  of  this  last 
sad  offering  to  her  manes,  J.  S. 


A  Mother's  Grief. 
To  mark  the  sufferings  of  the  babe, 

That  cannot  speak  its  woe; 
To  see  the  infant's  tears  gush  forth, 

Yet  know  not  why  they  flow ; 
To  meet  the  meek  uplifted  eye, 

That  fain  would  ask  reli^^ 
Yet  can  but  tell  of  agony— N 

This  is  a  mother's  grief, 

Through  dreary  days  and  darker  nights, 

To  trace  the  march  of  death ; 
To  heave  the  faint  and  frequent  sigh, 

The  quick  and  shortened  breath  ; 
To  watch  the  last  dread  strife  draw  nigh, 

And  pray  that  it  be  brief. 
Though  all  is  ended  with  its  cloae— 

This  is  a  mother's  grief. 

To  see  in  one  short  hour  decayed 

The  hope  of  future  years ; 
To  feel  how  vain  a  father's  prayers, 

How  vain  a  mother's  tears ; 
To  think  that  the  cold  grave  must  close 

O'er  what  was  once  the  cheif 
Of  all  the  treasured  joys  on  earth-— 

This  is  a  mother's  grief. 

Yet  when  the  first  wild  throb  is  past, 

Of  anguish  and  despair. 
To  lift  the  eye  of  faith  to  heaven. 

And  think,  my  child  is  there — 
This  best  can  dry  the  gushing  tears. 

This  gives  the  heart  relief. 
Until  the  believer's  pious  hope 

O'ercomes  the  mother's  grief. 

We  take  the  following  from  the  "  ChristiaD 
Advocate"  of  April  4  : 

The  "  Weekly  Gleaner." — By  favor  of 
Mr.  Morris,  an  acquaintance  and  friend,  we 
have  several  numbers  of  this  neat  and  well 
conducted  sheet.  Julius  Eckman,  D.  D.,  is 
the  editor.  It  is  devoted  to  the  maintenance 
of  Judaism,  but  breathes  a  spirit  of  catholicity 
and  kindness  most  commendable.  The  Doctor 
is  evidently  quite  at  home  among  the  Fathers 
and  Rabbins  of  the  ancient  and  honored  church. 
We  can  only  desire  that  he  may  see  in  the  Na- 
zarene  the  "  Hope  of  Israel." 

School  Notice.

FAC-SIMILE   FROM   AN   INDIAN   SEPHER   THORAH,   FODND  AT  COCHIN. 


Jews  in  India. 
[Continued   from   p.   85.] 

THE    BLACK    JF,WS. 

Physiognomy.— "It  is  only  necessary  to 
look  at  the  countenance  of  the  Black  Jews, 
in  that  country,  to  be  satisfied  that  their 
ancestors  must  have  arrived  in  India  many 
ages  before  the  White  Jews.  Their  Hindoo 
complexion,  and  their  very  imperfect  resem- 
blance to  the  European  Jews,  indicate  that 
they  were  detached  from  the  parent  stock  in 
Judea  many  years  before  the  Jews  in  the  West, 
and  that  there  have  been  intermarriages  with 
families  not  Israilitish.  I  had  heard  that  those 
tribes  which  had  passed  the  Indus*  have  assim- 
ilated so  much  to  the  customs  and  habits  of 
the  countries  in  which  they  live,  that  they  may 
be  sometimes  seen  by  a  traveller  without  being 
recognized  as  Jews.  In  the  interior  towns  of 
Malabar  I  was  not  able  to  distinguish  the 
Jews  from  the  Hindoos.  I  hence  perceived 
how  easy  it  may  be  to  mistake  the  tribes  of 
Jewish  descent  among  the  Aflghans  and  other 
nations  in  the  northern  parts  of  Hindostan. 
The  White  Jews  look  upon  the  B!ack  Jews  as 
an  inferior  race,  and  as  not  of  a  pure  cast ; 
which  plainly  demonstrates  that  they  do  not 
spring  from  a  common  stock  in  India. 

Traditioiis.—"  The  Black\  Jews  gave  me 
much  interesting  intelligence  concerning  their 
brethren,  the  ancient  Israelites,  in  the  East ; 
traditional  indeed  in  its  nature,  but  in  general 
illustrative  of  true  history.  They  recounted 
the  names  of  many  other  small  colonies  resi- 
dent in  northern  India,  Tartary,  and  China, 
and  gave  me  a  written  list  of  sixty-five  places. 
I  conversed  with  those  who  had  latety  visited 
many  of  these  stations,  and  were  about  to 
return  again.  The  Jews  have  a  never-ceasing 
communication  with  each  other  in  the  East. 
Their  families  indeed  are  generally  stationary, 
being  subject  to  despotic  princes,  but  the  inen 
move  much  about  in  a  commercial  capacity, 
and  the  same  individual  will  pass  through 
many  extensive  countries  ;  so  that  when  any 
thing  interesting  to  the  nation  of  the  Jews 
takes  place,  the  rumor  will  pass  rapidly 
throughout  all  Asia. 

Their  Opinion  of  tlie  Ten  Tribes.—"  I 
inquired  concerning  their  brethren,  the  Ten 
Tribes.  They  said  that  it  was  commonly 
believed  among  them ,  that  the  great  body  of 
the  Israelites  are  to  be  found  in  Chaldea,  and 
in  the  countries  contiguous  to  it,  being  the 
very  places  whither  they  were  first  carried  into 
captivity  ;  that  some  few  families  had  migrated 
into  regions  more  remote,  as  to  Cochin  and 
Rajapoor,  in  India,  and  to  other  places  yet 
farther  to  the  East ;  but  that  the  bulk  of  the 
nation,  though  now  much  reduced  in  number, 
had  not  to  this  day  removed  two  thousand 
miles  fr«m  Samaria.  - 

bcarcity  of  Copies  of  the  Bible. — "  Among 
the   Black   Jews    I   could    not   find    many 

*  One  of  the  largest  rivera  in  Asia. 


copies  of  the  Bible.  They  informed  me 
that  in  certain  places  of  the  remote  dispersion, 
their  brethren  have  but  some  small  portions  of 
the  Scriptures,  and  that  the  prophetical  books 
were  rare ;  but  that  they  themselves,  from  their 
vicinity  to  the  White  Jews,  have  been  sup- 
plied, from  time  to  time,  with  the  whole  of  the 
Bible. 

[From  these  communications  we  plainly 
perceive  the  important  duty  which  devolves  on 
us  to  send  to  the  Jews  in  India  copies  of  the 
Hebrew  Scriptures.  They  do  not  want  the 
Law  80  much  ;  but  the  Prophetical  Books 
would  appear  among  them  with  some  novelty, 
particularly  in  a  detached  form,  and  could  be 
easily  circulated  through  the  remotest  part  of 
Asia.] 

Expectation  of  a  Restoration  to  Judea. — "  I 
have  had  many  interesting  conferences  with 
the  Jews  on  the  subject  of  their  present  state  ; 
and  have  been  much  struck  with  two  circum- 
stances :  their  constant  reference  to  the  deso- 
lation of  Jerusalem,  and  their  confident  hope 
that  it  will  be  one  day  rebuilt.  The  desola- 
tion of  the  Holy  City  is  ever  present  to  the 
minds  of  the  Jews,  when  the  subject  is  con- 
cerning themselves  as  a  nation  ;  for,  though 
without  a  king,  and  without  a  country,  they 
constantly  speak  of  the  unity  of  their  nation. 
Distance  of  time  and  place  seems  to  have  no 
effect  in  obliterating  the  remembrance  of  the 
desolation.  I  often  thought  of  the  verse  in 
the  Psalms, '  If  I  forget  thee,  O  Jerusalem, 
let  my  right  hand  forget  her  cunning.'  They 
speak  of  Palestine  being  close  at  hand,  and 
easily  accessible.  It  is  an  ordinance  of  the 
Rabins  in  some  places,  that  when  a  man  builds 
a  new  house,  he  shall  leave  a  small  part  of  it 
unfinished,  as  an  emblem  of  ruin,  and  write  on 
it  these  words  :  Zecher  Lachorban,  i.  e.  in  mem- 
ory of  the  desolation. 

"  Their  hopes  of  rebuilding  the  walls  of  Je- 
rusalem the  third  and  last  time,  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Messiah,  or  of  a  second  Cyrus 
before  his  coming,  are  always  expressed  with 
great  confidence.  They  have  a  general  im- 
pression that  the  period  of  their  liberation 
from  the  heathen  is  not  very  remote  ;  and  they 
consider  the  present  commotions  in  the  earth 
as  gradually  loosening  their  bonds.  'It is," 
say  they,  'a  sure  sign  of  our  approaching 
restoration,  that  in  almost  all  countries  there  is 
a  general  relaxation  of  the  persecution  against 

us.' 

Their  Burial  Ground.—"  I  passed  through 
the  burial  ground  of  the  Jews.  Some  of  the 
tombs  are  handsomely  constructed,  and  have 
Hebrew  inscriptions  in  prose  and  verse.  This 
mansion  of  the  dead  is  called  by  the  Jews, 
Beth  Haim,  or  '  The  House  of  the  Living  I' 

"  Being  much  gratified  with  my  visit  to  the 
Jews  of  Malabar,  and  desirous  to  maintain 
some  commnnication  with  them,  I  have  en- 
gaged a  very  respectable  member  of  tbeir  com- 


munity to  accompany  me  with  bis  servant  to 
Bengal,  and  to  remain  with  me  in  the  capacity 
f  Hebrew  moonshee,  or  teacher,  until  my  re- 
turn to  England.  Observing  that  in  the  houses 
of  the  White  Jews  there  are  many  volumes  of 
printed  Hebrew,  mostly  of  the  fifteenth  and 
sixteenth  centuries,  which  are  rarely  met  with 
in  England,  I  have  employed  Misrahi,  that  is 
the  namc^my  moonshee,  to  collect  some  of 
the  most  Valuable. 

The  Jews  of  Bombay.*—"  At  the  beginning 
of  the  following  year,  (1808)  the  author  visited 
Cochin  a  second  time,  and  proceeded  afterwards 
to  Bombay,  where  he  had  an  opportunity  of 
meeting  with  some  very  intelligent  men  of  the 
Jewish  nation.  They  bad  heard  of  his  con- 
ferences with  the  Cochin  Jews,  and  were  desi- 
rous to  discuss  certain  topics,  particularly  the 
prophecies  of  Isaiah  ;  and  they  engaged  in 
them  with  far  more  spirit  and  frankness,  he 
thought,  than  their  brethern  at  Cochin  had 
done;  They  told  him  that  if  he  would  take  a 
walk  to  the  bazar  in  the  suburb,  without  the 
walls  of  Bombay  town,  he  would  find  a  syna- 
gogue without  a  sepher  thorah,  or  Book  of  the 
Law.  He  did  so,  and  found  it  to  be  the  case. 
The  Haram  Reader  and  a  few  of  the  Jews  as- 
sembled and  showed  him  their  synagogue,  in 
which  there  were  80«w  looao  loaves  ftf  prayore 
in  manuscript,  but  no  Book  of  the  Law.  The 
author  did  not  understand  that  they  disap- 
proved of  the  Law  ;  but  they  had  no  copy  of 
it.  They  seemed  to  have  little  knowledge  of 
the  Jewish  Scriptures  of  history.  This  only 
proved  what  he  had  been  often  told,  that  small 
portions  of  the  Jewish  nation  melt  away  from 
time  to  time,  and  are  absorbad  in  the  mass  of 
the  heathen  world.  Nor  is  this  any  argument 
against  the  truth  of  the  prophecy,  which  de- 
clares that  they  should  remain  a  separate  and 
distinct  people ;  for  these  arc  mere  exceptions.

Garole  for  Sore  Throat.— On  twenty  five 
or  thirty  leaves  of  common  sage,  pour  II  pint 
of  boiling  water  ;  let  the  infusion  stand  half 
an  hour.  Add  vinegar  enough  to  make  it 
moderately  acid,  and  honey  to  the  taste.  Use 
it  as  a  gargle,  several  times  a  day.  This  com- 
bination of  the  astringent  and  emollient  prin- 
ciple seldom  fails  to  produce  the  desired  effect. 

A  Card. 

To  the  public  who  wish  to  save  their  natu- 
ral teeth,  or  to  have  new  ones  inserted,  they 
can  save  fifty  per  cent,  by  employing  Dr.  Bur- 
bank,  as  his  Dental  work  is  superior  to  that  of 
any  other  Dentist  in  the  State,  and  not  sur- 
passed by  any  in  the  world.  It  ia  an  absolute 
fact  that  half  the  money  paid  for  dentistry  in 
this  city,  is  money  thrown  away,  especially 
with  those  who  have  teeth  filled.  If  you  wish 
to  SAVE  your  money  and  your  teeth,  employ 
Dr.  Burbank,  2d  fioor  of  the  Express  Building, 
corner  Montgomery  and  California  streets.

The  wind  is  high — the  path  is  dry, 
Horsemen  and  chariots  swiftly  fly  : 
"  We'll  overtake,"  they  loudly  cry, 

"  And  kill  that  slavish  crew."* 

But  audden— drag  their  chariot  wheela, 
A  Buddfen  horror  o'er  them  steals. 
While  God  on  high  his  wrath  reveals 

From  Kouder  fiery  cloud. 
The  ligbtnutgs  play— the  thunders  roar, 
The  skies  a  mighty  torrent  pour  :t 
Were  e'er  iuch  lightnings  known  before, 

Of  thanderings  so  loud  ? 

TbeM^d,  the  siglit,  o'erwhelm  with  fright, 
Hdreenien  and  chariots  tajce  to  flight. 
"  Does  not  their  God  for  Israel  fight  ?" 

The  horsemen  trembling  cry. 
But  while  with  furious  speed  they  go, 
God  makes  the  western  wind  to  blow.t 
And  o'er  their  heads  the  waters  flow  : 

Like  stones  the  horsemen  tie. 

Beneath  the  deep  their  bodies  sleep — 
And  for  their  sins  had  to  wail  and  weep, 
And  God  upon  their  heads  did  heap 

Hail  stones,  and  coals  of  fire. 
What  piercing  cries  shall  rend  the  skies, 
When  all  who  were  God's  enemies 
Shall  meet  the  Judge's  angry  eyes, 

Flashing  with  terrors  dire  ! 

How  vain  to  try  from  him  to  fly. 
Who  made  the  sea,  the  earth  and  sky. 
Whose  arm  can  reach  the  mountains  high, 

And  deepest  pits  beneath !  2 
How  vain  to  try  from  him  to  fly 
Who  can  all  secret  things  descry, 
Whose  power  no  augel  dare  defy. 

Whose  word  can  blast  with  death  I

Providence  Proved,  or  the  Dream  of 
Hafed. 

[Continued  from  p.  80.] 

"  Wonderful,"  said  Ilafcd. 

As  they  proceeded  a  little  further  they 
met  a  young  lady. 

"That  young  lady,"  said  the  guide,  "is 
the  greatest  beauty  iu  all  these  parts.  All 
our  young  men  are  bewitched  by  her;  and 

•  The  enemy  said,  I  will  draw  my  sword, 
my  hand  shall  deilroy  them.— Exod.  xv.  9. 

f  The  77th  Psalm  refers  to  the  passage  across 
the  Red  Sea,  and  thus  describes  the  storm  at-, 
tending  Tharob's  destruction :  "  The  clouds 
poured  out  water:  the  skies  sent  out  a  sound  : 
thine  arrows  went  abroad.  The  voice  of  thy 
thunder  was  \i  the  heaven,  the  lightnings 
lightened  the  world:  the  earth  trembled  and 
shook." 

I  Thou  didst  blow  with  thy  wind,  the  sea 
covered  them.— Kxod.  xv.  10.  As  it  waa  by  an 
eattern  wind  that  the  sea  was  made  to  go  back, 
(Exod.  xiv.  21,)  it  is  evident  that  it  waa  by  a 
v«item  wind  it  was  made  to  overwhelm  tlie 
enemy  which  fact  is  proved  by  the  circum- 
stanoe  of  the  dead  bodies  of  the  Egyptians 
being  washed  upon  the  4attern  shore  the  fol- 
lowing morning. — Exod.  xiv.  SO. 

g  Amoa  ix,  2,  S. 


there  have  been  no  lesfl  than  twenty  daels 
on  her  account  already.  You  will  be  a- 
mazed  at  seeing  a  being  so  perfect. 

As  they  met,  Hafed  stared  more  fully 
than  is  usually  considered  polite  among 
the  orientals.  The  beauty  had  a  face  not 
altogether  unlike  a  human  face,  excepting 
that  the  mouth  was  under  the  chin,  the 
eyes  looked  separate  ways,  and  the  color 
of  the  hair  wn.s  a  mixture  of  red,  light-blue, 
white  and  yellow.  One  foot  had  the  heel 
forward,  and  one  arm  was  altogether 
wautnig.  "  Wonderful,  wonderful  truly," 
cried  Hafed.  "Twenty  duels!  But  I 
hope  they  were  not  all  killed,  were  they?" 

Here  the  beauty  began  to  ogle  and 
muice  in  her  steps  most  cnchantingly. 

"  Killed  1"  said  the  guide  ;  "you  seem 
to  know  nothing  about  us.  They  all  met 
and  fought  together;  but  as  every  thing 
gOQi  here  by  chance,  it  is  not  often  that 
W^can  get  our  powder  to  burn.  In  this 
cisc  only  one  got  his  gun  to  go  ofif  at  all, 
and  that  did  not  happen  to  go  off  till  night, 
when  he  was  going  to  bed,  when  it  wound- 
ed his  hand,  which  has  been  bleeding  ever 

since." 

"Ever  since!  How  long  ago  was  this? 
She  did  not  look  as  if  it  could  have  been 
to-day." 

"Oh  I  it  was  two  years  ago." 
"Two  years  ago!  and  why  don't  ye  seek 
the  leech,  and  have  the  poor  boy  saved 
from  bleeding  to  death — even  though  he 
vres  "a  fool — for  more  reasons  than  one  ?" 
"Ah!  you  don't  understand  it.  Every 
thing  goes  by  chance  here ;  and  there  is 
only  a  chance  that  a  man  who  is  wounded 
will  ever  be  healed.  This  is  one  of  th(^e 
cases,  iu  which  he  will  never  be  healed.' 

"I  don't  understand  it,  truly,"  said  Ha- 
fed. 

They  stopped  to  look  at  some  "chance- 
cattle"  in  a  yard.     Some  had  but  three 
legs;  some  had   the  head  on  in  the  wrong 
part  of  the  body;  some  were  covered  with 
1  wool,  under   which  they  were   sweltering 
iu  a  climate  always  tropical.    Some  were 
half  horse  and  half  ox.     One  cow  had  a 
young  dwarf  of  a  camel  following  her,  and 
claiming  her  as  his  mother.     Young  ele- 
phants were  there  with  the  flocks  of  sheep; 
horses  with  claws  like  a  lion,  and  geese 
clamping  round  the  yard  with  hoofs  like 
horses.     It  was  all  the  work  of  chance. 

"This,"  said  the  guide,  "is  a  choice  col- 
lection of  cattle.  You  never  saw  the  like 
before." 

"That  is  true, —  truth  itself,"  cried  Ha- 
fed. 

"Ah!  but  the  owner  had  been  at  almost 
infinite  pains  and  expense  to  collect  them. 
1  don't  believe  there  is  another  such   col- 
lection anywhere  in  all  this  'chance  world.'" 
"I  hope  not,"  said  Hafed. 
Just  as  they  were  leaving  the  premises, 
the  owner  came  out,  to  admire,  and  show, 
and  talk  over  his  treasures.     He  wanted 
to  gaze  at  Hafed ;  but  his  head  happened 
to  be  near  the  ground   between  his  feet, 
so  that  he  had  to  mount  up  on  a  wall,  be- 
fore he  could  get  a  fair  view  of  the   stran- 
ger. 

"Don't  think  I  am  a  happy  man,"  said 
he  to  Hafed,  "in  having  so  manyandsuch 
perfect  animals.     Alas!  even  in  this  hap- 
py and  perfect  world,   there  are   always 
draw  backs.     That  fine  looking  cow  yon- 
der happens  to  give  nothing  but   warm 
water  for  milk;  and  her  calf,  poor   thing, 
died  the  first  week.     Some  of  them   have 
good-looking  eyes,  but  from  some   defect, 
are  stone  blind.    Some  cannot  live   in  the 
light,  and  few  of  them  can  hear.    No  two 
eat  tlie  same  food,  and  it  ia  a  great  labor 
to  take  care  of  them.     I  uometimea  feel 
as  if  1  had  almost  as  lief  be  a  poor  man." 
"I  think  I  should  rather,"  said  Hafed. 
While  they  were  talking,  in  an  instant, 


"  said   Hafed;   "but  I 
back   at   an  appointed 


they  were  in  midnigHt  darkness:  The 
sun  was  gone,  and  Hafed  could  not  for 
some  time  see  his  guide. 

"What  has  happened  ?"  said  he, 
"Ob!  nothing  uncommon,"  said  the 
guide.  "The  sun  happened  to  go  down 
now.  There  is  no  regular  time  for  him  to 
shine;  but  he  goes  and  comesjust  as  it 
happens,  and  leaves  as  suddenly  as  you 
see." 

"As  I  donU  see, 
hope  he  will  come 
time,  at  any  rate." 

"That,  Sir,  will  be  just  as  it  happens. 
Sometimes  lie  is  gone  for  months,  and 
sometimes  for  weeks,  and  sometimes  only 
for  a  few  minutes.  Just  as  it  happens. 
We  may  not  sec  him  for  mouths,  but  per- 
haps he  will  come  soon." 

"But  how  do  you   talk   about  months,^ 

and  days,  when  you  have  no  such  thin^" 

"I  will  soon  tell  you  about   that.     We 

measure  time  here   by  the  ifard"- 

"By  the  yard?"  " 

"Yes;  we  call  that  time  which  the  most 
perfect  men  among   us  take  in   walking  a 
yard,  to  the   sixtieth    part   of  an   hour. 
Tboso  hours  waTccknn  into  dayg^  an<l  these 
days  into  years.     To  be  sure  we  are  not 
very  exact,  because   some  men  walk   so 
much  faster  than  others  ;  but  this  >s  just 
as  their  legs  happen  to  be  long  or  short. 
As  the  guide  was  proceeding  to  the  un- 
expressible  joy  of  all  the  sun  at  once  broke 
out     The  light  was  so  sudden,   that  Ha- 
fed at  first  thought  he  must  be  struck  with 
lightning,  and  actually  put  his  hands  up  to 
his  eyes,  to  see  if  they  were  safe.     He  then 
clapped  his  hands  over  his  eyes,  till  he  could 
gradually  bear   the  light.     There  was  a 
splendor  about  the  sun  which  he  had  never 
before  seen;   and  it  was  intolerably  hot. 
The  air  seemed  like  a  furnace. 


"Ahl"  said  the  owner  of  the  cattle,  "we 


must  now  scorch  for  it.  My  poor  wool 
ox  must  die  at  once!  Bad  luck,  bad  luck 
to  us?  The  sun  has  come  back  much 
nearer  than  he  was  before.  But  we  hope 
he  will  happen  to  go  away  again  soon,  and 
then  happen  to  come  back  further  off  the 
the  next  time." 

The  sun  was  now  pouring  down  his  heat 
so  intensely,  that  they  were  glad  to  go  in- 
to the  house  for   shelter  —  a   miserable- 
looking  place   indeed.     Hafed  could   not 
but  compare  it  with  his  own  beautiful  cot- 
age.     Some  timbers  were  rotten;  for  the 
tree  was  not,  as  it   happened,   the  same 
thing  in  all   parts.     Some  of  the  boards 
happeued  to  be  like  paper,   and  the   nails 
tore  out,  and  these  were  loose  and  comiug 
off.     They  had  to  do  their  cooking  out 
under  the  burning  sun;  for  when  the  smoke 
once  got  into  the  house,  there  was  no  get- 
ting it  out,  unless  it  happened  to  go,  which 
was  not  very  often. 

They  invited  Hafed  to  eat.     On  sitting 
down  at  table,  he  noticed  that  each   one 
had  a  different  kind  of  food,  and  that   no 
two  could  eat  out  of  the  same   dish.     He 
was  told  that   it  so  happened,   that  the 
food  which  one  could  eat,   was  poison  to 
another,  and  what   was  agreeable  to   one 
was  nauseating  to  another.     Selecting  the 
food  which  looked  most   inviting,  Hafed 
attempted  to  eat.     What  was  bis  surprise 
when  he  found  that  his  hands  did  not  hap- 
pen to  be  under  the  control  of  his  will,  and, 
instead  of  carrying  the  food  to  his  mouth, 
these  active  servants  put  it  into  his   right 
ear!     On  examining,  be    found  it   was  so 
with  all  the   rest,   and   by  imitating  the! 
company,   and   twisting  his   head  round 
over  his  right  shoulder,  and  placing   his 
mouth  where  the  ear  was  he   managed  to 
eat.     In  amazement,  be  asked  how   this 
happened. 

"Ah!"  said. they,  laughing  M  his  ignor- 


one  or  more  limbs  for  a  long  time  which  are 
not  under  the  control  of  our  will.  It  is 
just  as  it  happens.  So  when  we  drihk,  we 
find  it  always  true,  that 

'  Some  shed  it  on  their  shoulder. 

Some  shed  it  on  their  thigh  ; 

And  he  that  does  not  hit  his  mouth 

Is  sure  to  hit  his  eye.' 

"I  suppose  that  to  be  coffee,"  said  Ha- 
fed  "and  I  will  thank  you  for  a  cup." 

It  was  handed  him.  He  had  been 
troubled  with  a  tooth-ache  for  some  hours, 
and  how  did  be  quail  when  on  filling  his 
mouth,  he  found  it  was  ice,  in  little  pieces 
about  as  large  as  pigeon-shot! 

"Do  you  call  ice-water,  coffee,    here .' 
said  Hafed,  pressing  bis  band   upon   the 
cheek  where  the  tooth  was  dancing   with 
pain.    "That  is  just   as  it  happens.    We 
put  water  over  the  fire,  and  sometimes  it 
heats  and  sometimes  it  freezes  it.  How  can 
it  be  otherwise,  when  we  have  here  no  fixsd 
laws  of  any  kind  ?     It  is  all  chance-woi  k." 
Hafed  rose  from  the  table  in  anguish  of  spirit. 
He  remembered  the  world  where  he  had  lived, 
and  all  that  was  past.     He  had  desired  to  live 
in  a  world  where  there  was  no  God,— where  all 
was  governed  by  chance,  eo  far  as  there  was 
anything  that  looked  like  govemnent.    Here 
he  was,  and  here  he  must  live.     He  threw  him- 
self on  a  bed,  and  recalled  the  past  —  the  beau- 
tiful world  in  which  he  had  once  lived;  his  in- 
gratitude,—his  murmurings,  and  his  blasphemy 
against  the  wisdom  and  the  goodness  of  God . 
He  wept  like  infancy.     He  would  have  prayed, 
and  even  began  a  prayer ;  but  then  he  recol- 
lected that  there  waa  no  God  here— nothing  to 
direct  events— nothing  but  chance.     He  shed 
many  and  bitter  tears  of  repentance.    At  last 
he  wept  himself  asleep.  ^    . 

When  Hafed  again  awoke  he  was  sitting  un- 
der his  palm-tree  in  his  own  beautiful  garden. 
It  was  morning.  At  the  appointed  moment, 
the  glorious  sun  rose  up  in  the  east; — the  fields 
were  all  green  and  fresh;  the  trees  were  all  right 
end  upwards,  and  covered  with  blossoms;  the 
beautiful  deer^ere  bounding  in  their  gladness, 
over  the  lawn,  and  the  songsters  in  the  trees, 
which,  in  plumage  and  sweetness,  might  have 
vied  with  those  that  sang  in  Eden,  were  utter- 
ing their  morning  song. 

Hafed  arose,- recalled  that  ugly  dream,  and 
then  wept  for  joy.  Was  he  again  in  a  world 
where  chance  does  not  reign?  He  looked  up 
and  then  turned  to  the  God  of  heaven  and 
earth,— the  God  of  laws  and  of  order.  He 
gave  glory  to  him,  and  confessed  that  his  wiws, 
to  us  unseaachable,  are  full  of  wisdom.  He 
was  a  new  man.  Tears  indeed  fell  at  the 
graves  of  his  family;  but  he  now  lived  to  do 
good  to  men,  and  to  make  others  happy.  He 
called  a  young  and  worthy  couple,  distant  rela- 
tives ,  to  fill  his  house.  His  home  again  smiled, 
and  peace  and  contentment  came  back,  and 
were  hLs  abiding  guests. 

Hafed  would  never  venture  to  affirm  whetn- 
er  this  was  a  dream,  or  a  reality.  On  the 
whole,  he  was  inclined  to  think  it  real,  ami 
that  there  is  somewhere  a  "chance-world;"  but 
he  always  shook  his  head,  and  declared  that,  «o 
far  from  wishing  to  live  there,  nothing  gave 
him  greater  cause  of  gratitude  as  he  daily  knelt 
in  prayer,  than  the  fact,  that  he  hved  in  a 
world  where  God  ruled,— and  ruled  by  laws 
fixed,  wise,  and  merciful.

O'er  the  wide  waters  lifts  bit  mighty  rod, 
And  on  ward  treads— The  ciroling  wares  retreat 
In  hoarse,  deep  marmnrs,  from  his  holy  feet; 
And  the  chas'd  surges,  inly  roaring,  show 
The  hard  wet  sand  and  coral  hills  bclojv. 

With  limbs  that  falter,  and  with  hearts  that 
•well, 
Down,  downtheypass-s  steep  and  slippery  dell. 
Around  them  rise,  in  pristine  chaos  hurl'd, 
The  ancient  rocks,  the  secrets  of  the  world; 
And  flowers  that  blush  beneath  the  ocean  green. 
And  caves,  the   sea-QgljCfia'  low-roof'd  haunt, 

are  seen. 
Down,  snfelydown  the  narrow  pass  they  tread; 
The  beetling  waters  etorna  above  their  head : 
While  far  behind  retires  the  sinking  day. 
And  fades  on  EJom's  hills  its  latest  ray. 

Yet  not  from  Israel  fled  the  friendly  li^ht. 
Or  dark  to  them,  or  cheerless  came  the  night. 
Still  in  their  van,  along  that  dreadful  road, 
Blaz'd  broad  and   fierce,  the  brandish'd  torch 

of  God. 
Its  meteor  glare  a  tenfold  lustre  gave 
On  the  long  mirror  of  the  rosy  wave  : 
While  its  blest  beams  a  snnlike  heat  supply 
Warm  *'Yfry  oh^«lf  and  dsnop  in  pvpry  cyp — 
To  them  alone — for  Micraim's  wizard  train 
Invoke  for  light  their  monster-gods  in  vain : 
Clouds  heap'd  on  elouds  their  struggling  sight 

confine, 
And  tenfold  darkness  broods  above  their  line. 
Yet  on  thvy  fare  by  reckless  vengeance  led. 
And  range  unconscious  through  the  ocean's  bed. 
Till  midway  now — that  strange  and  fiery  form 
Show'd  his    dread  visage  lightening    through 

the  atorm  ; 
With  witb'ring  splendor  blasted  all  their  might. 
And    brake  their  obariot^wheels,  and  marred 

their  coursers'  flight. 
"  Fly,   Mizraim,   fly  !" — The    ravenous  floods 

And,  fiercer  than  the  floode,  the  Deity. 
"Fly,  Mizraim,  fly!" — From  Edom's  coral  strand 
Again  the  prophet  stretch'd  his  dreadful  wand  : 
With  one  wild  crash   the   thundering  waters 

sweep, 
And  all  is  waves — a  dark  and  lonely  deep. 
Yet  o'er  these  lonely  waves  such  murmurs  past> 
As  mortal  wailing  swell'd  tlie  nightly  blast: 
And  strange  and  sad  the  whispering  breezes 

bore 
The  groans  of  Egypt  to  Arabia's  shore. 


A  Friendly  Visit   to  the   House   of 
Mourning. 

ADAPTED  FROM  RKV.  BICHARD  CKCIL. 

"  Amid  the  list  of  blessings  infinite. 
Stand,  this  the  foremost,  '  That  my  heart  haa 

bled.' 
For  all  I  bless  Thee — most  for  the  severe." 

Your  present  affliction,  my  dear  friend,  de 
mands  something  more  than  the  usual  forms  of 
condolence.  Sorrow  which,  like  yours,  cannot 
bo  prevented,  may  yet  be  alleviated  and  im- 
proved. This  is  ray  design  in  addressing  you, 
and  if  I  seem  to  intrude  upon  your  retirement, 
let  my  motive  be  my  apology.  Having  felt 
how  much  "  better  it  is  to  go  to  the  house  of 
mourning  than  to  the  house  of  feasting  ;"  [Ec- 
clesiaatcs  vii.,  2.]  having  received  my  best  les- 
sons, companions  and  even  comforts  in  it,  1 
wonid  administer  from  my  little  stock  of  ex- 
perience ;  and  while  I  thus  endeavor  to  assist 
yoar  meditations, shall  rejoice  if  I  may  contrib- 
ate,  though  bnt  a  mito,  to  your  comfort. 

Were  1,  indeed,  acquainted  with  the  pecu- 
liar ciroomBtauctis  of  your  loss,  I  should  employ 
particalar  considerations  ;  but  my  present 
addreas  can  have  only  a  general  aim,  which  is, 
to  acquaint  the  heart,  at  a  favorable  moment, 


with  its  grand  concerns  ;  to  give  it  a  aertow 
impression  wheu  softened,  and  a  heavenly 
direction  when  moved.     Let  us,  therefore,  sit 

ing.  If  "  the  heart  of  the  wise  be  foand"  here, 
your  experience,  I  hope,  will  prove  that  here 
also  it  is  formed  ;  and  let  us  calmly  conttmplate 
some  momentous  objects  intimately  connected 
with  it,  and  viewed  with  peculiar  advantage 
from  it. 

Our  GoD  is  the  first  of  these  objects :  with 
him  we  seldom  form  any  close  acquaintance  till 
we  meet  him  in  trouble.  He  commands  silence 
now,  that  he  may  be  beard ;  and  removes 
intervening  objects,  that  he  may  be  seen. 

A  Sovereign  Disposer  appears,  who,  as  Lord 
of  all,  has  only  resumed  what  he  lent ;  whose 
will  is  the  law  of  his  creatures,  and  who  ex- 
pressly declares  his  will  in  the  present  affliction. 
We  should  seriMsly  consider  that  all  allowed 
repugnance  to  the  determinations  of  his  gov- 
ernment, however  made  known  to  us,  is  sin  ; 
and  that  every  wish  to  alter  the  appointments 
of  his  wisdom  is  folly  :  we  know  not  what  we 
want.  When  God  discovers  himself  in  any 
matter,  those  who  know  him  "  will  keep  silence 
before  him."  "  Shall  he  that  contendeth  with 
the  Almighty  instruct  him  ?"  How  just  was 
iho  rpply  of  Job,  "  Bohold,  I  am  vile !  what 
shall  I  answer  thee  ?  I  will  lay  my  hand  upon 
my  mouth." 

This  silent  submission  tinder  trying  dispen- 
sations, is  variously  exemplified,  as  well  as 
inculcated,  in  the  Scriptures.  An  awful  in- 
stance of  sin  and  sorrow  occurs  in  the  family 
of  Afkron  :  his  sods  disregarded  a  Divine 
appointment,  and  "  there  went  out  fire  from  the 
Lord  and  devoured  them  ;  but  Aaron  held  his 
peace."— [Levit.  x.,  3.]  Eli,  in  similar  cir- 
cumstance, silenced  his  heart  with  this  single 
but  sufficient  consideration, "  It  is  the  Lord." — 
[1  Sam.  iii.,  18.]  David,  under  a  stroke  which 
ne  declare^)  consumed  iiim,  oboorvas,  "  I  wus 
dumb,  I  opened  not  my  mouth,  because  Thou 
didst  it."  And  Job,  when  stripped  of  every 
comfort,  b!e3.=ed  the  name  of  him  whb  "  took 
away"  as  well  as  "gave."  Whatever  be  the 
nature  of  ycrur  calamity,  may  it  be  attended 
with  such  an  bumble  and  childlike  spirit  as 
these  possessed  1 

But  the  Sovereign  Disposer  is  also  the  (Jom- 
passionate  Father.  Among  other  instances  of 
His  tenderness,  you  may  have  observed  the 
peculiar  supports  he  affords  under  peculiar 
trials.  Let  us  mark  and  acknowledge  the 
hand  which  mingles  mercy  with  judgment,  and 
alleviation  with  distress.  The  parents  I  have 
just  mentioned  lost  their  children  under  cir- 
cumstances far  more  distressing  than  yours  ; 
the  desire  of  your  eyes  (if  not  the  idohof  your 
heart)  was,  perhaps,  almost  a  stranger ;  yoa 
strove  hard  to  detain  it,  but  the  Wise  Father 
above  again  took  what  he  gave.  Yqab  heart 
breaks ;  you  feel  the  loss,  but  what  do  you 
know  ;  is  not  this  infinitely  better  than  any- 
thing you  could  do  for  it  ?  Could  yoa  say  to 
it,  if  it  had  lived.  Thou  shalt  "weep  no  more, 
the  days  of  thy  mourning  are  ended  ?"  Gould 
yoa  show  it  anything  in  this  world  like  the 
glory  of  God.  Could  you  raise  it  to  any  hon- 
or here  like  living  among  the  blessed  souls, 
enjoying  the  fulness  of  God.  The  voice  of  the 
Father  of  mercies  speaks  as  distinctly  in  the 
death,  as  in  the  birth  of  an  infant. 

Is  it  a  pious  friend  that  haa  just  yielded  up 
his  breath  ?  The  same  voice  seems  to  say, 
Turn  from  him,  or  rather  turn  from  his  clay, 
his  faded  garment.  "He"  himself  "is  taken 
from  the  evil  to  come  ;  he  is  entered  into  peace." 
When  the  exemplary  parent,  the  belove? 
brother  or  sistr,  or  the  faithful  partner  is  re- 
moved, coosternatiou  often  seizes  the  circle 


which  they  bU aaed.  Yon  are  no  stunned  bj 
the  sudden  blow,  or  occupied  with  the  dis- 
tressing circumstance*,  that  you  scarcely  can 
hear  God  aaying,  Fear^ot,  I,  evep  I,  am  he 
that  comforteth  you ;  Tt,  your  Fatibicr,  am 
yet  alive ;  I  gave  you  your  departed  friend  ;  I 
sent  every  benefit  which  was  conveyed  through 
him  ;  trust  me  for  ble  sings  yet  in  store  ;  trust 
me  with  him  and  with  yourselves.

The  Two  Brothers. 

The  Count  de  L'gnivil'e,  and  Count  D'Au-  j 
tricoort,  twine,  descended    from   an  ancient 
family  in  Lorraine,  resembled  each  other  so 
much,  that  when  they  put  on  the  same  kind  of 
dress,  which  they  did  now  and  then  for  amuse- 
ment, their  servants  could  not  distinguish  the 
one  from  the  other.    Their  voice,  gait  and  de- 
portment were  the  same,  and  these  marks  of  re- 
semblance were  so  perfect,  that  they  often 
threw  their  firiends,  and  even  their  wives,  into 
the  greatest  embarrassment.     Bein^both  cap 
tains  of  light-horse,  the  one  would  put  himself 
at  the  h«ad  of  the  other's  squadron  without  the 
officers  ever  suspecting  the  change.     Count 
D'Autricourt  having  committed  some  oBence, 
the   Count  de  Ligniville  never   suffered  his 
brother  to  g*-*tt4  without  accompanying  him. 
and  the  fear  of  seizing  the  innocent  instead  of 
the  guilty,   rendered  the  orders  to  arrest  the 
former  of  no  avail.     One  day  Count  de  Ligni- 
ville  sent  for  a  barber,  and  after  having  suffered 
him  to  shave  one-half  of  his  beard,  he  pretended 
to  have  occasion  to  go  into  the  next  apartment, 
where  he  put  his  night-gown  upon  his  brother, 
who  was  concealed  there,  and  taking  the  cloth 
which  be  had  about  his  neck   under  his  chin, 
xnaAc  him  sit  down  in  the  place  which  he  had 
just  quitted.    The  barber  immediately  resumed 
his   operation,   and  waa  proceeding  to   finish 
what  he  had  begun,  as  he  supposed,  but  to  his 
great  astonishment  he  found  that  a  new  beard 
had  sprung  up.    Not  doubting  that  the  person 
under  his  hands  was  the  devil,  he  roared  out 
with  terror,  and  sunk  down  in  a  swoon  on  the 
floor.    While  they  were  endeavoring  to  recall 
him  to  life.  Count  D'Autricourt  retired  again 
into  the  closet,  and  .Count  de  Ligniville,  who 
was  half  shaved,  returned  to  his  former  place. 
This  was  a  new   cause  of  surprise  to  the  poor 
barber,  who  now  imagined  that  all  he  had  seen 
was  a  dream,  and  he  could  not  be  convinced  of 
the  truth  until  he  beheld  the  two  brothers 
together.    The  sympathy   that  subsisted  be- 
tween the  brothers  was  lo  less  singular  than 
their  resemblance.    If  one  fell  sick,  the  other 
was  indisposed  also ;  if  one  received  a  wound 
the  other  felt  pain  ;  and  this  was  the  case  with 
every  misfortune  that  befel  them,  so  that  on 
that  account,  they  watched  over  each  other's 
conduct  with  the  greatest  care  and  attention. 
But  what  is  still  more  astonishing,  they  both 
had  often   the   same  dreams.    The  day  that 
Count  D'Autricourt  waa  attacked  in   France 
by  the  fever  of  which  he  died.  Count  de  Ligni- 
ville was  avtacked  by  the  same  in  Bavaria,  and 
was  near  sinking  under  i

Passover. 
If  the  history  of  all  nations  claims  our  atten- 
tion, because  the  past  offers  ita  instruction  to 
teach  us  how  to  act  for  the  future,  the  history 
of  ttie  ;ie  ws,  In  adaitiontBthfe,  pohrtH  out  wha*^ 
will  take  place  hereafter.    We   devote  the 
present  article  to  the  Pasah  festival,  established 
to  commemorate  events  which  took  place  up- 
wards of  thirty  centuries  ago.    All  our  readers 
are  doubtless  sufficiently  acquainted  with  the 
history  of  our  nation  to  know  that,  the  Israel- 
ites were  bond-men   in  Mizraim  ;  that  Divine 
Omnipotence  evinced   its   interposition  in  a 
series  of  miraculous  events,  which  at  once  pun- 
ished the  tyrannic  taskthasters,  and  restored 
our  ancestors  to  freedom.    The  minute  facta 
are  recorded  in  a  book  written  at  the  time,  and 
acknowledged  as  authentic  by  the  greatest  part 
of  the  civilized   world.    And  it  is  worthy  of 
remark,  that  those  inhabitants  of  this  terrestrial 
globe  who  do  not  know  or  admit  the  Divine 
authority  of  this  book,  are  yet  in  the  infancy 
of  civilization,  and  hagjjpidopted  systems  of 
religion  so  puerile,  supefititious  and  contrary 
to  reason,  that  no  civilized  infidel,  who  refuses 
to  bow  to  the  authority  of  this  book,  (in  oppo- 
sition to  the  practice  of  the  iramenae  majority 
of  his  fellow-citizens.)    would,  for  an  insUnt, 
think  of  adopting  those  systems.    We  mention 
the  extensive  autfaorHy  edtwedcd  to  the  Bible, 
not  aa  of  iteelf  furnishing  any  sufficient  proof 
of  the  Divine  origin  of  that  beok,  but  because 
in  this  enlightened  age  of  science  and  discovery, 
when  men  boast  of  their  profound  research, 
mature  investigation,  and  ripe  judgment,  very 
few,  in  matters  of  religion,  possess  sufficient 
strength  of  mind  and  of  principle  to  be  guided 
by  the  unbiased    conviction  of   their    own 
minds    (as   was  Abraham  in  his  days ;)   but 
most  men  are  swayed  and  influenced  by  num- 
bers ;  and  the  more  extended  is  the  suffrage  in 
support  of  any  particular  opinion,  the  more 
convinced  they  become  of  ita  truth.     We, 
however,  can  dispense  with  this  adventitious 
support.  God's  holy  law,  the  books  in  which 
it  is  recorded,  are  an  inheritance  descended  to 
us  from  our  fathers,  as  it  reached  them  from 
theirs.    They  assuredly  would  not  deceive  us, 
;any  morethan  their    fathers  would  deceive 
them  :  and  when  they  tell  us,  "  This  is  what 
we  received  from  our  fathers,  who  received  it 
from  theirs  ,^~^  succeeding  generation  from 
its  predecessors  up  to  those  who  witnessed,  at 
the  very  time,  the  events  recorded  in  this  book, 
which,  unaltered,  we  now  confide  to  you  ;"— 
when  they  tell  us  tbi8,-we  have  no  reasonable 
right  to  doubt  their  veracity,  as  they  can  have 
no  probable  motive  to  abuse  our  confidence. 

One  of  the  events  related  in  that  book  is  the 
miraculous  exit  of  the  Israelites  from  Jiizraim. 
This  relation  is  held  to  be  so  very  important, 
that,  in  very  many  passages  of  Holy  Writ,  the 
fact  IS  repeated,  and  numerous  laws  ^  observ- 
ances are  enjoined  in  order  to  perj^tuate  its 
memory.

rere  understood ;  cereiBOuy-nun  to  ceremony 

nen  were  ceremonidusly  polite  to  one  another. 

The  Jews  and  Chinese  even  intermarried  ;  on 

Ibeir  first  introduction  by  way  of  Persia  to  the 

phinese  Empire,  they   had  settled  here  and 

there  in  sundry    Chinese   cities  ;  but  by    the 

Carriage  of  Chinese  disciples  of  Confucius  or 

luhomet,  the  Jewish   colonies   were  melted 

iown  into  the  pure  Chinese  metal  ;  and  when 

Ihis  history   begins,  nothing  is  known  of  any 

lynagogue  in   China,   save  the  syangogue  at 

Cui-fdtang  fou,  which  is  a  city  in  the  heart  of 

khe  Flowery   Land,  the   capital  of  the  central 

Wvince  ofHonun  ;  and  for  an  account  of  which 

ffc  are  indvbted  to  Father  llicci,  one  of  the 

Jesuit  Missionaries." 

Father  Ricci  died  in  the  year  1610,  at  Pe- 
kin,  which  was  his  station.  Father  Ricci  at 
Pckin,  first  heard  of  the  Jewish  synagogue  at 
Lai-fouug-foa,  and  the  information  startled 
him  exceedingly.  The  young  Jew  who  en- 
lightened Father  Ricci  on  the  subject  told 
bim  there  were  then  at  Kai  foung-fou  barely  a 
dozen  Jewish  families,  and  that  for  five  or  six 
hundred  years  they  had  preserved  in  their  syn- 
Lgogue  a  very  ancient  copy  of  the  Pentateuch. 
The  father  produced  a  Hebrew  Bible,  and  the 
young  man  recognized  the  characters,  although 
he  could  not  read  them,  for  he  knew  no  Ian 
guage  but  Chinese.  Four  years  after  this, 
?ather  Ricci  (whose  business  at  Pekih  would 
not  permit  him  to  go  gadding)  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  sending  off  to  Kai  foung-fou  a  Chinese 
Jesuit,  with  a  letter  written  in  Chinese,  to  the 

lief  of  the  synagogue.  He  explained  to  the 
ilabbi  his  ow^  reverenc%|ai:  the  books  of  the

piuch  as  if  Dr.  Jones  of  Bettws-y-Coed  should 
pfTer  his  practice  to  Sir  B.  Brodie  of  London.) 
Father  Ricci  had  a  larger  work  in  hand,  and 
ko  he  stopped  at  Pekin.  *" 

In  1613,  Father  Aleni  (such  an  uncommonly 

iriee  man,  that  the  Chinese  called  him  the 

ponfucius  of  Europe)  was  directed  to  proceed 

Kai-foung-fou    and    make    investigation. 

Father  Aleni,  being  well  in  bis  Hebrew,  was 

I  promising  man  to  send  on   such   an  errand, 

put  he  found  the  Rabbi  dead,  and  the  Jews, 

Ihough  they  let  him  see  the  synagogue,  would 

pot  produce  their  books.    The  particulars  of 

pothing  having  been  done  on  this  occasion  are 

to  be  found  related  by   Father  Trigaut,  in 

choice  Latin,  and  choicer  Italian,  {de  Expedit. 

iimica,  lib.  1.,  cap.  2,  p.  118)   and  by   Father 

3amedo  {Relatione delta  China,parl  1.,  cap.  30, 

.193.) 

A  residence  was  established  by  the  Jesuits 
fn  Kai-foung-foo.  Now,  thought  those  who 
Itbought  at  all  upon  such  matters,  we  shall  have 
jBoraething  done.  If  we  can  only  compare  our 
loid  Testament  texts  with  an  ancient  exemplar, 
■that  will  bo  no  small  gain.  A  certain  Father 
lUozani  went  zealously  into  the  whole  subject, 
[entered  the  synagogue,  copied  the  inscriptions, 
l&nd  transmitted  them  to  Rome. 

The  Jews  told  Father  Gozani  that  in  a 
jtemple  at  Pekin  was  a  large  volume,  wherein 
I  were  inscribed  the  sacred  books  of  foreigners 


resident  in  China.  That  volume  waa  sought 
aftwwards  by  SouupeaiuL  At  PeMiu  but  not 
found.  Cejrtaialy  such  a  volume  does  exist 
among  the  Chinese  records.  The  Jews,  how- 
ever, told  Father  Gozani  not  only  about  what 
existed  in  Pckin,  but  all  about  themselves  at 
Kai-foung  fou.  The  Father  wrote  a  letter, 
dated  1704,  containing  what  he  learned  16  this

of  "soft  sawder"  which  is  or  ought  to  be  well 
understood  by  men  of  the  world  and  Jesuits, 


the  Father  gratified  the  Jews,  so  that  ^hey     ducted  us  to  the  Hall  of  Strangers,  in  order  to 


paid  him  voluntary  visits.  He  returned  |heir 
visits  by  a  call  upon  them  at  their  synagogue, 
where,  he  says — "I  bad  a  long  eonversation 
with  them ;  and  they  showed  me  their  inscrip- 
tions ;  some  of  which  are  in  Chine8e,and  others 
in  their  own  tongue.  I  saw  also  their  Kim^r

me  that  in  this  hall  they  honored  their  Chimr

largest  of  these  censers,  which  is  intended  for 
the  Patriarch  Abraham,  stands  in  the  middle 
of  the  hall,  after  which  cornea  those  of  Isaac, 
and  Jacob,  and  his  twelve  branches,  or  the 
Twelve  Tribes  of  Israel; next  are  those  of 
Moses,  Aaronj,,^Jo8haa,  Esdras,  and  several 
other  illustriottft  persons,  both  male  and  fe- 
male. 

After  quitting  this  apartment,  they  con-

places  of  the  synagogue,  coffers,  in  which  are 
shut  up  with  great  care  several  other  little 
books,  containing  different  divisions  of  the 
Pentateuch  of  Moses,  which  they  call  Ta-Kim, 
and  other  ^ts  of  the  law.  They  use  these 
books  wftf  n"  they  pray;  they  showed  me  some 
of  them,  which  appeared  to  be  written  in  He- 
brew. They  were  partly  new  and  partly  old, 
and  half  torn.  They,  however,  bestow  as  much 
attention  on  guarding  them  as  if  they  were 
gold  or  silver. 

"  In  the  middle  of  the  synagogue  stands  a 
magnificent  chair,  raised  very  high,  and  orna- 
mented with  a  beautiful  embroidered  cushion. 
This  is  the  chair  of  Moses,  in  which  every 
Saturday,  and  ten  days  of  great  solemnity, 
they  place  their  Pentateuch,  and  read  some 
portions  of  it.  There  also  may  be  seen  a  Van- 
sni-pai,  or  painting,  on  which  is  inscribed  the 
Emperor's  name  ;  bnt  they  have  neither  stat- 
ues nor  images.  This  synagogue  fronts  the 
west,  and  when  they  address  their  prayers  to 
the  Supreme  Being,  they  turn  towards  that 
quarter,  and  adore  him  under  the  name  of  Tien, 
Cham-Tien,  Cfiamti,  and  Kao-van-voe-tc/u ; 
that  is  to  say,  Creator  of  all  things ;  and  lastly^ 
of  Van-voe^tolit-tcai,  Governor  of  the  Universe. 
They  told  me  that  they  had  taken  these  names 
from  the  Chinese  books,  and  that  they  used 
them  to  express  the  Supreme  Being,  ond  First 
Cause. 

"  In  going  out  from  the  synagogue,  I  ob- 
served a  hall,  which  I  had  the  curiosity  to 
cuter,  but  I  found  nothing  remarkable  in  it, 
except  a  great  number  of  censers.    They  told 


give  us  an  entertainment.  As  the  titles  of  the 
TTooks  of  the  Old  Testament  were  printed  in 
Hebrew  at  the  end  of  my  Bible,  I  showed 
them  to  Cham-Kiao,  or  chief  of  the  synagogue ; 
he  immediately  read  them,  though  they  were 
badly  printed,  and  he  told  me  that  they  were 
the  names  of  their  Chm-Kim,  or  Pentateuch, 
then  took  my  Bible,  and  the  Chan-Kiao  took 
Bersith  (thus  they  name  the  book  Genesis) ; 
compared  the  descendants  of  Adam,  until 
>•(),  with  the  age  of  each,  nnd  we  found  the 
most  pertect  coulwjmity  between  both.  We 
f fterwards  ran  0|iKh(  names  and  chronology 
."pi  Genesis,  Exoditi^S^viticas,  Numbers,  and 
Deuteronomy,  which  compose  the  Pentateuch, 
■ftr  ive  "ttookg  of  Moses.  Tiro  chief  of  tiro 
8yMflU)zae  told  me  that  they  named  these  five 
bool»  Beresitk,  Veelesemo!h,  Vaiiora*  Vaied- 
vbbtr,  arfd  Haddebarim,  and  that  they  divided 
,  thea|.into  fifty-three  volumes;  viz.,  Genesis 
Into  ifwelve,  Exodus  into  eleven,  and  the  three 
following  books  into  ten  volumes  each,  which 
they  call  Kuen.  Some  of  these  they  opened, 
and  prepentod  to  me  to  read  ;  but  it  was  to  no 
purpose,  as  1  was  unacquainted  with  the  He- 
brew language.

jitles  of  the  other  books  of  the  BltTOnlie  chief

^  Strange  Dream. 

In  the  night  of  the  11th  of  May,  1812,  Mr. 
Williams,  of  Scorrier  house,  near  Redruth,  in 
Cornwall,  awoke  his  wife,  and  exceedingly  agi- 
tated, told  her,  that  he  had  dreamed  that  he 
was  in  the  lobby  of  the  House  of  Commons, 
and  saw  a  man  shoot  with  a  pistol,  a  gentle- 
man who  had  just  entered  the  lobby,  who  was 
Said  to  be  the  chancellor;  to  which  Mrs.  Will- 
iams naturally  replied  that  it  was  only  a  dream, 
and  recommended  him  to  be  composed,  and  to 
go  to  sleep  as  soon  as  he  could.  Jle  did  so, 
and  shortly  after  again  awoke  her,  and  said, 
that  he  had  the  second  time  had  the  same 
dream;  whereupon  she  observed,  he  had  been 
«o  much  agitated  with  his  former  dream,  that 
she  supposed  it  had  dwelt  on  his  mind,  and 
begged  of  him  to  try  to  compose  himself,  and 
go  to  sleep,  which  he  did.  A  third  time  the 
vision  was  repeated;  on  which,  notwithstanding 
her  entreaties  that  he  Would  be  quiet,  and  en- 
deavor to  forget  it,  he  arose,  being  then  be- 
tween one  and  two  o'clock,  and  dressed  him- 
■elf.  At  breakfast,  the  dreams  were  the  solo 
subject  of  conversation;  and  in  the  forenoon 


Mr.  Williams  went  to  Falmouth,  where  be  re- 
lated the  particulars  of  them  to  all  of  hii  ac- 
quaintance  thaT  he  met.  On  1B«  following 
day,  Mr.  Tucker  of  Trematon  Castle,  accom- 
panied  by  his  wife,  a  daughter  of  Mr.  Williams, 
went  to  Scorrier  house  about  dusk. 

Immediately  after  the  first  salutations,  on 
their  entering  the  parlor,  where  were  Mr.,  Mrs., 
and  Miss  Williams,  Mr.  Williams  began  to  re- 
late to  Mr  Tucker  the  circumstances  of  his 
dream;  and  Mrs.  Williams  observed  to  her 
daughter,  Mrs,  Tucker,  laughingly,  that  her 
father  could  not  even  suffer  Mr.  Tucker  to  be 
seated,  before  he  told  him  of  his  nocturnal  visit- 
ation: on  the  statement  of  which,  Mr.  Tucker 
observed,  that  it  would  do  very  well  for  a 
dream  to  have  the  ehiincollor  in  the  lobby  of 
the  House  of  Commons,  but  he  would  not  be 
found  there  in  reality;  and  Mr.  Tucker  then 
asked  what  sort  of  a  man  he  appeared  to  be, 
when  Mr.  Williams  minutely  described  him;  to 
which  Mr.  Tucker  replied:  Your  description  is 
not  at  all  that  of  the  chancellor,  but  it  is  cer- 
tainly th&t  of  Mr.  Perceval,  the  chancellor 
of  the  exchetjuer;  and  although  ho  has  been  to 
me  the  greatest  enemy  I  ever  mot  wiWi  through 
life,  for  a  supposed  cause,  which  had  no  foun- 
dation  in  truth,  (or  worda  iQ  th«t  effect,)  I 
should  be  exceedingly  sorry  indeed  to  hear  of 
his  being  assassinated,  or  of  an  injury  of  the 
kind  happening  to  him.  Mr.  Tucker  then  in- 
quired of  Mr.  Williams  if  he  had  never  seen 
Mr.  Perceval,  and  was  told  that  he  had  never 
seen  him,  nor  had  ever  even  written  to  him, 
either  on  public  or  private  business;  in  short 
that  he  never  had  any  thing  to  do  with  him, 
nor  had  he  ever  been  in  the  lobby  of  the  House 
of  Commons  in  his  life.  Whilst  Mr.-  Williams 
and  Mr.  Tucker  were  still  standing,  they  heard 
a  horse  gallop  to  the  door  of  the  house,  akd 
immediately  after  Mr.  Michael  Williams  W 
Treviner  (son  of  Mr.  Williams  of  Scorrier)  en- 
tered the  room  and  sail),, that  he  had  g(vU^^ 
out  from  Truro,  (froiylg.l^  ^oorrier^i^".^ 
tant  seven  miles,)  h«^iql  ma^'a  g*ittk«lib 
there/i»ho  had  cqij^^j?^  evjjujng'*  mail 
from  London,  '"WfK^'^^  ^^  ^^  ^Wa  ».

evening  otttsJ  IwpBlft 

ham  had  shot   Mr.    Perceval; »ftnf         

might  occaaion  some  great  ministerial  changes, 
and  might  effect  Mr.  Tucker's  political  friends, 
he  had  come  as  fast  as  he  could,  to  make  him 
acquainted  with  it,  having  heard  at  Truro,  that 
he  had  passed  through  that  place  on  his  way 
to  Scorrier.  After  the  astonishment  which 
this  intelligence  had  created,  had  a  little  sub- 
sided, Mr.  Williams  described  most  particular- 
ly the  appearance  and  dress  of  the  man  that  he 
saw  in  his  dream  fire  the  pistol,  as  he  had  be- 
fore done  of  Mr.  Perceval.  About  six  weeks 
after,  Mr.  Williams  having  business  in  town, 
went,  accompanied  by  a  friend,  to  the  House 
of  Commons,  where,  as  has  been  already  ob- 
served, he  had  never  before  been.  Immediate- 
ly that  he  came  to  the  steps  at  the  entrance  of 
the  lobby,  he  said,  'This  place  is  as  distinctly 
within  my  recollection,  in  my  dream,  as  any 
room  in  my  house;  and  he  made  the  same  obser- 
vation when  he  enlercd  the  lobby.  He  then 
jwinted  out  the  exact  spot  where  Bellingham 
stood  when  he  .Ired,  and  which  Mr.  Perceval 
had  reached  when  he  waa  struck  by  the  ball, 
and  where  and  how  he  fell.  The  dress,  both 
of  Mr.  Perceval  and  Bellingham,  agreed  with 
the  descriptions  given  by  Mr.  Williams,  even 
to  the  most  minute  particulari). 

The  Times  states,  that  Mr.  Williams  was 
then  alive,  and  the  witnesses,  to  whom  he  bad 
made  known  the  particulars  of  his  dream,  wore 
also  living  ;  and  that  the  editor  had  received 
the  statement  from  a  correspondent  of  nuquei- 
tionable  authority.

FRESH  CAbTTURNIA 


The  Pi'acticing  Thief. 

"  Whoso  robbeth  his  father  or  his  mother,  and 
Baith,  it  is  no  transgressioti,  the  same  is  th« 
companion  of  n  destroyer,"— Prov.  xxviii.  24. 

Children,  oven  of  nn  early  age,  are  too 
apt  to  think  that  what  belongs  to  their 
parents  is  their  own,  and  that  they  have 
a  right  to  make  as  free  with  it  as  they 
please.  This  is  very  wrong  ;  and  Solo- 
mon says,  it  is  robbery  and  an  offense. 
Children  should  take  nothing,  no,  not 
even  a  pin,  without  leave  or  asking. 

Bad  habits,  like  weeds,  grow  apace  ; 
and  those  who  steal  sugar,  plums,  and 
Bweet  articles,  may,  if  they  do  not  grow 
wiser  and  better,  think  it  uo  harm  to  take 
things  of  higher  value,  and  at  last  even 
to  take  money. 

"Ill  babita  gather  by  unseen  degrees, 
As  brooks  to  rivers,  rivers  run  to  seas." 

Children  that  are  guilty  of  such  acts 
are  often,  out  of  pity,  screened  by  their 
parents  ;  bat  in  some  cases  they  have  be- 
come 80  bad,  that  they  have  been  brought 
before  the  magistrate,  and  ))een  obliged 
to  undergo  severe  ijunishment  to  prevent 
them,  if  possible,  from  committing  other 
crimes  which  might  bring  them  to  a  more 
fatal  end. 

Those  who  live  to  grow  older  have 
often  run  their  parents  in  debt,  and  this 
is  robbery.  It  is  taking  money  from 
them  without  leave,  and  in  many  cases  it 
is  a  cruel  kind  of  robbery,  for  the  parent.s 
so  robbed  are  not  able  to  jmy.  Cluldren 
of  this  description  frequently  lose  the  af- 
fection of  kind  parents,  and  become  vaga- 
bonds in  the  earth. 

Then  beware  of  making  yourself  "  no 
bettor  than  a  robber  on  the  highway," 
and  so  becoming  "  the  companion  of  a  de-

The  Morning-Dream. 

A  citiLD,  whose  name  was  Leopold,  came 
down  from  his  little  chamber,  one  morning, 
weeping  bitterly,  so  that  the  bright  tears 
trickled  over  his  chcoks.  His  father  and  his 
mother  stcpt  anxiously  towards  him :  for  they 
feared  some  great  misfortune  bad  befallen  the 
child,  or  that  he  was  unwell  and  suffering  from 
pain  in  his  head  or  limbs.  And  they  queationcd 
the  child,  and  said  : '  Dear  child,  what  ailcth 
thee  ?  who  hath  done  thee  harm?" 

Then  the  child  opened  his  mouth,  and  said  : 
"  Ah !  I  had,  a  little  while  ago,  twelve  beauti- 
ful white  sheep;  and  they  went  about  me  here, 
and  licked  my  hand,  and  I  sat  amongst  them 
with  a  herdsman's  staff.  But  now  they  are 
all  gone ;  and  I  know  not  where  they  are  lost." 
And  as  he  said  this,  h«  began  to  weep  bitterly. 

Then  the  parents  perceived  the  source  of  the 
child's  distress,  and  that  he  had  been  dreaming ; 
and  they  smiled  to  each  other  quietly. 

And  the  fatiier  said  :  "We  may  well  smile. 


twelve  sheep.  Then  the  parents  consulted 
with  each  other  as  to  what  should  be  done, 
and  the  father  arose  and  said  :  "  Polly,  I  will 
go  and  peek  tliy  sheep."  And  he  went  and 
bought  a  lamb,  and  brought  it  and  placed  it 
where  the  child  saw  it.  Then  the  child  re- 
joiced greatly,  and  ran  hither  and  thither  about 
the  Iamb,  and  said  :  "  Yes !  That  is  it !  Tliat 
is  it  I  just  the  one  I  saw  1"  And  be  was  very 
glad  ;  but  of  the  other  eleven  Iambs  said  he 
nothing,  neither  seemed  h^  to  miss  them. 

Then  the  father  smiled  once  more,  and  said 
to  the  mother :  "In  dreams  and  tears  there 
seems  no  great  difference  between  grown-up 
folks  and  little  Polly  :  why  should  they  not  re- 
semble each  other  also  in  couteutedness  and 
satisfaction  with  the  least  and  most  easily 
procured  pleasure  ?"

PSALHXOi.  11,  12. 

The  wood-cut  of  this  number  shows  the 
idea  of  the  trutfol  child.  Qrimeaox,  the 
punter,  hu  taken  for  his  labject  the  two 


beautiful  passages  in   the  ninety-Srst   pea'm 
quoted  at  the  head  of  this  article. 

The  old  master,  who,  like  the  German  artists 
of  the  present  day,  drew  their  best  in-spirations 
from  the  Scriptures,  never,  perhaps,  embodied 
a  more  beautiful  idea  than  that  of  the  Guard- 
ian Angel.  A  little  Germanesque  it  might  be, 
bat  what  really  great  effort  is  nntinged  by  na- 
tionality T    We  might,  perhaps,  make  a  slight 


o'>jection  to  the  dress  of  the  little  pilgrim. 
This  however,  is  a  trifling  objection,  and  one 
which  wc  do  not  wish  to  urge,  as  the  picture, 
taken  as  a  whole,  is  a  fine  moral  poeih,  and 
full  of  moaning  in  every  line.  The  dangers  of 
life  arc  typified  by  the  dark  sea  which  lies  on 
each  side  of  the  narrow  neck  of  land  down  which 
the  child  is  being  guided  by  the  Angel.  The 
brink  of  the  precipice  on  either  band  is  hid- 


den by  flowers,  which  represent  the  delusive 
pleasures  of  the  world.  The  ^^ngel,  from  be- 
hind, like  a  mother  waiting  upon  the  trem- 
bling feet  of  an  infant,  with  carefbl  jpalms 
watches  leet  he  ,dionld  ^  twerve  from  the  nar-

around  u  though  doubly  to  msutc  the  child, 
for  doea  it  not  lay  in  the  psalm ; — 

"H«  ihall   cover  thee  with  his  feather*,  and 
under  hie  wing  •helt  tboo  truel.^ 

The  face  of  the  Angel  is  very  fine.     Annibal 
Caracci,  whose  angels,  "with  hair  blown  back," 
reach  the  highest  point  of  spiritual   feeling, 
never  painted  a  more   beautiful  one.      But 
description  is  dull  when  employed  upon  such 
a  picture  ;  we  have  been  vainly  attempting  to 
paint  with   the  pen,  what  the  reader  can  un- 
derstand at  one  glance  by  looking  at  the  wood- 
cut.    Mr.  Hcostis  has  done  full  justice  to  the 
design  by  the  masterly  manner  in  which  he  has 
engraved  it.     Both  in  idea  and  in  execution 
it  is  a  work  of  high  art.     Let  us  recommend 
those  of  oor   readers    who  appreciate    their 
beauty  to  obtain  separate   copies  of  the  num- 
bers containing  such  engravings,  and  to  have 
them  framed.    Huch   pictures  as  these  are  too 
good  to  remain  merely  closed  up  in  a  book. 
Go  forth,  then,  little  prints!  take  the  place 
upon  the  walls  of  the  artisan's  dwelling  of  the 
coarse  danhs  which  appeal  only  to  the  worst 
passions— pictures  of  prizefighters,  of  battles, 
of  Jack  Sheppard  and   Dick   Turpin,  male 
heroes  of  by  those  who  should  have   clevat«d 
instead  of  degraded  your  taste.  Let  the  miners 
put  them  np  agatiwl  the  Uoaina  of  their  fiahlO. 
let  your  children  have  them  before  their  eyes 
and  in  their  memory-such  pictures  as  these 
are  lessons   which  a  man    cannot  have  too 
constantly   before  him.    Wc  feel  sure  of  the 
port  folios  of  the  drawing-rooms.     It  is  our 
heart's  desire  to  make  the  stone  of  the  wall 
teach,  and   the  wooden  beam  bear  witness  ; 
and  they  are  made  eloquent  by  such  appeals 
as  the  picture  before  us  does  to  the  best  emo- 
tions of  the  heart. 

We  acknowledge  our  cfforU  are  but  feeble, 
but  we  hope  that  even  those  will  by  the  bless- 
ing of  God  da  much  good  to  those  for  whom 
they  are  intended.

There  was  Scripture  warrant,  then,  for  the  ci- 
istcuce  of  the  sea-serpent  of  which  so  n^ch 
had  been  heard,  but  which  none  had  been  i)le 
yet  to  capture.  Viewing  the  nature  of  ihse 
sea  animals,  he  showed  with  what  great  prw 
priety  the  Scriptures  made  distinct  mention  cf 
them  when  showing  the  origin  of  fish.  In  no- 
ticing the  origin  of  beasts,  &c..  he  adduced 
several  of  the  original  terms  to  show  that  they 
were  Onolatopoeorna.  He  referred  to  the 
Scripture  narrative  of  the  origin  of  the  human 
parents,  to  the  nomenclature  and  classification 
of  beasts  by  Adam,  whom  he  styl«d  the  first 
naturalist,  and  narrated  some  very  interesting 
Jewish  and  Mahommedan  legends  referring  to 
this  fact. 


of°knowledge  of  Zoology    possessed   by   the 
ancient  Hebrews.   He  showed  how  the  animals 
there  mentioned  were   classed  on' the    most 
strictly  scientific  principles-that  Moses  makes 
exception  to  classes,  (e.  g.  the  camel,)  just  as 
mod.rn  naturalists  do.    He  showed  the  identity 
of  the  ruminating  and  digestive  apparatus  of 
theanimals  and  birds  styled  clean-of  the  same 
idmtity  in  the  animals  and  birds  styled  unclean. 
1  l^  examined  the  terms  employed  for  the  four

Scripture  Zoology. 
The  intelligent  reader  will  be  pleased  with 
the  following  sketch  of  a  lecture  delivered  by 
Rev.  A.  DeSola,  of  Montreal,  before  the  Nat- 
ural History  Society,  of  that  city,  of  which  tie 
Montreal  Transcript  gives  the  following  no- 
tice : 

The  Rev.   A.  DeSola  delivered  a  lecture 
upon  this  subject  before  the  Natural  History 
Society  of  Montreal,  on   Thursday  evening. 
Dr.  Fraser,  occupied  the  chair,  and  introduced 
the  lecturer.    The  attendance  was  very  large 
and  the  lecture  was  listened  to  with  the  utmost 
attention  and  interest.    After  some  prelimina- 
ry remarks,  the  lecturer   said  there  were  two 
ways  in  which  this  subject  might  be  introduce'^ 
to. his  auditors;  and  it  must  be  evident  that 
his  remarks  that  evening  would  be  viewed  best 
as  a  mere  introduction  to  so  extensive  a  theme. 
The  first  would  be  to  refer  seriatim  to  those 
presages  of  Scripture  which  speak  of  the  ani- 
mal kingdom,  commenting  thereon  ;  and  the 
second,  to  show  what  the  most  ancient  nation- 
al traditions  and  poetrBiblical  writings  of  the 
Hebrew   people  asserted  and  taught,  with  re- 
ference   to   Scripture  Zoology.      The    latter 
method   of  treating  the  subject,  it  had  been 
suggested  to  him,  might  prove  the  more  ac- 
ceptable, as    these    traditional  sources   had 
become  somewhat  attainable  to  him  ;  while  he 
deferred  to  this  opinion,  he  would  not  overlook 
the  Biblical  text  iteelf ;  but  if  he  should  seem, 
in  the  course  of  his  remarks,  to  speak  of  the 
amount  of  zoological  knowledge  possessed  by 
the  Hebrew  people,  rather  than  that  exhibited 
in  the  Scripture,  his  hearers  would  remember 
he  was  blending  the  two  methods  of  treating 
the  subject.  Referring  to  Gen.  i.,  20,  he  showed 


affirming 
this  fact  had  been  too  much  overlooked  by  the 
advocates  of  an   exclusively  vegetable    diet. 
Abel  had  ample  opportunity  as  "  a  keeper  of 
sheep,"  or  of  flocks,  to  observe  the  habits  of  at 
L-ast  the  domestic  animals.    Traditions,  both 
Jewish  and  Mahommedan,  asserted  that  many 
animals  and  birds  possessed  originally  the  fac- 
ulty of  speech.    One  of  these  was  cited.    The 
knowledge  of  Zoology  possessed  by  Adam  was 
transmitted  not  only  to  Abel  but  to  Noah. 
The  lecturer  then,  at  some   length  referred  to 
the  selection  by  Noah  of  beasts  and   birds 
styled  unclean,  for  preservation  from  the  deluge 
and  for  sacrifice,  the  use   and  the  meaning  of 
the  terms  clean  and  unclean,  applied  thus  early 
to  birds  and  animals— and  said  that  the  dis- 
tinctive signs  were  well  known  to  Noah,  since 
nowhere  do  we  read,  of  any  directions   for 
selection  having  been  given  to  him. 

After  referring  fully  to  these  topics,  the  lec- 
turer spoke  of  the  laws  of  discrimination  laid 
down  in    Leviticus,  where  "  a  p^talogue   of 
various  oviparous  and  viviparous    creatures 
forbidden  to  the    Hebrews,"  is  given.     Before 
examining  these  closely,  Mr.  DeSola  referred 
to  the  large  amount  of  knowledge  of  Zoology 
and  Physiology  possessed  by  the  ancient  He- 
brews, as  evidenced  not  only  in  the  Scriptures, 
but  In  their  post-Biblical  writings.    He  citetl 
many  facts  to  show  this ;  among  them,  the  doc- 
trine of  the  viUlity  of  the  blood  taught  by 
Moses,  and  only  avowed  by  medical  writers  in 
lf.28of  the  Christian  Era— the  circulation  of 
the  blood— the  lecturer  referring  here  to  Solo- 
mon, who  was  a  great  naturalist,  and,  as  the 
4th  chapter  of  I.  Kings  showed  us,  "  spake  of 
trees,  from  the  cedar  that  is  in  Lebanon,  even 
unto  the  hyssop  that  groweth  out  of  the  wall, 
also  of  beasts,  of  fowls,  of  creeping  things,  and 
of  fishes."      That    this    knowledge   was    not 
entirely  lost,  but  much  preserved  and  contained 
in  the  traditional  literature  of  the  Hebrews, 
he  showed  from  the  Talmud's  mentioning  the 
true  number  of  the  members  of  the  human  Iramc 
—decided  at  a  comparatively  modern  period— 
from  iU  clear  reference  to  the  Secte  Cesarea— 
an  account  of  which,  as  had  been  universally 
admitted  by  medical  writers,  was  first  to  be 
found  mentioned  in  the  Talmud.    He  cited 
Professor  Smilie's  essay,  which  sUted  this  fact, 
and  who  adds  that  no  account  of  it  was  to  be 
met  in  any  medical  work  prior  to  the  fourteenth 


Stomachs  was  given,  and  much  interesting  in- 
formalioa  with  reference  to  the  traditional  no- 
tices of  birds  and  fishes.     The  remaining  por- 
tion of  th^  lecture  was  devoted  to  show  from 
Scripture  how  intimate  an  acquaintance  with 
the  nature  and  habits  of  various   animals  is 
indicated  therein.     He  selected  the  case  of  the 
lion,  and  cited  numerous  pissagcs  from  the 
parts  of  the  Bible  which  exhibited  a  most  full 
and  faithful  description  of  the  king  of  the 
beaste,  concluding  by  informing  his  hearers 
that  he  had  but  desired  to  introduce  the  sub- 
ject to  their  attention,   trusting    that  they 
would  find  it  sufficiently  interesting  to  studylt 
further  themselves— asd  the  biblical  sources 
were  in  every  man's  hands.    We  much  regret 
our  inability  to  give  more  than  the  above  very 
meagre  outline  of  the  reverend  speaker's  ad- 
dress, the  connected  nature  of  which  would 
require  a  much  fuller  report  to  do  it  justice. 


the  note,  she  was  proceeding  to  take  out  the 

watch  which  was  now  in  the  desk,  to  use  one 

of  the  seals  appended  to  it,  whfih  she  was 

astonished  to  find  it  had  stopped,  and  at  the

her  to  the  bedside  of  her  brother,  who,  to  her 
grief,  had  just  breathed  his  last.  The  dis^jse 
was  considered  to  be  progressing  favorably, 
when  he  was  seized  with  a  sudden  spasm,  and 
died  of  suffocation.  The  coincidence  between 
the  stoppage  of  the  watch  and  the  death  of 
the  brother.is  the  mostperplexing  circumstance 

of  the  case,  since  the  mere  stopping  of  the 
watch,  or  the  death  of  the  brother,  might 
have  been  explained  on  very  rational  princ.p  «; 
or  had  the  watch  stopped  before  or  after  the 
death  of  the  brother,  it  might  have  been  easily 
supposed  to  have  been  forgotten  to  be  wound 
up  ;  or  it  may  have  suffered  some  injury  from 
the  hurry  and  trepidation  incidental  to  anguish 
and  bereavement;  but  as  the  case  is  related,  it 
is  certainly  a  most  extr^rdinary,  surprising, 
and  mysterious  incident.

Singular  Coinoidenoe  of  Dreams. 

.__  following  case  is  quoted  from  Dr.  Aber- 
crombie,  who  states  "  that  its  accuracy  may 
be  relied  on  in  all  its  particulars" : 

Two  sisters  had  been  for  some  days  attending 
their  brother,  who  was  suffering  from  a  common 
sore-throat,  severe  and  protracted,   but  not 
considered  dangerous.    At  this  time  one  of  the 
sisters  had  obtained  the  lean  of  a  watch  from 
a  friend,  her  own  being  out  of  repair.    As  this 
watch  was  a  kind  of  heirloom  in  the  family  of 
the  lady  from  whom  it  had  been  borrowed,  par- 
ticular caution  was  given  lest  it  should  meet 
with  some  injury.    Both  of  the  sisters  slept  in 
a  room  adjoining  that  of  the  brother's,  and  one 
night  the  elder  awoke  the  younger  in  extreme 
alarm,  and  told  her  that  she  had  dreamed  that 
"  Mary's  watch  had  stopped,"  and  that  when 
she  had  told  her  of  it,  she  had  replied—"  MuCh 
worse  than  that  had  happened,  for  Charles's 
breath  had  stopped  also,"  as  she  had  dreamed. 
To  quiet  her  agitation,  the  younger  immediately 
arose,  proceeded  to  her  brother's  room,  found 
him  asleep,  and   the  watch,  which  bad   been 
carefully  put  away  in  a  drawer,  going  correctly. 
The  following  night  the  fame  dream  occurred, 
accompanied  by  the  same  agitation,  and  quieted 
iD  the  same  manner— the  brother  being  sound 
asleep,  and  the  watch  going.    In  the  morning, 
after   breakfast,  -one  of  these   ladies  having 
occasion  to  write  a  no!e,  proceeded  to  her  desk, 
while   the  other  eat  with  her  brother  in  the 
adjoining  room.     Having  written  and  folded

The  Religious  education  of  our  children  is 
and  ouirbt  to  bo  of  paramount  importance  o

As  Israelites,  the  obligation  to  instruct  oir 
children  in  the  true  principles  of  the  Mostc 
Religion,  and  in  the  language  of  the  county 
in  which  they  live,  is  evident  to  all  reflecti/e 
minds. 

A  society  lately  formed  under  the  name  of 
the  "  Baltimore  Hebrew  Sumlay  School  A-sso- 
ciation,"  offering  the  inducement  of  a  thorcugh 
Jewi.sh  education  (without  charge  for  tuition) 
to  the  youth  of  both  sexes,  is  now  in  successfcil 
operation,  at  the  Society's  Rooms,  No.  U 
Lexington  street,  Baltimore.  One  hundred 
and  fifty  scholars  have  alrvady  been  registered 
and  classified. 

Religious  and  competent  persons  have  been 
selected  to  perform  the  responsible  duties  of 
teachers. 

The  society  depends  for  its  support,  on  do-

soon  as  he  had  c)>6ie  to  him,  be  inquired  who 
ho  wap,  and  why  he  was  ia  such  a  lonely  place. 
The  man  answered  :  "  I  asa  very  poor,  old  and 
cripple.1  ;  and  not  being  iWc  to  work,  the 
Almighty  has,  for  many  ycarf,  most  mercifully

by  these  shells,  in  gratitude  for  which  I  make 
it  a  practice  to  return  thanks  to  him  daily,  for 
this  scanty  nieal,  and  to  praise  him  for  his  most

what  you  are  denied  is  all  for  the  best ;  and  a

gations of  Jacob." — Deut  xxxiii :  4.  It  is 
preposterous  to  commence  congregations  with 
burials,  viz  :  with  burying  dead  bodies  under 
ground,  and  money  in  dead  bricks.  The  Rab* 
bis  expressly  teach  that  duties  to  the  living 
have  the  precedence  to  those  of  the  dead — for 
the  dead  nature  has  made  ample  provisions  ; 
it  is  the  living  ;to  whom  wc  are  called  to 
attend.

Contentment. 
"A  contented  mind  hasaeootinnal  feast." 

Prov.  XV.,  16. 

Some  years  ago  there  lived,  in  a  place  called 
Tetnao,  in  Morocco,  Barbary,  a  man  whose 
name  was  Qorqcf  he,  foo  years,  was  not  able 
to  work  or  provide  for  liimself.  Being  very 
bid  and  infilrm,  all  tjuX.be  conld  do  was  toi  get 
a  few  handfnls  of  peas,  Vhich  he  obtained  by 
begging.  He  always  ate  tfaeog  on  the  top  of  a 
high  mountain,  and  when  finishecl  lie  threw  the 
shells  down  the  ravine  before  him,  the  depth  of 
which  was  near  one  hundred  feet.  Growing 
tired  of  his  scanty  meal  for  so  many  years, 
and  seeing  others  passing  daily  from  the 
maVkct  with  poultry,  fish  and  every  luxury, — 
this.made  him  discontented  and  dissatisfied 
with\hiB  lot.  One  day,  when  he  had  finished 
his  m^l  and  thrown  the  shells  away  as  usnal, 
he  said  l<^  himself  :  "  Why  should  1  continue 
to  drag  ou'ljmy  weary  existence  with  nothing 
to  eat  but  a  rajr  peas,  while  others  have  every 
luxury  7"  Thus  meditating,  he  came  to  the 
desperate  resolutidu  of  pntt^'ng  an  end  to  his 
miserable  fife  by  throwing  liimself  down  the 
precipice  <^ver  which  b»  was  standing.  But 
first  he  thought  to  kvficl  down  and  offer  a 
prayer  to  the  Almighty  for  forgiveness  for 
whf4'  he/was  about  to  perpetrate :  when  finished 
he  ttrbee  and  thought  to.  c^t  one  more  look 
b«l0^,  and  to  be  sore  of  hjs  aim. 

On  proceeding  toiheedg^and  looking  down, 
what  should  he  see !  A  man  eating  the  shells 
ho  had  thrown  over,  and  then  lifting  up  his 
hands  and  returning  thanks  to  his  Maker  for 


A  Friendly  Visit  to  the  House  of 
Mourning. 
[Continued  from  p.  102.J 
Whatever  notions  one  who  lives   without 
God   in  the  world   may    form  of  dying,  we 
should  learn  from  his   word  to  regard  the  de- 
parture of  the  just  merely  as  a  translation  ;  a 
change  in  which  nothing  is  lost  which  is  really 
valuable.     For,  as  we  at  our  first  birth,  on 
our  entry  in  this  world,  were  safely,  without 
our  knowledge,  placed   here  by   the  invisible 
hand  of  Providence,  and  found  ample  preparar 
tion  for  our   enjoyment  and    ha{>pine8s,  so 
surely  will  the  same  hand,  at  our  second  birth, 
commonly  called  death,  again  place  us  gafely 
into  a  higher  state  in  a  land  which  His  bounty 
has  provided  for  us. 

But  admitting  the  state  of  your  departed 
friend  to  be  doubtful,  yet,  in  all  cases  that  are 
really  so,  let  us  cultivate  honorable  thoughts 
of  God  ;  let  us  remember  the  Faithful  Crea- 
tor. Righteousness  is  his  throne,  though 
cloods  surround  it.  Whatever  he  has  left  ob- 
scure we  may  safely  leave  him  to  explain. 
Let  us  recollect,  that  amidst  innumerable  ob- 
scurities A«  has  made  all  things  clear  in  pro- 
portion at  they  are  important ;  and  therefore 
repeatedly  urges  it  upon  our  conscience,  that 
the  door  of  duty  is  still  open  to  as,  that  it  is 
awful  to  stand  before  it  unresolved,  that  we 
mast  trust  him  to-day,  and  that  to-morrow  he 
will  equall  y  remove  our  conjectures  and  our 
complaints. 

Perhaps  you  are  ready  to  reply,  "  I  have 
heard  many  such  things,"  and  "  I  also  could 
speak  as  you  do,  if  your  soul  were  in  my  soul's 
stead  ;"  but  my  heart  and  my  expectations  are 
so  crushed  by  this  blow,  that  I  can  hear  nothing 
but,  "  Thy  bruise  is  incurable,  and  thy  wound 
grievous ;  thoo  hast  no  healing  medicines." 
(Jer.  15, 18.) 

Beware,  however,  of  falling  into  their  sin, 
who  "  limited  the  Holy  One  of  Israel."  There 
is  a  charge  continually  brought  against  man, 
that  in  his  troubles,  the  source  and  the  resource 
are  equally  forgotten.  "  Though  affliction 
comcth  from  above,"  yet  "  none  saith.  Where 
is  God  my  Maker,  who  giveth  songs  in  the 
night?"  Endeavor  then,  in  extremities,  to  re- 
collect an  Ali^ruffioient  Friend— a  very 
present  help  in  trouble.  He  at  least  may  add, 
as  he  does  in  the  passage  just  alluded  to,  "  I 
will  restore  health  unto  thee,  and  I  will  heal 
thcc  of  thy  wounds,  saith  the  Lord."— (Jor. 


30, 17.)  Cannot  the  voice  which  rebakfld  a 
tempestuous  sea  calm  our  troubled  spirits? 
Is  his  hand  Aortened,  that  he  cannot  bless  our 
latter  end,  like  Job's,  more  than  the  beginning^ 
Is  it  not  the  Lord  "  that  maketh  poor  and 
maketh  rich,  Uiat  bringeth  low  and  lifteth  up  ?" 
Many,  whose  hearts  have  been  desolate  like 
yours,  while  they  have  looked  "  around,"  have 
at  length  "  looked  upwARn  unto  him,  and  been 
lightened."  A  single  promise  has  afforded 
them  not  only  relief,  but  strong  consolation. 

Letuis,  therefore,  my  dear  friend,  "turn 
again  to  this  stronghold,  as  prisoners  of  hope." 
Let   us  look   to  Abraham's  God,  and  his  en- 
couragement is  ours  :  "  Fear  not ;  I  am  Gon 
Almighty  :"  as  if  he  had  said,  "  I  am  all-suffi- 
cient in  all  cases ;  1  am  enough ;  able  to  do 
exceeding  abundantly  above  all  that  you  ask 
or  think.     1  have  taken  away  the  gourd,  (Jo. 
nah  iv.  10,)  bat  doest  thou  well  to  be  angry? 
Have  I  left  nothing  for  thankfulness  ?    This 
world  cannot  be  your  home,  nor  its  objects 
your  consolation  :  they  are  all  too  poor  for  the 
soul  of  man.    '  Look  uoto  me,  and  be  saved  ' ; 
(Isaiah  xlv.  22 ;)    acquaint  thyself   with  me- 
nd  be  at  peace.    However  dark  and  distress 
ing  the  present  state  of  things  may  appear, 
'  commit   thy  fatherless  children  to  my  care, 
I  will  pwser?*  tbcm  alive;  and  let  thy  widows 
trust  in  me.' " 

Still  the  beloved  object  is  gone,  and  your 
heart  follows  it.  You  can  scarcely  receive 
counsel  of  infinite  Wisdom,  or  comfort  from 
Omnipotence.  To  every  fresh  encovwagement 
i  you  are  ready  to  reply,  "  Wilt  thou  show  won- 
ders to  the  dead  ?  Sh^l  the  dead  arise  and 
praise  thee  ?  Shall  thy  loving-kindness  be  de- 
clared in  the  grave,  or  thy  taithfuTness  in  de- 
struction?" Hie  word  repeatedly  assures  you 
they  shall ;  but  it  informs  you  aUio,  that  he 
can  do  abundantly  more  for  the  living  than 
merely  restore  their  dead  friends,  or  revive 
their  fainting  spirits ;  it  teaches  you  that  he 
can  sanctify  the  separation,  that  he  can  give 
a  divine  life  to  the  survivor ;  that  is,  he  can 
make  your  affliction,  your  loss  a  means  of 
showing  you  how  vain,  how  unreliable  all 
worldly  connections  and  possessions  are  ;  and 
such  thoughts  would  lead  you  to  God  ;  and 
what  is  it  to  lose  a  whole  world  provided  we 
find  our  God,  and  to  be  inseparably  nnitwl  to 
Him  in  love. 

•'  My  poor  perishing  gourd  is,  indeed,  with- 
ered a  day  before  I  expected  it ;  but  God  is 
left,  '  a  father  to  the  fatherless,  a  husband  to 
the  widow  ;'  and  now.  Lord,  what  wait  I  for  ? 
'  Truly  my  hope  is  in  thee.'  '  Though  the  fig. 
tree  shall  not  blossom,  neither  shall  fruit  be  in 
the  vine,  yet  1  will  rejoice  in  the  Lord,  I  will 
joy  in  the  Goo  of  my  salnatios.'  " 

Once  more  ;  let  us  endeavor,  at  such  seasons 
as  these,  to  recogniiie  a  gracious  Monitor. 
Whenever  the  Lord  strikes,  he  speaks.  Let 
us  listen,  at  such  a  time  as  this,  with  humble 
attention,  yet  with  holy  confidence,  for  it  is 
the  voice  of  a  Friend,  a  wonderful  Counsellor. 
Let  us,  with  the  prophet,  resolve  to  ascend  the 
tower  of  observation,  and  observe  "  what  be 
will  say  unto  us,  and  what  we  shall  answer 
when  we  arc  reproved."  If,  with  him,  we 
thus  watch  our  dispensation,  *'  at  the  end,' 
like  his,  "  it  shall  speak."

Answer  me,  burning  stars  of  night  1 

Where  hath  our  spirit  gone, 
That  past  the  reach  of  human  sight, 

E'en  as  a  breeze,  hath  flown  ? 
A-nd  the  stars  answere'd  me,— "We  roll 

In  light,  and  power  on  high  ; 
But,  of  the  never-dying  soul, 

Ask  things  that  cannot  die." 

O  many-toned,  and  chaiuless  wind ! 

Tnou  art  a  wanderer  free, 
Tell  me  if  thou  its  place  cans*  find, 

Far  over  mount,  and  sea '! 
And  the  wind  murmur'd  in  reply, 

"The  blue  deep  I  have  cross'd, 
And  met  its  barks,  and  billows  high, 

But  not  what  thou  hast  lost !  " 

Ye  clouds,  that  gorgeously  repose 

Around  the  setting  sun. 
Answer  !  have  ye  a  home  for  those 

Whose  earthly  race  is  run  ?

Varieties, 
Oeioihalitt.— Literature  has  her  quacks 
no  less  than  medicine,  and  they  are  divided 
into  two  classes  ;  those  who  have  erudition 
without  genius,  and  those  who  have  volubility 
without  depth  :  you  will  get  second-hand 
sense  from  one,  and  original  nonsense  from  the 
other. 

Many  who  find  the  day  too  long,  think  life 
too  short ;  but  ?tort  as  life  is,  some  find  it 
long  enough  to  outlive  their  characters,  their 
cODstitatious,  and  their  estates. 

It  is  an  easy  and^  vulgar  thing  to  please  the 
mob,  and  not  a  very  arduous  task  to  astonish 
them ;  but  essentially  to  benefit  and  to  improve 
them,  is  a  work  fraught  with  difficulty,  and 
teeming  with  danger. 

Power.— it  is  a  mistake,  that  the  lust  for 
power  is  the  mark  of  a  great  mind  ;  for  even 
the  weakest  have  been   captivated  by  it ;  and 
-for  minds  of  the  highest  order,  it  has  no  charm. 
They  seek  a  udble  empire  within   their  own 
breast ;    Cincinnatus:  and   Washington  were 
greater  in  their  retirement,  than   Csesar  and 
Napoleon  at  the  summit  of  their   ambition  ;  I 
since  it  requires  less  magnanimity  to  win  the 
conqueet,  than  to  refuse  the  spoil.     Ijord  Ba- 
con lias  compared  those  who  move  in  the  high- 
er spheres,  to   those  heavenly  bodies  in   the 
firmament,  which  have  much  admiration,  but 
little  i«8t.    And  it  is  not  necessary  to  invest 
fith  power,  to  convince  him  that 
iV  bedizened  with  gold,  which 
ehold^  by  its  splendor,  but  op- 
t...,^^   ..._  wealthy  its  weight.    Besides, 
those  who  aspire  to  gpvern  others,  rather  than 
themselves,  must  descetfd  to  meanness  which 
^^heKtrnlwioble  cannot  brook,  nor  will  stoop 
^* to )tis8ft^|Jh.  although  it  were  like  Brutus

Turin,  died  of  apoplexy  on  Sunday,  IStli  Jan 
uary,  after  an  illness  of  ten  days.  He  is  a 
great  loss,  notonly  to  Italy,  but  to  all  Judaism. 
M.  Cnatoni,  formerly  a  student  of  the  Rabbin- 
ical institute,  was  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
of  the  Italian  Rabbins,  as  well  by  his  profound 
knowledge  as  by  his  pastoral  zeal,  which  was 
both  liberal  and  orthodox  at  the  same  time. 
He  has  done  much  to  ameliorate  the  political 
position  of  his  co-religionists.  M.  Cnatoni 
made  a  public  declaration  in  favor  of  the  con- 
vocation of  a  general  synod  for  the  consolida- 
tion of  the  new  position  of  Israelites  in  modern 
times.  The  legal  reform  of  Judaism  loses  in 
him  one  of  its  most  determined  advocates. 
Three  orators  pronounced  over  his  grave  his 
funeral  eulogium.  M.  J.  Levy  de  Verceil,  editoi; 
of  the  Educatore  Isratlita,  moved  to  tears  all 
who  assisted  at  the  funeral.  The  ceremony 
was  worthj  of  M .  Cuatoni's  fame,  and  several 
members  of  the  Chambers  of  Deputies  were 
present 

Thb  East— Jkrusalem,— a  correspondent 
writing  to  us  from  the  Holy  City,  under  date 
^  the  12  th  Theboth,  states  that  when  the  fu- 
neral of  Mr.  Nicelson,  the  Protestant  Mission- 
ary-in-Chief,  took  place,  Mr.  James  Finn,  the 
English  Consul,  requested  the  rabbins  to  join 
in  the  procession  in  honor  of  the  deceased  ; 
and  that  to  that  invitation  was  joined  one 
from  the  Pacha  of  the  city,  couched  in  such 
pressing  terms  that  they  could  not  refuse  with- 
out infringing  all  rules  of  politeness,  notwith- 
standing the  religious  hostility  of  the  illustri- 
ous deceased. 

Another  correspondent  writes  us  from  the 
same  city,  that  an  inspecting  committee,  com- 
posed of  the  most  respectable  and  most  learned 
men,  has  been  formed  to  watch  over  the  obser- 
vance of  the  religious  commandments,  and 
among  other  things,  to  prevent  the  youth  from 
frequenting  the  missionary  school.  The  great 
majority  of  the  inhabitants  have  hearkened  to 
their  exhortations,  with  the  exception  of  two 
persons,  Abraham  Saracoete  and  Joseph  Me- 
jocbaa,  who,  having  refused  to  take  their  chil- 
dren trom  that  school,  have  incurred  the  disci- 
plinary penalty  of  the  Cher  em. 

There  died,  some  time  ago,  at  Jerusalem, 
Mr.  Paris,  whose  loss  will  be  much  felt,  as  he 
was  a  good  and  pious  man.  Mr.  Paris  was 
the  only  Jew  who  possessed  a  piece  of  ground 
in  Jerusalem,  and  that  will,  it  is  feared,  now 
fall  into  the  hands  of  the  Roman  Catholics. 

Berlin.— In  the  electro-magnetic  institution 
establishment  in  Berlin,  by  the  Jewish  physi- 
cian, Dr.  Bamberger,  a  son  of  a  gentleman  of 
the  city  of  Loetzen,  who  was  deaf  and  dumb, 
bas  been  entirely  cured.  After  a  treatment  of 
six  month^i,  be  was  able  to  hear,  and  began  to 
speak  distinctly.  The  case  has  called  forth 
the  warmest  sympathy  for  our  capable  co- 
religionist. 

RoMB.— The  Roman  Jews.— We  gather 
from  the  "  Educatore  Israelita,"  a  few  partic- 
ulars concerning  the  Jews  of  Rome.  The 
Jews,  who  in  former  times  mustered  there  in 
strong  numbers,  do  not  exceed  now,  4,000 
souls,  and  many  of  these  subsist  solely  on  the 
bread  of  charity.  No  congregation  is  so  rich 
in  benevolent  institutions,  supported  by  the 
more  affluent,  as  ours  of  Rome.  About  110 
individuals  only  are  able  to  pay  the  special 
tax  imposed  on  Jewish  industry  and  capital. 
This  reduction  of  the  number  is  a  consequence 
of  reverses  in  fortune,  and  of  the  constant  em- 
igration of  the  wealthier  familits. 


ViKNKA.— The  Jewish  congregation  of  Vi- 
enna numbered,  before  1848  not  more  than 
3000  souls,  but  has  since  increased  to  30,000. 
The  government  has  in  uo  way  impeded  the 
wttting  trf  ^  Jews,  coiing  from  all  qaartsrs 
of  the  empire,  in  Vienna,  and  the  municipal 
authorities  have  asked  of  the  new  settlers  no 
higher  taxes  than  paid  by  their  ChrisUan  fellow 
citizens. 

Bohemia  —The  Jewish  population  of  this 
kingdom  IT  superintended  by  twelve  chief 
Babbis  and  forty  nine  local  Rabbis. 

'Wasiiinc;  Kid  Gloves.— Have  ready  a  liitle 
lew  milk  in  one  saucer,  and  a  piece  of  brown 
%oap  in  another,  and  a  clean  cloth  or  towel, 
folded  three  or  four  times.    On  the  cloth, 
spread  out  the  glove  smooth  and  neat.    Take 
a  piece  of  flannel,  dip  it  in  the  milk,  then  rub 
off  a  good  quantity  of  soap  to  the  wetted  flan- 
nel, and  commence  to  rub  the  glove  downwards 
towards  the  fingers,  holding  it  firmly  with  the 
left  hand.     Continue  this  process  until  the 
glove,  if  white,  looks  of  a  dingy  yellow,  though 
clean  :  if  colored,  till  it  looks  dark  and  spoiled. 
Lay  it  to  dry,  and  the  operator  will  soon   be 
gratified  to  see  that  the  old  gloves  look  nearly 
new.    They  will  be  soft,  glossy,  smooth,  shapely 
and  elastic.  Dark,  and  especially  black  mourn- 
ing gloves,  should  be  of  the  very  best  and  high- 
priced. 


SPECIAL  NOTICES^ 


To  Peomote  Sleep.- No  fire,  candle,  rush- 
light, or  lamp,  should  be  kept  burning,  during 
the  night,  in  a  bed-room ;  for  it  not  only  viti- 
ates the  air,  but  disturbs  the  nerves.  Keep 
the  bed  chamber  well  ventilated— this  greatly 

promotes  healthful  rest.

Feverish  symptoms  in  young  children  may 
be  reduced,  and  often  entirely  cured  by  spong- 
ing in  tepid  or  cold  water,  according  to  the 
age  and  condition  of  the  patient.  Rest,  in  a 
clean  bed,  after  sponging,  is  necessary.  Should 
the  fever  continue,  a  gentle  emetic  may  be 
given.  Cold  wat^r  is  the  best  beverage  in 
fevers,  but  if  very  thirsty,  give  the  child  a  little 
warm  tea.  ^

THE     WEEKLY    OLEANER 


l^nm  Hoyjehold  Wordt.]    

The  Jews  in  QJiina. 

[Contianed  from  p.  106.] 
FktliM'   OoMDi  hu  spoken    of  the  inunda- 
tioD,  bat  we  hare  not,  and  so  we   will  do  so 
now.     Preriously,   however,  we  may  call  at^ 
tention  to  the  distinct  adoption  of  the  Oliiuese 
"  Hall  of  Ancestors"  among   these  Jews,  and 
of  a  place  for  showing  hospitality  to  strangers 
as  an   appendage   to  their   place  of   worship. 
It  is  in  this  way  that,  withoat  violating  their 
own  opinions,  they   became   assimilated  mora 
completely  to  their  neighbors.     Father  Gozani 
also  notes  that  their  aocounts  of  sacred  history 
were  grossly  disfigured  with   Talmudioal  le- 
gends, or    other  stories  of  that  class — a  fact 
not  to  be  lost  sight  of  by  the  speculator.    The 
Jews,  in  the  time  of  Father  Gozani,  composed 
seven  families— Phao,  Kin,   Che,   Eao,  The- 
Man,   Li,    Ngai — including  in  all   about  one 
thousaad  aouls.    They  intermarried  with  each 
other,  and  had   their  own  fashion  of  hair-out 
ting.    These  seven   families  of  Kai-fouDg^fou 
were  the  remains  of  seventy   who    had  of  old 
established    themselves  in   that  capital.     Now 
for  the  inundation.    That  event  took  place  in 
the  year    1C42,  and   it  occurred  as  follows: — 
Liooong-tse,  a  rebel,  with  a  big  army,  bei»iog*d 
the   city.     The   inhabitants,    after   defending 
themselves   for  six  months,    still    refused   to 
sucoumb,  beoaase  they   expected  rescue  from 
the  Emperor.    The  Emperor  did  come,   who 
strangely  determined  to  destroy  the  enemy  by 
a  great  master  strok,     "  I'll  drown  every  manf' 
he  said,  and  thus  he  broke  the  dikes  that  eon- 
fined  the  Hoang-Ho,  or  Yellow  River,  a  lei^ue 
distant  from  tb<i^ity.     Out  poured  the  stream 
and  drowned  the  besiegers,  and  besieged  the 
city  in  its  turn,    knocked   down  its  wdiis,  and 
destroyed   thirty   thousand  of  its  inmates.     It 
was  in  this  inundation  that  the  number  of  the 
Jews   waa    thinned  ;  diluted  by  the   waters  of 
the  river,  their  Pentateuoh  was  damaged  and 
some  other  portions  of  their  scripture  altog^> 
er  lost. 

Before  passing  down  from  Father  Gozani  we 
tnost  extract  his  rough  picture  of  tbie  Jeyriah 
synagogue,  as  it  existed  in  his  day.  He  Mya 
of  the  Jews — 

"They  have  no  other  synagogue  bat  this,  in 
the  capital  of  the  province  of  Ho-Nan.  I 
peroeived  in  it  no  altar,  nor  any  other  furni- 
ture, but  the  chair  of  Moses,  with  a  eenser,  a 
long  table,  and  large  chandeliers,  in  Which 
were  placed  candles  made  of  tallow.  This 
synagogue  has  some  resemblance  to  our  £a« 
ropean  churches;  it  ia  divided  into  three 
aisles;  that  in  the  middle  is  occupied  by  the 
table  of  incense,  the  chair  of  Moses,  the  paint> 
ing,  and  the  tabernacles  already  mentioned, 
in  which  are  preserved  the  thirteen  e«pies  of 
the  Pentateuch.  These  tabernacles  are  cont 
struotod  in  the  form  of  an  arch,  and  the  mids 
die  aisle  is  like  the  choir  of  tba  synagogue ; 
the  two  others  are  set  apart  as  places  of  prayer, 
and  f(>r  the  adoration  of  the  Supreme  Bsing. 
Within  the  building  (here  is  a,  passage  which 
runs  quit*  round.  "J^'d  </  (^  -  >^  /<" 
"  ~"As  there 'iSirmerly  were,  and  still  are, 
among  them  Bachelors  and  Kien-unt,  which 
is  a  degree  different  from  that  of  a  Bachelor,  I 
took  the  liberty' of  asking  them  if  they  ren- 
dered homage  to  Confucius ;  they  replied  thst 
they  honored  him  in  the  same  manner  as  the 
rest  of  the  literati,  and  that  they  assisted  them 
in  solemn  ceremonies,  which  are  performed  in 
halls  dedicated  to  their  great  men.  They  add- 
ed, that  in  spring  and  autumn  they  practised 
certain  rites  In  honor  of  their  ancestors,  ac- 
cording to  the  manner  of  Chinese,  in  the  hall 
next  to  the  synagogue;  that  they  did  not 
present  (hem  (he  flesh  of  hogs,  but  of  other 
animals ;  (hat  in  other  ceremonies  they  were 
contented  with  offering  (hem  poroelain  dishes 
filled  with  dainties  and  sweetmeats,  whieh 
they  MOOoapMied  with  perfnmes  and  profound 


revereneea  or  prostrations.  T  asked  tUas, 
^likewise,  if  in  their  houses  or  Hall  of  Anoesijra, 
they  had  tablets  in  honor  of  their  depai^ed 
relations;  they  replied  that  they  used  neiber 
tablets,  images,  nor  anything  else,  but  onk  a 
few  censers.  We  must,  however,  except  tlpir 
mandarins,  for  whom  alone  they  place  in  pe 
Hall  of  Ancestors  a  tablet  inscribed  with 
name  and  rank." 

Father  Oosani  adds,  that  "these  Jewfin 
their  inscriptions,  call  their  law  the  Law  of 
Israel,  Vielah-Kiao,  which  they  nam?  also 
Kon-Kiao,  Ancient  Law  ;  Txen-Kiao,  Ltw  of 
God.  and  'JRewKin^Kiao,  to  signify  that  hey 
abstain  from  blood,  and  cut  the  ncrves»nd 
veins  of  the  animals  they  kill,  in  order  bat 
the  blood  may  flow  more  easily  from  thorn." 

This  custom  gives  to  the  Jews  in  China,  t( 
the  present  day,  the  name  of  Out-Nerves.  To 
the  present  day  our  story  now  descends.;  for  ' 
after  the  time  of  Father  Gozani,  blank  follows  ' 
ia  the  way  of  action.  Father  Etienne,  N»ho 
meditated  a  work  upon  the  Sacred  Scriptures 
in  reply  to  the  CTxtiei  Saeri,  was  eager  to 
push  on  investigations.  From  t-lie  letters  of 
Father  Gozani,  and  from  those  which  Father 
Domingo  and  Gambil  wrote  upon  it,  material 
was  obtained  for  the  memoir  published  under 
the  direction  of  M.  L.  Aims  Martin,  in  which 
he  remarks  that  the  detail  would  be  regarded 
with  the  more  curiosity,  as  it  had  been  otf^n 
demanded,  and  as  Father  du  Halde  had  oon- 
tented  himself  with  merely  promising  it  in  his 
great  work,  "Description  de  la  Chine."  So 
we  have  fairly  got  out  of  the  past  into  the 
present,  where  our  story  thus  runs  on.'  ^ 

In  the  year  1816,  the  Chinese  Jews  eddea* 
vored  unsuccessfully  to  communicate  with  Eu-< 
rope  by  means  of  a  Hebrew  letter  addressed 
to  London,  which  seems  not  to  have  been  de- 
livered. Last  year  the  Jewish  Society  of  Lon- 
don determined,  however,  to  communicate  with 
them.  Miss  Cooke,  an  energetic  and  devoted 
Jewess,  placed  her  parse  in  the  hands  tef  the 
Society  ;  nothing  impeded  fresh  resenich  ;  the 
English  bishop  at  Hong  Kong  conoperHted,  Dr. 
Medhurst  the  well  known  missionnry  there 
was  consulted,  and  two  Chinese  Cbristiatis 
were  at  length  appointed  to  proceed  to  Kai<i 
fouog-fou.  The  elder  of  these  two  was  a  bach- 
elor ;  the  younger  was  a  student  from  the 
Missionaries'  College  at  Bavaria  ;  but  the  junior 
was  named  to  head  the  enterprise,  because  he 
had  previously  displayed  zeal  and  ability, 
and  also  because  he  could  write  English  fluent- 
ly,  and  would  journalize  in  that  language: 
Hip  journals,  therefore,  could  be  laid  before 
Miss  Cooks,  uninjured  by  translation. 

Our  heroes — for  so  we  witt^M^ll  the  two  ad"« 
venturers — set  out  fiom  Shanghae  on  the  16th 
of  last  November,  by  boat  (e  Toing-kiangston, 
In  a  car,  drawn  by  mules,  they  were  then 
jolted  along,  following  the  (rack  of  the  Hoangs 
ho,  rising  at  three  o'clock  on  winter  mornings, 
to  save  time— a  proceeding  whieh  involvse 
almost  supererogatory  self-denial.  Population 
near  the  iTellow  River  they  found  rare  and 
unhealthy.  Localities  which  figure  in  (he 
geographical  charts  of  the  empire  as  principal 
placea,  or  as  towns  of  the  second  class,  are 
but  huge  piles  of  rubbish,  surrounded  by 
crumbling  walla.  Here  and  there  a  gate,  with 
its  inscription  hrvlf-effaced,  informs  the  travels 
er  that  he  is  entering  a  mighty  town. 

Perseverance,  and  a  male  oar,  brought  the 
travellers  to  Kai  foung-fou.  They  found  there 
many  Mahometans,  openly  exercising  right  of 
conscience,  and  flying  their  religion  on  a  flag 
displayed  over  their  gate.  These  Mahometans 
are,  for  the  most  part,  hotel-keepers,  and  with 
one  of  them  our  heroes  lodged.  Of  him  (hey 
began  asking  about  Gut-Nerves.  Mine  host 
of  the  Cresoent  said  there  were  still  some  Jews 
in  Kaitfoung-foa,  and  offered  himself  as  a 
cicerone  to  their  synagogue.  Thither  they 
went    They  found  its  outer  wall  in  rains; 


briers  and  dir(  filled  (he  grand  en(ranoe; 
"the  pittafi  of  The  building,  the  jnseribei-  - 
marble^  the  stone  balustrade,  before  the  peri- 
style of  the  temple,  the  ornamental  sculpture 
— all  were  cracked,  broken,  and  overturned." 
Under  the  wings  of  the  synagogue,  the  chapels 
built  in  honor  of  the  patriarchs— nestled,  to 
gether,  cold  and  naked,  sleepiug  on  the  bare 
stones,  those  objects  of  our  European  interest, 
"the  Jews  in  China."  Poor  and  miserable  as 
they  are,  ihey  had  begun  to  sell  the  stents  of 
their  teipple  for  bread,  and  a  portion  of  land 
within  their  sacred  iuclosure  had  been  al- 
ready sold  to  an  adjacent  temple  of  the  Budd- 
hists. 

Still,  there  were  the  cylinders  inclosing  the 
sacred  rolls  of  the  Old  Testament,  which, 
luckily,  had  not  proved  eatable.  In  number, 
these  rolls  were  about  a  dozen,  each  thirty 
feet  long  by  three  feet  wide.  They  are  of 
white  sheep-skin,  inscribed  with  very  small 
Hebrew  characters. 

For  fifty  years  these  poor  Jews  have  been 
without  the  guidance  of  a  rabbi,  and  there  is 
not  one  left  who  can  read  a  word  of  Hebrew. 
The  travellers  gave  money  to  the  mournful 
congregation  in  the  synagogue,  and  received 
leave  to  copy  the  inscriptions,  about  which 
the  Jeauite  had  previously  informed  us. 
Jl^oreover,  they  obtained,  and  have  brought 
home,!  eight  Hebrew  manuscripts;  six  con- 
tain portions  of  the  Old  Testament,  namely, 
of  Exodus,  chapters  1—6,  and  88—40;  of 
Leviticus,  chapters  19,  20;  of  Numbers,  chap- 
(ers  18,  14,  15 ;  of  Deateronomy,  chapters 
11 — 16,  and  chapter  32;  with  portions  of  the 
Pentateuch,  the  Psalms,  and  Prophets.  The 
other  two  manuscripts  are  of  the  Jewish  Litur- 
gy. The  leaves  of  these  manuscripts  "  stre  of 
a  species  of  card-board,  on  whic^  the  words, 
as  it  were,  are  engraved  with  a  point;  the 
binding  is  in  silk,  and  bears  ovideut  marks  of 
being  of  foreign  origin.  Two  Israelitish  mer- 
chants, to  whom  these  books  were  shown  at 
Shang'hae,  spoke  of  having  seen  similar  ones 
at  Akeu,  and  the  presence  here  and  there 
upon  the  margins  of  Persian  words,  inter 
spersed  with  Hebrew  annotations,  seemed  to 
indicate  that  the  books  came  originally  from 
sonde  western  country  of  Asia,  perhaps  Per- 
sia, Or  some  of  the  high  provinces  of  India, 
where  Parsic  has  from  time  immemorial  been 
the  language  used  among  people  of  education. 
Although  the  annotations  mentioned  are  nu- 
merous, and  apparently  referring  to  different 
epochs,  no  trace  of  any  Chineae  character  is 
to  be  discovered,  nor  any  of  those  marks  or 
signs  which  immediately  betray  Chinese  origin. 
No  date  exists  by  which  the  age  can  be  de- 
termined." 

We  hope  the  statement  is  correct  which 
tells  ns  that  these  manuscripts  are  to  be  de- 
posited in  the  British  Museum.  Facsimiles 
are  at  the  same  time  printed  in  Hebrew,  ac- 
companied with  a  plan  of  the  synagogue,  made 
on  the  spot  by  the  Chinese  travellers,  and  the 
journal  of  our  junior  hero,  written  in  English 
and  Chinese.  The  journal  in  English  would 
not  be  a  very  ponderous  affair,  the  entire  ex- 
pedition having  occnpled  only  (wo  mon(hs — 
the  residence  at  Kai-foung-fou,  five  days. 


DOMESTIC  ECONOMY. 


Nitre  is  a  cheap  and  valnable  medicine 
both  cooling  and  parifying  to  the  blood.  Id 
the  feverishness  that  attends  a  cold,  from  seven 
to  ten  grains  of  purified  nitre,  in  a  glass  of 
water,  may  be  taken  two  or  three  times  a  day, 
with  safety  and  advantage.  For  old  wounds, 
such  as  are  commonly  called  "  a  bad  leg,"  great 
benefit  will  be  derived  from  taking  a  solution 
of  nitre,  prepared  thus :  In  one  point  of  boiling 
water,  dissolve  two  ounces  of  saltpetre ;  of 
which  take  a  table-spoonfal  twice  a  day.  If  it 
should  occasion  pain,  a  little  hot  ginger  tea  will 
soon  give  relief. 


East  and  almost  Inbtantaneoub  Curb  for 
THii  Fever  and  Aouk.— An  hour  or  two  before 
the  fit  comes  on,  take  a  new  laid  egg,  in  a  glass 
of  vinegar  or  brandy,  and  go  to  bed  immedi^ 
ately.  This  very  simple  recipe  has  cured  a 
great  many,  after  more  celebrated  preparations 
have  proved  uosticcessful. 

How  TO  OET  Bleep.— How  to  get  sleep  is 
to  many  persons  a  matter  of  high  importance. 
Nervous  persons  who  are  troubled  with  wake- 
fulness and  excitability,  usually  have  a  strong 
tendency  of  blood  on  the  braiu,  with  co'd  ex- 
tremities. The  pressure  of  the  blood  on  the 
brain  keeps  it  in  a  stimulated  or  wakeful  state, 
and  the  pulsations  in  the  head  are  often  painful. 
Let  such  rise  and  chafe  the  body  and  extremi- 
ties with  a  brash  or  towel,  or  rub  emartly  with 
the  hands  to  promote  circulation  and  withdraw 
the  excessive  amount  of  blood  from  the  brain, 
and  you  will  sleep  in  a  few  moments.  A  cold 
bath,  or  a  sponge  bath  and  rubbing,  or  a  good 
run,  or  a  rapid  walk  in  the  open  air,  or  going 
up  or  down  stairs  a  few  times,  just  before 
retiring,  will  aid  in  equalizing  circulation,  and 
promoting  sleep.  These  rules  are  simple  and 
easy  of  application  in  castle  or  cabin,  and  min- 
ister to  the  comfort  of  thousands  who  would 
freely  expend  money  for  an  anodyne  to  promote 
"  Nature's  sweet  restorer,  balmy  sleep." 

To  Pbevent  Sea-sickness. — Pass  a  broad 
belt  round  the  body,  and  place  within  it, on  the 
region  of  the  stomach,  a  pad  stuffed  with  wool 
or  horse-hair ;  this,  when  tightly  braced,  re" 
strains  the  involuntary  motion  of  thestomach, 
occasioned  by  the  lurching  of  the  vessel.  Dur- 
ing  sickness,  very  weak  cold  brandy  atid  water 
will  be  fouDd  the  best  means  of  allaying  the 
heat  and  irritation.  The  frequent  use  of  any 
sea  sickness  preventive  is,  however,  attended 
with  danger  ;  therefore  avoid  it  on  long  jour- 
neys. 

To  Wash  White  Lace.— A  qnarter  of  a 
cake  of  white  wax,  six  lumps  of  sugar,  and  a 
dessert-spoonful  of  made  starch,  to  be  mixed 
with  a  quart  of  soft  water.  Tack  the  lace 
very  slightly  in  a  thin  cloth  dipped  in  cold 
water,  then  let  it  lie  in  a  strong  lather  for  one 
day.  Change  the  water,  and  leave  it  in  a 
second  lather  all  night.  Put  the  above  mate- 
rials into  a  saucepan,  boil  the  lace  in  it  for  ten 
minutes,  then  throw  it**  into  cold  water,  and 
when  nearly  dry  iron  it 

How  TO  Wash  Printed  DREfsra— A  very 
cool  lather  of  white  soap,  of  the  best  quality, 
shoald  be  used,  as  the  inferior  soaps  contain 
rosin,  and  other  pernicious  iugredi'  n(s  roost 
destructive  to  colors.  Soda,  pearl-ash,  vinegar^ 
alum,  salt,  washing-powder,  &c.,  although  they 
may  not  injure  some  colors,  should  never  be 
used ;  for  they  will  most  certainly  destroy 
others.  Printed  dresses  should  not  be  washed 
with  household  or  body  linen,  or  put  into 
scalding  water.  It  is  desirable  to  wash  colors 
with  a  light  hand,  80  as  not  to  subject  them  to 
hard  rubbing,  and  to  rinse  with  plenty  of  clean 
cold  water,  and  to  dry  in  the  open  air.  Claret, 
chocolate,  purple,  lilac,  red,  pink  and  black' 
are  the  most  permanent ;  the  cloth*  for  these 
colors  being  prepared  in  a  D^uUar.  manner, 
and  which  process  has  the  eflfe^WB^wr  fixiog 
them  to  it.  Blue,  green,  d^BjPWfrcrimson, 
buff,  dahlia,  orange,  ^  ciDmHion,  as  they  do 
not  admit  of  the  cltfth  being  so  prepared,  of 
course,  require  more  careful  treatment,  or^ome 
of  the  surface  color  may,  possibly  on  the  first 
washing,  scale  off  and  tiogg.  j^^Fhite,  especi-^ 
ally  if  not  well  riDse^HHPIra  little  discre-

THE     WEEKLY     OLEANEH. 


JUVENILE. 


Pride  of  Dress. 
"Should  I  not  be  smflrt  in  auch  gny  garments 

dreaa'd  f 
And  then  to  be  noticed,  admired,    and  carcss'd, 
O,   that  would  be   plewant ;  how    often  I've 

heard 
That  feathera,  when  fine,  will  make  a  fine  bird!" 
Stop,  stop,  mj  young  friend,    when    folks  are 

80  fine, 
And  far  beyond  all  their  neighbors  to  ahine, 
The  wise   will  conclude,    amidst   every   pre- 
tence, 
That  such  people  are  sadly   wanting  in  sense. 
Plain  clothes   may  a   person  of  great   worth 

adorn. 
And yrn;  clothes  onother,  deserving  of  scorn. 

Now  for  a  story.  When  I  was  in 
Switzerland,  j  observed  a  singular  prac- 
tice. A  beautiful  race  of  cows  is  reared 
among  the  mountains  of  that  interesting 
country,  and  the  most  trusty  of  them  are 
adorned  with  bells.  This  is  done  that 
the  sound  may  keep  the  herd  together, 
and  direct  the  herdsman  to  the  place 
where  they  are  pasturing.  The  owner  of 
these  cows  has  much  pleasure  in  them. 
Ho  has  various  sets  of  bells,  and  on  cer- 
tain occasions  the  favorite  cow  has  the 
finest  and  largest  bell,  and  also  the  gay- 
est trappings.  Others  have  smaller  bells, 
and  collars  ornamented,  unless  they  reach 
the  point  at  which  no  distinction  is  made. 
Strange  as  it  may  seem,  to  deprive  the 
cows  of  their  usual  decorations  is  severely 
to  punish  them.  They  feel  it  grievously, 
and  in  this  state  utter  piteous  lowings. 

On  certain  days  a  kind  of  procession 
takes  place.  The  herdsman  leads  the 
van,  and  next  iu  order  comes  the  favorite 
cow,  leading  the  herd,  ornamented'  with 
her  tiukiiug  bells  and  gay  apparel.  Should 
another,  f^om  any  cause,  be  made  to  take 
her  place,  she  shows  her  vexation  by 
continual  lowings^  jefuses  food,  and  at- 
tacks the  one  tha),  bears  her  honors. 

One  cow  that  had  long  been  thus  hon- 
oured, was,  on  one  occasion,  thought  too 
weak  to  take  her  usual  place,  and  even 
the  common  bell  was  thought  too  heavy 
for  her.  The  procession  moved  on,  but 
she  did  not  share  in  the  general  joy. 
After  a  few  8te])8  she  faltered  in  her  pace  ; 
the  attendents  tried  to  coax  her  on,  but 
in  yain  ;  she  stopped,  and  laid  down,  as 
if  to  die.  An  old  herdsman  soon  guessed 
the  cause.  He  brought  from  the  house  a 
bell  and  collar,  such  as  the  cow  had  often 
been  used  to  bear  ;  and  no  sooner  did  she 
feel  them  on  her  neck,  than  she  rose  from 
the  ground,  bounded  gayly,  took  her  place 
in  the  ran,  and  was  at  once  quite  well. 

What  the  exact  feeling  of  this  animal 
was  it  ig  difficult  to  determine.    If  it  was 


a  love  of  finery,  it  was  one  constaiily 
discoverable  among  those  gifted  with  rta- 
Bon,  but  always  showing  that  roa»)^B 
not  allowed  to  act  as  it  ought.  Look,  \a 
instance,  at  the  noble  figures,  whose  dt^k 
skins  prove  that  they  belong  to  an  A^i- 
can  tribe,  as  they  roam  iu  their  native 
wilds.  Tluit  young  chief  is  begrimed  fr(|n 
head  to  foot  with  red  paint,  and  his  wle 
has  her  hair  all  matted  together  wijli 
grease,  while  around  her  neck  is  a  ucci- 
lace  formed  of  the  entrails  of  aninctli  ; 
and  yet  as  they  are  in  their  best  ature, 
they  think  they  are  very  fine. 

But  we  may  turn  to  others  nearer  hone. 
IjOok,  again,  at  that  May-day  procession. 
See  those  human  beings,  threc-fourtls 
dirty  and  one-fourth  clean,  adorned  with 
various  colors,  all  bedizened  with  gilt 
and  tinsel,  dancing  about  the  green,  which 
is  borne  wherever  they  go  :  they  also 
think  they  are  very  fine. 

And  often  we  may  observe  others, 
whose  gaudy  hues  and  ill-assorted  clothes 
show  that  same  feeling  is  at  work.  It 
may  be,  that  flo  ghmtjg  is  tbetr  atitro, 
that  the  passers-by  cannot  fail  to  notice 
them,  while  each  one  says  to  himself  as 
he  turns  away,  "They  think  they  are  very 
fine." 

And  they  only  think  so  ;  all  who  judge 
wisely  hold  a  very  different  opinion.  Nor 
is  this  all ;  the  lovers  of  finery  are  often 
in  danger  of  great  evils.  It  has  frequently 
appeared  that  the  young  have  committed 
theft  to  gratify  their  passion  for  fine  clothes; 
and  from  the  same  feeling,  crimes  have 
been  perpetrated  which  have  been  punish- 
ed with  deatn.  And  when  these  evils  do 
not  arise,  others  may.  "Buy  what  you 
do  not  want,"  says  the  proverb,  "  and 
you  will  soon  have  to  sell  what  you  can- 
not spare."  When  one  young  person 
complained  to  another  that  her  money 
went  too  fast,  while  her  friend,  receiving 
less  money,  always  had  more,  the  latter 
replied,  "  I  make  it  a  rule  never  to  spend 
anything  in  '  'tis  buts.'  "  On  the  meaning 
of  this  phrase  being  asked,  the  reply  was, 
"  I  constantly  hear  people  say,  'I  should 
like  this  and  that, '  'tis  but  threepence,'  or 
'  'tis  but  fourpence,'  or  '  'tis  but  sixpence,' 
and  thus  the  money  oozes  away  in  drops. 
Never  spend  your  money  in  '  'tis  buts '  1" 

Wise  and  kind  parents  will  dress  their 
children  not  finely,  but  well.  They  will 
give  them  light  clothes  in  summer,  and 
nice  thick  warm  ones  in  winter.  The 
attire  of  children,  too,  will  be  according 
to  their  station  in  life.  They  will  be 
taught  that  finery  is  not  comfort  or  re- 
spectability ;  it  is  often  the  contrary  of 
both  ;  and  that  clothes  of  good  materials, 
and  simple  in  their  shape,  are  always  be- 
coming. When  the  celebrated  Dr.  Frank- 
lin was  in  France,  his  daughter,  who  was 
in  America,  wrote  to  him  for  feathers  and 
lace  ;  he  replied,  that  "if  she  wore  her 
rufifles  as  long  as  he  wore  his,  she  wofeld 
have  lace,  and  that  she  might  obtain 
feathers  from  any  fine  bird  on  which  she 
could  lay  her  bands."  I  should  be  sur- 
prised if  she  ever  asked  for  them  again. 


Think,  then,  my  young  friends,  rightly 
of  dress  ;  whence  indeed  are  the  co»tliest 
garments  obtained  ?  From  the  plumage 
of  birds,  the  skins  of  animals,  the  products 
of  insects  ;  even  du^t  and  pebbles  contri- 
bute to  adorn  them.  How  absurd  is 
pride  in  dress  ! 

Think,  too,  that  no  clothes,  however 
fine,  can  improve  the  mind  or  heait  of  the 
wearer.  Put  a  purple  robe  on  an  igno- 
rant youth,  place  a  diamond  necklace  on 
an  ill-tempered  girl,  and  they  will  remain 
Just  wh{|J^they  were. 

Think,  also,  of  the  solemn  fact  of  which 
all  dress  is  a  memorial  :   but   for  sin,  it 
would  never  have  covered  the  limbs,  or 
occupied  for  a  moment  the   attention  of 
the  mind  ;  Adam   and   Eve,  before  they 
had  sinned  were  like   babies,  so  good  and 
so  innocent  that  they  did  not  feel  the 
want  of  clothing.     But  after  they  had 
sinned,   they  were  ashamed,  made  them- 
selves aprons  of  leaves,  and  God,  to  show 
them  how  degrading  sin  was,  gave  them 
covering  from  beasts.   Now  mind  this:  do 
not  think  yourself  any   better   for  your 
beautiful  clothing;  some  insect  (the  silk- 
worm) or  some   animal  (the   sheep)  has 
worn  it  before  you;  you  only  wear  put-ofif 
clothing;  and  you  may  choose  ever  such 
gaudy  colors,  some  stupid  bird  has  much 
finer  covering.   And  as  to  your  beads  and 
pieces  of  glass  (in  bracelets   and  on  your 
dress),  I  do  not  know  at  all  what  to  say 
to  them ;  savages  wear  much  larger  pieces 
of  glass,  and  you  do  :!ot  think,  them   any 
better  for  it.  Now,  dear  child,  be  advised : 
dress  neatly  and  comfortably,  and  leave 
all  trappings,  blotches  and  bells  to  other 
creatures  to  wear;  you  have  a  soul  within 
you,  a  heaven  above  you,  and  an  eternity 
before  you.    Think  of  these,  and  act  ac- 
cordingly. 

The  Child's  Dream. 

Oa  !  I  have  had  a  dream,  mother, 

So  beaatifal  and  strange ; 
Would  I  could  still  sleep  on,  mother, 

And  that  dream  never  change!" 
"  What  hast  thou  dreamed,  my  dear  one  ? 

Thy  look  is  bright  and  wild  ; 
Thy  mother's  ear  is  ready 

To  listen  to  her  child." 

"  I  dreamed  I  lay  asleep,  mother. 

Beneath  an  orange  tree, 
When  a  white  bird  came  and  sang,  mother, 

So  sweetly  unto  me  ; 
Though  it  woke  me  with  its  warbling, 

Its  notes  were  soft  and  low, 
And  it  bade  me  rise  and  follow, 

Wherever  it  might  go. 

"  It  led  me  on  and  on,  mother. 

Through  groves  and  realms  of  light. 
Until  it  came  to  one,  mother, 

Which  dazzled, — 'twas  so  bright. 
As  tremblingly  I  entered. 

An  angel  form  drew  near. 
And  bid  me  welcome  thither. 

Nor  pain,  nor  sorrow  fear. 
"  I  know  not  aught  was  there,  mother, 

I  only/f/t  'twas  bliss, 
—And  joined  that  white  bird's  song,  mother. 

OhJ  canst  thou  read  me  this  ?" 
"  Yes,  dearest,  to  thy  mother 

Such  happiness  is  given — 
Thy  guardian  angel  was  that  bird. 

That  grove  of  light  was  Heaven  t"

DifiNKs  FOR  THK  SicK.— Water  is  the  bev- 
erage prepared  by  the  bountiful  Creator  to 
allay  the  thirst  of  all  living  creatures  on  the 
earth  ;  and  when  the  bare  quenching  of  thirsi 
is  the  object,  clear,  pure  cold  water  is  the  best 
drink  that  can  be  given  :  but,  when  other  ob- 
jects are  to  be  attained,  a  combination  becomes 
necessary,  into  which,  generally, enters  an  acid, 
an  alkali,  a  stimulus,  a  tonic,  or  some  article 
of  nourishment.  Wa  bilious  diseases,  acidulated 
drinks,  are  often  found  beneficial ;  and  one  of 
the  best  of  these  is  in  the  form  of  lemonade.

The  Mother's  injunction,  on  present- 
ing her  Son  with  a  Bible. 

Bemkmbkk,  love,  who  gave  thee  this, 

When  other  days  shall  come  : 
When  she,  who  had  thy  earliest  kiss. 

Sleeps  in  her  narrow  home. 
Remember  'twas  a  mother  gave 
The  gift  to  one  she'd  die  to  save. 

That  mother  sought  a  pledge  of  love, 

The  holiest  for  her  son  ; 
And  from  the  gifts  of  God  above, 

She  chose  a  goodly  one.. 
She  chose,  for  her  beloved  boy. 
The  source  of  light,  and  life,  and  joy. 

And  bade  him  keep  the  gift,— that,  when 
The  parting  hour  would  come. 

They  might  have  hope  to  meet  again. 
In  an  eternal  home.  * 

She  said  his  faith  in  that  would  be 

Sweet  incense  to  her  memory. 


And  should  the  scoffer  in  his  pride, 
Ijiugh  that  fond  faith  to  scorn. 

And  bid  him  cast  the  pledge  aside, 
That  he  from  youth  had  borne ; 

She  bade  hira  pause,  and  ask  his  breast, 

If  be,  or  she,  had  loved  him  best  ? 

A  parent's  blessing  on  her  son 

(Joes  with  this  holy  thing  ; 
The  love  that  would  retain  the  one 

Must  to  the  other  cling. 
Remember  !  'tis  no  idle  toy, 
A  mother's  gift— Remember,  boy  !

All  copies,  unless  ordered  otherwise,  will 
henceforth  be  forwarded  by  mail.  This  we 
think  to  be  the  safest  way  lor  copies  to  reach 
their  destination. 


To  Our  Subscribers  and  Agents. 

»»TAIM8HT8^eB 

We  shall  feci  obliged  to  you,  il>fou~woti;ld,  at 
an  early  date,  forward  the  dues  for  the  quarter. 
Small  sums  may  be  paid  most  convenicDtly  in 
post-stamps  enclosed  in  a  letter  by  express. 

Payments  will  be  acknowledged  only  under 
our  signature,  upon  bill-heads  from  our  office. 

Our  Collectors. 

We  have  appointed  Mr.  Joseph  Labatt  our 
Collector  for  this  city  ;  and  we  request 
our  patrons  not  to  pay  any  moneys  to  some 
impostor  who  collected,  lately,  in  several  places 
without  authorization. 

Mr.  Jacob  Berel  continues  the  collector  for 
the  school  fund  and  oter  bills  in  his  hands. 


To  Our  Agents. 

We  must  apologise  to  those  of  our  friends 
who  tender  us  their  services  as  agente,  (and 
the  generality  do  it  gratis,)  for  not  having 
written  to  them  individually  as  yet  ;  the  press 
of  business  imperatively  confines  us  to  more 
than  ordinary  labor. 

We  must  also  extend  this  apology  to  the 

East.

To  A  portion  of  our  Subscribers  in  Ne- 
vada — JosI  Fish  received  a  number  of  copies 
from  our  office,  and  has  since  absented  himself 
without  either  settling  for  the  numbers  receiv- 
e<l,  or  giving  the  names  of  the  subscribers.  We 
beg  those  who  were  supplied  by  said  Joel  Fish, 
to  give  their  names  to  Mr.  Welch,  of  Nevada, 
or  to  send  to  our  office. 

Our  agents  are  politely  requested  to  let  us 
know  the  approximate  number  of  copies  they 
want ;  since  the  combination  of  the  two  papers 
must  necessarily  require  a  different  arrange- 
ment. 


We  hope  to  bo  able  to  indemnify  our  readers 
for  the  encroachment  of  this  week  by  a  pro- 
longation of  our  columns  in  the  next  issue.

Influence  of  Religion. 

The  philanthropist,  on  viewing  the  benumb- 
ing  effects    of   worldlincss,  indifference    and 
irreligioo  ;  on  beholding  a  world  facinatcd   by 
the  atlractiDns  of  splendid  vice,  ehsnared^TBe 
charming  allurements  of  sensuality,  chained  to 
earth  by  the  all-oppressive  weight  of  material- 
ism, and  laceratetl  by  petty  jealousies,  strifes, 
contensions  and  litigations  which  originate  in 
sin  and  end  in   vexation   of  spirit :  tlie»^hi- 
lanthropiat,  on  beholding  the  blasting  effects 
of  a  world  living  without  God  ;  af  er  finding 
all  his  efforts  at  reform,  not  only  (a'moit)  with 
out  effect,  but  himself  spurned,   abused  and 
persecuted  by  a  world  which  hates  (even  silent) 
reproof,  which  can   brook  no  superiority,  and 
which,  in  its   feverish  paroxisms,  will  spill  the 
cooling  draught  tendered  it  by  the  kind  hand 
of  love,    and    strikes    the    physician    whom 
humanity  prompts  to  offer  it  :  the  philanthro- 
pist,— when  rejected  by  a  world  for  his  singu- 
larities, when  grieved  at  perverseness,  ingrati 
tude  and  neglect — may.it  once  relieve  his  view, 
refresh  his  spirit  and  rejoice  hissoul  by  turning 
away,  for  a  time,  from  the   pigmies   produced 
by  worldliness,  to  the  giant  figures  raised  by 
faith,  by  vital    faith,  by  the  all  reviving  and 
elevating  power  of  religion.     For  while   the 
world  contracts   faith  expands  ;  while  selfish- 
ness debases  Godliness  elevates:  while  ambi- 


tion swallows  a  Korah,  and  oovetousness  con- 
sumes a  greedy  .-,shan,  Heaven  takes  up  an 
Elius,  and  light  is  sown  ({wb|iw<m1)  for  the 
righteous  and  joy  for  the  upright. 

The  history  of  religion  affords  thousands  of 
examples  in  illustration  of  our  statement ;  the 
history  of  the  Jewish  and  Christian  Church — 
though  differing  widely  in  points  of  belief,  are 
actuated  by  the  same  principle.  A  merciful 
God,  in  his  kindness,  did  not  deposite  the 
religious  sentiment  with  the  guardians  of  the 
Synagogue  or  the  Church,  but  He,  in  His 
mercy,  engraved  it  on  the  tablets  of  the  human 
heart,  and  that,'  in  the  Jew  and  Gentile,  is 
constituted  alike.  We  say  the  history  of 
religion,  in  the  Synagogue  and  the  Church, 
furnishes  thousands  of  examples  in  illustration 
of  our  position  :  the  fruitful  vine  planted  in 
the  garden  of  the  Lord  "  rejoices  both  man 
and  God"  ;  the  lofty  "  palm  trees  planted  in 
the  house  of  God"  tower  heavenward,  and 
seem  by  their  nodding  foliage,  to  invite  the 
passer-by  to  enter  and  refresh  himself  in  their 
shade. 

The  world  has  produced  her  men  of  might, 
and  has  had  to  weep  at  their  mighty  deeds  ; 
religion  has  trained  her  heroes  and  they  turned 
the  wilderness  into  an  Eden,  and  the  flinty 
rock  (the  human  heart)'  into  wells  of  living 
waters. 

We  will  not  refer  at  this  time  to  saints  and 
martyrs,  but  will,  for  practical  purposes, 
adduce,  in  tfai»  itmLi^  Ml^mimg  iiiiMtijiii,  a 
few  of  the  benign  influences  of  religion  on  the 
human  heart. 

It  requires  no  proof  to  show  that  the  misery 
created  by  the  depraved  state  of  our  judicature 
is  incalculable.  What  use  is  it  to  the  citizen 
to  pay  a  portion  of  his  earnings  to  an  expensive 
Legislature,  if  the  law  enacted  cannot  be 
reached  without  a  loss  of  considerable  time, 
ease  and  expense. 

True  religion  bag  in  fact  furnished  us  exam- 
ples of  a  judicature  that  deserves  to  be  held  up 
to  view,  and  which  gave  occasion  to  this 
article. 

Litigation  among  Jews  and  Christians  in 
better  times  and  countries,  was  rarely  brought 
before  the  secular  judge.  Every  Synagogue 
had  her  da'yanim  (judge)  to  decide  between 
brother  and  brother.  Such  decisions  were 
never  protracted,  nor  attended  with  expense ; 


and,  say  the  Robbis,  "  whosoever  resorts  to 
courts  of  justice  is,  in  a  manner,  guilty  of 
idolatry.  And  the  Church, Xlhe  Primitive 
Church.ybeing  organized  exactly  like  the  Syn- 
agugae,^  had  gtiattSF  pfovisionsl  ~~^ 

enjoined — [See  1  Cor.  4.] 

Such  courts  (da-yanim)  existed  in  Israel 
since  time  immemorial,  and  do  exist  to  this 
day  in  western  aud  southern  Europe.  In  Po 
land,  Russia  and  Turkey  parties  have  their 
difficulties  decided  before  a  bethdin,  ^  court,)^ 
generally  consisting  of  three  Rabbis,  who 
settle  differences  immediately — on  the  very  day 
when  brought  befors  them  ;  and  even  in  difficult 
cases  the  decision  is  protracted  to  but  a  few 
days.  The  duties  of  the-:e  Rabbis  is,  where 
the  case  is  not  quite  clear,  to  try  to  make  a 
compromise  before  they  proceed  to  trial.  As 
to  costs,  there  are  none  worth  noticing,  nor  do 
we  know  or  did  we  ever  hear  of  any  single 
Instance  that  the  trifling  sura  paid  was  at  all 
coosid'ired  an  item.  By  the  provision  of  such 
courts  many  a  family  is  saved  from  ruin,  and 
justice  goes  hand  in  hand  with  the  law.  'J'he 
following  story  will  be  read  with  interest  : 

The  Beth-din, 

Or  Integrity   of  a  Rabinical  Judicature. 
^I'liU'illTiWHH^  nf  t&a.  KgEtcou*  may  lemjto  a 


Vital  Religion  Rare. 
It  is  a  lamentable  fact  that  true  religion, 
which  may  be  defined  as  a  deep  impression  in 
our  souls  of  the  existence  of  God  and  Provj. 
as  we  find  j  dence ;  oTour  sole  dependence  onTOi,  and 
our  duty  to  shapen  our  lives  according  to  Ills 
will,  as  revealed  in  our  souls,  in  nature  and  bj 
inspiration  of  holy  men,  is  rare  indeedi — Terj 
rare.  And  although  we  will  not  draw  anj 
consolation  from  the  fact  that  our  neighbors 
are  suffering  from  a  similar  evil  under  which 
we  labor,  the  following  item  may  teach  us  a 
lesson  of  humiliation.  We,  alas  !  see  that  sin 
is  operative  in  every  sphere,  and  that  there  is 
none  righteous  ;  no,  not  one ! 

"  The  programme  of  the  Grand  Synod  of 
Protestant  Christians,  to  come  off  September 
10,  1857,  in  Berlin,  contains  this  question  for 
debate,  among  many  others.  '  To  what  ac- 
tions should  the  observation  prompt  us,  that 
notwithstanding  the  return  of  theology  to  the 
positive  dogmas  of  the  established  Church, 
there  is  so  little  spiritual  life  in  the  congrega- 
tions.' " 


A  rich  Russian  merchant  died,  intestate, 
ieaTJng  a  large  ftimlly,  and  the  property  was 
to  be  divided  among  the  heirs,  who,  instead  of 
going  to  law,  or  calling  lawyers  to  their  aid, 
sent  for  three  Rabbis,  R.  Hirshll  Rudiminz,  R. 
Abraham  Lasja,  and  R.  Judel  Slange,  titmiti^ 
4flBiv  an  eminent  Rabbi,  distingaished  tor 
acumen  and  rabbinical  learning. 

Our  Rabbis  spent  ten  days  in  dividing  the 
property  aud  arranging  the  affairs  of  the  fami- 
ly ;  all   was  done  according  to   the  strictest 
justice  and  impartiality,  to  the  satisfaction  of 
all  parties.     The  family,   being   rich,   handed 
the  Bpth-din   (the  three  Rabbis  forming  the 
Court.)  a  number  of  ducats.    What  did   our 
Rabbi  with  that  money  ?    R.  Judel  Slange 
returned  the  gold  to  the  family,  after  a  deduc- 
tion of  about  twenty-five  cents  for  every  day 
he  had  spent  at  the  house,  saying  that  the  sum 
which  he  could  have  earned  at  home  by  working 
at  his  trade  was  twenty-five  cents ;  and  the 
Rabbinical  law  teaches  that  no  da-yan  f  judgc^ 
dare  take  pay  for  his  decision  ;  all  that  he  can 
charge  for  is  his  time.    And,  say  the  Rabbis, 
"  make  not  the  study  of  the  law  a  means  of 
self  aggrandisement,  nor  a    hatchet    to  hew 
therewith."-^ III!  i    WUiiim,)     Thus,  in  con- 
formity to  this  injunction,  our  Rabbi   worked 
hard  for  his  bread  ;  he  would  buy  a  few  skins, 
tan  them  and  live  on  his  earnings — he  was  a 
rabbi   and  a  tanner :  and  confining  his  wants 
and  those   of  his   numerous  family  to  actual 
necessaries,  and  being  a  stranger  to  luxury  aud 
worldly  pomp,  his  earnings  supplied  him  with 
his  wants,  without  even   neglecting  his  study  ; 
for  while  at  work  you  might  have  heard  him 

recite,  continually,  portions  of   the 
Mishnah  and  the  Talmud  from  memory. 

Such  are  the  characters  formed  under  the 
influence  of  Religion.  Can  the  world  furnish 
us  many  similar  examples  ?  JjaUguMMU^as,

Indian  Record  of  Time. — There  is  no  word 
iu  the  Indian  language  for  the  word  year. — 
The  Indians  reckon  time  by  the  return  of 
snow,  or  the  returning  of  flowers,  and  the 
flight  of  the  birds  announces  the  progress  of 
the  season.  The  motion  of  the  sun  marks  the 
hour  of  the  day  ;  and  these  distinctions  of 
time  arc  not  noted  in  numbers,  but  in  language 
aud  illustrations  of  a  highly  poetical  character 


The  Human  Face. — The  Rev.  Orville,  in 
one  of  his  lectures  on  the  Problem  of  Humao 
Destiny,  remarks : — 

The  expression  of  the  face  is  a  beautiful  dis- 
tinction of  humanity.  We  are  little  aware  of 
tbe  influence  which  it  constantly  ex«rts.  If 
the  dumb  animal,  on  whom  man  exercises  hig 
cruelty— if  the  horse  or  dog,  when  suffering 
by  a  blow  from  the  violence  of  man — could 
turn  upon  him  with  a  look  of  indignation  or 
appeal,  could  anyone  resist  the  power  of  the 
mule  expostulation  ?  How  extraordinary,  too, 
the  difference  of  expression  in  the  human  face^ 
by  which  the  recognition  of  personal  identity 
is  secured  I  On  this  small  surface,  nine  inches 
by  six,  are  depicted  such  various  traitSj] 
among  the  million  of  inhabitants  on  the 
no  two  have  the  same  lineaments  of  the  face. 
What  dire  confusion  would  ensue,  if  all  counte- 
nances were  alike ;  if  parents  did  not  know 
their  own  children  by  sight,  nor  husbands  their 
wives !  But  now  we  can  pick  out  our  friend  from 
among  the  multitudes  of  the  assembled  uni- 
verse. 

Tunis. 

There  are  about  30,000  Jews  in  this  town  ; 
a  tenth  part  of  the  whole  are  supposed  to  be 
Europeans.     Three  or   four  physicians  of  the 
Bey  are  Jews,  and  among  them  the  chief  phy- 
sician, Dr.   Abraham  Lambraso,  who  is  deco- 
rated with  the  order  of  the  legion  of  honor  and 
grand  cross  of  tbe    Nicham-Tsichar.     The 
universal    esteem    enjoyed    by  this    eminent 
practitioner,  the  respect  inspired  by  his  char- 
acter, as  well  as  the  high  position  in  which  he 
is  placed,  give  to  all  his  steps  considerable 
influence,    and    he    availed    himself  of   this 
during  a  melancholy  emergency,  both  for  the 
benefit  of  science  and  his   suffering  fellows 
citizens.  When  the  cholera  broke  out  at  Tunis 
last  summer,  it  struck  down  a  population  un- 
prepared for  the  calamity ,either  with  preventive 
or  curative  means.    Hospitals,  dispensaries, 
hygienic  institutions,  and  the  like  establish- 
ments   were    unknown    in    the    East.      In 
conjunction  with  some  friends.  Dr.  Lambraso 
raised  a  subscription  among  his  co-religionists 
which,  in  a  few  hours,  amounted  to  a  consider- 
able sum,  and  which  was  employed  in  providing 
the  necessary  medical   assistance  for   those 
seized   with    cholera,   without    any  religious 
distinction.    This  example  of   philanthropic

The  Tower  of  Babel  not  discovered  yet 

We  are  reluctant  to  dispel  so  agreeable  an 
illusion  as  the  discovery  of  the  tower  of  Babel, 
by^BrlogingTf  to  the  severe  test  oThTstoricarr  f^  remarns  orthe^'ower  of  BabeW  which 


and  geographical  science  ;  but  the  fact  is  that 
the  researches  of  Mr.  Place  in  the  great  mound 
at  Arbela,  though  highly  interesting  and  valu- 
able, have  no  more  to  do  with  the  Tower  of 
Babel  than  they  have  with  Bunker  Hill  Monu- 
ment.   It  Mr.  Place  supposes  that  he  has  dis- 
covered the  Tower  of  Babel  at  Arbela,  he  must 
be,  even  for  a  Frenchman,   unusally   ignorant 
of  the  Bible ;  and  we  are  at  a  loss  to  conceive 
how  the  .reverend  correspondent  of  the  Travel- 
er could  for  a  moment  have  concurred  in  such 
a  supposition.     His  assertion  that  no  locality 
was  assigned  to  the  structure,  is  directly  con- 
tradicted by  the   plain   language  of  scripture  : 
"  So  the  Lord  scattered   them  abroad  from 
thence  upon  the  face  of  the  earth  ;  and  they  left 
off  to  build  the  city  ;  therefore  is  the  name  Of 
it  called  Babel."    This  conclusively  fixes  the 
locality.    Now,  the  site  of  Babylon   is  well 
known,  and  there,  if  anywhere,  we  must  look 
for  the  remains,  if  remains  exist,  of  the  famous 
tower,  and  not  at  Arbela,  which  lies  300  miles 
north  of  Babylon.    The  fact  that  bitumen  is 
found  at  Arbela,  is  of  no  importance,  for  bi- 
tutu«B  i6  f<>aBd  in  ims&y  piaeet»  m  the  tit^ig}tbt>f- 
hood  of  the    Tigris  and  Euphrates,  and    is 
nowhere  more  plentiful  than  at  Hit,  on  the  Eu- 
phrates, at  no  great  distance  above  Babylon. 
On  the  site  of  Babylon   there  still   exists 
stupendous  reins,  pre-eminent  among  which 
are  two  vast  piles,  called  by  the  Arabs  the 
Mujelebee  and  the  Birs  Nimrod.    The  trav- 
.  elers  who  have  explored  and   described  the 
rt^s  of  Babylon,  are  divided  in  opinion  as  to 
which  of  these  piles  is  entitled  to  be  considered 
the  remains  of  the  Tower  of  Babel.     Mr.  Rich, 
by  whom  they   were  first  described  in  1811, 
decided  in  favor  of  the  Birs  Nimrol.    Sir 
Robert  Ker  Porter,  in  1818,  advocated  the 
claims  of  the   Mujelebee  ;   and  in  this  opinion 
the  eminent  geographer.  Major   Rennell,  coin- 
cided.    Mr.   Buckingham,  a  subsequent  trav- 
eler, came  to   the  same  conclusion  with  Mr. 
Rich.    And  no  man  can  say  authoritatively 
who  is  right.    The  question,  in  all  probability, 
admits  of  no  decision. 

The  mound  at  Arbela  which  Mr.  Place  has 
examined,  was  described  by  Eraser  in  1841 
in  his  work  on  Messopotamia  and  Assyria,  as 
"  a  large  artificial  mound,  60  or  70  feet  high, 
300  yards  in  length  by  200  in  breadth."  The 
Mujelebee  at  Babylon  is  150  feet  high,  and 
the  Birs  Nimrod  nearly  250  feet  high,  or 
three  or  four  times  as  high  as  the  ruin  of 
Arbela,  Throughout  Assyria  and  Mesopo. 
tamia,  there  are  multitudes  of  ruins  equal  to 
or  greater  than  that  at  Arbela,  with  quite  as 
good  claims  to  be  considered  the  Tower  of 
Babel,  that  is  to  say,  with  no  claims  at  all. 
Eraser,  whom  we  have  already  qnoted, 
speaking  of  these  ruins,  says  : 

"That  any  portion  of  the  mounds  now 
seen,  or  the  sites  we  have  described,  belongs 
to  those  earliest  cities  of  the  world,  which 
are  presumed  to  have  been  there  erected,  it 
would  be  more  than  rash  to  affii  m.  On  tbe 
contrary,  it  is  almost  certain  that  in  the  long 
period  of  more  than  4000  years,  which  have 
elapsed  since  Nimrod  founded  his  kingdom  in 
Shinar,  every  portion  of  the  original  fabrics 
must  have  mouldered  into  dust,  and  that  the 
huge  mounds  which  astonish  us  in  various 
parts — such  as  the  Birs  Nimrod,  Akkerkoof 
Workpa,  Mugeyer,  Sunkhera,  Zibliyeb,  Jibel, 
Sanam  and  others  belong  all  to  far  later, 
though  still  remote  ages  and  were  temples 
erected   at   the    instance   of  the   Chaldean 


priesthood  in  the  days  succeeding  Beber  Pul, 
to  the  honor  of  their  valorous  deities." 

These  are  unquestionably  sound  conclosions. 
It^is  Wle,  at  this  age  of  the  world,  to  look 


the  Bible  gives  no  description  whatever,  ex- 
cept, that,  like  all  the  rest  of  the  Babylonian 
edifices,  it  was  built,  or  rather  begun  to  be 
built  of  bricks  and  bitumen.  Not  a  single 
detail  is  given  by  which  I  could  ever  be  iden- 
tified. The  evidence  in  favor  of  the  authenti- 
city of  the  Scriptures  has  been  wonderfully 
enlarged  and  strengthened,  by  the  recent 
genuine  and  unmistakable  discoveries  of  As- 
syrian and  Babylonian  antiquities  ;  and  it  is 
greatly  to  be  desired,  that  it  should  not  be 
complicated  or  embarrassed  by  anything  of  a 
doubtful  or  merely  fanciful  character. 
The  Evangelist  says  of  the  Traveler's  article : 
"  Mr.  Williams,  one  of  the  missionaries  of 
the  American  Board,  recently  returned  from 
there,  thinks  it  all  a  mistake,  to  say  nothing 
worse.    The  whole  statement,  in  its  geography, 

is  a  tissue  of  gross  errors." 
■>» 
A  Vision. 
If  we  give  credence  to  anything  beyond  what 
we  are  able  to  account  for,  upon  the  grounds 
of  reason  and  experience  ;  «r,  in  other  words, 
the  supernatural,  one    point    is    established, 
namely  :  that  a  relation  does  exist    between 
this  life  and  a  some  future  life,  and  that  is  all 
that  is  essential  for  us  to  know  ;  for  were  the 
secrets  of  the   eternal  world  entirely  revealed 
to  us,  we  should  be  less  interested  in  the  subject 
than  we  now  are,  while  it  is  involved  in  doubt 
and  mystery. 

People  often  boast  of  not  being  superstitions. 
They  may  be  the  worse  from  the  fact — lower 
in  thought,  and  lower  in  the  scale  of  being. 
Superstition  is  the  blind  element  to  the  religious 
feeling,  and  however  enlightened  may  be  our 
views  upon  the  great  subjects  of  revelation, 
whoever  stops  short  in  a  merely  rational  reli- 
gion, lacks  its  best  principle— that  instinctive 
faith  which  springs  from  the  needs  of  humanity. 
He  who  believes  warmly  in  these  great  truths, 
is  apt  to  cast  about  to  see  what  will  confirm  its 
hidden  mysteries.  A  man  who  reasons  pro- 
foundly, and  yet  is  unable  to  recognize  a  con- 
sciousness beyond  and  above  all  reason,  is  devoid 
of  one  great  and  beautiful  element,  character- 
istic of  an  enlarged  and  elevated  mind. 

I  have  observed  that  persons  not  pre-occupied 
with  metaphysic  subtleties,  and  of  pureness 
and  singleness  of  life,  are  the  ones  to  receive 
intimations  apparently  denied  to  others. 

The  spirit  of  Religion,  says  an  eminent  Jew- 
ish Rabbi,*  like  a  venerable  matron,  will  direct 
and  guide  her  children  ;  who,  after  experimen- 
tal knowledge  of  her  worth,  will,  in  filial  love 
and  reverence,  unsuspiciously  follow  her  steps  : 
but  she  turns  her  back  to  the  insulting  hand 
that,  from  mere  curiosity  or  suspicion,  insult 
ingly  tries  to  lift  her  veil  and  stare  into  her 
face,  to  scrutinise  her  countenance.  She  presses 
to  her  bosom  the  "  child"  of  faith,  and  eludes 
the  grasp  of  the  cold-hearted  caviller. 

Strange  that  we  should  need  appeals  in  behalf 
of  our  spiritual  existence  ;  for  if  we  truly  believe 
in  it,  why  should  we  not  be  ready  to  recognize 
intimations  of  a  sympathy  between  that  and 
the  external?  All  the  best  sentiments  and 
affections  of  our  nature  plead  for  this,  and  if 
the  reason  or  understanding  reject  the  faith,  it 
is  only  because  that  is  a  part  of  the  soul  which 
needs  it  not,  which  neither  hopes  nor  fears,  nor 
loves,  nor  hates,  but  only  demonstrates.  It  is 
the  pure  intellect,  but  it  is  not  the  soul.  It  is 
well  to  reason  clearly — it  is  part  of  man  to  do 
so,  but  to  only  reason  is  impish. 

*  Akedah. 


Reason  should  take  the  aliment  craved  by 
each  of  the  other  faculties,  and  judge  of  its 
appropriateness,  but  why  she  should  starve  the 
imagination,  and  call  it  ill  names,  it  would  be 


difficult  to  conceive.  It  is  as  much  a  part  of  a 
true  man,  ay,  and  the  best  part  too,  as  reason 
herself. 

I  confess  I  am  willing  to  employ  my  reason 
to  confirm  my  imagination.  I  do  doubt,  and 
yet  longt^believe.  1  look  about  for  testimony. 
I  am  ready  to  receive  authority,  instead  of  re- 
plying to  some  thrilling  story  with  the  impert- 
inent, puerile  and  conceited.  "  I  am  net  super 
Blitious,"  I  desire  to  be  so,  in  the  best  sense  of 
the  term,  and  only  regret  the  meagerness  of  my 
own  experience  Yet,  that  there  is  truth  in 
these  things,  is  evident  from  the  universal  faith 
in  them.  True,  the  vulgar  have  loaded  them 
with  childish  and  terrific  images,  but  the  sub- 
ject admits  the  latter  element,  and  the  former 
must  be  imputed  to  the  weakness  of  untutored 
thought.  The  Banshe  of  the  Irish  ;  the  Second 
Sight  of  the  Scotch,  and  the  Wild  Huntsman 
of  the  German,  all  point  to  some  truth,  which 
has  become  crystalized  into  shape.  I  may  not 
take  these  things  literally,  but  they  are  voices 
under  the  throne,  to  which  I  am  willing  to 
listen  while  the  throne  itself  is  enveloped  in 
mystery. 

X  nttvtj  rogreiMjti  tnt?  meagcrness  w  my  own 
experience,  and  yet  1  once  had  a  pretty  incident 
of  the  unusual  kind  through  a  child.  He  was 
a  healthful,  lively  and  intelligent  boy  of  three 
years  old.  One  bright  Sabbath-evening  twilight 
he  had  been  singing  in  my  arms,  and  then  sat 
awhile  perfectly  quiet;  sueldenly  he  turned 
around  and  whispered  in  ray  ear,  "  Who  is  that 
leaning  over  the  rocking  chair  ?" 

"  Who  does  it  look  like,"  I  replied,  without 
the  least  appearance  of  surprise  ;  for  the  chair 
was  empty,  and  stood  quite  near  us. 

"  He  looks  so  pleasant,"  was  the  reply,  in 
his  imperfect  utterance. 

"  Will  you  go  and  shake  hands  ?  '  I  ankeH. 
He  disengaged  himself  from  my  arms,  crorscd 
over  to  the  chair,  and  looking  confidingly 
upwards,  grasped  the  air,  and  not  till  he  had 
done  so  two  or  three  times  did  his  countenance 
change,  and  then  he  whispered,  "  /  tant  feel 
him  /"sighed  heavily, and  returned  to  my  arms. 
The  child  more  than  once  spoke  of  seeing 
objects  in  this  way — was  perfectly  healthful, 
playful  and  noisy  as  other  children.  I  never 
.showed  either  surprise  or  curiosity  iu  the  mat- 
ter, never  repeated  the  story  in  his  presence, 
scarcely  ever  have  talked  about  it  in  any  way, 
so  there  was  nothing  to  pique  the  marvellous 
in  the  child,  and  nothing  to  tempt  to  falsehood, 
by  making  trim  the  hero  of  a  story.  The  pres- 
ence must  have  been  real  to  him,  not  caused  by 
disease  or  excitement.  I  turned  his  attention 
at  once  to  other  subjects,  without  making  any 
comment. 

At  another  time,  he  crawled  from  his  little 
crib,  and  waked  mc,  saying — "  Tfie  peaiant 
(pleasant)  man  has  tome  adain,"  pointing  to 
the  back  of  his  crib.  There  was  no  object 
that  could  possibly  deceive  the  fancy  of  the 
child. 

"  Well,  go  to  sleep,  my  dear,"  I  said.  He 
laid  down  tranquilly,  and  presently  culled  out, 

"  He  is  done,  dear  !"  and   soon   was  fast 

asleep  again.  There  was  nothing  extraordin- 
ary in  the  habits  of  the  child  ;  he  was  affec- 
tionate, exceedingly  truthful,  and  knew  nothing 
of  fear,  and  was  of  that  joyous,  happy  temper- 
ament which  many  would   suppose  unallied  to 

any  thing  of  the  kind.

THE    NEWS. 


roreign. 

Berlin.— In  consequenee  of  the  reforms  in- 
Troduced  In  the  large  Synagogtie  in  Berlin,  by 
the  officers,  with  the  consent  of  Rev.  Dr.  Sachs, 
it  has  been  found  necessary  for  the  ultra-ortho- 
dox party  to  build  a  new  Synagogue,  to  which 
permission  of  tbe  government  has  been  ob- 
tained. 

Vienna.— The  Chebra  Kalisha  of  Vienna 
counts  237  members.  Its  income,  in  the  year 
1856,  was  13,579  Austrian  florins  (86,613  50.) 
The  duty  of  this  corporation  is  to  visit  the 
sick,  support  the  indigent  sick,  and  bury  the 
dead.    There  are  now  2500  Jews  in  Vienna. 

PozKN.— Dr.  Samter,  a  celebrated  lawyer  in 
Posen  was  appointed  Judge  of  the  District 
Court ;  but,  on  account  of  his  Jewish  religion, 
is  not  permitted  to  administer  an  oath  to  a 
Christian,  to  which  end  he  must  have  a  clerk 
professing  the  Christian  religion. 

Herat,  (AFiiiiANisTAN.) — We  learn  from  a 
paper,  that  the  Serdar  immediately  after  the 
entry  of  the  Persians  into  Herat,  strictly  or- 
dered that  the  lives  and  property  of  the  inhab- 
itants of  every  religion  should  be  respected  ; 
and  that  several  soldiers,  who  broke  into  the 
rcsitlence  of  a  Jew  were  put  to  death,  and 
their  heads  exposed  during  seven  days,  which 
produced  a  good  effect. 

London.— The  papers  some  weeks  ago  re- 
ported the  decease  of  the  well  known  master 
of  ceremonies  at  Rosherville  Gardens.  Wc 
did  not  know  at  the  time  that  the  deceased 
was  of  Jewish  descent.  We  have,  however, 
since  learned,  from  excellent  authority,  that 
the  departed  had  during  his  life  time  repeat- 
edly expressed  the  desire  to  rest  after  decease 
among  those  to  whom  ho  belonged  by  extrac- 
tion, but  with  whom  he  but  little  associated 
during  life.  His  desire  was  complied  with. 
His  remains  icpose  in  the  burial  ground  of 
Maiden-lane  Synagogue.  This  desire  evi- 
dences once  more  what  has  been  shown  over 
and  over  again,  how  powerful  the  Jewish 
feeling  works  even  in  the  breasts  of  those  who 
during  life  hardly  evinced  an  indication  of  it. 
Married  to  one,  a  Christian  by  birth,  surroun- 
ded by  children  brought  up  in  Christianity, 
his  heart  yet  yearns  after  fellowship  in  a  future 
life  with  those  from  whom  he  stood  aloof  in 
the  present.  He  could  bear  to  have  his  dust 
acperated  from  that  of  wife  and  children,  but 
not  from  that  of  parents  and  co-religionists. 
Lamartinc  is  right ;  religion  is  a  stronger  tie 
than  any  other  on  earth. — 

Bagdad.— An  Arabian  Israelite,  a  banker 
of  Calcutta,  traveled  in  the  year  1837  from 
Hindostan  to  Bagdad.  He  met  with  a  heavy 
storm  on  the  ocean  ;  and  vowed  to  spend  the 
largest  part  of  his  fortune  to  benevolent  pur- 
poses, if  God  would  save  him.  He  was  saved 
came  to  Bagdad,  established  a  school  on  the 
basis  of  a  large  fund,  from  which  already 
about  200  teachers  have  gone  forth.  The  bank- 
er's name  is  Ezekicl.  His  legacies  helped  tbe 
Jews  here  to  the  best  schools  in  the  Orient. 


LEANNE.SS. — This  is  not  a  disease;  on&the 
contrary,  lean  people  arc  crcnerally  healf^, 
muscular,  strong  and  active,  and  remarkat>lc 
for  a  keen  appetite.  But  when  there  appears 
a  diminution  in  8treng%— when  the  spirits 
sink,  and  the  food  does  nof^(reely  digest — then 
leanness  is  the  sign  of  lurking  disease.  Such 
patients  .should  take  a  cup  of  milk,  warm  from 
the  cow,  every  morning  ;  or  cold  milk,  with 
two  raw  fresh  eggs  beaten  up  with  it.  A  pint 
of  the  best  porter  or  stout  at  dinner,  and  tbe 
same  at  snppor.  'i'ea  is  better  than  cofToe ; 
and  salad  with  strong  supplies  of  oil,  not  much 
vinegar,  arc  recommended.

AVAST  AMOUNT  of  nauseating  ami  noxious  com- 
pounds having  been  thrust  into  the  market  under  the 
name  of  '  Bitters,"  it  becomes  the  duty  of  tiie  proprietors 
and  agen  ts  for  the  sale  ot  the  celebrated 

Gregory's  Vegetable  Braady  Bitters, 
to  rjt|>o8e  the  fact,  and  absolve  thpiiiHclvuM  from  giving 
tacit  assent  to  any  merit  claimed  to  be  possesKcil  by  thobu 
injurious  coni|ioundH.  The  sjiecial  qualities  of  ailEOOKY'S 
BITTERS  are  to  renovate  and  invigorate  the  b<Hly,  pro- 
moting activity  in  the  digestive  organs,  and  consMjuently 
eradicating  Dyspepsia  and  other  similar  complaints  incident 
to  sedentary  life.  To  all  trayeers,  either  by  sea  or  land,  to 
miners  and  others  whoso  occupation  calls  for  severe  mus- 
cular action  these  Bitters  will  be  foiiiiil  nf  invaluable  ser- 
vice. The  high  stamUng  of  Da.  GREGORY,  the  discov- 
erer, was  the  first  guarantee  of  its  superior  uzcelleace  its 
own  unequalled  nient  has  since  established  for  it  a  world-

of  the  Medical  Faculty  In  Londou,  and  twice  President  of 
the  London  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons 

Tbeae  Bitters  are  comp'iscd  of  c«refiil|y  selected  root*  of

Tli»Brid»^ 


Oh  I  Uke  her,  >nd  be  faithful  etill, 

And  mey  the  bridal  tow 
Be  sacred  held  in  after  year*, 

And  warmly  breath'd  aa  now. 
Remember  'lis  no  common  tie 

That  binds  your  youthful  heart : 
'Tisone  that  only  truth  should  weave, 

And  only  death  should  part. 
The  joys  of  childhood's  happy  hour, 

The  home  of  riper  years, 
The  treasured  scenes  of  early  youth, 

In  sunshine  and  in  tears; 
The  purest  hopes  her  bosom  knew, 

When  her  young  heart  was  free. 
All  these  and  more  she  now  resigns 

To  brave  the  world  with  tl^ee. 
Her  lot  in  life  is  fix'd  with  thine. 

Its  good  and  ill  to  share. 
And  well  I  know  'twill  be  her  pride 

To  soothe  each  sorrow  there; 
Then  take  her  and  may  fleeting  time 

Mark  only  Joy's  increase. 

And  may  your  days  glide  sweetly  on 

In  happiness  and  peace.

Humility. 
Behold  that  modest,  blushing  flower. 
Among  the  grass  near  yonder  bower ; 
Bright  on^iU  breast  the  silvery  dew 
-      Adda  lustre  to  its  snow-like  hue. 
See,  how  it  hangs  its  modest  head, 
Boaroe  lifted  from  its  lowly  bed  ; 
And  whispers  to  the  ears  of  youth 
This  lesson  of  important  truth: — 
Whate'er  your  parts  or  virtues  be, 
O,  cultivate  humility ! 
Be  unobtrusive,  meek,    retired  ! 

Seek  to  be  useful,  not  admired, 

-■  ■  ' 

You  can  deceive  but  once. 
Tub  Quakke  and  thb  Couktbyman. — A 
Quaker,  passing  through  a  market,  stopped  at 
a  stall,  and  inquired  the  price  of  citrons. 

"  I  have  none,"  said  the  honest  countryman, 
"  that  will  suit  you ;  thoy  are  decayed,  and 
their  flavor  is  gone." 

"  Thank  thee,  friend ;  I  will  go  to  the  next 
stand." 

"  Hast  thou  any  good  fruit  to-day  ?"  said  he 

to  the  dealer. 

"Yes,  sir  ;  here  are  some  of  the  finest  nut- 
megs of  my  garden.    They  are  small,  but  rich 
of  their  kind." 
*'  Then  thou  canst  recommend  them  ?" 
"  O,  certainly,  sir." 

"  Very  well ;  1  will  take  two."  He  carried 
them  home,  and  they  proved  not  only  unsound, 
but  miserably  tasteless: 

The  next  morning  he  again  repaired  to  the 
same  place.  The  man  who  sold  him  the  fruit

A  NouRisuiNO  Jklly  for  a  Sick  Pkrson. 
— Put  into  a  stone  jar  or  jag,  a  set  of  calPs 
feet,  cut  in  pieces,  a  quart  of  milk,  five  pints 
of  water, a  little  mace, half  an  ounce  of  isinglass 
and  a  handful  of  hartshorn  shavings.  Tie 
some  htown  paper  over  the  jug,  and  put  it 
into  the  oven  with  household  bread.  When 
done,  strain  it  through  a  sieve ;  and  when  cold 
take  off  the  fat  Some  of  it  may  occasionally 
be  warmed  up  with  wine  and  sugar.  It  is 
good  taken  as  broth,  with  herbs.

is  made  by  pouring  a  gallon  of  boiling  water 
upon  a  pound  of  tobacco  leaves,  and  straining 
it  in  twenty  minutes.

SPECIAL  NOTICES. 


"  Yes,  Sir,"  and  "  No,  Sir." 

Titles  of  respect  should  not  be  forgotten. 
"Yes,  sir,"  and  "No,  sir,"— "Yes,  ma'am,"  and 
"No,  ma'am,"  sound  much  better,  as  well  as 
much  more  refined  and  well-bred,  than  the 
blunt "  Yes,"  and  "  No,"  which  very  many 
children  in  these  days  are  accustomed  to  use. 

Nothing  sits  so  gracefully  upon  children, 
and  nothing  makes  them  so  lovely,  as  habitual 
respect  and  dutiful  deportment  towards  their 
parents  and  superiors.  It  makes  the  plainest 
face  beautiful,  and  gives  to  every  common  ac- 
tion a  nameless,  but  peculiar  charm. 
I  do  not  like  the  hyper  refiinement  of  world- 

iawoFnewsjpapees. 

1.  Subscribers  who  do  not  give  express  no- 
tice to  the  contrary  are  considered  as  wishing 
to  continue  their  subscription. 

2.  If  subscribers  order  their  paper  stopped 
publishers  may  continue  to  send  them  till  all 
charges  are  paid. 

8.  If  subscribers  neglect  or  refuse  to  take 
their  papers  from  the  office  or  place  to  which 
they  are  sent,  they  are  held  responsible  until 
they  settle  their  bill  and  give  notice  to  discon- 
tinue them. 

4.  If  Bubscribers  move  to  other  places  with- 
out informing  the  publisher,  and  the  paper  is 
sent  to  its  former  direction,  they  are  held  re- 
sponsible. Notice  should  always  be  given  of 
removal. 

The  Courts  have  decided  that  refusing  to 
take  a  paper  or  periodical  from  the  office,  or 
removing  and  leaving  it  unaalled  for  is  prima 
facie  evidence  of  fraud. 

Postmasters  would  oblige  by  a  strict  fulfil- 
ment of  the  regulations  requiring  them  to  notify 
publishers,  once  in  three  months,  of  papers 
not  taken  from  their  office  by  subscribers. 

Under  the  law  of  Congress  papers  are  not 
charged  postage  in  the  county  in  which  they 
are  published. 

Rates  of  Pottage. 

The  postage  on  all  letters  to  any  part  of  the 
country  must  be  prepaid. 

Letters  not  exceeding  i  ounce,  within  3000 
miles,  3  cents,  prepaid  ;  over  3000  miles,  10 
cents.  If  conveyed  wholly  or  partly  by  sea 
and  to  and  from  a  foreign  country,  10  cents 
within,  and  20  cents  over  2600  miles  unless 
otherwise  fixed  by  treaty,  Ac.  Every  addi- 
tional half-ounce,  or  a  fraction  carries  an  ad- 
ditional postage. 

Letters  dropped  for  delivery  at  same  post 
office,  1  cent     Advertised  letters  1  cent 

Newspapers,  periodicals,  unsealed  eiroularfl 
or  other  articles  of  printed  matter,  (except 
books,)   when  sent  to  any  part  of  the  United 


ly  people  who,  with  the  coldest  hearts  assume 
the  warmest  expression  of  attachment ;  on  the 
other  hand  we  are  shocked  with  the  little  blunt 
boy,  who  seemes  to  pride  himself  in  being  all 
opposition  and  speaks  in  a  language  that 
pierces  a  poor  mother's  and  teacher  s  heart  to 
the  quick.  Now  let  me  beg  you,  never  bo 
harsh,  speak  gently,  and  even  if  you  have  to 
object,  do  it  so  as  not  to  wound.  You  will 
then  make  others  more  satisfied  and  yourself 
more  easy.  We  love  children  that  are  mild, 
gentle  and  polite,  and  I  hope  to  count  you 
among  them.

Translation  of  the  Hebrew  Elegy  by  an  Octa- 

genariitn. 
What  am  I  f — and  what  business  have  I  here  f 
Hath  some   great  Being,  in  his  waken'd 

wrath, 
Here  thrown  me  into  desolation's  path, 
The  victim  of  distress,  and  pain,  and  woe  f 

Behold?  the  earth  devours  fhe  children  whom 
she  bears! 

"  All  is  but  vanity" — the  preacher's  voice  dex 
clares. 
My  coming  forth  was  unto  wailing  cries — 
My  going  hence  shall  be  into  the  io%h  ; 
The    days    between,    all    overcast    with 
gloom— 
And  troubles  fill  the  minutes  as  they  rise  :     , 
My  eighty  years  of  life  a  fleeting  portion  seem, 
Ev'n    "  vanity    of    vanities"— the   preacher's 
theme? 
What  canst  thou  furnish,  earth,  to  fill  my 
want? 
What  recompense  provide  for  all  my  toils? 
From  all  thy  proffer'd  gifU  my  soul  recoils: 
Transient  and  frail  each  joy  that  thou  canst 
grant ! 
Of  thy  best  treasures,  still  I  hear  the  preacher 

call, 
"All  vanity  of  vanities" — deceitful  all ! 
Yet  tears  shall  cease,  and  consolations  spring 


To  cheer  my  soul,  by  long  misfortune  tried  I 
A  Father's  mercy  bids  me  here  abide 
To  wait  His  will,  which  good  at  last  shall 
bring: 
Only  beyond  the  grave  hope  bears  its  fruits  of 

joy— 
"  To  fear  the   Lord,"  the  preacher  saith,  "  be 
thy  employ." 

This  world,  of  discipline  and  care  the  scene  I 
The  next,  of  rest  and  peace  the   glorious 

seat! 
Then  what  these  eighty  years  with  toil 
replete, 
Compar'd  with  endless  years  of  joy  serene  ? 
A  happy  Eden  there  invites  my  deathless  soul — 
"Then  fear   the  Lord  alway" — the   preacher's 
accents  roll. 
With   steadfast  aim   I'll   walk  my  journey 
through  ; 
With  Faith  my  staff,  I'll  meet  each  coming 

change — 
Nor  tremble,  though  'midst  ruins  wild  I 
range, 
Nor  fenr,  though  earth  should  quake  before 
my  view : 
My  soul   unmoved  shall  see  the  heavens  melt 

away — 
It  loves  to  "  fear  the  Lord"— the  preacher  to 
obey.  [Jewiih  Chronicle.

The  Influence  of  Parental  Example. 

^jJiiBt  as  tliu  twig  is  beat  tho  tree'i)  inclined." 
The  influence  of  parental  example  is  very 
aelJuur-ftttiy  approeiatcd.  W-g^  notU«  ii^^ 
infancy,  but  we  gradually  forget  it  in  malurer 
yeare.  Children  aptnd  th«  first  few  months  of 
existence  in  gazing  with  a  bewiidend  look 
upon  the  objeota  whichftirrouud  Uiem, — then 
they  begin  to  imitate  what  they  see.  At  fir«t 
they  catch  and  repeat  every  little  osternal  act 
and  persoual  habit;  but,  as  years  advunce. 
the  disposition  to  copy  leaves  the  exterior^ 
where  it  is  apparent  and  almost  harmless,  nnd 
goes  wiliiin.  The  inward  ehurncter  is  controN 
led  by  Its  powers  ;  and  thus  a  change,  which 
giv-s  it  tenfold  importance  removes  it  from  the 
Tiew,  nnd  causts  it  to  bo  for^jotten.  The  child 
of  eighteen  months  mimics  the  motion  of  your 
hand,  or  the  expression  of  your  countenance; 
but  at  ten  years,  it  adopts  the  priucipK-s  of 
vour  conduct,  and  imbibes  the  spirit  of  your 
he.irt. 

lit  very  careful,  then,  psrents!  not  to  neu- 
tralize the  *ffect  of  your  instructions  by  on 
cxsniple  of  a  contrary  tendency.  You  can 
teach  anything  easier  by  e.xamjde  than  by 
precept,  and  you  can  teach  sjn,  in  any  way, 
more  lasily  tliau  holiness.  If,  therefore,  you 
eucoiiiiige  lb'!  former  by  your  own  conduct 
aud  clioracter,  and  inculcate  the  latter  by  cold 
itretrnctton  onty,  yovr  chiW  wtH  mnrcli  wifch 
double  rapidity  down  the  descent.  You  will 
teach  hiiu  more  fretfuluess  and  impatience  by 
a  single  irritated  look  or  hasty  word  to  a 
donustic  or  to  your  children,  than  you  can 
eradicate  by  ninny  moral  lectures  on  the  ad- 
vantages of  a  calm  and  contented  spirit. 
If  you  make  a  remark  which  shows  a  disre- 
spectful or  irreverent  feeling  towards  the  will 
of  God,  it  will  catch  the  atention  of  your  child, 
and  penetrate  his  heart  like  an  arrow;  and 
your  cold  instructions  will  endeavor  in  vain  to 
oloae  the  wound. 

The  efforts,  however,  to  set  the  child  a  bright 
moral  and  religious  example  must  be  honest 
efforts.  See  that  your  hearts  are  right,  and 
then  let  your  conduct  farly  represent  your 
hearts.  The  attempt  to  keep  up  good  appear- 
ances merely,  will  certainly  fail.  We  cannot 
deceive  children  long  in  regard  to  our  real 
character.  We  may  exhibit  false  appearances 
of  piety,  or  of  benevolence,  or  of  honesty,  to 
our  neighbors;  we  may  deceive  our  visitors; 
we  may  sometimes  deceive  our  friends,  but  we 
cannot  long  deceive  children,  who  are  in  daily 
and  constant  intercourse  with  us. 

They  watch  us  at  all  times— see  us  in  every 
unguarded  moment  The  tone  of  voice  and 
expression  of  oountenaDoe,  which  we  did  not 
notice,  speak  volumes  to  them.  Let  us  not 
therefore  spend  our  time  in  watching  our  con- 
duct and  words.  We  will  watch  our  hearts. 
We  will  keep  them  right,  and  learn  not  to  seem 
patient  under  the  ordinory  vexations  ond  trial 
of  litV,  but  to  be  patient.  Our  children  will 
easily  discover  it,  if  we  are  so.  In  a  word, 
parents  must  octually  be,  in  heart  and  life, 
what  they  wish  their  ohildren  to  be.  Bo  as 
kind  and  amiable  yourselves  as  you  wish  them 
to  be.  Be  as  fretful,  and  impatient,  and  cold- 
hearted  in  religion,  as  you  wish  them  to  be. 
What  you  do  cordially  they  will  imitate,  and 
the  spirit  which  really  animates  your  heart, 
they  will  easily  imbibe. 

Ku  careful  also  that  the  spirit  of  all  your 
messures  of  government  be  such  as  to  promote 
and  not  retard  your  morol  and  religious  influ- 
ence. Let  your  iustructions  be  always  well 
timed. 

When  your  child  is  strongly  desiring  an 
indulgence,  his  heart  is  so  engrossed  with  the 
desire,  that  persuasion  and  reasoning  have  no 
effect.  j^-plesB  the  indulgence  is  of  such  a 
oharnctiffSntt  you  nre  willing  he  should  try  it, 
and  expM>.l3|ce  its  ill  effects,  you  must  com- 
mand. n6V"tempt  to  persuade.  J| 

tiK'Bo'f  AND  His  mVtiiicr. — Let  me  illustrate 
my  ni^Ung.  A  boy  cWmes  to  his  mother  for 
perraiiM^n  to  go  out  iiHo  the  street  to  play 
during  Ufc  evening 


•;No,   m^  child,"  says  the  mother,  "  1  had 


rather  you  would  not  go.  They  are  b»d  boy% 
and  you  will  lesrn  bad  habits.  I  think  you 
had  better  stay  in." 

"  But,  roother  I  do  not  think  they  are  bad 
boys.  Wilfiam  ond  John  are  there,  and  I  don't 
see  why  I  cannot  go." 

"They  use ^dTanguago  and  are  riiSe.  Be* 
sides,  it  is  cold.  I  don't  think  it  would  be 
pleasant  for  you  to-night.  I  think  you  will  be 
much  happier  if  you  stay  in  with  us." 

"Why,  mother,  if  they  use  bad  language  I 
will  come  away.  They  are  going  to  have  a 
fine  game,  and  I  wont  to  go  very  much. 

Thus  there  is  o  protracted  discussion  which 
probably  ends  in  the  victory  of  the  boy.  The 
mother  does  not  perceive  that  all  her  argu- 
ments are  entirely  nullified  by  the  boy's  strong 
desire  for  the  indulgence.  That  cempletely 
intoxicates  him.  It  is  perfectly  idle,  at  such  a 
time,  to  attempt  to  convince  him.  He  is  blind- 
ed completely  ;  and  the  only  proper  course  is 
to  soy  Bildly,  but  firmly,  "  No,  ray  child,  you 
must  not  go."  "  Why  not,  mother  ?  I  want 
to  go."  "  1  cannot  tell  you  why  not,  now.  I 
will  talk  with  you  about  it  another  time." 
Then  let  the  mother  wait  until  her  son  has 
spent  some  evening  happily  at  home,  ond  just 
before  he  retires  to  rest,  while  his  conscience 
is  iit  pence,  nnd  his  mind  predisposed  in  favor 
of  domestic  duty  nnd  happiness,  let  her  point 
out  to  him  the  reason  why  she  keeps  him  from 
the  circle  of  pollution  and  siu.

ous  indulgencies  always  he  decided  by  author 
ity  and  not  by  persuasion,  unless,  as  was 
mentioned  aliove,  you  leave  your  child  to 
decide  for  himself,  that  he  may  learn  from 
experience.  This,  however,  ought  to  be  done 
very  seldom,  nnd  with  great  caution  ;  or  else 
you  will  find  that  while  you  were  endeavoring 
to  disgust  him  with  the  evils  of  sin,  you  will 
hove  been  hardening  his  conscjieO«>«  against 
its  guilt.  ■'••"s,*   ^  .. 

Be  perfectly  honest  and  sincere  wVtlfyonr 
ohildren  at  all  times.  It  is  truly  surprising  to 
what  an  exteut  there  prevails,  even  in  better 
families,  parental  dishonesty.  How  many 
threats  which  were  never  really  meant  to  be 
executed  ;  how  many  promiees  never  designed 
to  be  filled!  There  are  some  subjects  upon 
which  parenU  seem  t«  feel  privileged  to  prac- 
tise every  art  of  deception  and  falsehood. 

LAW  OF  NEWSPAPERS. 

L  Subscribers  who  do  not  give  express  no- 
tice to  the  contrary  are  considered  as  wishing 
to  continue  their  subscription. 

2.  If  subscribers  order  their  paper  stopped 
publishers  may  continue  to  send  them  till  all 
charges  are  paid. 

8.  If  subscribers  neglect  or  refuse  ta  take 
their  papers  from  the  office  or  place  to  which 
they  ore  sent,  they  are  held  responsible  until 
they  settle  their  bill  and  give  notice  to  discon- 
tinue them. 

4.  If  subscribers  move  to  other  places  with- 
out informing  the  publisher,  and  the  paper  is 
sent  to  its  former  direction,  they  are  held  re- 
sponsible. Notice  shculd  always  be  given  of 
removal. 

The  Courts  have  decided  that  refusing  to 
take  a  paper  or  periodical  from  the  office,  or 
rerooviug  and  leaving  it  uncalled  for  is  prima 
facie  evi<lence  of  fraud. 

Postmasters  would  oblige  by  a  strict  fulfil- 
ment of  the  regulationsrequiring  them  to  notify 
publishers,  once  in  three  months,  of  papers 
not  taken  from  their  office  by  subscribers. 

Under  the  law  of  Congress  papers  are  not 
charged  postage  in  the  county  in  which  they 
are  published.

FROM.— Take  a  flice  of  fine  and  stale  loaf-bread, 
cut  very  thin— as  thin  as  toast  is  ever  cut— 
and  let  it  be  carefully  toasted  on  both  sides, 
until  it  be  completely  browned  all  over,  but 
nowise  blackened  or  burned  in  any  way.     Pat 
this  into  a  common  deep  stone  or  china  jug, 
and  pour  over  it,  from  the  tea  kettle,  as  much 
clean  boiling  water  as  yon  wish  to  make  into 
drink.     Much   depends   on  the  water   being 
actually  in   a  boiling  state.     Cover  the  jug 
with  a  saucer  or  plate,  and  let  the  drink  cool 
until  it  be  quite  cold  ;  it  is  then  fit  to  be  used. 
The  freeher  it  is  made  the  better,  and  of  course 
the  more  agreeable.     The  above  will  be  found 
a  pleasant,  light  and  highly  diuretic  drink.     It 
is  peculiarly  grateful  to  the  stomach,  and  ex- 
cellent for  carrying  off  the  effects  of  any  excess 
in  drinking.     It  is  also  a  most  excellent  drink 
at  meals,  and  may  be  used  in  the  snmmer-time, 
if  more  agreeable  to  the  drinker. ^

SCHOOL  REl'OBT. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  comanagers  of  our 
acbool -held m N'ovombcr  laat,  we  reported  that 
we  had  seventy  four  regular  attendants,  besides 


always  suppressed,  even  when  they  are  radical. 
The  result  of  these  peculiarities  is  that  the 
most  varied  combinations  may  be  made,  and 
that  the  true  sense  often  escapes  the  most 
practiced  Hebraist. 

Distinguished  French,  German  and  Amer- 
ican  scholam  hBrve  endeavored  To  tulerpTeT  tlie 
iuecMptiou  of  didon  ;  but  none  of  them   sue 


occasional  visitors   and   minors   whom  we  did  I  ceeded  in  discovering   a  complete,    rational, 
not  think  projjer  to  enter   among  theli-^tofl  coherent  meaning,  which  might  satisfy  the  law.s 


scholars.  That  the  income  of  these  from  their 
parents  was  843  and  some  odd  cents  a  month. 
'I'hat  the  amount  collected  from  parents  and 
subscribers  from  September  1855,  to  Novem. 
bcr  185C,  amounted  to  nearly  $500,  out  of  this 
sum  we  had  to  buy  furniture,  to  pay  rent,  bnd 
the  collector,  and  supply  the  children  with 
books. 

Subscribers  to  the  school  fund  arc  hereby 
notified  that,  under  present  circumstances,  we 
teach  the  children  only  on  Saturdays  and  Sun- 
days.

Our  Hebrew  School. 

The  number  of  scholars  at  our  school,  estab- 
lished July  1854,  has  considerably  decreased 
during  the  last  few  months,  from  the  following 
causes. 

1st.  The  publication  of  the  Gleaner  with  its 
attending  cares  and  anxieties,  (since  there  was 
no  department  at  which  we  had  not  to  take  an 
actual  active  part  ourselves,  if  we  did  not  want 
to  be  ruined  by  California  prices  and  the 
honesty  of  former  assistants),  prevented  us 
from  attending  to  the  school,  except  on  Satur- 
days and  Sundays. 

2d.  During  the  first  b\\  weeks  of  the  publi- 
cation of  the  Gleaner  wo  had  no  proper  locality 
to  recieve  the  childeen :  the  Portsmouth  House 
being  no  longer  at  command,  and  having  been 
occupied  night  and  day,  in  the  literal  sense  of 
these  words,  we  could   not  find  time  to  make 
application  to  the  Board  of  Education  to  vacate 
for  us  some   public  school  for  Saturdays  and 
Sundays,  so  that  we  had  to  recieve  the  children 
in  our  office,  which— thanks  be  to  God,  (for 
not  hciug  quite  ignorant  of  the  history  of  re- 
ligious experience  of  all  ages,)   we  well  know 
bow  to  account  for  the  past,  and,  in  gratitude 
to  our  Father  in  Heaven,  we  gladly  accept  the 
cup  which  all  our  true  prophets  bad  to  taste, 
in  full  hopes  of  sharing  also  their  crowns — we 
say  thanks  be  to  God,  our  school,  from  want 
of  noom  and  seats,  offered  a  spectacle  some 
thing  similar  to  the  Arab  school  given  in  the 
cut  of  the  Gleaner  No  9. 

3d.  We  had  no  time  to  invite  the  children 
of  the  poor  (and  of  such  our  school  consists 
for  the  greater  part)  whom  we  met  in  the  streets 
as  we  hfid  done  formerly,  to  attend  ;  nor  could 
we  find  time  for  visiting  their  houses. 

However,  since  two  months,  we  are  able  to        «  We  shall,  if  spared,  recur  to   this  inscrip> 
afford  better  accomodation ;  we  therefore  in-  (  tion  in  a  few  weeks. 


Phenician  Inscription  of  Sidon. 

The  learned  Orientalist,  Mr.  Munk,  of  I'aris, 
to  whom  we  owe  the  best  translation  and  ex- 
planation of  the  Morah  XaBuchim  of  Maimo- 
nidcs,  has,  in  tlie  April-May  number  of 
the  Jounuil  Amatnjue,  furnished  an  article 
under  the  head  :  Kssaij  on  the  Inscription  of 
the  yarcoplmgus  of  Estkmoun-'Escr,  king  of 
Sidon,  for  a  few  extracts  of  which  we  are 
indebted  to  jL'  Uiuvers  Israelite,  and  for  the 
translation,  to  the  Asmonean,  and  which  will 
be  read  with  interest  by  the  intelligent  bibli- 
cal student,  on  account  of  their  cariosity  ;  and 
the  general  reader  will  be  attracted  by  the 
contents. 

The  Sarcophagus  was  purchased  by  the 
Duke  of  Luynes,  and  presented  to  the  Musee 
du  Louvre  : 

Tbe  inscription  this  Sarcophagiis  bears  is 
the  first  that  has  been  fuund  on  i'henician 
ground,  and  equals  in  extent  that  which  has 
bcti)  discovered  at  Marseilles  in  1845,  and  has 
besides  the  advantage  of  being  complete  and 
in  perfect  conservation. 

These  two  inscriptions  show  us   the  true 
character  of  the  Phenician  language ;  for  until 
the  discovery  of  the  one  at  Marseilles,  upon 
which  Mr.  Munk  has  likewise  publishe<l  an 
article  (Journal  Asiatique,  November-Decem- 
ber, 1847,)*  there  only  existed  a  certain  number 
of  short  inscriptions  found  in   the   Phenician 
colonies,  and  which,  being  for   the  most  part, 
tombstones,  or  votive  tablets,  rarely  contained 
more  than  proper  names  and  some  short  in. 
scriptions,  which  could  not  always  be  explained 
with  certainty. 

The  inscription  of  Sidon  fully  confirms  the 
opinion  already  expressed  by  Mr.  Munk  with 
regard  to  the  Marseilles  inscription,  when  he 
snid  (J.  A.  I.e.,  p.  526)  : 

"  It  results,  from  all  we  have  said,  that  the 
Hebrew  and  the  Phenician  differed  very  little 
from  each  other  ;  the  two  languages  were  so 
similar  that  we  may  consider  them  as  one 
and  the  same  language.  If  there  be  Phe- 
nician words  that  we  cannot  explain  by 
means  of  the  Bible,  and  which  are  not  found 
in  the  different  Semitic  dialects,  it  does  not 
prove  that  those  words  have  not  existed  among 
the  Hebrews ;  for  it  is  well  known  that  the 
Hv'brcw  books  we  possess  are  far  from  contain- 
ing all  the  words  of  the  Hebrew  language." 

Mr.  Munk  supposes  (Ibid,  p.  473)  that  the 
Hebrew  Patriarchs,  being  Arameans  by  de- 
scent, adopted,  after  their  entry  into  the  country 
of  Canaan,  the  Canaancan  or  Phenician  lan- 
guage, preserving,  however,  some  relics  of  the 
Aramean  language. 

The  dilEcuItjr  presented  by  the  interpretation 
of  Phenician  inscriptions  is  that  the  letters 
follow  each  other  without  interruption,  and 
that  the  words  are  not  separated  from  each 
other  ;  besides,  the  quiescent  letters  are  almost 


of  language  or  those  of  logic.  No  two  of 
these  interpretations  resemble  each  other,  either 
in  their  result  or  in  any  of  their  parts  ;  they 
contain  the  most  incredible  suppositions  and 
conjectures. 

M.  le  due  de  Luynes'  work,  however,  posses- 
ses real  merits,  and  deserves  serious  attention. 
Mr.  Munk  gives    to    his   exp'anation   the 
modest  title  of  Essay.     It  offers,  however,  a 
complete,  reasonable,  probable  sense,  and  the 
similarity  between  his  Hebrew  translation  and 
the   Phenician  text,  shows  the  truth  of  the 
result  obtained  to  be  almost  certain.    '1  he  total 
loss  of  his  sight  has  rendered  it  impossible  for 
Mr.  Munk  to  examine  the  original  signs  him- 
self; but  from  having  the  different  copies  read 
to  him,  he  has  been  ab!e  to  form  an  exact  idea 
of  the  original.     He  has  given  in  his  article 
the   Phenician  text  of  the  inscription,  tran- 
scribed in   Hebrew   characters,  dividing  the 
words  according  to  the  meaning  he  has  thought 
proppr  to  adopt,  and  he  has  given  with  it  a 
translation  in  Biblical   Hebrew,  which  differs 
very  little,  from  the  Phenician  text,  such  as  h^ 
has  established  it. 

The   Umvers   here  gives   the   copy  of  the 
Phenician  text  and  the   Hebrew  translation  : 
I. 

"  In  the  month  of  boul  (1),  the  xiv.  year  of 
my  reign,  (of  me)  the  King  Eschmoun  'Ezer, 
Kiag  of  the  Sidonians,  son  of  King  Tabnith, 
King  of  the  Sidonians,  E-chmoun-Ezcr,  King 
of  the  Sidonians,  spoke,  saying  : 
II. 

"  I  have  been  carried  off  before  my  time, 
little  advanced  in  age,  when,  without  a  son,  I 
was  cut  off  by  death ;  and  I  am  laid  in  this 
coffin  and  in  this  tomb,  in  the  place  I  have 
built. 

HI. 

"  I  conjure  every  royal  race,  and  every  man 
oot  to  open  this  (funeral)  couch  ;  not  to  seek 
here  treasures  ;  not  to  take  away  from  me  the 
coffin  which  serves  as  my  couch,  and  that  they 
may  not  load  me  in  this  couch,  with  the  cham- 
ber of  a  second  couch. 

IV. 

"  Although  I  am  reduced  to  silence,  my  im- 
precations speak  to  thee  ;  listen  to  their  warn- 
ing.   For  any  royal  race  or  any  man  who  shall 
open  the  chamber   of  this  couch,  or  who  shall 
take  away  the  coffin  which  serves  me  as  a 
conch,  or  who  shall  load  me  in  that  couch,  may 
they   have  no   couch   with   the  rephaim  (the 
manes) ,  nor  be  buried  in  a  tomb,  nor  leave  son 
nor  posterity  in  their  place !    May  the  holy 
gods   deliver   them  up  to  the  domination  of  a 
powerful  king,  of  a  man  who  shall   tyrannise 
them  so  as  to  exterminate  them,  (to  wit) :  that 
royal  race  or  those  men  who  shall  open  the 
ohambcr  of  (his  couch,  or  who  shall  take  away 
this  coffin,  as  well  as  the  posterity  of  that  royal 
race,  or  of  those  men  of  the  people.     That  they 
may  neither  have  roots  below  or  fruit  above, 
nor  a  figure  among  the  living,  under  the  sun, 
as  I,  worthy  of  mercy,  who  have  been  taken  off 
before  my  time,  little  advanced  in  age,  when, 
without  having  a  son,  I  have  been  cut  off  by 
death  ! 

V. 

"  I,  I  am  Eschmoun-'Ezer,  King  of  the  Si- 
donians, grandson  of  Eschmoun-'Ezer,  Kin"-  of 
the  Sidonians  ;  and  my  mother  is  Aniaschtor- 
eth,  priestess  of  our  lady  Aschtoreth.  the 
Queen,  daughter  of  the  King  Eschmoun-'Ezer, 
King  of  the  Sidonians.  (It  is  we)  who  have 
built  the  temple  of  the  gods. . .  .at  Sidon,  on 
the  maritime  land  (2)  ;  and  the  Yeschouroun 
there  celebrate  Aschtoreth.    It  is  also  we  who 


have  bailt  on  tbe  mountain,  a  temple  to  Esch- 
moun ....  (3)  whose  hand  leans  upon  a  serpent, 
and  there  are  Semites  who  are  celebrating  biro. 
It  is  we,  in  fine,  who  have  buitt  temples  to  the 
gods  of  the  Sidonians,  at  Sidon,  on  the  mari- 
time ground  :  a  temple  to  the  Baal  of  Sidon, 
aWa  lempIiTio^tHe  Aschtoretb,  oT  flie  sky  of 
Baal.    May  the  masters  of  the  Kings  grant 
us  perpetuity,  and  the  beauty  of  the  hinds  with 
the  magnificent  corn  which  are  in  the  fields  of 
Sharon,  in  recompense  of  the  grand  things  that 
I  have  done  ;  and  may  they  increase  for  us  the 
fortifications  of  the  territory  to  consolidate  all 
the  Sidonians  forever  ! 

IV. 

"  T  conjure  every  royal  race  and  every  man 
not  to  open  my  chamber,  not  to  demolish  my 
chamber,  not  to  load  me  in  this  couch,  and  not 
to  take  away  the  coffin  which  serves  as  my 
couch,  in  order  that  the  holy  gods  may  not 
abandon  them,  and  may  not  exterminate  the 
royal  race,  and  the  men  of  the  people  as  well 
as  their  posterity  forever. 


(1)  bold  the  identical  Hebrew  name  for  the 
eighth  month — (1  Kings,  vi.  38)  ;  boul  means 
rain — rainy  month:  corresponding  with  our 
November,  which  was  one  of  the  months  dur" 
ing  which  the  yorth  (first  rain — Deut.  xiv.  14  ; 
Jer.  v.,  24  ;)  fell. 

The  root  boul  is  a  very  interesting  one ;  it  ia 
caomatopnetic  (reaembliog  the  aauad) ;  hcnca 
it  is  to  be  met  with  in  the  languages  of  the 
remotest  parts  of  Asia  and  Europe. 

The  Hebrew  bl  in  boul  is  cognate  with  ybl, 
to  flow  copiously  ;  hence  to]  rain,  to  produce* 
Sanscrit,  jDo/;  Greek  and  Latin,  j9/«o;  German, 
wallen,  welle,  wall,  q-uelle;  English  to  well, 
fl-ow  ;  French  and  English,  bouillir,  boil ; 
Latin  volvo.  Bl  is  also  cognate  with  bll, 
the  /  behind  is  the  reduplication  expressive  of 
the  continual  recurrence  of  tbe  action  expres- 
sed by  the  verb  ;  hence  Sanscrit  val^  to  rite  to 
elevate  itself;  from  this  comes  the  Latin  valeo, 
police,  pnllus;  German  and  English,  wall.  From 
these  significations  tbe  propriety  of  boul  for 
the  rainy  month,  ia  fully  apparent. 

Quite  out  of  the  way  is  tbe  etymology  given 
to  boul  by  tbe  Jerusalem  Talmud,  which  says, 
ya'tachboul,  sh^^bo  haolam  bolel,  v^ha-aretz 
asQ-uyah  boloth  ;  shebo  boUalin  labbahamah 
b^thoeh  habbayith. 

The  month  is  called  bonl,  because  on  it  the 
world  revolves,  (passes  from  the  Summer  into 
the  Winter  season,)  and  the  soil  turns  into 
boloth — (great  bolous,)  clods  ;  or  because  man 
mingles  (bolel)  food  for  cattle,  in  the  house,  on 
account  of  the  winter,  because  no  vegetation 
affords  them  food  in  the  fields. — [Ei>.  Glka.

Destructive  Fire. 

A  fire  originated  last  Monday  at  2  o'clock, 
two  doors  from  Adler,  or  Dupont  alley,  on 
Dupont  street,  between  Broadway  and  Pacific 
streets.  The  buildings  in  that  neighborhood, 
being  all  of  the  most  flimsy  and  combustible 
materials,  burned  with  fearful  rapidity. 

The  fire  engines  were  instantly  on  the  spot, 
aud  the  whole  department  went  to  work  with 
a  will  to  stay  the  progress  of  the  flames,  but 
the  fire  got  so  great  a  start,  on  account  of  the 
infiammable  material  of  tbe  neighborhood,  that 
it  threatened  to  result  in  greater  destruction 
of  property  than  actualy  was  the  case. 

In  about  fifteen  minuets  were  consumed 
psoperty  amounting  to  about  $15,000 ;  a  num- 
ber of  poor  Jewish  families  lived  in  the  alley ; 
six  were  burned  out,  losing  the  little  they  pos- 
sessed. 

The  managers  of  the  first  Hebrew  Benevo- 
lent Society  met  and  they  resolved  to  allow 
the  unfortunate  six  families  an  amount,  if  not 
adequate  to  the  demand  of  the  sufferers,  is  at  all 
events  the  utmost  the  society  could  do. 

The  Eureka  society  promised  to  contribute 
equally  as  much  as  the  former  would  give. 

And  we  are  glad  to  hear  that  the  Ladies' 
societies  are  willing  to  do  their  duty.

A  Miracle  at  Oran. 

We  extract  the  following  from  the  September 

Lmber  of  the  "  Archives  Israelites  de  France." 

f"  The  facts  of  the  tale  now  about  to  he  read, 

lere  communicated  to  us  some  time  since,  bnt 

uwCL  deemed  them  too  much  impressed  with 

^iental  marvel,  we  did  not  judge  ita;»iopo»  to 

onsfer  their  details   to  o^r  columns.    But 

hw,  it  is  one  of  our  own   contributors,  an 

[lightened  and   intelligent    gentleman,  long 

town  to  our  readers,  who  transcribes  tl.ese 

cts  for  u«.     Ho  has  been  on  the  s-pot, — has 

en,  and  has   heard.      The   motives   of  our 

^servc,  then,  can  exist  no  longer,  aud  we  see 

reason  why  we  should   still  exclude  the 

arration  of  an    occurrence  which    is  fully 

Iverred   to  by,  and  has  become  notoriously 

lublic  among,  the  whole  population  of  Oran. 

"  It  ia  said  our  century  is  not  one  of  miracles. 

livery  tliiiog  that  is  not  produced,  and  of  which 

he  supernatural  character  would  not  have  been 

lisputed  by  our  ancestors,  is  now  submitted  to 

Icieatific  investigation  ;  we  wish  to  have  every 

Ihing  understood  and  explained  ;  however  ex- 

Iraordinary  any  results  may  appear,  it  must 

lave  a  rational,  and  above  all,  a  perceptible 

bause.     This  is  the  demand,  and  generally  a 

legitimate  one,  of  modern  science.    But  apart 

from  this,  faith  is  ours  no  longer— the  spirit  of 

^oubt  and  exuminatiou  hovering  over  all  things- 

bas  destroyed  that  easy  credence  in  miracles, 

ncn  ily  tToCTr  WinUt  lUVBw  UUUE9tJiiug  tnrtttnj  nn 

ft  pursuaded  men  that  God  was  still  among 
■them,  and  made  thus  manifest  his  continutd 
linterference  in  the  affairs  of  mortals.  But  are 
Iwe  happier  that  we  are  thus  more  sceptical  ? 
|l  will  admit  that  prudent  doubts,  that  experi- 
Imcntal  study  have  aided  man's  progress  in  the 
Ipaths  of  science.  But  have  we  not  lost  in 
Ip  cty  what  we  have  gained  in  the  comprehen- 
Ision  of  natural  causes  ?  And  which  of  these 
I  two  is  more  necessary  for  happiness  ?  A 
■  solemn  problem,  but  solved  by  the  voice  of 
God,  the  day  when  man's  first  step  in  the 
thorny  maze  of  science  caused  at  once  his 
downfall,  and  the  unhappiness  of  the  whole 
1  human  race. 

Nevertheless,  there  arc  facts  baffling  even 
the  deepast  researches  of  science.  And  clothed 
in  our  pride,  must  we  still  believe  them  tbe 
offspring  of  nature  ?  Or  rather,  would  it  not 
be  more  worthy,  that  we  bid  our  cold  reason 
be  humbled  before  tbe  power  of  an  Almighty 
God,  and  in  silence  adore  his  mysterious  works. 
The  tale  I  am  about  to  relate,  evidently  be- 
longs to  the  latter  class  !  All  the  inhabitants 
of  Oran,  Jews,  Christians,  and  Mussulmans 
are  witnesses  to  it.  Science  has  Ibinly  at- 
tempted some  explanation  of  it ;  bit  the  voice 
of  public  feeling  has  not  hesitated  to  place  it 
among  those  miracles,  whereby  the  Eternal  at 
times  manifests  his  omnipotence  and  his  mercy. 
"  Tbe  circumstances  of  this  strange  event 
are  these  : — 

Galli  Reboul,  the  actor  therein,  had  led  a 
most  miserable  life  for  more  than  thirty  years  ; 
while  still  young  he  became  completely  crip- 
pled ;  his  legs  bore  the  appearance  of  two  bones 
utterly  divested  of  flesh,  and  hung  down  as  low 
a  pthe  ground.    His  eyes  deeply  sunken  in  their 
sockets,  were  always  filled  with  loathsome  hu- 
mours, gradually  destroying  his  sight :  he  drag- 
ged himself  along  the  streets,  either  suited,  or 
on  all  fours,  like  some  unearthly  animal,  his 
hands  being  provided  with  shoes,  to  perform  the 
duties  of  his  inanimate  legs.    This   hideous 
man,  nevertheless,  excited  the  greatest  com- 
passion.   Submitting  with  resignation  to  bis 
fearful  destiny,  his  piety  bade  him  silence  any 
murmurs  against  the  will  of  Providence.  Each 
(lay,  at  an  early  hour,  he  went  to  open  the 
doors  of  the  Synagogue,  and  Huddled  up  in  a 
corner,  he  there  devoted  the  greater  part  of 
the  day  to  prayer,  and  for  thirty  years,  not  one 
day  but  found  him  at  his  holy  accupation.     It 
is  well  known  that  after  France  had  conquered 
Algiers,  her  forces  were  directe<l  against  Oran, 
called  thither  by  Hassan,  Bey,  the  Governor 
of  the  province.    But  big  submission  being 


"Trr 


only  a  deceitful  one,  a  fresh  expedition  was 
preparing  against  him.  The  Jews,  it  appaars, 
had  not  disguised  their  sympathies  for  France ; 
for  which  Hassan  Bey  resolved  a  terrible  pun- 
ishment. One  night,  assembling  the  Divan,  it 
was  decided  that  on  the  morrow  all  the  Jews 
sLouHVe  slaughtered.  Al  the  s  vme  monreTit 
that  these  terrible  proposals  bad  been  deliber- 
ated, (ialli  Reboul  had  dragged  himself  under 
the  walls  of  Chateau-Neuf,  an  extensive  fortress 
built  by  the  Spanish,  of  which  the  Bey  had 
made  his  palace.  Lying  on  the  rock,  he 
indulged  in  all  the  beauties  of  a  n»ght  illumin- 
ated by  a  brilliant  moon,  and  with  Ihe  view  of 
the  sea,  extending  far  on  either  side  in  front  of 
the  town.  He  thus  forgot  his  sufferings  in  the 
contemplation  of  tbe  calm  repose  of  nature. 
Midnight  struck.  Suddenly,  and  without  the 
noise  of  any  door  opening,  he  saw  an  unknown 
man  leave  the  castle.  His  head  was  bound  in 
the  numerous  folds  of  a  white  turban,  his  body 
wrapped  in  a  green  robe  ;  and  his  venerable 
countenance,  and  grey  beard,  and  dazzlmg 
glance,  seemed  to  endow  him  with  a  supernat 
ural  appearance. 

"  Approaching  Galli  Reboul,  hesalut^'d  him 
with — •  God  preserves  Israel ;'  at  the  same 
time,  placing  his  finger  on  his  lips,  and  before 
Galli  thought  of  replying,  the  stranger  had 
disappi  arcd  without  leaving  any  traces  of  his 
visit.  Who  is  this  unknown  messenger?  and 
what  Mi«»»  tbese  mystcrioa*  worda?  Early 
the  next  morning  Hassan  Bey,  mounted  on  a 
noble  horse,  left  his  palace,  to  see  his  sanguin- 
ary projects  carried  into  execution.  The  same 
man  seen  by  Galli  Reboul  the  evening  before, 
and  wearing  the  same  dress,  seized  the  bridal 
of  the  impatient  courser. 

" '  Move  not  one  step  further,  Hassan !'  cried 
he  to  the  stnpified  Bey,  '  not  one  step,  or  thou 
art  a  dead  man  !  God  has  sent  me  to  thee !  A 
curse  be  on  thee  if  thou  accomplish  thy  crim- 
inal designs  against  the  Jews!  Thou  shalt 
perish  ;  thou  and  all  belonging  to  tUee !  The 
ravens  shall  devour  thy  circass,  and  thy 
remains,  deprived  of  sepulture,  shall  become 
the  sport  of  the  winds  !' 

'•  These  words,  and  the  inspired  look  of  him 
who  uttered  them,  struck  Hassan  and  his  suit. 
He  returned  to  the  palace,  revoked  his  barbar- 
ous orders,  and  the  Jews  were  saved  !  They 
inquired  the  name  of  their  liberator  ;  they 
wished  to  bestow  some  splendid  proof  of  their 
gratitude  I  Some  slight  causes  led  them  to 
suppose  an  old  Marabout,  much  respected  in 
the  Province,  as  tbe  author  of  their  safety  : 
they  waited  on  him  with  tbe  greatest  pomp  ! 
The  old  Mussulman,  however,  had  not  been  in 
Oran  for  a  long  time,  and  denied  the  honor  of 
this  generous  action.  No  traces  could  be  dis- 
covered of  him  who  bad  braved  Hassan's  wrath 
and  turned  his  heart  to  repentance. 

"  These  incidents  happened  on  the  anniver- 
sary of  the  day  when  Galli  Reboul  had  lost  the 
use  of  his  limbs.  Twelve  years  after,  on  the 
self-same  day,  Galli,  as  usual,  was  praying  in 
the  Synagogue. 

"  The  fatigue  and  heat  completely  overcame 
him,  and  he  slumbered.  A  prey  to  some  sin- 
gular emotion,  be  awoke  with  a  start ;  the 
temple  was  deserted.  But  at  his  side  suddenly 
appeared  the  same  mysterious  messenger  he 
had  seen  beneath  the  walls  of  Chateau-Neuf 
Reboul  thought  that  he  dreamt. 

" '  Fear  nothing,'  said  the  stranger,  '  put  thy 
faith  in  God.' 

" '  But  who  art  thou  ?'  asked  Reboul,  anxious- 
ly. '  I  am  Rabbi  Baruch,'  replied  his  visitor  ; 
at  these  words  disappearing,  without  leaving 
any  more  tokens  of  his  presence  than  he  had 
before.    '^ 

Some  Israelites  were  then  entering  the  Syn- 
agogue, for  it  was  the  hour  of  (afternoon)  ser- 
vice. 'Did  you  see  any  one  go  out 'asked 
Reboul.    '  No  one,'  replied  they. 

"  Galli  Reboul  attributed  this  apparition  to 
the  illusions  of  his  dream,  and  at  the  usual 
hour  returned  home,  not,  however,  without 
relating  his  strange  vision. 


"  At  midnight  his  family  heard  him  uttering 
loud  cries.  '  Come  here,'  cried  Reboul,  •  here 
is  Rabbi  Baruch.  I  feel  I  am  being  carried 
away.  Help !  help  !'  They  ran  in,  and  a 
number  of  the  neighbors  followed  to  his  room. 
Was  it  some  superstitious  il  lusion  ?  All  affirm' 
£JCi  IDC  Tourn  Bccmrn  niiuu  wi^u  eMj.».i  «•..... 
fire.  They  approached  Reboul.  Extraordinary 
fact !  He  stood  upright,  his  legs,  covered  with 
flfPh,  supported  his  body  ;  his  face  had  resumed 
the  appearance  of  health  ;  and  his  eyes,  freed 
from  their  impatC'  matter,  shone  with  remark- 
able brilliancy.  It  was  a  species  of  resurrection. 
Reboul  blessed  the  Almiglity,  and  pressed  in 
his  arms  his  family  and  astonished  friends. 
The  streets  were  illuminated  with  a  thousand 
torches.  All  came  to  judge  for  themselves— 
they  had  seen  him  the  same  evening,  painfully 
dragging  bis  denuded  legs,  and  now  his  flesh 
was  as  firm  and  rosy  as  that  of  a  new-born 
child. 

"  However,  many  unbelievers  wished  to  ex- 
amine him  before  they  gave  credence  to  it. 
Doctors  were  called  in,  and  science  started 
many  hypotheses.  All  Oran,  Catholics,  Mus- 
t^ulmans,  and  Jews,  knew  Galli.  The  most 
renowned  doctors  hesitated  not  to  declare  that 
no  natural  cause  could  explain  this  strange 
event. 

"  It  must  then  have  been  a  miracle ! 
"  Men  of  all  persuasions  have  accepted  this 
belief.  Mussulmans  and  Christians  have  sent 
presents  as  offerings  to  a  man  so  smgutarty 
favored  by  God,  and  come  to  solicit  his  blessing. 
From  that  day  his  position  in  life  has  been 
improved.  From  all  parts  of  Algiers  he  is 
sent  for  to  sanctify,  by  his  presence,  a  house, 
the  birth  of  a  child,  or  a  marriage,  in  short 
Reboul  is  venerated  as  a  saint.  The  writer  of 
this  has  himself  seen  Galli  Reboul  :  his  health 
is  good,  and  his  prosperity  increases  every  day. 
Only  a  few  years  have  elapsed  since  this  won- 
derful affair  happened  :  the  witnesses  are  still 
alive  to  affirm  to  it,  and  it  is  not  a  few  individ- 
uals, but  all  the  inhabitants  of  the  town,  who 
can  attest  this  fact. 

"  What  can  be  said  against  this  public  tes- 
timony ?  How  can  we  doubt  when  so  many 
have  been  eye-witnesses  ? 

"  Is  it  not  better  to  believe  that  God  has 
impenetrable  mysteries;  that  the  Eternal 
watches  over  individuals  as  well  as  over  the 
whole  human  race  ;  and  that  we  must  worshir' 
him  wherever  he  manifests  his  presence?  fs 
not  this  the  noblest  philosophy  ?  J-  c. 


Power  of  Imagination. 

As  the  greater  portion  of  human  suffeririga 
originate  either  in  a  perverted  state  of  our  in- 
dividual moral  faculties,  or  in  that  of  society  ; 
as  our  depraved  moral  taste  makes  us  sacrifice 
our  ease  and  comforts   (so  easily  afforded  by 
tha  bounteous  hand  of  nature)  to  our  unnatural 
cravings  after  artificial  wants  and  superfluous 
enjoyment,— so  have  a  great  portion  of  our 
physical  evils  their  seat  less  in  a  deranged  state 
of  body  than  in   our  perverted  imagination  : 
Imagine  yourself  ill,  and   you  will  soon   fall  a 
victim  to  your  whim  ;  many  a  healthy  consti- 
tution, by  affecting  a  fashionable  delicacy,  will 
adduce  such  a  state  in  reality,  and  succumb  ; 
while   many  an   actual  sufferer,  by  a  strong 
resolution  to  resist  the  progress  of  the  ill,  by 
resolving  to  distrust  his  imagination  and  believ- 
ing himself  less  a  sufferer  than  he  actually  is, 
dispels   insipient   and   even  inherent  disease, 
and  overcomes.    We  rarely  find  the  proper 
scale  for  either  our  physical  or  moral  evils  ;  we 
generally  either  overrate  or  underrate  both  : 
we  never  are  so  happy  nor  as  miserable,  so 
well  or  so  sick  as  we  imagine. 
'     A  man  called  on  a  physician  for  medical  ad- 
vice, complaining  that  all  the  medicines  he  ha«l 
taken  for  sometime  previous,  had  the  effect  of 
an  aperient.     He  seemed  to  think  he  had  been 
imposed  upon  by  the  doctors,  and   begged  to 
know  if  he  could  not  give  him  something  that 
would  benefit  him  without  producing  thh  effect. 
The  doctor  assured  him  that  he  had  no  doubt 
at  all,  that  he  could  gratify  him  in  this  respect. 


Accordingly,  be  retired  to  another  room,  an 
prepared  a  few  pills,  entirely  of  wheat  brtatl, 
and  handed  them  to  the  patient,  with  suitable 
directions.  In  the  course  of  a  few  days,  the 
doctor  fell  in  with  the  patient,  and  received 
from  him  a  severe  reprimand.  ' '  Why,  doctor," 
aaid  he.  '  those  jr))//s  you  gave  me  physicked 
me  almost  to  death.  I  never  took  any  thing 
before  so  powerful !"  I'erhaps  the  doctor  made 
a  mistake  in  giving  the  patient  pills  of  any 
kind.  Had  the  same  substance  been  given  in 
the  form  of  powders,  propably  it  would  have 
produced  no  effect  at  all. 

A  scientific  gentleman,  of  New  York,  gave 
to  his  little  daughter,  who  was  indisposed,  for 
an  aperient,  a  little  pure  water,  slightly  colored 
with  wine  ;  she  thought  it  was  tincture  of  rhu- 
barb, and  it  affected  her  accordingly. 

Dr.  James  Gregory  ordered  an  opiate  to  a 
young  man,  to  relieve  sleepless  nights,  under 
which  ho  had  suffered  in  convalescence  from 
fever.  He  informe*'  tbe  patient  that  he  had 
prescribed  an  tt»io.//.-ic,  to  be  taken  at  bedtime ; 
but  the  invalid  b  ng  somewhat  deaf,  nnder- 
dersto'td  him  to  su  v  .in  aperient.  Next  morning, 
on  the  doctor's  inij  liring  whether  he  had  slept 
after  the  anodyne,  he  replied  "Anodyne  !  I 
thought  it  was  an  aperient,  and  it  has  indeed 
openiled  briskly.' 

A  female  lunutic  was  admitted  into  the 
county  BBylum,  at  Hanwell,  England,  under  Sir 
William  ElKs.  She  imagined  that  she  was 
luliurinu  UMUei ' a  complaint  thttt  Hstf ttir*<l  wo 
ute  of  mercury  ;  but  Sir  William,  finding  the 
idea  of  that  disease  was  an  insane  delusion,  yet 
considering  that  flattering  the  opinion  of  the 
luiiiitic  to  a  certain  degree,  would  be  favorable 
to  the  recovery  of  her  reason,  ordered  bread 
pUh  for  her,  and  called  them  mercurial  pills. 
A  fler  a  few  days  she  was  actually  salivated, 
and  iljc  pills  were  discontinued.  On  again 
ord<Ti!ig  ili.-n  after  the  salivation  had  subsibed, 
slie  va»  a  second  ^e  affected  in  the  same 
mai :'irr  and  this  again  happened  on  the  re- 
carri  ice  to  ihe  use  of  the  pills  a  third  time. 

A  physi-nttn  states,  that  a  lady  under  his 
care  ttssuifl  him  that  opium,  in  any  form, 
always  cm  jd  headache,  and  restlessness,  and 
vomiting  on  the  following  morning  ;  and  on 
prescribing  laudanum  for  her,  under  its  usual 
namtr  "  tinctura  opii,"  he  found  that  her  ac- 
count ol  its  effects  was  correct  ;  but  on  pre- 
icribiiig  it  under  the  term  "  tinctura  thebaica," 
,\c\\  dif  did  not  understand,  (she  read  every 
preacriiiiion,)  it  produced  its  usual  salutary 
I  tti'Ct.  .i.i'l  was  continued  for  some  time  without 
inducing  the  smallest  inordinate  action. 


The  Inquisition  of  Perrara. 
The  world  was  some  time  ago  startled  by  the 
publication  of  a  document  emanating  from  the 
Roman  State  proving  that  the  Inquisition, 
which  every  body  thought  dead  and  buried, 
had  been  revived  under  the  paternal  sway  of 
Pio  Nino.  W«  now  translate  from  the  "  Arch>. 
ives  Israelites"  a  document,  the  authenticity  of 
which  is  guaranteed    by  the  editor  ;  it  otiject 

will  be  clear  from  the  contents : 

"  iNyii.siTioj*  or  FsssASi. 
"  Permission  is   hereby  grouted;  to  the  Ues 

brew ,  a  native   of  Ferrari,  to  absent 

himself  from  the  Jewry  for  the  space  of  one 
month,  iu  order  to  repair  to  Bologna  for  com-- 
merciol  purposes.  Under  the  express  coodi-* 
tion,  however,  that  his  conduct  should  be  free 
from  every  offence,  either  against  our  holy  re- 
ligion or  good  oustoRiB.  durins  his  absence 
from  the  .lewry,  and  that  on  hie  return  he 
should  give  buck,  at  hi*  earliest  convenience, 
this  document  to  the  inauisition.  Nor  can  he 
abseut  himself  again  withouta  new  permission 
in  writing,  dccUring  that  the  license  shall  be 
invalid  if  the  beorer,  immediately  on  arriving 
at  his  place  of  destination,  does  not  present  it 
to  the  bishop,  inquisitor,  or  their  local  vicar, 
and  ha3  not  affixed  their  signature.  The 
licence  also  becomes  null  and  void  if  these,  for 
just  reasons,  should  be  of  opinion  that  it  ought 
not  to  be  attended  to,  or  should  limit  its  anr» 
otion,  ai,  on  the  other  band,  tbey  may.  for  jua| 
reasons,  prolong  the  license  for  a  fix^  period,

Thoughts.  ^ 

Only  let  ibis  sentence  be  fa^'tjd  in 
your  memory,  as  a  nail  is  fastened  in  a 
sure  place,  "  God  can  see  me  every 
where  ;"  and,  dear  little  reader,  it  will  be 
of  the  greatest  service  to  you.  It  will  t)e 
like  a  guardian  augel  to  keep  you  from 
sin.  God  can  see  me  at  home  aud  abroad 
— by  night  and  by  day.  ne  can  see  mc 
not  as  men  see  mc,  merely  looking  at  my 
face,  but  he  can  see-  my  heart  and  my 
thoughts. 

When  the  Rev.  Thomas  Scott,  who 
wrote  the  Commentary  on  the  lUble,  was 
a  little  boy,  he  happened  one  day  to  set 
this  hymH,  and  he  Was  so  much  affected 
by  it,  that  he  tommitted  it  to  memory, 
and  freijttently  rei)eated  it  ;  and  so  was 
constantly  led  to  reflect  on  his  guilt  as  a 
sinner,  aud  the  danger  of  indulging  in 
sin.  How  many  things  have  we  dow, 
and  how  many  have  we  thought,  which 
wc  should  be  ashamed  for  any  one  but 
ourselves  to  know  I  Then  should  we  not 
bo  ashamed  that  God  knows  them  ?  And 
if  God  knows  tliem,  they  must  be  all  diB- 
pleasiug  and  hateful  to  )Hm.  What  then 
should  we  do  'i  Wc  should  repent  of 
them,  and  let  God  sec  that  our  Mearts 
are  full  of  sorrow  on  account  of  them. 
We  should  pray  earnestly  to  God  to 
fiardom  them,  aqd  flee,  in  our  miuds  by 
faith,  to  Hfm";  anil  we  should  carefully 
watch' nur  thoughts  aud  \\'^^  that  we 
may  guard  against  all  occasions  of  dis- 
pleasing God  by  our  future  sjus. 


Th«n  violence;  f'lr  this  was  all  thy  care,  '    , 

To  Htaiid  apiirovcil  in  sight  of  Goil.''  MllTOK. 

Egyit  is  a  country  often  named  in  the 
Bible.  It  is  a  very  long  valley,  tlirough 
which  rims  a  famous  river,  called  the 
Nile.  During  a  purt  of  the  year  the 
country  is  dry,  like  a  desert  ;  but  in  the 
month  of  July  tlie  water.s  in  the  river  rise 
and  spread  over  the  hind,  which  then 
looks  like  a  red,  mutldy  sea.  When  tlic 
waters  again  withdraw,  the  ground  is 
very  fruitful,  and  large  fields  of  wheat 
are  soon  seen  growing  on  every  side. 
The  people  of  this  land  are  of  a  dark 
brown  color,  aud  they  were  formerly 
known  for  their  wisdom  and  skill.  The 
kings  of  this  laud  were  called  Pharaoh. 
In  the  days  when  the  people  of  Israel 
lived  in  this  land,  there  was  a  king  of 
tliis  name  who  was  severe  aud  cruel  in 
his  conduct  toward  them,  who  treated 
them  as  slaves,  and  set  them  to  make 
bricks.  He  hoped  in  this  way  to  destroy 
the  people  ;  but  the  more  he  oppressed 
them,  the  more  they  grew  in  number  ; 
God  was  with  them. 

The  king,  finding  that  this  plan  did 
not  smnjtscd,  ordervd  fch&  aurbeei  wtto  took 
care  of  the  infants  to  kill  all  the  little 
boys  as  soon  as  they  were  born.  At 
this  time  there  lived  a  pious  man  and 
wife  ;  they  had  a  young  daughter,  named 
Miriam,  or  Mary  ;  and  also  a  son,  Aaron, 
about  three  years  old.  When  another 
child  was  given  to  them  by  God,  it  was  a 
very  lovely  boy.  As  they  looked  upon 
him,  theirhcartsfeltall  the  joy  of  parents. 
But  must  it  be  that  their  dear  child 
should  be  taken  from  them,  and  killed  as 
the  king  had  ordered  ?  For  some  time 
they  tried  to  conceal  him  in  their  house  ; 
but  when  a  few  mouths  passed  away  they 
co^ld  not  but  fear  that  his  cries  or  cheer- 
ful voice  would  be  beared.  And  how 
could  they  bear  the  thought  to  see  him 
torn  from  ti»eir  arms,  and  killed  as  other 
infants  had  been  ! 

What  could  they  do  in  their  distress  ? 
Was  there  any  help  for  them  ?  Yes  ; 
there  was  help  for  them  in  God.  He 
could  take  care  of  their  child  ;  and  to 
him  they  resolved  to  trust  their  dear  babe. 
Their  plan  w»6  soon  formed,  and  they  pre- 
pared to  carry  it  out,  and  you  will  be  as- 
Hfcished  if  I  tell  you  how.  On  the  ])anks 
of  the  river  Nile  there  grew  a  plant  called 
the  papyrus,  from  which  a  kiud  of  paper 
was  made.  The  parents  got  some  of  this 
plant,  aud  made  of  it  a  little  ark,  or  boat, 
just  large  enough  to  their  babe.  May  we 
not  suppose  as  they  plaited  this  cradle- 
boat,  .they  often  lifted  up  then:  hearts  in 
prayer  to  God.  Aud  how  many  tears 
must  have  fallen  from  their  eyes  as  they 
looked  upon  their  baby-boy,  and  thought 
thftt  the  time  was  come  when  they  must 
leave  him,  and  perhaps  see  him  no  more! 
But  we  are  told  by  the  Bible  that  they 
had/ai/A;  they  believed  that  God,  who 
had  put  it  into  their  hearts  to  make  the 
ark,  would  use  it  to  save  their  child. 
They  did  not  know  in  what  way  he  would 
be  saved, but  they  w«re  sure  God  would 
tk>  it  in  some  way. 

The  ark  was  at  last  made,  and  covered 
with  a  kind  of  pitch,  so  as  to  keep  out 
the  water-  When  the  babe  was  laid  in 
his  strange  cradle.  Low  the  whole  family 
must  have  stood  around  ;  and,  before 
the  ark  was  taken  away,  what  sweet 
loving  kisses  must  Miriam  his  little  sister 
and  his  brother  Aaron  have  giveu  to 
their  dear  brother  !  Aud  no  doubt  that 
the  father  aiwi  mother  wept,  and  cried  to 
God  that  he  would  keep  their  dear  babe 
•live.  The  mother  took  it  to  the  great 
river,  aud,  with  her  kiss,  her  blessing, 
and  her  prayers,  she  laid  the  child  among 
the  flags,*  or  tall  reeds,  "  by  the  river's 
brink."  In  this  river  are  niauy  reptiles 
called  crocodiles,  large,  strong  and  fierce. 


Their  bodies  are  covered  with  a  hard  and 
scaly  coating,  and  their  mouths  are  filled 
with  teeth  ;  and  the  people  of  the  land 
were  much  afraid  of  these  creatures.  But 
the  babe  slept  in  his  little  ark,  and  knew 
notbinii;  of  danger.     There,    safely  umler 


the  eye  bf  Go37^e  rested  ;~Tio  fierce 
creature  of  the  land  or  of  the  water  could 
come  nigh  to  hurt  it. 

When  the  mother  had  gone  away,  the 
sister  Miriam  stood  near  the  spot,  and 
watcliod  to  see  what  would  happen  to 
the  cAild.  .Slie  may  have  been  placed 
there  by  her  mother,  or  her  own  love  may 
have  led  her  to  follow,  that  she  might 
know  what  became  of  her  infant  l)rother ' 
whom  she  had  so  often  nursed.  Perlmps 
the  metber,  also,  was  not  far  off,  at  a 
place  they  had  fixed  on. 

After  a  short  time,  a  princess  and  her 
maids  were  seen  coming  to  the  spot. 
The  will  of  God  made  them  pass,  though 
they  did  not  know  it.  This  lady  was  the 
daughter  of  the  king  of  the  country,  of 
that  very  king  who  wanted  all  the  chil- 
dren of  the  Hebrews  to  perish.  As  she 
passed  down  the  river's  side,  she  saw  the 
little  ark,  peeping  out  from  among  the 
flags.  They  could  not  imagine  what  it 
was  ;  and  she  very  much  wanted  to  know. 
She,  therefore  sent  one  of  her  maids  to 
bring  it  to  her.  She  did  so,  and  when 
they  had  takeu  off  the  cover,  what  should 
they  see?  Think,  they  found  a  lovely 
boy  !  The  child  began  to  cry,  perhaps 
the  poor  child  felt  cold  from  the  damp 
ground  ;  perhaps  it  was  because  he  was 
hungry  ;  pirhaps  the  dear  little  infant 
cried  at  seeing  so  many  strange  faces. 
Poor  dear  child  !  he  was  used  to  see  his 
mother,  his  little  sister  and  brother,  and 
now  he  saw  nothing  but  strange  faces  and 
he  cried  ;  and  good  it  was  that  he  did  so. 
I  fully  believe  that  a  good  God  directed 
all  this  that,  by  crying  the  ladies,  who  al- 
ways feel  more  for  those  who  suffer  than 
men  do,  they  might  feel  pity  and  take 
care  of  the  infant,  and  so  they  did.  God 
touched  the  heart  of  the  princess  with 
tender  feelings,  and  the  helpless  state  and 
tears  of  the  babe  excited  her  pity.  She 
knew  it  was  one  of  the  infauts  of  the  He- 
brews, or  Jews,  and  that  it  had  been 
placed  there  to  avoid  its  being  killed  by 
her  father's  order. 

How  Miriam's  hhart  must  have  beat  with 
hope  and  fear,  us  the  princess  looked  upon  her 
little  brother !  She  did  not  know  what  the 
Lady  would  do  with  him.  But  she  soon  felt 
relieved,  when  she  saw  the  ladies  look  friendly 
at  the  babe,  perhaps  she  saw  them  kiss  it ; 
you  well  know  that  kind  people  are  fond  of 
babies,  and  they  will  kias  and  love  them,  even 
if  they  do  not  know  whose  they  are — they 
know  all  babies  are  God's  and  he  wants  us  to 
love  them  and  take  care  of  them.  Now  Mi- 
riam, when  she  saw  how  the  ladies  behaved  to 
the  child,  she  took  courage,  and  slowly  came 
from  her  hiding-place,  to  learn  what  would  be 
done  with  him.  As  the  princess  spoke  so 
kindly  about  the  child,  Miriam  drew  closer  to 
tbe  spot,  and  meekly  said  :  "  Pray  shall  I  go 
and  call  thee  a  nurse  of  the  Hebrew  women, 
that  she  may  nurse  the  child  for  thee  ?"  The 
princess  said.  Go! 

Whom  did  she  call  ?  The  child's  mother. 
When  she  had  come,  the  princess  said  to  her. 
Take  this  child,  and  nurse  it  for  me,  and  I 
will  give  you  wages. 

flow  glad  the  mother  was  to  take  care  of  it! 
She  saw  that  God  had  heard  her  prayers,  and 
saved  her  child  from  being  drowned. 

The  mother  could  teach  him  about  God  as 
soon  as  he  could  understand.  But  she  was  not 
allowed  to  keep  him  always.  When  he  was  a 
big  child,  the  princess  sent  for  him  to  come 
and  live  with  her,  and  she  called  him  her  sou. 
She  gave  him  a  name.  I  shall  call  him  Moses, 
said  she — which  means,  "  drawn  out,"  for  he 
was  drawn  out  of  the  water. 

The  princess  lived  in  a  fine  house,  and  had 
a  great  many  servants.  Moses  had  beautiful 
cloths,  nice  things  to  eat,  and  servants  to  wait 
upon  him.  He  tiad  no  hard  work  to  do  ;  yet 
he  was  not  idle,  but  learned  a  great  many 
things.  The  princess  told  wise  men  to  teacn 
him.  » 

He  knew  the  names  of  the  stafs  ;  the  names 
af  the  beasts,  birds,  and  j)lunts.  He  learned 
about  all  these  thin^p,  and  grew  very  wise. 
One  thing  these  wise  men  could  not  teach 
him — even  about  God ;  fur  they  worshipped 
idols.     Yet  Moses  did  know  about  God,  for 


his  father  and  mother  knew  the  true  CWd  and 
God  so  arranged  it,  that  when  he  was  ft  ciiild 
he  lived  with  his  father  and  motbef  who  did 
teach  him  about  God  and  his  gonJoeas.    1 
hope  your  father  aud   mother  do  teach  yoa 
ttbout  God,  about  your  soul,  and  about  heavea 
of  all  these  things    Moses  knew^ond  sue!;  I 
"knowledge  Is  "Belur  than  much  silver  and  {toiu 
and  riches.     For  if  you  are  good  and  love  God 
you  will  know  to  be  8atistie*with  a  little,  auj 
you  will  fe-1  happier  than  those  whom  comffioi 
pi  op!e  call  rich.    Moses   was  wise  and  gooil 
when  he  was  grown  to  be  a  man,  he  thougli; 
it  much  better   to  do  ^ood  than  to  be  dresnil 
in  fine  elothing  and  live  in  a  largo   house  aLii 
have  many  servants  to  wait  on- him.    Yes  my! 
diar  chihl,  he  was  good,  and  he  knew   tb*. 
good  men  have  to  serve  others   and   that  thi-j 
cannot  expect  to  be  served   by  others;  th: 
world  has  enough  to  do  for  those  who  y/eat 
them,  leaving  those  who  serve  them  to  shift  I 
for  themselves.     But  Moses  did  not  care  aboii: 
that,  he  knew  what  was  the  duty  of  a  servuiitl 
of  God:  so  when  he  was  "come  to  years,"  IkI 
gave  up  all  the  riches  and   pleasures  of  the 
court  of  Egypt,  that  he  might  share  the  sor- 
rows of  the  children  of  Israel.     He  tried  to  do  I 
them  good;  but  they  treated  him  unkindly  so 
that  he  had  to  leave  them  altogether  for  manj 
years,  till  at  last  God  chose  him  to  make  tL. 
children  of  Israel  free,  which  he  did.    TLoy 
left  the  land  of  Egypt  altogether  and  wem 
with  Meses  towards  the  Land  of  Oannaan  ;  of 
all  these  things  I  may  tell  you  some  other  time 
and  you  may  read  it  in  tbe  Bible. 

Moses  lived  to  be  one  hundred  and  twenty 
years  old.  His  life  was  useful  and  honorable. 
ills  history,  as  given  in  the  Bible,  contains 
mneh  to  inatniet  all  who  read  it.  From  the| 
account  of  his  childhood  we  learn  this  lesson : 
God  can  raise  up  friends  for  little  children  in 
times  of  danger  and  distress.  He  is  the  great 
and  gracious  Father  of  all.  If  he  takes  care 
of  all  things  that  have  life,  will  he  not  take 
more  care  of  you  whom  he  has  made  to  live 
forever  ?  The  young  can  know,  trust,  and 
love  God.  They  can  praise  him  as  the  angels 
do  in  heaven,  they  may  dwell  with  him  for- ' 
ever.  Will  not  God,  then,  watch  over  the 
young  who  love  him  ?  And  if  he  is  so  good 
to  them,  should  they  not,  with  Moses,  choose 
his  service,  and  live  to  his  glory  ? 

Come,  serve  the  Lord  betimea,  and  choose 

T.ie  paths  of  peace  aad  truth  ; 
This  earth  aflbrds  no  lovelier  sight 

Thao  a  relipous  youth.

Syracuse,  N.  Y. — It  afforda  ua  pleasure  to 
see  that  the  first  efforts  of  our  friends  in  Sy- 
racuse, in  the  State  of  New  York,  are  directed 
not  to  buildings  and  burials,  not  to  the  dead 
but  to  the  living.  The  short  stay  of  the  Bev. 
Dr.  Illowy  at  Syracuse,  supported  by  an  able 
and  willing  board,  and  assisted  by  capable  and 
energetic  teachers,  has  already  commenced 
bearing  excellent  fruit.  The  last  examination 
of  the  children,  on  the  8th  of  March  a.  c,  in 
their  English,  Qerman  and  Hebrew  studies, 
proved  satisfactory  beyond  all  expectation  to 
all  present. 

The  exercises  were  opened  by  a  fervent 
prayer,  beautifully  and  solemnly  delivered  by 
H.  Erstein,  a  yoath  of  13  years,  in  which  all 
the  pnpils,  standing,  solemnly  joined. 

Tbe  school  is  conducted  under  the  manage- 
ment of  the  following  gentlemen  : 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Illowy,  Superintendent  ;  T. 
Blamenthal  and  Simon  Strauss,  the  two  emi- 
nent Teachers  ;  and  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
consisting  of  Messrs.  T.  Stone,  L.  Hirshman 
S.  Loeventbal,  M.  Bronuer,  Sr.,  Jos.  Schwarz, 
L.  Newzeit  and  Dr.  Eisner. 

The  thanks  of  all  the  parents  and  of  the 
whole  commanity  are  due  to  the  Rev.  Dr.  Bern* 
hardt  Illowy,  and  to  Messrs.  Joseph  Blamen- 
thal and  Simon  Straoss,  for  the  immense  labor 


they  have  performed  in  the  cause  of  education 
within  the  past  four  months.  Also  to  the  re- 
spective members  of  the  Board  of  Education, 
especially  to  T.  Stone,  Esq.,  who  has  struggled 
manfully,  until"  this  school  has  become  estab- 
lished. 

The  pnpils  were  all  rewarded  according  to 
their  merits.  The  proceedings  were  closed 
with  a  prayer  by  Adolphus  Max,  a  promising 

youth  of  12  years.

Unique  Law  Suit. 

A  lawsuit  unique  in  itskind.was  commenced 
February  last  at  Strassburg.  A  man  of  the 
name  Baquol  died,  confessing  shortly  before 
his  death  that  he  was  baptised  ;  while  his  chil- 
dren and  his  wife  (lately  deceased)  were  not 
baptised  The  managers  of  the  Protestant 
Hospital  baptised  the  orphans  shorty  after  the 
death  of  their  father.  Mr.  Honel,  the  attorny, 
pleaded  tbe  cause  of  the  children,  declared  the 
baptism  void  and  raised  a  collection  to  have 
the  children  taught  in  a  Jewish  Educational 
Establishment. 

Tlie  protestant  Hospital,  or  tbe  Christain 
party  interested  in  thfs  matter,  impeached  Mf. 
Honel,  wanting  to  cotBpel  hira  to  have  the  chil- 
dren brought  up  Protestants.  Monsieur  Crem- 
ieux,  (of  whom  we  made  honorable  mention  in 
our  first  number)  will  assist  Mr.  Ilonel :  the 
result  we  shall  lay  before  our  readers,  after 
a  decision  of  tbe  court.

firmitif  60  difficult  to  be  overcome,  and  to 
which  children  are  so  exctssively  prone,  that 
it  may  be  doubted  whether,  in  any  branch  of 
educuiiou,  more  discretion  or  more  skill  is 
required. 

The  subject  is  of  paramount  importance; 
for  there  is  no   one  who  has  contemplated  the 
fuffering  occasioned,  throu-h  life,  by  the  prev- 
alence of  needless  fears,  imaginary  terrors,  and 
djseastd'iierves,  but   would  most  earnestly  de 
sire  to  preserve  his  children  from  these  evils. 
And  yet  they  mostly   are  the  effect  of  early 
impres.sions   injudiciously   made  by   ignorant 
parents,  nurses  and   busy  visitors.     Many  a 
child  has  had  to  pay  with  his  wits  a  joke  pushed 
upon  it    by   sonic    playful    ignorant    friend 
Children  who  have   been  alarmed   by  certain 
imaginary   objects  of  fear,  were,   through  all 
their  life,  in  terror  of  these  objects,  and  would, 
if  circumalancesjbrought  them  into  a  siluation 
where  they  had  to  walk  alone  or  to  be  left  in 
the  dark,  be  so  terrified  as  to  lose  their  senses 
and    become    idiots    for    life,     An    ignorant 
school  master  (and  of  such  you  have  numbers 
in  your  schools)  once  inoonsideratly  locked  up 
in  a  dark  room  a  child  that  wa.s   brought  up, 
under  impreisious  of  fear ;  when   he  went   to 
liberate  her,  the  poor  child  was  a  perfect  idiot 
iu  consc.juenceof  the  terrors  it  experienced  in 
the  dark,  and  it  remained  so  for  life.    May 
you  be  warned,  and  guard  your  children  as 
far  as  possible,  from  everything  likely  to  ex- 
cite sudden  alarm,  or  to  terrify  the  imagination. 
In  very  early  childhood  they  ought  not  to  be 
startled,  even  at  play,  by  sudden  noises  or 
strange  appearances.     Keep  those  idlers  away 
lro»  your  house  who,  from  very  love  to  child- 
ren are  fond  of  teasing  and  jocking  with  then, 
and  telling  them  idle  stories,  calculated   to 
pervert  their   imagination  or  to  terrify  them 
oat  of  thefr  wits.    Ghost  stories,  extraordi- 
nary dreams,  and  all  other  gloomy  and  myste- 
rious talcs,  must  on  no  account  be  named  in 
their  presence :  nor  must  they  read  histories 
of  murders,  robberies,    sudden    deaths,  mad 
dogs,  or  terrible  diseases,  in  common  newspa 
pers.    If  any  such  occurrences  are  the  subjects 
of  general  conversation,  let  them  at  least  be 
prohibited  in  the  nursery.    Nor  is  it  of  less 
importance  that  wc  should  be  cautious  our- 
selves of  betraying  alarm  at  storms,  a  dread  of 
the    dark,   or  a   fear  and    disgust  at  animals. 
The  stricter  vigilance,  in  these  respects,  is 
required,    because,  by  a  casuai    indiscretion 
on  our  part ;  by  one  alarming  itory  ,  by  onoe 
yielding  ouraelvts  loan  eaotioa  of  groundless 
terror,  »n  impression  may  be  made  on  the 
mind  of  a  child  that  will  contlAue  for  years, 
and  materially  counteract  the  effect  of  habitual 
watchfulness.    How  cruel,  then,  purposely  to 
excite  false  terrors  in  those  under  our  care ; 
fts  by  threatening  them  with  "the  black  man 
who  comes  for  naughty  children,"  with  "gip- 
slfB,"  "  the  snake  in  the  well,"  &c.!    Not  that 
children  will  be  long  deceived,  (they,  to  your 
sorrow,  will  find  you  out  and  in  future  will  re- 
spect you  accordingly ;)  but  when  the  black 
man  and  dreadful   monster  shall    have  lost 
their  power,  the  effect  on  the  imagination,  a 
lability  to  nervous  and  undefined  terrors,  will, 
continue  :  and  thus,  for  the  trifling  considerar 
lion    of  sparing    ourselves    a   little   present 
trouble,  we  entail  npon  those  entrusted  to  us, 
eoflbring,  and  imbecility  of  mind,  which  no 
sabsequent  cfiorts  of  their  own  may  be  able 
whoHy  to  overcome.    We  cannot  pass  here  in 
silence  another  mode  of  •  more  refined  but  not 
1^  dangerous  manucr  of  producing  fearfulness, 


that  prewwta  it»»f  to  oar  ey«B.  If,  *^>«^' 
we  look  only  upon  the  outsides  of  theee  bodUy 
substances,  and  do  not  see  God  in  every  thing, 
we  are  no  better  than  brntUh ;  making  ustf 
merely  of  our  sense,  without  the  least  improve 
ment  of  our  faith  or  our  reason.     Contrary, 

who  hold 


Stone.  Let  it  be  remembered,  that  the  atr 
tempt  to  touch  the  conscience,  or  to  enforce 
obedience  dy  terrifjing  the  imagination,  is 
und^r  every  form,  to  be  reprobated,  as  alto- 
gether erroneous  and  highly  injuricuB.  This 
mode  of  proceeding  i««,  commonly,  the  resort 
of  weakness  and  inexperience ;  for  authority, 
establ  shed  on  right  principles,  needs  no  such 
supports.  Superstitious  fears  of  every  kind 
are  the  more  to  be  dreaded,  and  earnestly 
guarded  against,  because  so  peculiarly  apt  to 
mingle  themselves  with  religion,  to  discolor 
that  which  in  its  own  nature  is  full  of  attrac 
tion,  and  which,  if  not  disguised  or  distorted 
by  the  imagination,  would  appear,  as  it  is  in 
truth,  a  reasonable  and  joyful  service. 

Great  care  is  required  that  children  do  not 
imbibe  terrific  and  gloomy  ideas  of  death  ;  nor 
shoald  they   incoutiously  be  taken  to  funerals, 
or  allowed  to  see  a  corpse.    Neither   religion 
nor  philosophy  present  death  as  an  object  of 
fear.     It  is  more  desirable  that  we   present  it 
as  means  of  introducing  us  into  a  state  of  more 
perfect  existence  participating  after   a  life  of 
struggle  and  selfdenlal  Of  the  joys  of  the 
righteous    in  the    presence  of    our    heavenly 
Father,    freed    from   every    pain    an  sorrow, 
rather  than  dwelling  on  the  state  and  burial 
of  the  body  ;  a  subject  very  likely  painfully  to 
affect  the  imagination.     On  this   point,  books 
are   often   injudicious,  and   it  will  be  much 
better,  if  the  book  is  otherwise  good,  to  make 
a  point  of  cutting  out  such  passages   from  a 
nursery  library. 

If  children  are  naturally  of  a  timid,  nervous 
constitution,  or  if,  unfortunately,   they   have 
imbibed  those   fears  from  which  we  should 
wish  to  guard   them,  much  may  be  done  to- 
ward restoring  them  to  a  healthful  tone  of 
mind  ;  but  it  must    be  eftected   by  more   than 
common  skill,  and  by  measures  the  most  gentle 
and  unperceived.    Direct  opposition,  upbraid- 
ing a  child  for  its  cowardice,  accusing  him  of 
fearing   the  dark,  of  beleiving  in  ghosts,  &c., 
will  but  cstoblish,  or  perhaps  create,  the  very 
evils  we  desire  to  counteract.    If  a  child  dread 
the  dark,  he  must  on  no  account  be  forced 
into  it,  or  left  in  bed  against  iti  will  without 
a  candle.    We  had  better  appear  neither  to 
see  his  weakness,  nor  consider  it  of  importance, 
and  for  a  time  silently  yield  to  it,  rather  than 
notice  or  oppose  it .  at  the  same  time,  losing 
no  opportunity  of  infusing  a  counteracting 
principle.     A  child  may  very  soon  be  tempted 
to  join  bis  bolder   companions  iu  a  dark  room 
at  a  gaae  of  play,   especially  if  his  nurse  will 
join  theeport,  till  he  become  accustomed  to  it. 
Well-chosen    stories,    without    any    apparent 
reference  to  himself,  may  be  related  to  him, 
dispkyingthe  good  effects  of  courage,  as  op 
posei  to  the  folly  and  ill  consequence  of  cow 
ardice.    As  he  advances  in  age  and  strength 
of  mind,  he  will  be  able    to  profit  by  some 
reasoning  on  the  subject.    We  may  animate 
him  to  overcome  his  fears  by  an  exertion  of 
his  own,  encouraging  him  by   rewards  and 
approbation  ;    but  let  the  efforts  which  he 
makes  be  wholly  voluntory,  and  not  by  con- 
straint.

Dr.  9hi#ftwA  slates  lifet  he  had  a 


Dedication  of  the  New  Synagogue  at 
New  Orleans. 

The  ceremony  of  consecrating  the  new  Syr- 
a-'ogue    on   Carondelet   street,  between    St. 
Joseph'  and  Julia  streets,  was  performed  on 
Wednesday  evening,  April  1st     Every  seat 
«as  occupied  on  the  occasion.    The  Synagogue 
is  one  of  the  least  pretending  and  jet  ene  of 
the  handsomest  places  of  worship  in  New  Or- 
leans.  Both  externally  and  internally,  it  bears 
a  close   resemblance  to  the  old  Synagogue  on 
Canal  street,  (even  the  beemah  in  the  centre  is 
allowed  to  continae,)  and  is  also  modeled  after 
the  ancient  temple  of  Athens-that  of  Erecthe- 
uium.     The  structure  with   its  furniture  is 
reported  to  have  cost  about  875,000. 

The  ornamental  work  over  the  Ark,  the 
circle  from  which  the  chandelier  is  suspended, 
and  the  capiUls  of  the  gallery  columns  are  the 
only  ornate  part*  of  the  interior,  ytA  the  ©Sect 
is  much  more  agreeable  than  if  the  labor  of  the 
stuccoer  had  been  profusely  expended.  The 
outside  of  the  building  is  plain  and  not  un- 
graceful-looking. Half  a  dozen  or  more  col- 
umns, support  the  roof  over  the  portico,  im- 
parting to  it  a  classic  and  imposing  aspect. 
Altogether  the  new  Synagogue  is  an  ornament 
to  New  Orleans,  and  as  citizens  wc  are  proud 
to  record  the  completion  of  another  addition  to 
our  fine  public  edifices. 

After  the  performance  of  the  usual  ceremo- 
nies a  hymn  was  sung  by  the  choir,  and  the 
minister  ascended  the  pulpit  and  preached  a 
dedication  sermon,  in    language  impressive, 
well  chosen  and  characterized  by  strong  reli- 
gions feeling,  vigorous    thought    and   much 
eloquence.    He  referred  to  the  circumstances 
which  compelled   them,  three  years  ago,  to 
leave  their  lormer  place  of  worship,  and  likened 
the  congregation  to  the  Israelites  of  old,  wan- 
derers and    guardians  of  the   Ark  in   many 
places.    The  reverend  gentleman  then  paid  a 
most  eloquent  and  affectionate  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  their  munificent  benefactor,  the  late 
Jndah  Truro.     Mr.  Gutheim   then   spoke  at 
length  on  the  subjects  appropriate  to  the  oc- 
casion, and  concluded  by  stating  that,  at  this

desired  effect. 

A  fact  is  stated   in   Lockharfs  life  of  Sir 
Walter  Scoot,  which  shows  the  power  of  mind 
over  the  system,  to  prevent  at  will,  the  usual 
effects  of  medicine.     It  is  related  by  Sco« 
himself,  of  a  common  farmer,  whose  father  ha 
Khren  him  a  quantity   of  laudanum,  instead  of 
some  other   medicine.    This  mistake  was.. 
stantly  discovered ;  but  the  young  man  hadi 
sufficient  energy  and  force  of  mind  to  res,^ 
the  operation  of  the  drug.    While  all  around| 
him  were  stupid  with  fear,  he  sUrted  up 
died  his  horse,  and  rode  to  Selkirk,  a  d.stana 
of  six  or  seven  miles,  thus  saving  the  time  tba|

God  Visible  through  his  Works. 

If  miracles  be  ceased,  yet  mirvels  will 
never  cease.  There  is  no  creature  in  the 
world  wherein  we  may  not  see  enough  to  won- 
der at ;  for  there  is  no  worm  of  the  earth,  no 
spire  of  grass,  no  leaf,  no  twig,  wherein  wc  may 
not  see  the  footeteps  of  a  Diety.  The  best 
visible  creature  is  man  :  now,  what  man  is  he 
that  can  make  but  a  hair  or  a  straw,  much 
less  any  sensitive  creature  ?  So  that  no  less 
than  an  infinite  power  is  seen  in  every  object 


Patience. 

The  wise  Hillel  had  been  discoursing  with 
his  disciples  on  patience.  'I'hen  said  they  to 
him  :  Master,  give  us  an  image  and  emblem  as 
thou  art  wont  to  do. 

Hillel  answered  and  said  :  1  liken  patience 
to  the  most  precious  of  the  productions  of  the 
earth— the  diamond.  Covered  with  sand  and 
rocks,  it  lies  buried  in  the  dark  bosom  of  the 
earth ;  and  though  no  ray  of  light  can  reach  it, 
still  it  sparkles  with  unfading  brilliancy-a 
child  of  heavenly  light— which  it  faithfully 
retains  within  its  bosom  :  thus  doth  it  preserve 
its  lustre  even  amid  profound  darkness ;  the 
ignorant  peasant  takes  it  up,  and  throws  it 
away,  because  ho  knows  not  its  worth.  But 
when  brought  to  the  jeweller,  he  knows  how 
to  treat  it,  it  then  is  released  from  its  gloomy 
prison  and  brought  forth  into  the  day,  it  forms, 
in  association  with  gold,  the  emblems  and 
ornaments  of  dominion  and  royalty— the  ring, 
the  sceptre,  and  the  crown. 

What:  said  his  disciples,  dost  thou  liken

Germany. — Augshxurg. — The  German  press 
is  greatly  dissatisfied  with  the  caution  lately 
issued  by  the  inquisitor-general,  the  successor 
of  Torqupmada:  It  is  felt  that  such  niediinval 
priestly  dictates  are  entirely  in  contratliction 
to  the  spirit  of  the  age,  and  the  liberty  of  re- 
ligion and  conscienec  granted  by  almost  every 
civilised  government.  The  catholic  press, 
therefore,  tries  to  remove  the  bad  impre-s'on 
made  by  that  inquisitorial  order  by  stating 
that  it  is  only  a  continuation  of  an  old  custom, 
in  no  wise  intending  to  come  in  conflict  with 
the  liberal  ideas  of  our  age.  Nevertheless  it 
acknowledges  that  only  last  year  a  company  of 
Jews  and  Christians  having  united  to  give  o» 
a  Friday  a  dinner  to  one  of  the  renowned 
singers  of  Italy,  were  arrested  at  the  festive 
board,  and  the  Christians  fined  and  imprisoned 
for  having  joined  the  company  of  Jews.

The  Mazoosah. 

As  the  port,  dress  and  mien  of  man  is, 
to  a  considerable  extent,  an  index  of  his  in- 
dwelling agent— his  soul ;  and  as  men,  in  gen- 
eral, by  their  dross,  equipage  and  furniture, 
wish  to  indicate  their  means,  and  position,  and 
rank,— so  do  the  laws  laid  down  in  Scripture 
for  Israel,  aim  at  impressing  on  the  person, 
dress,  dwell'ng,  and  on  every  object  within  his 
sphere,  the  idea  of  his  being  a  member  of  Is- 
rael, which  means  "  pugnator  Dei,"  "  a  soldier 
(in  the  service)  of  God— (see  Gen.  xxxii.,  29)  ; 
or  "  God  shall  rule,"  according  to  another  ety- 
mology ;  or,  according  to  a  third,  "  rectus,  Jus- 
tus," all  of  which  indicating  that  the  Israelite 
has  to  contend  against  vice  and  wickedness 
within  himself  and  without,  and  submit  to  and 
>oboy  his  Lord  and  God. 
"^  Thi-j  idea,  we  say,  is  to  become  impressed  on 
our  minds  by  every  object  within  our  sphere. 
All  is  to  be  reminiscent  of  our  duties  as  sub- 
jects of  our  Great  King  and  Ruler.  Amone 
these  belongs  the  subject  of  our  caption,  the 
Mczoozab. 

We  read  in  Deuteronomy,  6, 9, 11,19-"  And 
yc  shall  teach  them,  your  children,  speaking 
of  them  (the  words  of  the  law)  when  thou 
sittCBt  in  thine  bouse,  and  when  thou  walkest 
by  the  way,  when  thou  Heat  down,  and  when 
thou  riscst  up.  And  thou  shalt  write  thtm 
upon  the  door  posts  of  thine  house,  and  upon  thy 
gates." 

The  word  mezouzoth  is  derived  from  zouz — 


in  an  injulTct'on,  "  Thou  shall  write  Them  oii 
the  posts  of  thy  house  and  on  thy  gate.^."  Sup- 
ported by  the  context  which  speaks  of  a  literal 
teaching,  rising,  lying  down,   going  ont  and 
coming  in,   wc,  contrary   to  most   Christian 
commentators  understand   the  text  to   be  a 
liberal   command,  which  is  quite  in  the  spirit 
of  the  Bible— the  whole  structure  of  their  cere- 
monial law  being  "mitzvoth    ziclirom-yotli"  re- 
mcniscent  injunctions,  as  Maimonidcs  terms  it 
—as  also  with  that  of  the  East,  where,  to  this 
day,  it  is  not   unusual  f  r  the  mos'ems  to  in- 
scribe  on  and  over  tV.c  gites,   and   on  other 
parts  of  buildings,  passages  from   their  sacred 
book,  the  Koran.     In   addition   to   these  rea- 
sons, we  may  add  its  reasonableness  and  bene- 
ficial effects.     We  therefore,  when  yet  settled 
in  Palestine  applied  this  precept  in  the  fame 
manner  ;  we  would   write  the  passage  before 
us  and   others  in   full  over  the  door  and  gates. 
But  after  the  dispersion,  coming  to   western 
countries  where  such  was  not  the  custom,  and 
where  it  often  might  be  attended  with  incon- 
venience, and,  during  the  persecution  of  the 
middle  ages,  in   Christian  (?)*  countries,  thus 
to  p^H&t  ©at^bc  dwellings  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  with  imminent  danger,  the  injunction 
was  observed  by  writing,  not  general  passages, 
but  merely  (the  highly   important  ones)   as 
Deut.  6  :  4—8  and  II  :  13—20,  on  a  scroll  of 
parchment  of  from  about  li  to  9  inches  in 
height,  this  would  be  rolled  togeather  enclosed 
in  a  parchmect   (sometimes  in  a  tin,  silver,  or 
gold)  case,  in  which  an  opening  would  be  eat 
out  just   large   enough  to  show    the  name 
"Shaddai  "  Almighty,''— a   name  applied  to 
God,  when  his  all  ruling,  all  powerful,  myste- 
noiisly  operating  Providence  is  to  be  brought 
to  iikiiiJ— which  i;!  in.'cribed  on  the  outside  of 
a  wrapped  up  encafcd  scmll  "u  bpjeen  without. 
This  case  is  fixwl  to  the  uiipcr  part  of  the  door 
post,  on  the  right  bai.d  of  the  entrance  of  all 
dwelUoiiis  and  apartments,  if  of  no  less  a  space 
th.in    .'our  square  '•tepluu/nm"   handbreadths. 
Holy  plKres,  as,  on  tAo  contrary,  those  whore 
animal  functions  are  ])erfornKd,  as  also  whcii 
the  holy  scroll  might  be  wantonly  abused,  or 
where  it.i  application  would  endanger  life,  in  all 
such  places,  the  Rahbins  dispensed  the  use. 
Piety  ordained  that  the  Holy  name  was  to  be 
covered,  whenever  any  perforopance  was  to 
take  place  in  the  dwelling,  during  which,  mod- 
esty or  reverence   would  tell   us  that  it  was 
better  to  cover  the  blessed  name.    Devout 
men,  on  passing  the  Mezoozah,  would  raise 
their  hand,  place  it  on  the   name,  and  return 
it  to  their  lips  with  a  kiss ;  the  father  of  a 
family   leaving  his  house  on  a  journey,  would 
stop  an  instant,  look  up  to  the  Mezoozah,  kiss 
the  holy  name,  and  commit  his  house,   family, 
his  wife  and   children  to  the  care  of  that  al- 
mighty power,  whoso  name  was  inscribed  on 
the  thresnhold  of  the  house. 


*  Strange  indeed,  that  we,  even  in  our  days, 
hear  the  trite  term  "  Chriatian  countries,"  by 
speechifiers  who  declaim  that  the  country 
would  become  unchristianized,  unles-  the 
legislators  unchristianize  it  themselves  by 
enactments  against  the  spirit  and  wo-ds  of  Je^ 
SU8  and  the  apostles.  For,  a  Christian  country 
that  exacU  oaths,  "  at  AL^"  especially  on  every 
trivial  occasion,  as  is  done  in  that  of  our  ref- 
erence (England),— that  country  which  keeps 
standing  armies,  and  which  blends  politics 
with  religion  for  oppression,  when  Jesus  em- 
phatically, even  in  a  political  question  said  "My 
Kingdom  is  not  ofthiBWorld."-( John  18:  87.)— 
And  that  country  which  in  its  religious  in« 
atruotion,  directly  or  indirectly  infuses  hatred 
against  Jews,  when  Jesus  himself,  in  bis  last 
moments,  and  on  the  cross,  exclaimed,  as  the 
text  (Luke  23  :  84 :)  says,  "  Father,  forgive 
them  for  they  know  not  what  they  do."  How 
countries  teaching  and  practising  the  contrary 
to  what  is  required  by  Jesus,  can  call  them 
selves  Christian,  we   cannot  understand. 


The  Miracle  at  Oran. 

To  the  Editor  of  the  Jewish  Chronicle. 

Mr.  Editor, — In  your  journal,  number  86, 
F  read  an  article  concerning  the  miraculous 
iureofGalli  Reboul,  of  Oran,  which,  though 
originally  related  by  one  of  our  most  talented 

ble.  Having  resided  for  many  years  at  Oran- 
and  having  seen  and  spoken  to  Galli  Reboul, 
I  shall,  wiih  your  permission,  corroborate  by 
my  humble  testimony  the  truth  of  these  extra- 
lO.'dinary  statements. 

I    Galli  Reboul,  inconsequence  of  a  serious 
malady,  became  lame  iiwKveral  of  bis  lirab=, 
to  that  e.\tent,  that  it  was   impossible  for  him 
Ito  kceep  his  body  erect— to   walk  without 
using  his  arms  instead  of  legs.    Reduced   by 
bis  infirmity  to  the  deepest  misery,  and  forced 
to  procure  the  means  of  his  exibtence  by  public 
Icharity,  he   was  daily  seen  at  a  place  in  Orun 
'(Place  de   Mahon)   close  to  the  door  of  the 
[Synagogue,  receiving  alms  of  passers-by.     As 
Isoon  as  he  had   obtained  the  small  pittance 
^f  his  daily    sustenance    he  went    into  the 
Synagogue,  where  he  remained   lying  in  a  eer- 
ier till   night.    Truly  pious,  he  endured  his 
nisery   with   an  angelic  resignation.     Never 
lid  a  murmur  against  Providence  escape  his 
jips,  and  nothing  but  death  he  hoped  for,  as  a 
kourcc  of  relief  from  his   unhappy  existence. 
But  Providence  had  determined  it  otherwise. 
One  morning  in  the  month  of  March,  1844,  the 
populace  of  Oran  was  aroused  by  the  astound- 
ing cry,  "A  miracle  !  a  miracle  !    Galli  Rtboul 
itands  erect  and   walks  as  every  body  else !" 
Every  body  ran  to  be  convinced  with  his  own 
.«ye6.    The  General  of  the  province,  M.  Thierry, 
i  who  had  often  manifested  his  compassion  for 
Reboul,  sent  for   him,   and   after  questioning 
him  as  to  his  recovery,   had  him  examined  by 
several  physicians  who  liad  known    Reboul 
previous  to  this  event.    But  all  science  seemed 
to  be  baffled,  as  the  return  of  flesh  to  the  limbs, 
deprived  thereof  for  twenty-eight  years,  could 
not  be  attributed  to  any  natural  cause  what- 
ever.   Since  that  mui:.    .' .  P'-boul  was  looked 
upon  as  a  saint ;  and  the  nativtai  to  this  day, 
invoke  his  blesainge  on  every  occasion. 

The  details  which  he  gave  of  his  remarkblc 
recovery,  are  about  the  same  as  those  given 
.iTonryournal,  and  I,  therefore,  need  not  re- 
'•ftpitulale  them.  The  General  made  him  a 
prosuiil,  nnH  us  the  whole  population  genoruti^i'y 
followed  this  example,  he  was  soon  relieved 
also  from  his  [iccnniary  distress. 

And  if  you  now  enter  the  Synagogue  of  the 
INace  de  Mahon,  and  you  cast  a  glance  towards 
a  corner,  where,  during  twenty-eight  years  a 
cripple  has  groaned  on  the  ground,  your  eyes 
meet  the  Hechal  (Ark)  containing  a  scroll  of 
the  law,  out  of  which  he  read,  the  Sabbath 
previous  to  his  recovery  ;  and  illuminated  by 
a  continual  light  which  the  native  women, 
even  of  the  Mussulmans,  supply  with  oil. 
You  will  ask  why  the  Hechal  is  placed  in  that 
corner,  and  the  reply  you  receive  will  be  :— it 
has  been  erected  in  memory  of  a  miracle 
wrought  for  this  man  whom  you  perceive 
next  to  it.  You  there  behold  a  respectable, 
indeed  a  venerable-looking,  man  standing  up- 
right, with  a  long  white  beard,  and  whose  eyes 
which  during  twenty-eight  years  saw  nothing 
but  the  ground  upon  which  he  crawled,  are 
lifted  up  to  heaven— it  is  Galli  Reboul,  who 
is  wrapped  up  in   thanksgiving  to  the  God  of 

Israel. 

I  am,  Sir,  your  most  obedient  Servant, 

H.  Nkuoass.

a  moment  sufficed  to  make  a  heap^f  ruins  of  all 
he  possessed.  Among  other  objects,  library, 
composed  of  the  rarest  books,  that  like  a  true 
amateur,  he  had  passed  many  yeaas  in  collect- 
ing and  from  which,  so  far.  nothing  has  be«n 
recovered.  The  pious  and  illustrious  Rabbi's 
grief  is  great,  as  can  be  easily  jmagined,  espe- 
cially in  the  middle  of  the  severe  Swwn,  and 
yet  he  has  proved  himself  to  be  animated  by 
one  only  sentiment,  that  of  gratitude  to  God 
for  being  so  miraculously  saved. 

It  Jerusalem  all  the  .Rabbis  are  poor,  they 
only  exist  through   the  munificence  of  their 
brothers  in  other  countries.    It  often  happens 
that  the  distribution  is  made  with  the  greatest 
partiality.  How  meritorious  it  would  be  to  suc- 
cor an  illustrious  scholar  whose  every  moment 
is  consecrated  to  the  investigation  of  the  science 
of  our  antiquities,  and  who  in  that  branch,  has 
already  rendered  such  important  services  to  the 
amateurs  of  Jewish  antiquity.     It   is  not  an 
ordinary  case;    it  is  the  case  of  a   scholar 
devoted  to  the  most  useful  labors,   who  is  a 
prey  to  misery  of  every   kind.     The  English 
Consul,  Mr.  Finn,  has  kindly  promised    his 
assistance  in  obtaining  for  the  Rabbi  an  indem- 
nity from  the  Mussulman  proprietor  ;  but  tar- 
diness of  justice  is  well  known  in  this  land  of 
despotism.  In  the  meantime,  Mr.  Coronel's  loss 
amounts  to  more  than  10,000  piasters.    There 
is  not  a  moment  to  be  lost  therefore  in  recom- 
mending his  case  in  the  most  zealous  manner 
to  all  friends  of  the  Holy  City,  aad  to  enlist 
their  charity  in  his  behalf.     Those  who  would 
desire  to  see  their  names  figure  among  those  of 
his  benefactors  may  address  their  donations  to 
Mr.   Albert  Cohn,  14  Rue  Bleue,  Paris,  who 
we  arc  sure  will  be  happy  to  forward  them  to 
their  destination.— JsmoMeau.

The  Poison  Oak. 
Our  object  being  a  practical  one,  we  will  at 
ODCe  prescribe  remedies  against  this  poisonous 
weed,  and  give  the  discription  and  the  symp- 
toms. Hitherto,  its  treatment  has  been  con- 
fined to  simple  washes  of  solution  of  common 
salt  in  cold  water,  and  nitrate  of  silver  ;  the 
latter  is  not  recommended  by  the  writer  from 
personal  knowledge ;  but  any  chemist  almost 
of  experience  may  be  trusted  with  its  cure, 
as  that  appears  only  to  be  the  work  of  time, 
and  no  instance  of  a  fatal  result,  is  reccorded 
of  its  virulence. 

A  correspondent  under  the  >iom  de  plume  of 
"  Gold  Spring,"  gives  the  following  : 

"  I  was  pler.sed  to  see  in  the  October  number, 
a  short  notice  of  the  Poison  Oak,  or  La  Yedra, 
as  the  Mexicans  call  it,  and  I  am  anxious  to 
obtain  information  about  it,  and  also  to  learn 
a  preventive  of  its  evil  pffpots,  I  believe  that 
I  am  as  subject  te  its  influence  as  any  person 
can  be,  and  I  perceive  that  I  am  infinitely  more 
liable  to  be  affected  by  it  now,  than  when  I 
first  commenced  mining,  in  1850.  At  th.it 
time,  it  was  necessary  that  I  should  come  into 
actual  contact  with,  and  even  be  scratched  by 
it,  in  order  to  be  attacked  severely ;  but  now, 
if  I  work  within  a  few  paces  of  it,  and  perspire, 
as  one  is  apt  to  do  in  a  California  Summer,  I 
am  certain,  although  exceedingly  careful  not  to 
touch  it,  to  be  badly  '  poisoned.' 

"  The  effects,  however,  are  not  precisely  the 
same,  on  me,  as  on  many  others.  Its  first  ap- 
pearance is  in  the  form  of  small  red  pimples  on 
my  arms  and  legs,  and  these  soon  become 
watery  pustules,  which  speedily  spread  over 
all  the  most  tender  parts  of  my  body,  as  inside 
my  elbows  and  knees  ;  and,  in  fact,  in  every 
place  where  the  skin,  by  forming  a  tvrinkle, 
appears  to  detain  the  perspiration.  Some- 
times it  breaks  out  across  my  stomach,  and 
then  it  produces  a  very  unpleasant,  sickly 
feeling,  gradually.  The  parts,  however,  never 
swsll,  which  I  have  attributed  to  the  ease  with 
which  it  appears  to  break  through  the  skin. 
These  pustules  are  exc^ingly  irritating,  and 
when  scratched,  which  it  is  almost  impossible 
to  avoid  doing,  become  very  painful.  The 
eruption,  if  left  to  itself,  usually  continues  for 
about  a  week,  when  it  gradually  subsides — 
sometimes,  however,  leaving  a  memento  of  its 
passage  in  the  shape  of  boils,  which  break  out 
here  and  there  over  the  affected  parts.  I  for- 
got to  say  that  the  pustules  are  sometimes  so 
thick  as  to  produce  the  appearance  of  a  severe 
blistered  scald,  and  the  discharge  of  aqueous 
matter  so  great  that  I  have  had  a  pocket 
handkerchief,  which  I  tied  round  my  arm,  wet 
through  several  folds  by  it. 

"  As  for  its  cure,  almost  every  one  has  a 
different  specific,  although  the  most  favored 
appears  to  be  salt  and  water.  I  have  tried 
almost  every  thing  I  could  hear  of — salt, 
gunpowder,  carbonate  of  soda,  sugar  of  lead, 
and  many  others,  with  various  success,  but 
have  never  been  able  to  cnre  it  under  three  or 
four  days ;  and  then,  when  I  resumed  work 
fonnd  myself  just  as  subject  to  it  as  ever.  I 
have  also  tried  decoctions  of  various  plants,  in 
order  to  find  an  immediate  remedy,  but  without 
avail.  I  am  rather  opposed  to  the  use  of  any 
such  violent  specifics  as  those  above  named,  as 
I  think  they  are  very  apt  to  produce  internal 
sickness.  I  am  ioclined  to  the  opinion  that, 
where  convenient,  frequent  bathings  with 
water,  as  hot  as  can  be  borne,  is  about  the  best 


treatment.  Some  light  aperient  may  be  taken 
at  the  same  time.  A  solution  of  acetate  of 
lead,  with  some  drops  of  laudanum  in  it,  is, 
however,  tolerably  effective.  I  think,  however, 
that  it  is  with  thir,  as  with  other  ailments ; 
that  as  it  affects  differently  constituted  persons 
variously,  so  it  is  differently  cured.     I  have

water  with  great  cfftsct,  although  it  produced 
none  on  me.  I  have  also  observed  that  per- 
sons of  a  light  complexion  are  much  more 
easily  affected  by  it  than  dark  ones.  Is  this 
the  result  of  your  experience  ? 

"  Gold  Spring's"  letter  is  one  of  the  many 
instances  of  the  good  effect  of  disseminating 
information  of  local  interest.  We  quote  his 
favor,  and  hope  that  it  will  be  an  example  to 
our  readers,  of  communicating  any  intelligence 
that  may  tend  to  benefit  our  community.  .  We 
are  glad  to  see  that  he  recommends  caution  in 
the  use  of  external  applications,  as  we  are  yet 
unacquainted  with  the  whole  of  its  symptoms. 

Some  have  suggested  constant  rubbing  with 
ice,  or  bathing  iu  ice-water ;  but  we  would  by 
no  means  recommend  it  ;  applications  similar 
to  those  in  use  for  other  poisons  of  like  appear- 
ance are  safest. 

From  the  effects  of  this  poison,  a  gentleman 
with  whom  we  are  well  acquainted,  was  entirely 
blind  for  six  weeks,  his  head  having  swollen  to 
an  enormous  size  ;  and,  in  addition  to  his  dis- 
tressingly painful  condition,  was  much  afraid 
that  it  would  become  fatal  in  its  consequences. 
Many  of  the  usual  remedies,  superintended  by 
a  skilful  physician,  were  nselefls  and  unavailing 
until  a  friend,  while  visiting  him,  suggested 
the  use  of  the  soap  root,  so  common  throughout 
California*.  This  was  tried  with  eminent  suc- 
cess ;  for  in  three  days  after  its  application  he 
was  able  to  resume  his  business.  As  nearly 
every  one  throughout  California  is  familiar  with 
this  root,  we  need  only  add  that  it  was  used  in 
th  same  manner  as  common  soap. 

It  is  possible  that  if  the  soap  root  could  be 
used  when  the  first  symptoms  are  apparent,  it 
would  prove  an  immediate  remedy. 

A  correspondent  of  the  San  Francisco  Eve- 
ning Bulletin,  of  Nov.  24tb,  makes  the  follow- 
ing observations : 

The  Quercus  Viri,  or  Poison  Oak  of  Cali- 
fornia, and  its  antidote. — Referring  to  the  arti- 
cle in  Hatchings' itfagazine,  on  the  above  plant 
an  extract  from  which  appeared  in  Saturday's 
Bulletin,  I  beg  to  offer  a  few  remarks  :  The 
effsct  of  this  climbing  {not  creeping)  shrub  acta 
as  a  poisonous  agent  on  some  constitutions,  is 
not,  as  therein  stated,  confined  to  temperament. 
[This  is  an  error,  as  no  such  statement  was 
made. — Ed.  Bul.]  The  virus  acts  on  the  cu- 
ticle, and  produces  a  rapidly  increased  action 
of  the  vascular  system.  In  certain  states  of 
the  body  the  action  is  more  rapid  than  at  other 
periods.  The  remedies  I  would  suggest  are  as 
follows  :  Wash  the  part  affected  with  a  strong 
solution  of  bicarb,  of  soda  ;  then  apply,  by 
means  of  a  linen  cloth,  kept  well  saturated,  a 
lotion  composed  of  chloroform,  one  part ;  eau 
de  cologne,  two  parts ;  water,  three  parts.  Af- 
ter a  very  short  period,  the  patient  will  not, 
generally,  experience  any  further  annoyance. 

We  are  happy  to  have  our  belief  confirmed, 
that  this  pestilence  has  not,  in  any  instance, 
proved  fatal.  In  the  meantime,  it  would  be  a 
charity — nay,  even  a  duty,  to  make  known,  as 
publicly  as  possible,  any  specific  remedy  that 
any  fortunate  discoverer  may  alight  upon,  and 
we  shall  gladly  lend  our  aid  in  publishing  it. 

This  subject  has  elicited  more  attention, 
and  invited  more  examination  than  we  sup- 
posed it  probbable,  when  the  first  article  ap- 
peared upon  it,  in  this  Magazine.     Letters 


*  We  know,  from  experience,  the  excel- 
lent effect  of  this  root ;  and  in  this,  as  in 
millions  of  other  instances,  we  see  the  kind 
provisions  of  the  Deity  :  just  in  those  regions 
where  the  poison  exists  the  remedy  abounds. 
This  root,  in  some  constitutions,  will  produce 
an  almost  instantaneous  (as  we  may  say) 
change,— £d.  Glk. 


upon  letters,  of  inquiery,  and  for  information 
haxfi  poured  in  upon  us  ;  some  telling  us  of  its 
inconvenient  and  painful  effects  with  its  ac- 
companying symptoms ;  others  relating  the 
particular  kinds  of  treatment,  which  have  been 
succesful  to  them  individually,  with  a  variety 
of  questions  as  to  what  it  is  ?  how  to  avoid  it  ?

To  satisfy  these  inquires,  in  some  measure, 
we  renew  the  subject,  giving  some  illustrations 
of  the  shrub,  and  its  effects,  in  hopes  that, 
although  we  do  not  profess  to  be  physician 
jHftadrdinary,  to  this  class  of  persons  and  cases, 
^e  may  nevertheless  diffuse  information  of 
value  to  those  affected  by  it. 

For  ourselves  we  may  say  that  we  can  handle 
it,  and  even  eat  it,  with  impunity,  as  it  produces 
no  effect  whatever  apon  us ;  but  we  regret  to 
say,  it  is  not  thus  with  all. 

In  the  early  part  of  last  month,  we  saw  a 
person  almost  blind  from  its  effects,  and  with 
his  entire  face  and  portions  of  his  body,  very 
muoh  discolored  and  swollen.  In  this  condition 
he  was  recomended  the  "  sweating  "  process, 
adopted  by  Dr.  Bourne,  the  Water  Cure  phy- 
sician of  this  city.  The  following  statement 
of  Mr.  M.  Fisher,  will  distinctly  explain 
itself. 

"I  was  poisoned  by  contact  with  Poison  Oak, 
Feb.  22d»1857,  at  three  o  'clock,  P.  M.  At  ten 
o'clock,  P.  M.,  24th,  rny  condition  was  very 
distressing,  when  I  yas  rapily  becoming  blind. 
I  improved  considerahly  three  hours  later. 
after  a  thorough  sweatieg.  Now  1  am  eatierly 
cured  of  a  very  severe  affection  which  was 
rapidly  getting  worse,  and  exhibiting  its  effects 
all  ever  ray  person  :  without  medicine  or  any 
other  than  the  mode  above  stated,  only  three 
baths.  During  the  year  1853,  the  Poison  Oak 
caused  me  partial  blindness  nearly  one  month; 
and  total  blindness  for  several  days,  with  much 
suffering." 

Now  we  give  the  above,  simply  to  show 
that  a  good  sweating,  and  the  drinking  freely 
of  cold  water,  with  the  application  of  cloths, 
saturated  with  warm  water,  to  the  head  and 
face,  can  be  practiced  by  any  one  with  the 
greatest  safiy  and  efficiency. 

"  Any  mode  (says  the  Alta)  of  taking  a 
vapor  bath  will  do,  either  by  means  of  steam 
admitted  to  a  tight  box,  or  by  placing  the 
patient  under  blankets,  and  heating  the  water 
wiih  hot  stones  ;  or  other  convenient  plan,  so 
that  it  be  effectual,  and  allow  the  patient's  head 
to  be  exposed  to  the  air  avoiding  the  necessity 
of  breathing  the  hot  and  vitiated  steam. 

"  From  having  witnessed  its  effects.we  recom- 
mend the  forgoing  as  a simpleand  efficient  pro 
cess  for  overcoming  this  trublesome  disorder, 
to  all  such  as  may  unfortunately  require  its 
aid. 

There  are  some  afflicted  so  severely,  as  to 
induce  protracted  illness,  often  blindness,  and 
sometimes  even  death.  We  have  frequently 
known  it  to  baffle  the  treatment  of  physicians 
for  weeks  and  mouths,  subjecting  the  patient 
meantime,  to  great  inconvenicq||^nd  suffering. 
We  have,  therefore,  thought  it  worth  while  to 
give  the  public  the  benefit  of  a  mode  of  cure, 
iu  a  case  that  recently  came  under  our  own 
observation  ;  and  which  seems  alike  simple, 
speedy  and  efficacious. 

Some  have  used  gunpowder  with  effect, — 
others  alcohol, — others  strong  ley — and  who 
have  been  cured  by  rubbing  the  parta  affected, 
although  the  "  sweating  "  process  seems  to  us 
the  most  natural. 

I  "  suggest  a  remedy  for  the  pustular  erup- 
tion," writes  a  gentleman  from  Umpqua  City, 
Oregon,"  produced  by  the  poison  oak: — take 
sulphate  of  iron,  ten  grains ;  laudanum,  half  an 
ounce ;  water,  one  ounce — mix  and  apply  to 
the  diseased  surface,  constantly,  by  means  of 
soft  linen,  saturated  with  the  solution.  If  the 
eruption  is  persistent,  with  sympathetic  fever, 
take  salts  in  aperient  doses,  and  one  grain  of 
sulpate  of  iron,  internally." 

Too  much  care  cannot  be  used  when  riding 
or  walking  near  this  poisonous  shrub,  especially 
by  those  persons  who  arc  most  easily  affected. 
It  is  also  very  desirable  that  a  remedy  should  be

torian  to  demonstrate  what  sacrifices  the  first 
settlers  have  made  for  the  cause  of  their  relig- 
ion. Only  ten  years  s'nce  Mr.  Lauferty  and 
other  gentlemen  of  our  faith  formed  a  society, 
shortly  afterwards  purchased  a  burial  ground, 
and  have  now  leased  a  building  for  a  Syna- 
gogue. They  have  a  Hazan,  Shochat,  and 
.Mohel  a  good  school  for  bebraic  instruction 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Rcv.  Mr. 
Eppstein,  whose  reputation  is  well  established 
as  a  linguist.  Mr.  F.  Nirdlinger  ex-President 
of  the  congregation,  gave  his  house  free  of 
rent  for  the  use  of  the  congregation  for  eight 
years.  Independant  of  this  religious  progress, 
the  Jews  of  Fort  Wayne  stand  second  to  no 
other,  in  the  respect  of  their  fellow  citiaens. 
Mr.  F.  Nirdlinger  is  overseer  of  the  poor  ;  he 
and  Mr.  Lauferty,  have  both  been  members  of 
the  city  council.  The  Jews  of  Fort  Wayne, 
have,  at  every  opportunity,  evinced  that  their

THE    WEEKLY    GLEANER 


JUVENILE. 


The  Boy  arid  his  Angel. 
I'Oh  mother,  I've  been  with  an  angel  to-dny  ! 
I  wos  out,  alone,  in  the  foreet  at  play, 
Chasing   after    the    butterflies,    watching  the 

Bees, 
And  hearing  the  woodpecker  tapping  the  trees  • 
So  I  flayed,  and  I  played,  till,  so  weary  I  gre* 
I  sat  down  to  rest  in  the  shade  of  a  yew. 
While  the  birde  eong  so  sweetly  high  up  on  its 

I  held  my  breath,  mother,  for  fear  they  would 

■top ! 

Thus  a  long  while  I  eat,  looking  up  to  the  sky 
And  watching  the  clouds  that  went  hurrying  by 
When  I  beard  a  Toioe  calling,  just  over  my  head. 
That  sounded  as  if "  come,  oh  brother !"  it  said ; 
And  therA  right  over  the  top  of  the  tree. 
Oh  mother,  an  angel  was  beck'ning  to  me  I 
And, '  brother !'  once  more,  'come,  oh  brother!' 

he  cried. 
And  flew  on  l\ght  pinions   closs  down  by  my

j  Oh,  wild  was  the  anguish  that  swept  througb 
her  breast, 
As  the  long,   frantic  kiss  on  his   pale  Ups  she 

pressed! 
And  felt  the  vain  search  of  his  soft,   pleading 

As  it  strove  to  meet  her',  ere   the    fair  boy 

could  die, 
'I  see  you  not,  mother,  for  darkness  and  night. 
Are  hiding  your  dear  loving  face  from  my  sight 
But  1  hear  your  low    sobbings-dear    mother, 

'    good  bye ! 
The  angels  arc  ready  to  bear  me  on  high  ! 
I  will  wait  for  you   there-but,    oh,  tarry  not 

Least  grief  at  your  absence  should   sadden  uiy 

son-;,!" 
He  ceased,  and  his  hands  meekly   clasped  on 

his  breast. 
While  his  sweet  face  sank   down  on  its  pillow 

of  rest. 
Then  closing  his  eyes,  now  all  rayless  and  dun 
Went  up  with  the  angels  that  waited  for  him  .

four  young  ones.  They  had  no  down 
when  I  fiWt  discQjered  theiu.  They 
opened  their  little  mouths  as  if  they  were 
hungry,  and  I  gave  them  some^  crumbs

bread,  and  sit  by  the  nest  to  see  them  eat 
for  an  hour  at  a  time.  They  were  now 
feathered  out,  and  almost  ready  to  Hy. 
When  I  came  one  morning,  I  found  tliem 
all  cut  into  (luartors.  Tlie  grass  around

drowned  by  venturing  too  near  tin   water,

And  mother,  oh,  nerer  was  being  so  bright. 
As  the  one  which  then  beamed  on  my  wonder- 
ing Bight"< 
His  face  was  fair  as  the  delicate  shell. 
His  hair  down  his  shoulders  in  fair  rigleU  fell. 
With  eyes  resting  on  me,  so  melting  with  love. 
Were  as  soft  and  as  mild  as  the  eyes  of  a  dovel 
And  somehow,  dear  mother,  I  felt  not  afraid. 
As  his  hand  on  my  brow  he  coressingly  laid. 
And  whispered  so  softly  and  gently  to  me, 
'  Come,  brother,  the  angela  are  waiting  for  thee!' 
"And  then  on  my  forehead  he  tenderly  pressed 
Such  kisses— oh,  mother,  they  thrilled  through 

My  breast. 
As  swiftly   OS  lightning  leaps  down  from  on 

high. 
When  the  chariot  of  God  roHa  along  the  black 

sky! 
While  his  breath,  floating  round  me,  was  soft 

as  the  breeze 
That    played   in    my  tressee,  and^  rustled  the 

trees  ; 
At  last  on  my  head  a  deep  blessing  \ie  poured. 
Then  plumed  his  bright  pinions   and   upward 

he  soared  ! 
And  up,  up  he  went,  through  the  blue  sky,  so 

far. 
He  seemed  to  float  there  like  a  glittering  star. 
Yet  still  my  eyes  followed  his  radiant  flight, 
Till,  lost  in  the  azure,  he  passed  from  my  sight  1 
Then,  oh,  how  1   feared,  as  I  caught  the  last 

gleam 
Of  his  vanishing  form,  it  was  only  a  dream  ! 
When  soft  voices   whispered   once  more  from 

the  tree, 
'Come,  brother,   the  angels   are  waiting  for 

thee!'" 
Oh,  pale   grew  that  mother,  and  heaved  her 

heart. 
For  she  knew  her  fair  boy  from  this  world  must 

depart  1 
That  his  bright  locks  must  fade  in  the  dust  of 

the  tomb 
Ere  the  Autumn  winds  withered  the  Summer's 

rioh  bloom  I 
Oh,  how  his  young  fo»Uteps  she  wotched,  day 

by  day, 
As  his  delicate  form  wasted  slowly  away. 
Till  the  soft  light  of  heaven    seemed  shed  o'er 

bis  face. 
And  be  crept  up  to  die  in  her  loving  embrace  1 
"  Oh,    clasp  me,   dear  mother,   close,  close  to 

your  breast, 
On  that  gentle  pillow  again  let  me  rest  I 
Let  ms  once  more  goce  up  to  that  dear,  loving 

•ye. 
And  then,  oh,  methinks,  I  can  willingly  die! 
Now  kiss  me,  dear  mother!  oh,  quickly!  for  see, 
Th«  bright,  blessed  angels  are  waiting  for  me!' 


The  Canary  Bird. 

AN  EXOKLLBNT  LK880N  FOB  MY  OUILDRBK- 

(By  Mrs.  St.  Simon.) 

A  little  girl  named  Caroline  had  a 
charming  Canary  bird.  The  little  crea- 
ture sang  from  early  morning  untd  eve- 
ning ;  it  was  ft  very  beautiful  bird,  of  a 
bright  yellow,  with  a  black  head.  Caro- 
line gave  it  seeds  and  green  vegetables, 
and,  at  times,  a  peice  of  sugar,  and  every 
day  fresh  and  pure  water. 

But  all  at  once  the  little  bird  began  to 
droop;  and  one  morning,  as  CaroUne 
came  to  bring  it  water,  it  lay  dead  in  Us 

cage. 
The  little  girl  raised  loud  lamentations 


was  on  a  tree,   and  the   father  on  a  wail, 
mourning  fur  their  young.     I  cried  my- 
self, for  I  was  a   child.     I  thought,  too, 
that  the  parents  looked  on  me  as  the 
author  of  their  misery,  and  this  made  me 
still  more  unhappy.     I  wanted  to  unde- 
ceive them.    I  wanted  to  sympathize  with 
and  comfort  them.      When   I   left    the 
field,  they  followed  me   with  their  eyes, 
and  with  mournful   reproaches.     I  was 
too  young,   and  too   sincere  in  my  grief, 
to  make  any   apostrophes.    But  I  can 
never  forget  my  feelings.    The  impression 
will  never  be  worn  away,  nor  can  I  ever 
cease  to  abhor  every  species  of  inhumanity 
towards  inferior  animals.— I^r.  Channing't

The  Bioh  Man. 

Tlier^  was  a  rich  man  at  the  court  of 

King  Herod,  who  was  his  chief  chamber- 

-o-  .  ♦•       I  lain,  and  was  clothed  in  purple  and  fine 

The  little  girl  raised  loud  lamentations  ,  ^.^^^    ^^^  ^^^^^  sumptuously  every  day. 

over  the  beloved  bird,  and  wept  bitterly^     ^^^'.^  came  to  pass   that  a  friend  of  his 

But  the  child's  mother  went  and  purchased      ^^^^  ^^^^^  ^.^  ^^^^  a  distant  land, 


another,  with  colors  still  more  beautiful, 
and  which  sang  as  sweetly  as  the  former 
one,  and  placed  it  in  the  cage. 

But  the  little  girl  wept  still  more  when 
she  saw  the  new  bird. 

Then  the  mother  wondered  greatly, 
and  said,  "My  dear  child,  why  dost  thou 
still  weep  ?  why  art  thou  so  sad  ?  Thy 
tears  will  not  call  the  dead  bird  back  to 
life  again,  and  here  thou  hast  another 
equally  beautiful." 

Then  the  child  said,  "Ah,  dear  mother, 
I  have  acted  unkindly  toward  the  little 
creature,  and  1  have  not  done  all  for  it 
that  1  could  and  ought  to  have  done." 

"Dear  Lina,"  answered  the  mother, 
"thou  hast  tended  it  very  carefully." 

"Ah,  no  1"  replied  the  child.  "A  short 
time  before  its  death,  1  did  not  bring  it  a 
piece  of  sugar  which  you  gave  me  for  it, 
but  ate  it  myself."  Thus  spoke  the  little 
girl  with  a  heavy  heart. 

But  the  mother  did  not  smile  at  her 
complaints,  for  she  recognized  and  revered 
the  sacred  voice  of  nature  in  the  heart  of 

the  child. 

"Alas  I"  she  said,  "what  must  be  the 
feelings  of  an  ungreatful  child,  when  it 
stands  by  the  grave  of  its  parents  1"

Kindness  to  Birds. 

I  am  glad  I  can  say  I  have  never  killed 
a  bird.  I  would  not  crush  the  meanest 
insects  that  crawls  upon  the  ground. 
They  have  the  same  right  to  live  that  I 
have  ;  they  received  it  from  the  same 
Father,  and  I  will  not  mar  the  works  of 
Ood  by  wanton  cruelty. 

I  can  remember  an  incident  in  my 
childhood,  which  has  given  a  turn  to  my 


youth  visited  him  from  a  distant  land, 
one  whom  he  had  not  seen  for  many  years. 
And  the  chamberlain,  to  do  him  honor, 
prepared  a  rich  banquet,  and  invited  all 
his  friends. 

Now  upon  the  table  there  stood  many 
rich  and  rare  meats  in  gold  and  silver 
dishes,  and  many  rich  vessels  filled  with 
ointments  and  wines  of  various  kinds,  and 
the  rich  man  sat  at  the  uppermost  end  of 
the  table,  and  his  heart  was  glad,  and  at 
his  right  hand  sat  his  friend,  who  had 
come  from  a  distant  country,  and  they 
ate  and  dr^nk  and  were  satisfied. 

Then  the  man  from  the  distant  country 
said  to  the  chamberlain  of  King  Herod, 
'?Such  wealth  and  pomp  as  thy  house 
contains  I  have  never  beheld  in  all  the 
borders  of  my  land."  And  he  extolled 
his  splendor,  and  called  him  happy  above 
all  men  upon  the  face  of  the  earth. 

But  the  rich  man,  the  king's  chamber- 
lain, took  an  apple  from  a  dish  of  gold. 
The  apple  was  large  and  fair,  and  with- 
out was  red  as  purple.  And  he  took  the 
apple  and  said,  "Behold  this  apple  was 
laid  upon  gold,  and  it  is  exceeding  fair  to 
the  eye,"  and  he  reached  it  to  the  stran- 
ger and  friend  of  his  youth.  The  stran- 
ger cut  the  apple  in  twain,  and  lo  !  there 
was  a  worm. 

Then  the  stranger  glanced  aside  upon 
the  chamberlain— but  the  rich  man  drop- 
I)ed  his  eyes  to  the  ground,  and  sighed.

The  History  of  Newspapers. 

The  first  newspaper  was  issued  monthly,  in 
MS.  form,  in  the  republic  of  Venice,  and  was 
called  the  Gazotta,  probably  from  a  farthing 
coin  peculair  to  Venice,  and  which  was  the 
common  price  at  which  it  wna  sold. — Thiity 
volumes  of  it  arc  still  preserved  in  a  library 
at  Florence 

It  was  long  supposed   that   the  first  news- 

I  paper. published  in  England  was  at  the  epoch 

j  of  the  Spanish   Armada,  but  it  has  been  dls- 

!  covered   that  the  copies  of  that  bearing  the 

!  imprint  of  1538,  in  tbe  British   Museum,  wore 

'  forgeries.     There  was  no  doubt  that  the  puny 

ancestor  of  the  "myriads  of  broad   sheets  was 

not  published  in  London  till  1622,   150  years 

after  the  art  of  printing  had  Inen  discovered  ; 

and  it  was  nearly   100  years   more   before  a 

daily  paper   was  ventured  upon.     Periodical 

papers  seem   first  to  have  been  used  by  the 

English  during  the  times  of  the  Commonwealth, 

and  were  then  called  "  weekly  news-books." 

Some  of  them  had  most  whimsical   titles.     It 

was  common   with  the  early  papers  to  have  a 

blank  page,  which  was  sometimes  filled  ap,  in 

the  paucity  of  news,  by  selections   from   the 

scriptnres.      -  <—  • 

The  first  newspaper  that  appeared  in  North 
America  was  printed  in  Boston,  in  1690. — 
Only  one  copy  of  that  paper  is  known  to  be 
in  existence.  It  was  deposited  in  the  State 
Paber  Office  in  London,  and  was  about  the 
size  of  an  ordinary  sheet  of  letter  paper.  It 
was  stopped  by  the  government.  The  Boston 
News-Letter  was  the  first  regular  paper.  It 
wag  first  issued  in  1804,  and  was  printed  by 


John  Allen,  in  Pudding  Lane.  The  contents 
of  some  of  the  early  numbers  were  very  pecu- 
liar. It  had  a  speech  of  Queen  Anne  to 
Parliament,  delivered  120  years  previously, 
and  this  was  the  latest  news  from  England. 
In  one  of  the  early  numbers  there  was  an  an- 
nouncement that  by  order  of  the  Postmaster 
<jenerftl  of  North  America  the  post  between 
P.osto  1  and  Xew  York  set  out  once  a  fortnight, 
Negro  men,  women,  and  children  were  adver- 
tised to  be  sold  ;  and  a  call  was  made  upon  a 
woman  who  had  stolen  a  piece  of  fine  lace, 
worth  148,  a  yard,  and  upon  another  who  had 
conveyed  a  piece  of  fine  calico  under  her  riding 
hood,  to  return  the  same  or  be  exposed  in  the 
newspapers. 

The  pioneer  paper  was  published  for  74 
years;  it  was  the  leading  tory  paper  prior  to 
the  Revolution.  The  Boston  Gazette  was  the 
organ  of  the  patriots,  and  was  issued  at  Water- 
town.  At  the  commencement  of  the  Revolu- 
tionary war,  there  were  but  .37  newspapers  in 
the  United  Statts.  Of  this  number  only  8 
were  committed  to  the  British  Government, 
but  5  others  were  brought  over.  The  oldest 
existing  paper  in  Massachn.setta  was  the 
Worcheater  Spy,  first  published  in  Boston 
during  1770,  but  removed  to  the  western  part 
of  the  State  on  the  occupation  of  Boston  by 
the  British  troops. 

Our  country,  although  the  youngest  in  the 
world,  outstrips  all  others  in  tbe  number  of 
publications  and  newspapers  sold.  The  nuna- 
ber  of  copies  of  newspapers  printed  here  is 
four  times  greater  than  in  Great  Britian, 
though  England  has  twice  as  many  magazines. 

The  number  of  religions  papers  here,  and 
the  extent  of  their  circulatian,  form  a  striking 
social  characteristic— P/acer  Herald.

'here  is  one  duty  in  particular,  which  the 
spirit  of  piety  and  self-interest  will  di.  Ute  to 
yoo  :  namely,  the  consecration  o(  your  house 
by  a  dally  acknowlodgroent  of  that  power  /rom

No  bouse  can  prosper  long  without  the  be- 
nign' i»flDincc  of  the  rays  of  Religion;' no 
earthly  tic^  nin  be  enjoyed  or  borne  h»ng  unless 
the  huii(}  of  (iod  unites  them. 

-A    boost  without  (iod,  is  a  hotisc   withoot

must   need-    soon   deraij,  and    ultimat«ly  sink 
into  the  dust.     What  a  humiliatiti/^  reflection 
upon  our  a^e  is  offered  by  the  view  of  al.'  iij,'es. 
At  what  time  did  we  find  houses  without  God.  j 
or  gods''     Among  what  nations  shal!  we   lo.ik  j

Oh,  better,  niuch  better  to  be  a  polytbeist  than  I 
an  atheist. ;  better  to  have  many  gods  than  "to  j 
have  none  ;  better   to  have  a  heathen ,  than  a  j 
'iodlesB  boasehold  !     When  Moses,  in  hissjl- 
cmu  addrett.,  before  his  final  departure,  reproved  i 
ancient  Israel,  he  did  not  complain  of  their 
"^  sapcrstition  (a  word  so  often   abused    by  the 
negative  powet-H  among  us)  ;  he  did  not  inveigh  j 
against  their  idolatries,  but  hi«  heart  yfa.*nod  1 
at  this  negative  clement  in  Israel,  at  the  chil-  } 
dren  who  have "^no  faith  m  them— the  -  Banim  I 
lo  aimoou  bam.'" — Deut.  32  :  20.  I 

Perhaps  they,  like  our  age,  were  prolessors — 
they  would  not  be  ashamed,  on  certain  occa- 
sions — say,  at  marriages,  births  and  deaths—  ! 
to  allow  words  pertaining  to  Religion,  to  be 
spoken  iu  thoir  houses,  and  even,  wmetnnen  at 
the  table.  But  such  is  not  at  what  we  hint 
here  :  such  householders  !  they  belong  to  the 
clase  over  whose  fate  the  inspired  writer  wept, 
bccfkuse  they  are  "  children  (though  they  do 
not  own  their  Father,  he  yet  calls  them  chil- 
dren) who  have  no  faith  within  tliem.  Time 
and  oircemstances  have  removed  them  from  the 
raOr^  influences  enjoyed  in  by-gone  days — in 
^  'their  childhood,  in  their  native  land — now  no 
God  i8,V»  be  found  wtthin  them,  they  are  "  ba- 
btm  K)  ftimoun  bam."  May  yonr  heart  and 
'jour  honae  be  a  receptacle  of*  the  great  and 
bountiful  Friend  and  Father.  I>et  there  be 
an  attar  in  your  house  inscribed  with  the  ador- 
able name  of  your  Creator.  Here  let  the 
master  be  dally  found,  presenting,  as  the 
minister  of  God,  the  ofiferings  of  prayer  and 
praise. 

By  this  acknowledgment  of  God,  a  married 
pair  evidence  their  reverence  of  his  being ;  they 
draw  down  his  blessing  on  their  family  ;  they 
diffuse  a  spirit  of  seriousness  through  it ;  and 
probably  convey  the  seeds  of  piety  into  many 
other  fiHoailiea.    What  objects  arc  these  to  the 
;    formers  of  a  new  household  !    Aud  how  careful 
should  they  be  to  unite  their  respective  powers 
in  endeavoring  to  render  that  effectual,  which 
has  each  happy  tendencies!    The  beneflccnt 
effect  bt  having  united  in  the  morning  in  the 
worship  of  God,  will  extend  over  every  action 
during  the  day  ;  it  will  exert  a  powerful  influ- 
ence over  all  the  domestic  concerns,  and  become 
the  means  of  blessings  to  them  and  to  future 
^gW^fations.     Can  that  voice  which  now  hum- 
bly acknowledges  its  failings  before  a  forgiving 
Father  above,  bo  raised   harshly  against  the 
mJDpr  inadvertencies  of  a  wife?    Can   that 
toof«f,  now  lisping  the  praise  of  God  in  uni- 
son with  the  wife— can  it,  a  lihort  time  after, 
dart  poisoned  arrows  into  her  heart  ?     Can 
thai  wife,  who  daily  appears  side  by  side  with 
jjjer  husband,  before  Him  in  whose  name  they

■pect  and  reverence  towards  parents  most  not 
it  inspire. 

Your  dresses,  your  pleasures,  your  ball!>  will 
one  day  be  but  reminiscences  of  sorrow  and 
regret ;  yourself  will  have  left  these  scentb, 
and  be  mingled  with  the  dudt— (he  fortunes 
heaped  by  prudent  or  avaricious  parents,  la 
vished  by  thoughtless  and  improvident  chil- 
dren. But  one  tho'jght  will  remain,  and  send 
blessings  after  yon — it  is  the  sacred  lesson 
learned,  and  the  holy  performances  witnessed 
in  the  patt  rnal  house. 

Next  to  this,  let  me  advise  you  to  an-itber 
duty  ;  though  of  leas  importance,  is  yetcf  great 
moment,  it  is  that  of  forming  a  system  of 
family  government,  and  determining  to  ad- 
here.to  it.  An  expedient  which  you  will  find 
to  be  a  source  of  numberless  advantages  ;  and 
much  more  necessary  to  [)er8onal  and  social 
happiness,  than  at  first  may  be  conc'elved. 
Where  there  is  nrder,  there  i^  sKenee,  facility, 
und  energy. 

Among  the  point*  to  which  order  should 
extenid,  there  is  none  of  greater  importance 
than  the  proper  distribntion  of  time.  Have  a 
flxfd  "hour  fbr  ri?ing,  for  devotion,  and  for 
meals.  Let  there  be  an  appropriate  portion 
of  time  for  every  office,  and  for  the  labors,  or 
recreations  of  every  member  of  your  family. 

How  pleasintr  in  this  respect,  is  the  hoa!?e 
of  JUtisehiw! !  He  hafi  the  happiness  of  hav- 
ing a  companion,  who,  in  her  province,  acts 
with  him  in  the  maintenance  of  a  well  digested 


dple  azisting  that  would  lead  tbem  either  to 
forgiin^  injaries,  or  snppreM  resantaietit,  tnutual 
offences  are  multiplied,  and  the  quantity  of 


Foreign  Items. 

Bkrun.— Dr.  Samter  is  the  first  Ztsm'xki 

trict  judge  appointed  under  the  new  conji 


system  of  domestic  govcrnraeat.  There  is  an 
appointed  hour  for  breakfast  ;  after  which  (it 
being  on  the  whole  then  most  convenient)  all 
assemble  to  pay  their  devout  ackuowledgments 
to  God  for  the  mercies  of  the  preceding  night. 
After  this  every  one  withdraws  to  his  respectr 
ive  employment.  This  exhibition  of  order 
with  which  you  are  presented  in  the  morning, 
is  but  a  specimen  of  what  may  be  seen  throngh 

the  day.    On  the  Sabbath you  perceive 

the  like  regularity.     After  breakfast,  the  fam 
ily  are  as,semblcd  to  prayers.     They  are  en- 


What  wemder   is  it,  then,  to  hear  of  dire  diy- 
tKBs  in  such  a  family  ? 

But  many  of  the  evils  procee«ling  from  irre- 
ligion  are  concealed   from    public  eyes.     And 
were  all  the  grief,  the  loathing,  the  hatred,  the 
remorse,  the  apprehensions  which  are  cxperi 
cnced,  as  conspicious  as  the  actions  to  which 
they  give  birth,  we  should  not  even  then  have 
a  complete  view  of  the  case.     We  must  follow 
the  guilty  pair  into  the  eternal   world,  if  we 
would  ascertain  all  the  effects  of  their  impiety. 
We  must  hear  their  reproaches.    We  must  see 
them,  who  once  exchanged  vows  of  eternal 
tenderness,  transformed  into  beings  of  the  most 
hostil«  dispositions  towards  each  other ;  and 
meeting  on^y  to  augment  their  mutual  accusa 
tiuns.    This  is  the  dreadful  end  to  which  the 
history  of  an  irreli^ous  couple  tends. 

The  Rabbles  very  ingeniously  remark  that 
the  Hebrew  name  for  Husband  is  h"* ;  for 
W  ife  Ishak  :  being  written  exactly  alike,  with 
the  difference  of  the  Iod  in  hk  which  is  drop- 
ped in  Ishak  ;  and  the  Ha  in  Ishuh,  which  is 
not  to  be  found  in  hit.  These  two  disliuctive 
letters,  combined,  give  Jh — the  name  of  God  ; 
drop  these  two  letters  and  there  remains  Auh — 
••  fire"  :  hence,  they  say,  where  the  husband  and 
wife  allow  their  nnion  to  be  in  and  with  God, 
He  will  take  his  abode  in  their  hou.<ie,  and 
happiness  will  be  their  share  ;  take  out  that 
Holy  name  "  Jah,"  and  there  remains  Jrsh — 
"  fire;" 


wr — can  she  so  easily  desert  hini^and  prove 
laithlesfl  7    And  can  the  father 


I  the  father  who  now  brings 


joined  to  attend  this  .service  in  the  same  dress 
in  which  they  are  to  appear  in  the  house  of 
God  ;  that  the  preparation  of  their  persons 
may  not  be  deferred  to  toi  late  an  hour,  and 
that,  instead  of  spending  the  last  minute  at 
the  glass,  there  may  be  a  little  time  for  reflec- 
tion or  private  devotion,  previous  to  their 
attendance  on  pnblic  worship.  All  being  thus 
ready,  at  a  few  minutes'  notice,  they  arc  easily 
collected,  and  they  proceed,  as  a  united  and 
regular  family,  to  church. 

You  perceive  nothing  like  distraction  in  this 
house.  Every  one  knows  what  he  has  to  do. 
Nor  is  the  sound  judgnunt  of  the  Buperinten- 
denta  more  conspioaons  than  the  happitiens  of 
the  members  of  this  family.  Indeed,  order  is 
to  be  recommended  from  its  tendency  to  ren 
der  every  one  comfortable.  It  was  this  excel- 
lency and  happy  tendendy  of  order,  exhibited 
on  a  large  scale,  that  contribnted  very  mnch 
to  raise  the  royal  visitor  of  (Solomon  to  that 
high  pitch  of  admiration,  in  which  she  exclaim- 
ed, "  Happy  are  thy  men,  happy  are  these  thy 
servants,  which  stand  and  hear  thy  wisdom 
continually." 

The  evil  eflSacts  of  disregarding  God  are 
seldom  more  shockingly  exhibited  than  in  the 
history  of  an  irreligious  couple.    Here,  where 
the  greatest  temporal  enjoyments  might  be 
found,   there  arc  frequency  experienced  the 
most  exquisite  of  human  miseriea.     The  fear 
of  God  being  wanting,  the  union  becomes  a 
source  of  incessant  woes.     How  can  it  be 
otherwise,  with  those  whose  nature  is  depraved, 
and  who,  living  without  any  acknowledgment 
of  God,  are  tfnder  no  superior  influence  to 
regqlate  their  temper,  and  to  prevent  the  vio- 
lence to  which  nngovcrned  passions  are  subject  ? 
They  become  the  tempters  and  puniehcrs  of 
each  other.    Offences  are  given  ;  and  no  prin- 


Munificent  Donations. 

Among  a  number  of  other  acts  of  libcrfJity, 
we  take  the  following  from  the  Home  and  For- 
eign Record.  In  an  age  when  the  most  trivial 
acts  of  liberality  are  blazoned  forth  with  sten- 
torian voices — when  every  trivial  transaction, 
under  the  color  of  Religion,  is  magnified  into 
an  important  item,  the  simple-minded  friend  of 
trath  will  be  pleased  with  the  unoatentatious 
manner  in  which  the  following,  indeed,  munifi- 
cent gifts  arc  recorded  by  our  neighbors  : 

'•  Mr.  E.  H.  Porter,  of  Memphis,  Tennessee. 
has  donated  10,000  acres  of  Arkansas  land,  to 
the  Presbyterian  College,  at  Danville,  Ky. 
The  gift  is  valued  at  $50,000.  The  donor  had 
previously  given  10,000  acres  of  land  in  the 
same  State,  to  the  Methodist  Synodical  (Col- 
lege at  La  Grange,  Tenn." 

"  At  the  recent  meeting  in  behalf  of  Church 
Extension  held  in  the  church  of  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Potts,  in  Now  York,  the  wants  of  the  German 
Presbyterian  congregation,  of  which  Rev.  Mr. 
Steins  is   pastor,  were  presented,  with  other 
pressing  claims.     This   people  are  now  wor- 
shipping in  a  hall   which  is  crowded  to  over- 
flowing,   and    under  circumstances    of  groat 
inconvenience  and  discomfort.    It  was  under- 
stood that  a  Baptist   meeting-house  was  for 
sale  on  the  corner  of  Madison  and  Montgomery 
streets,   in  the  same  street  and  a   few  doors 
above  the    Rutgers   Female    Institute,   and 
capable   of  seating  eight  hundrcel   and  sixty 
persons ;  a  brick  building,  furnished  completely 
with  lecture  and  school  rooms  attached.    We 
have  great  pleasure  in  stating  that  tv^o  gen- 
tlemen   of    Dr.    Alexander's    church    have 
purchased  the  property,  aud  given  the  free  use 
of  it  to  Mr.  Steins  and  his  people  ;  and  that 
ou  the  next  Sabbath-day,  unless  some  unfore- 
seen providence  prevent,  the  congregation  will 
enter  their  n^w  and  commodious  house. 


Dr.  Duff,  speaking  of  the  railroads  that  have 
recently  been  constructed  at  Calcutta,  says 
that  some  of  the  old  incrednlous  Brahmins,  in 
Bengal,  when  pursnaded  to  be  eye  witnesses, 
have  been  seen  knocking  their  foreheads  in  a 
sort  of  ag3ny,  and  exclaiming,  as  the  mighty 
train  rolled  swiftly  along,  that  India  himself, 
their  god  of  firm.-imcnt,  had  no  such  carriage 
03  that. 


It  is  calculated,  that  the  synagogaali

dedicated  with  solemn  dedication  service. 
Rabbi    Sanger  efficiateel  ;  the  school  chi!4 
formed  the  choir.     Individuals  as  well  aasoi 
societies    contributed    liberally    towanls

Hx^cjcovca,  March    9^— The    CommeK 
Coonseller,  Simon,  presented  the  .congregaii 
with  the  sum  of  3800  thalers  in  gold  ;  tbet 
received  by  his  father,  in  the  year  1821,  fn 
the  congregation  for  a  piece  of  property  wbi| 
he  sold  to  them.    The  son  now  evinced 
spirit  of  liberality  and  filial  piety  by  donatiij 
this   sum,   in  view  of  having  some  men 
erected  to  his  father  by  the  congregation,  a 
of  having  the  donation  act  incorporated 
the  documents  of  the  same.     The  sum 
accepted  :  and  a  tablet  is  to  be  affixed  iu 
vestibule   of  the  house  alluded  to  above, 
commemoration  of  this  liberal  act.

The  Authors  of  the  Canonical  Books 

of  the  Bible. 

(aCCORDINO   TO  TlIK   TALMITO  ) 

According  to  Treatise  Baba  Bathra,  page 
14,  are  the  following  :  "  Moses  wrote  his  book, 
the  Chapter  of  Bileam  and  Job;  Joshua: 
his  book,  and  the  last  eight  verses  of  the  Ptn^ 
tateuch  :  Samuel  :  his  book.  Judges  aud  Buth  ; 
David  :  the  }*salm3,[bnt  assisted  by  others  ;1 
J.iremiah  :  his  book,  the  book  of  Kings  and 
the  lamentations;  Hezekiah  and  his  ootem- 
poraries  collected  :  Isaiah,  Proverbs,  Canticles 
and  Ecclesiastes ;  the  Men  of  the  great  syna- 
gogue :  Esekiel,  the  twelve  minor  Prophets, 
Daniel  and  Esther  ;  Ezra,  his  book,  and  tiie 
Chronicles." 

The  most  remarkable  passage  in  this  Tal- 
mudical  quoUtion  ia  that  the  TalmudiaU  al- 
ready dared  to  express  the  opinion  that  the 
last  eight  verses  of  the  Pentateuch  were  not 
written  by  Moses  himself. 

tSfA.  critical  exposition,  on  this  i5#ry(Aa, 
was  writtin  by  Rabbi  Nachman  Crochmel,  and 
ia  published  iu  Kerem  Chemed,  in  1841.

Scald  Hbad.— This  is  totally  unlike  the 
sore-head  disease  :  brown-colored  scabn  appear 
on  the  crown  of  the  head,  which  discharge  a 
glutinous  matter,  and  unite  the  hair,  so  as  to 
prevent  their  being  scpcrated  with  a  comb  : 
these  scabs  continue  to  spread  until  they  oc- 
cupy the  whole  of  the  scalp. 

Keep  tho  hair  cut  aa  close  as  possible,  wash 
the  head  with  a  strong  solution  of  soap  and 
water,  night  and  morning  ;  as  soon  as  it  can 
be  done,  instead  of  cutting  the  hair  with 
scissors,  let  it  be  shaved  close  once  a  day. 

Every  one  has  a  remedy  for  this  complaint ; 
perhaps  the  following  ointment  will  bo  found 
one  of  the  most  effective:  Take  Barhadoes 
tar,  one  ounce ;  thn  dust  of  the  Ijrcoperdon,  or 
puff  fungus,  one  drachm.  Mix  them  well 
together,  and  rub  in  a  part  of  it  to  the  roots 
of  the  hair,  after  washing  the  head  with  soap 
and  water.  P>y  steadily  persevering  in  these 
means,  aud  giv  ing  an  occasional  purge,  the 
cure  will  soon  be  accomplished.

LADIES'    UNITED    HEBREW 

Benevolent  Society, 

On  HUNUAY  EVKNl.NG,  Miy  2i,  IHiu. 
At  7'.  O'clock. 

The  Lftdies'  United  Hobrcw  Benevolent  So- 
c'ely  of  San  Francisco,  signalizes  itself  by  the 
proin|it  and  ready  assistance  which  is  rendered 
to  those  whom  necessity  compels  to  appeal  for 
asBistance. 

]3ot  independent  of  pecuniary  aid,  we  are 
glad  to  learn  that  ladies,  whoso  sphere  it  is  to 
visit  the  sick  or  otberwisa  to  devote  a  portion 
of  their  tirnc  to  acts  of  charity,  do  it  in  a 
Kpirit  that  cannot  fail  to  relieve  many  a  sinking 
heart,  and  to  pour  the  balm  of  coiisolatioo  upon 
jDii^y  a  wound  inflicted  by  poverty  and  want. 

'While  other  societies  miiy  Hod  means  to  pro 
vide  fur  the  fature,  the  Ladies' Uniftd  Hebrew 
Benevolent  Society  thinks  it  the  first  duty  to 
relive  th«  WtUiU  of  tb«  pf««euti  ;  «t»^  ms  tkr 
bard  times  under  which  oar  state,  during  some

Bociety  gratefully  acknowledges  the  kindness  of 
Mensrs.  Lee  A  Bennett,  as  a  mean^  of  again 
getting  fuods  in  band  ;  and  appeals  to  the 
benevolent  portion  of  our  commnnity  for  a 
Duiueruus  attendance  at  the  Benefit  noticed 
above. 


Harmonic  Society. 

Wc  invite  the  attention  ofonrcity  readers 
to  the  first  concert  which  this  society  of  ama- 
teur inasiciansarc  going  to  give  next  Tuesday 
evening,  May  2(;th,  at  Musical  Hall,  Bush  St. 

The  general  opinion  is  that  we  never  heard 
aay  performance  of  sacred  music  in  this  city 
equal  to  what  we  moy  expect  at  these  concerts- 
"We  hope  that  the  general  interest  which  th« 
•nnoanceaient  of  these  performances  have  ex- 
cited with  the  press,  will  be  seconded  by  the 
public  at  large  ;  so  that  our  musical  talent 
will  meet  with  tbatencouragement  which  is 

due  to  it,  from  an  intelligent  community.

Pious   Resignation. 

INKLl'KNOK  or  HBLIOION. 

Fenclon,  Archbishop  of  Cambria,  uniformly 
practised  the  law,  "  overcome  evil  with  good. " 
Thus  he  won  all  hearts.    The  peasantry  loved 
him  us  their  father — and  long  after  bis  death, 
their  tears  would  flow,  when  they  said,  "  There 
is  the  chair  on  which  oor  good  Archbishop 
DBcd  to  sit  in  the  midst  of  us  ;    we  shall  sec 
him  no  more. "    His  uoiform  mildness  gained 
him  respect  and  protection  even  from  the  foes 
of  his  country.      His  diocese   was  often  the 
theatre  of  war— but  the  English,  Germans  and 
Dutch  even  surpassed  the  inhabitants  of  Cam- 
bria in  their  veneration  for  him.     At  such 
times,  he  gathered  the  wretched   in  his  palace, 
and  CQtoftained  them,  for  his  dwellings  were 
safe,  even  when  armies  were  burning  towns 
areund  him.    All  loved  him— and   the  reason 
was,  he  carried  out  the  noble  principle,  "  Ovcr- 
coine  evil  with  good. "' 


(temnambnliam. 

If  our  physical  wants  and  oor  moral  fuiiiogs 
are  calculated  to  teach  us  humility,  for- 
bearance, and  filial  reliance  to  a  higher  |)o\\>  r 
—if  thus  even  our  failings  may  become  u 
meaiia  of  our  eleva  ion  ;  the  fact  that  thire 
are  states  in  which  man  per fo<ms   most  as'oit- 

he  moves,  acts,  executes  wonderful  mechanical 
and  mental   operations   auton»aticaMy,  cannot 
fail  to  teach  us  the    u-eful   lesson  of  judging  of 
the  failings  of  our   neighbors   with   leniency 
and  charity.     For  those  teachers  and  authori* 
who  have  taught  and    written  so  much   ab  ut 
the  free  agency  of  man.  were  mostly  just  such 
OS   were  little  actjuaintcd   with  the  constitu- 
tion of  man.     It  was   thus   that   the  original 
error  of  one  age  w.is   perpetuated  by   the  false 
veneration  of  their   aucccssors,   while  the  fact 
is  moral  fr^e  agency   has  as  narrow  u  scop  •  as 
our   physical  freedom.     We  are  bound  by  the 
laws  which  we  cannot  trespass  ;  wc  are  rej)e!- 
led  from  and  drawn  into  actions  by  thousands 
of  agencies  and  powers  around  us  of  which  we 
have  no  idea,  and    it  is  only  an   extraordinary 
case,  that  our  helplessness  is  brought  .to  view. 
Our  object  in  citing   the  following  facts  is 
to   repress    this,  our    modern    spirit  of  self 
apotheosis  which  denies  most   facts  because  it 
is     acquainted    with    the    least,    and     which 
wishes  to  remove   the  Deity  from  His  sacred 
throne  and  to  set  reason,  human  reaon  in  His 
steud. 


Anoter  lessou  may  be  derived  from  the  fol- 
lowing facts  :  that  is,  not  to  be  harsh  in  our 
judgment  in  certain  cases.  We  learn  from 
what  follows,  that  there  are  states  in  which 
men  may  commit  even  nuirdcr  and  suicide 
without  their  knowledge. 

We,  however,  do  not  wish  to  disculpate 
such  actions,  we  even  believe  them  to  be 
mere  reflex  of  the  mind  while  in  a  waking  state  ; 
but  wc  merely  claim  a  charitable  judgment  in 
matters  of  which  wc  have  so  little  knowledge. 

"  The  crew  of  the  revenue  boat,  on  the  coast 
of  Ireland,  about  two  o'clock  in  the  morning, 
picked  up  a  man  iwimming  in  llie  water.  He 
had,  it  appeared,  left  liis  house  about  twelve, 
and  walked  two  tniles  over  a  most  dangeroti* 
path,  and  hcul  steam  about  o)ie  mile.  After  he 
was  taken  into  the  boat  he  could  not  be  per- 
suadtd  that  he  was  not  still  in  his  warm  bed 
at  home. 

In  1834  Marie  l*an  was  admitted  into  the 
hospital  at  Bordeanx,  France  ;  her  left  arm  and 
hand  covered  with  deep  and  bleeding  gashes, 
its  tendons  projecting,  and  the  bones  broken. 
She  had,  in  her  sleep,  gone  into  a  loft  to  cut 
wood  with  a  hedging  bill ;  thinking  she  was 
cutting  the  wood,  she  had  hacked  her  forearm 
and  hand  until  she  fainted  away  and  fell,  bathed 
in  her  own  blood.  She  luul  felt  no  pain,  but 
merely  a  sensation,  as  if  the  parts  were  pricked 
with  pins. 

In  1832  some  fishermen  near  Breast,  in 
France,  were  surprised  at  finding,  at  two 
o'clock  in  the  morning,  a  boy  about  twelve 
years  of  age,  up  to  his  waist  in  the  sea,  fishing 
for  flounders,  of  which  he  drew  up  five  or  six. 
Their  surprise,  however,  was  increased  to  won- 
der when,  on  approaching  him,  they  found  he 
was /as/  asleep.  He  was  taken  home  and  put 
to  bed,  but  was  immediately  afterwards  at- 
tacked with  a  raging  fever. 

The  case  of  the  somnambule,  of  Dresden,  is 
well  known  in  (rermany ;  we,  however,  may  bo 
allowed  to  give  it  space  in  our  columns  for  the 
des'rable  object  which  we  have  in  view  by  this 
article  : 

In  18—,  says  the  Augsburg  Gazette,  Dres- 
den was  the  scene  of  a  melancholy  spectacle. 
As  early  as  seven  o'clock  in  the  morning  a 
female  was  seen  walking  on  the  roof  of  one  of 
the  loftiest  houses  in  the  city,  apparently  oc- 
cupied in  preparing  some  ornaments  as  a 
Christmas  present.  The  house  stood  as  it 
were  alone,  being  much  higher  than  those 
adjoining  it,  and  to  draw  her  from  her  perilous 
situation  was  impocsible.    Thousands  of  spec-

tators  bad  osaembled  in  the  streets.  It  was 
discovered  to  be  a  handsome  girl,  nineteen 
ye8r<  of  age,  the  daughter  of  a  master  baker, 
posst-asing  a  small  independence,  be(]ueat  bed  to 
h  r  by  her  mother.  She  continued  her  terrific 
promenade  for  hours,  at  limes  sitting  on  the 
parnpet  and  dressing  her   hair.     The  police 


in  his  sleep,  crossed  the  Beine,  fonght  a  duel, 
and  killed  his  antagonist,  without  recollectio" 
any  of  the  circumstances  when  awake.

A  Lesson  to  Mothers. 
A  iierson  in  rather  a  high  position  has  just 
obtained  from  the  Civil  Tiibuoal  of  the  Seine, 
eamoto    the   spot,  and  vRrinna  mpnns  of  pre    i  (Efuncc.)  a  separation  from   his  wjfe,  withjhe 


servation,  in  case  of  her  falling  down,  were 
resorted  to.     In  a  few  minutes  the  street  was 
thickly  strewn  with  straw,  and  beds  were  called 
for  from    the  house  ;  but  the  heartless  father, 
influenced   by  the  girl'a  step-mother,   refuted 
them.     Nets  were  suspended  from  the  balcony 
of  th"  first  floor,  and  the   neighbors  fastened 
sheets   to  their   windows.     All  this  time  the 
poor  girl  was  walking  in  perfect  unconecions- 
ness  ;  sometimes   gazing  at  the  sky,   and  at 
others  singing  or  talking  to   herself.     Some 
persons  succeeded   in  getting  on  the  roof,  but 
dared  not   approach  her  for  fear  of  the  conse- 
quences if  they  awoke  her  ;  for  any  thing  that 
would  have  startled  her,  would  have  caused  an 
instantaneous  fall   from    the  roof.     Towards 
eleven  o'clock  she  approached  the  very  verge 
of  the  parapet,  leaned  forward  and  gazed  upon 
the  multitude   beneath  ;  terror  seized   every 
spectator  below — every  one  felt  that  the  mo- 
ment of  the  catastrophe    had   arrived — here 
was  an  unfortunate   human  being  pending  be. 
tween  heaven  and  earth,  between  life  and  death 
— 80  full  of  life  and  yet  so  near  death.     How- 
ever, she  rose  up,  and   returned  calmly  to  the 
window  by  which  she  had  got  out      But  when 
she  saw  there  were  lights  in   the  room,  she 
uttered  a  piercing  shriek,  which  was  re-echoed 
by  thousands  below,  and  fell    into  the  street, 
never  to  rise  again. 

When  she  had  regained  the  window,  the 
anxious  multitude  thought  ner  safe  ;  she  had 
passed  the  most  perilous  part  of  our  ambula- 
tions :  she  had  descended  the  roof,  and  climbed 
from  the  top,  on  the  perpendicular  wall,  to  her 
chamber — to  the  light. 

But,  alas  !  such  are  human  calculations  and 
expectations.  We  think  we  have  overcome 
•danger,  and  we  are  on  the  very  brink  of  ruin  ; 
we  think  we  have  reached  the  lisht,  and  the 
very  Fplendor  startles  and  dazzles  us — and  we 

FALL. 

A  boy  dreamed  that  he  got  out  of  be«l,  and 
ascended  to  the  summit  of  an  enormous  rock, 
where  he  found  an  eagle's  nest,  which  he 
brought  away  with  him,  and  placed  it  under 
bis  bed.  Now,  the  whole  of  these  events 
actually  took  place  ;  and  what  he  conceived, 
on  awaking,  to  be  a  mere  dream,  was  found  to 
have  had  an  actual  existence,  by  the  nest 
being  found  in  the  precise  spot  where  he  im- 
agined he  ho  had  put  it,  and  by  the  evidence 
of  the  spectators  who  beheld  his  perilous  ad- 
venture. The  precipice  which  he  ascended 
was  of  a  nature  which  must  have  baflled  the 
most  export  mountaineer,  and  such  as,  at 
other  times,  he  could  not  have  scaled. 

Gassendi  speaks  of  a  man  who  often  rose 
in  his  sleep,  went  into  a  cellar  and  drew  wine, 
appearing  to  see  in  the  dark  as  in  the  day  . 
but  when  he  awoke,  either  in  the  cellar  or  in 
the  street,  was  obliged  to  grope  his  way  back 
to  bed.  He  often  thought  there  was  not 
light  enough,  and  thought  he  had  risen  to 
early  and  therefore  struck  a  light.  He  tells 
of  another  who  pa-ssed  on  stilts  "  over  a  tor- 
rent asleep  one  night,  and  on  awaking  was 
afraid  to  retarn  before  daylight,  and  before 
the  water  had  subsided." 

Professor  Upham,  of  Bowdoin  College^ 
speaks  of  u  farmer  who  rose  in  his  sleep,  went 
to  his  barn,  and  threshed  out  five  bushels  of 
rye  in  the  dark,  seperating  the  grain  from  the 
straw  with  great  exactness. 

In  1686,  Lord  Culpepper's  brother  was  in- 
dicted at  the  Old  B  liley,  for  shooting  one  of 
the  guards  and  his  horse.  He  pleaded  som- 
nambulism, and    was  acquitted  on  producing 


right  of  keeping  his  child,  in  consequence  of 
the  following  circumstances  :  The  child  bad 
the  measles,  and  its  medical  attendant  declared 
its  life  to  be  in  danger,  but  the  mother  never- 
theless continued  to  prepare  her  toilette  for  an 
evening  party  to  which  she  had  been  invited. 
"  You  cannot  leave  the  child,  who  is  dying," 
exclaimed  the  husband.  The  wife  replied  that 
it  was  impossible  for  her  to  remain  away  from 
the  party  withoat  breaking  her  promise,  and 
being  guilty  of  a  want  of  politeness.  The 
husband  again  remonstrated  with  her,  but  in 
vain  :  she  insisted  on  goiug  to  the  party,  if  only 
for  an  hour.  The  husband  then  informed  her 
that  if  she  carried  her  intention  into  execution 
the  doors  wiuld  be  closed  against  her  on  her 
return.  The  wife  left  for  the  party,  but  on 
her  return  home  was  refused  admittance.  The 
tribunal  has  decided  that  the  hu.4band  was  per- 
fectly justified,  and  has  furthermore  ruled  that 
a  wife  who  forsakes  her  child  in  illness  forfeits 
her  conjugal  rights. 

A  Mermaid. 
The  Yarmouth  (.Vla.ss.)  Eegisler  states  that 
about  a  week  ago,  ns  Mr.  H.  S.  i>ih  and  Benj. 
Higgins,  two  reliable  residents  of  Eastbam, 
were  going  off  the  flats  on  the  flood  tide,  with 
their  large  boats,  to  catch  blue  fish,  when  about 
three  quarters  of  the  way  down  the  flats,  they 
discovered  a  fish  of  a  very  singular  appearance, 
on  the  bottom,  in  about  five  feet  of  water. 
The  fish  started  when  they  were  about  fifteen 
feet  from  it :  it  protruded  its  head  out  of 
water — and,  to  use  the  expression  of  Mr.  Hig- 
gins, "  I  did  not  believe  any  thing  could  look 
so  much  like  a  woman.  "  it  looked  straight 
at  them,  and  had  scales  on  its  face  like  the 
back  of  an  alligator.  The  features  of  the 
face  were  made  for  biauty,  but  the  cerebellum 
was  what  Fowler  calls  a  Judus  J,  firmness  ter- 
ribly developed,  with  the  other  qualities  want- 
ing. If  there  ever  was  a  mermaid,  tbey  say 
they  have  seen  one.  It  appeared  to  be  about 
fifteen  feet  long,  of  a  very  whitish  color,  ex- 
cept the  tail,  which  was  nearly  black.  When 
it  moved,  it  went  face  downward,  but  turned 
over  when  it  put  its  head  out,  which  made  it 
exactly  face  towards  them.  It  put  its  head 
out  twice,  and  they  had  a  perfect  view  of  it  ; 
and  no  living  person  can  convince  them  but 
that  they  have  £ccn  a  mermaid. 


Daxvillr,  Pa. — The  Congregation  at  this 
place  appears  to  be  flouris}iing  under  the  charge 
of  the  Rev.  E.  Ophknheim.  The  Montour 
American  published  at  Danville,  under  the 
bead  of  "  Home  Sketches,"  gives  a  brief  ac- 
count of  the  origin  of  the  synagogue,  and  bears 
testimony  to  the  standing  of  the  people  in  the 
following  paragraph  : 

"As  a  people  the  Jews,  are  not  apt  to  strive 
for  official  place  or  patronage,  the  majority 
arc  engaged  in  mercantile  trade,  ever  pursuing 
the  tenor  of  their  way,  and  mingling  but  little 
in  popular  excitement  of  any  kind.  They 
number  among  them  some  of  the  excellent  men 
of  our  community,  and  although  we  are  a 
Gentile  and  publish  an  American  Paper,  yet 
we  have  found  warm  friends  and  valuable 
patrons,  among  them,  social  friends  and  good 
citizens  :  such  has  been  our  experience  since  we 
came  to  this  place,  such  are  our  impressions 
of  the  ancient  people  of  God." 

The  Danville  Synag  >gne  was  organized  a 
little  more  than  three  years  ago,  numbering  at 
that  time  only  seven  members,  who  were  place<l 
under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  II.  Frendich.

Sinai. 

More  than  three  thousand  years  have  poissed 
since  the  memorable  event,  that  took  pla^w  on 
that  mount,  has  invested  it  with  a  charm  wSich 
strikes  even  the  unbeliever.  At  every  step 
the  traveller  approaches,  the  scene  becomes 
more  solemn  and  imprestive— a  spontaneous 
voice  tells  the  traveller  thutliie«»oveB on  ground 
sacred  to  the  memory  of  the  best  men  that 
ever  sojourned  on  earth.  We  will  now  let 
travellers  8j)eak  : 

"  We  had  followed   the  Israelites  from  the 


They  f  these  onr  <^  frtt  tipfl*  the  fbr(i«ss-lth*%{|lis 
and  o^mplicatod 'bitddingt  oftheoqiivftnl^^to-

press-treee.     We  were  in   Wady   sKueib, '.  or 
Vale  of  Jetf^o,  where  Moses  beheld  the  "  butm 
iug  bush."    In  a  few  minu'es  we  halted  und«r 
eim  is  at  pres-  I*  the  walla  of  tin  convent,  and,  loosing  up  to 
ie  is  |4h<»  only  entijftlj^g,  thirty  iect  from  ihe giQuM^ 
iWe  saw  the  long,  venerable  beard  and  fine  face 
iof  the  reverebd  superior,  who,  having  receive* 
jftur  letter,  sent  forward  by  one  of  the  Bedouins 
iseveral  days   before,   looked    down  upon  us 
/bcffiguantly,  afld  said,  "  Welcome  .'  the  house 
is  yours."    For  the  safety  of  ike  place  against 
the  Arabs,  great  caution   is  ustd  to  prevent 
admission  to  the  convent.     For  this  purpose, 
there  is  an  opening  in  the   wall  abont  30  feet 
from  the  ground,  from  -which  a^indlass  with 
-  a  bosket  is  let  down  by  means  of  which  stran- 
gers, afcer  hiiving  produced  their  credentials, 
are  boiatSed  up.    However,  there  is  a  private 
entrance,  through   which,  occasionally,  even 
strangers  are  admitted.    Then  we  rode,  says 
Miss  Martenean  over  shelves  of  rock  up  to  th^ 
convent,  and  past  its   inclosure   walls,  which 
re  of  various  dates  and   materials,  but  chiefly 
f  large  crude  bricks,  with   occasionally  heavy 
locks  of  stone.     Some   travelers'   tents   were 


latter,  sweeping  round  northeast  to  Horeb. 
We  turned  to  the  right,  through  Wady  Solaf, 
directly  to  the  foot  of  the  mo^mt^in  pass 
called  Nnkbel  Deir,  or  ppgo  in  ti(^ony<eni 
For  two  boars  we  ascended  this  wiltf^lpiif'osir 
paps,  enclosed  between  stopendofas'ipanrte 
cliflfe,  whose  debris  encumbered  the  Sfefile, 
often  rendering  the  passage  difiScBll  fto^.dan- 
gercns.  Escaping  from  the  pass,  .we4|fr&ised 
the  head  of  a  basin-like  plain  which  divined 
to  the  southwest,  and,  ascending  gradually, 
gloomy,   precipitous  mountain  masses  rose  to 


Nile  to   the  junction  of  Wady  Feiran  with 

Wady    Sheikh.      TlTeSr  passed    through  the  •;«"<ier  the  walls,  and  groups  of  Arab  boys  were 

(loitering  about.    The   windlass  at  the  place  of 

'entrance  was  at  work,  and  monks  looked  upon 

us  from   the   terrace   on    the   walls.     Mr.  Y. 

went  up  by  the   windlass,  after  his   letter,  to 

present  his  re.=ipect8  to  the  Prior.    We  looked 

;  upon  his  swinging  ascent  with  some  wonder 

'  what  we  should  do,   if  the  other   entrance  of 

V  which  we  had  heard  shOhld  ^  closed   against 

1  strangers  now.     But  a  monk  soon   invited  us 

within  a  well  secured  postern,  and  lighted  us 

with  his  lantern  through  a  dark  passage,  and 

then  led  ns  through  the  green  and  blossoray 


vicwoneither  hand,  with  detached  8nov-b«ds  ^  and  terraced  g-arden,   and  up  from   one  stair-

lying  in  their  clefts.  The  caravan  moved 
slowly,  and  apparently  with  a  more  solentn, 
measured  tread  ;  the  Bedouins  became  serions 
and  silent,  and  looked  steadily  before  them, 
as  if  to  catch  the  first  glimpse  of  some  revered 
object  The  space  before  us  gradually  ei(^ao- 
ded,  when,  suddenly,  Tuuleb,  pointing  to  a 
black,  perpendicular  cliflF,  whose  two  ri^en  an 
rugged  summi's  rose  some  1200  or  1500  feet 
directly  in  front  of  us,  exclaimed,  Gebel  Moum, 
Mt.  Moses.  How  shall  I  describe  the  eflFect  of 
that  announcement  ?  Not  a  word  was  spoken 
by  Moslem  or  Christian,  but  slowly  and  silsntly 
wcadva0ced  into  the  still  expanding  plain, 
our  eyes  immovably  fixed  on  the  ft-owning 
precipices  of  the  stern  and  desolate  mountain. 
We  were  doubtless  on  the  plain  where  Israel 
encamped  at  the  giving  of  the  Law,  and  that 
grand  and  gloomy  height  before  us  was  Sinai, 
on  which  the  glory  of  God  descended  in  fire, 
and  the  whole  mountain  was  enveloped  in 
smoke,  aid  shook  under  the  tread  of  the  Al- 
mighty, while  his  presence  was  proclaimed  by 
the  long,  loud  peals  of  repeated  thunder,  above 
which  the  blast  of  the  trumpet  was  heard 
waxing  louder  and  louder,  and  reverberating 
amid  the  stern  and  gloomy  moantain  heights 
around,  and  then  God  spake  with  Mosss : 
"And  all  the  people  removed  and  stood  afar 
off,  and  trembled  when  they  saw  the  thunder- 
ings,  and  lightnings,  and  thick  darkness  where 
Qod  was  ;  and  said  unto  Moses, '  Speak  thou 
with  OS  ;  but  let  not  God  speak  with  us,  least 
we  die." — (Bxod.,  xx.)  We  all  seemed  to 
ourselves  te  be  present  at  this  terrible  scene, 
and  wonld  have  marched  directly  up  to  the 
Mount  of  God,  had  not  Tualeb  recalled  us  to 
onrEclves  again  by  pointing  to  the  convent  far 
up  in  the  deep  ravine  between  Horeb  and 
Qebel  Deir. 

As  we  entered  the  gorge  of  the  convent  a 
cross  stood  on  a  small  hill  to  our  left,  and  a 
Bedouin  cemetery  lay  on  the  right,  in  the 
deep  shadows  of  Horeb.  Looking  aloft,  we 
saw  small  crosses  crownisg  the  naked  and 
apparently  inaccessible  moantain  peaks,  and 
seemingly  connected  with  the    sky.     From 


case  and  platform  to  another,  till   we  arrived 
at  the  strangers  corridor,  whence   we  could 
overlook  much  of  the  curious  complication  of 
buildings  aii^  spaces  which  constitute  the  in- 
terior of  the  convent  of  Mount  Sinai,"  and, 
jays,  Durbin,  pulled  in  and  embraced,  but  not 
■pissed,  by  the   venerable  prior.     (Jnr  hjggage 
and  servants  followed.    Onr  Arabs,  having 
received  permission  to  kill  the   fiktted  kids  and 
make^j^jeast  fpr  themselves  at  our  expense, 
departed  to  their  people  in  the  mountains,  and 
.  we  retired  to  the  porch,  where  we  were  served 
with  coflee,  and  In  an  hour  or  so,  with  salt  fiih 
'and  rice  (or  dinner.     We  dined  alone,  attended 
]|and  served   by  a  small,  sprightly   old  monk 
;8ome  eighty  years  of  age.     After  dinner  wc 
took  po88e8.sion  of  two  small  rooms   with  well- 
Hworn  carpets,  and  low   divans  running  round 
three  sided  of  each. 

The  first  thing  Icnown  of  the  settlement  of 
this  place  and  neighborhood  is  that  the  Empress 
Helena,  in  the  fourth  century,  built  a  small 
thurch  over  the  spot  where  the  Burning  Bush 
.(Hi  it  I  ffi)  grew.  Who  there  was  to  tell  the 
Empress  where  the  Bush  grew,  is  not  known ; 
nor  how  the  tradition  had  been  preserved  for 
nearly  two  thousand  years.  Several  small 
convents  were  built  in  the  peninsula,  after 
Helena's  church  began  to  attract  devotees  ;  but 
the  Bedouins  were  so  dangerous  and  trouble- 
some that  the  Christians  of  the  region  petition- 
ed the  Emperor  Justinian  to  build  them  a  for- 
tified convent.  He  sent  workmen,  Barckhardt 
tells  us,  from  Constantinople  and  Egypt,  with 
orders  to  build  an  impregnable  monastery  on 
the  top  Gebel  Mousa,— that  peak  being  in 
his  day  supposed  to  be  the  one  from  which  the 
Law  was  given.  There  being  no  water  at  that 
eight,  the  workmen  built  the  convent  at  the 
bot  of  Horeb,  inclosing  within  its  walls  the 
well  at  which  it  is  said  Moses  was  the  first  to 
drink.  The  gtructare  has  since  the  time  of 
Justinian  (since  the  6th  century)  been  frequen- 
tly repaired.  The  monks  believe  that  Justinian 
gave  the  whole  of  the  peninsula  to  tlieir  estab- 
lishment ;  and  that  so  many  sacred  buildings 
and  hermitages  arose  in  consequence,  tiiat  jAi^

tion of  health,  and  the  cure  of  very  many  of 
our  most  og^ting  diseases  ;  1  am  truly  aston- 
ished that  the  warm  or  tepid  bath  should  be 
so  seldom  used  in  our  country.        ' 

Warm  baths  are  such  as  have  a  temperature 
between  seventy  six  and  ninety-eight  dcgrccfl 
of  the  thermometer  ;  but  persons  having  no 
thermometer  (indeed  there  is  no  need  of  one 
for  regulating  the  temperature  of  the  water) 
have  only  to  consult  their  own  sensations  in 
entering  the  bathing  tub  ;  because  their  own 
temperament  in  contact  with  the  water  will 
immediately  advise  them  of  the  temperature 
required  :  the  only  ioeonvenience  that  can  ever 
be  exprtenced  in  using  the  warm  bath,  will 
be  in  being  compelled  to  leave  its  comforts. 
The  usual  time  of  bathing  is  from  twenty 
aiinutes  to  half  an  hour  ;  but  with  regard  to 
time,  it  is  not  material :  the  feelings  and  sen- 
sations of  the  bather  will  better  determine 
fihis  point  than  I  can  tell  htrtJ.  The  warm 
bath,  contrary  to  the  general  opinion,  does  not 
heat  the  body  ;  it  has,  en  the  contrary,  an 
opposite  eflFect,  inasmuch  as  it  obviously  abates 
the  quickness  of  the  pnlse,  and  reduces  the 
pulsations  in  proportion  to  the  time  we  rcniaii) 
in  the  warm  water. 

»When  persons  have  traveled  a  long  journey 
and  feel  much  fatigued,  or  overheated  by  an 
exposure  to  the  sun,  or  their  minds  are  much 
disturbed,  the  bath  will  be  found  an  excellent 
^rettiedy  fofj^yigpraliilg  the  whole  system,  and 
at  the  Fame  time  reducing  the  irregular  and 


158 

fever,  I  have  found  it  of  great  benefit  from  the 
fact  of  it  lessening  the  heat :  and  most  parti- 
cularly 'oeneficial  when  the  liver  was  connected 
with  this  dreadful  disease.  In  dyspepsia,  or 
indigestion,  this  terrible  disease,  which  makes 
me  itself  a  burden,  the  bath  is  a  valuable 
assistant  and  comforter  in  the  cure.  All  yonng 
persons  who  manifest  a  disposition  to  stop  at 
a  premature  point  of  growth — in  other  words, 
to  remain  pigmies  for  life — should  use  the  bath  ; 
because  it  always  promotes  the  growth  of  the 
limbs,  and  add^  much  to  the  muscular  powers. 
The  ancient  Greeks,  Romans  and  Germans, 
a.s  well  as  the  Persians,  Turks  and  modern 
Kgyptians,  enj^y  thu  comforts  and  benefits 
procured  by  bailiinf ,  in  a  degree  of  whi<!h  we 
can  scarcely  form  un  idea.  The  French  owe 
much  of  their  cheerfulness  and  vivacity  of  dis- 
position to  the  warm  bath  ;  and  you  could  not 
inflict  on  most  Frenchmen  or  French  females 
a  greater  punishment  than  to  deprive  eitber  of 
the  warm  batli,  which  they  always  prize  as  a 
component  part  of  their  existence.  The  soft, 
delicate,  and  beautiful  skins,  for  which  the 
French  females  are  so  much  celebrated,  are 
very  much  owing  to  the  tepid  bathing  ;  being 
fur  preferable  to  all  the  cosmetics  and  other 
preparations  sold  lor  the  purpose  of  whitening 
and  beautifying  the  skin.  To  such  iNirsons  as 
have  a  fictid  perspiration,  the  frequent  use  oK 
the  warm  bath  would  be  of  immense  service. 
liCt  me,  then,  again,  ond  with  every  desire  for 
your  happiness,  and  every  delicacy  of  senti- 
ment I  am  inu-;(er  of,  urge  upon  you  the  sim- 
ple fact,  that  ijciiilineis  is  essential  to  life,  and 
that  the  want  of  it  has  destroyed  many  a  mat- 
rimonial happiness  for  life. 

Every  family,  rich  and  poor,  ought  to  have 
a  bathing  machine,  or  avail  themselves  of 
public  baths. 

Most  wealthy  per-ions  imagine,  when  they 
have  furnished  their  mansions  with  splendid 
mirrors,  Turkey  carpets,  sofa>f,  and  various 
othe.-  decorations,  which  soon  tire  after  the 
aovelty  of  seeinpt  them  ceases,  that  all  things 
are  complete  ;  liut,  unless  they  have  a  small 
room  appropriate   to   bathing,  in  which  the 


quick  action  of  the  blood.     Indeed,  1  feel  con 

fident  that,  in  thousan^p  of  instances,   if  tlie  i  necessary  apparatus  can  be  found  fitted  up  for 

bath  were  used  in  the  first  symptoms  of  those  j  use,  their  bouses  want  one  of  the  most  neees- 

irreguhir  and  feverish  feelings  which  prey  upon 

|he  mind  and  body,  very  many  persons  would 


escape  sick-beds.  Attacks  of  fever,  in  many 
instances,  even  after  distinctly  feeling  all  the 
8ynii)toms  may  be  prevented  by  the  speedy  use 
of  the  warm  bath  and  gentle  purgatives  of 
Epsom  salts,  which  otherwise  would  have  dege- 
nerated into  dreadful  and  malignant  diseases. 
The  warm  bath  is  of  very  great  utility  to  per- 
is troubled  with  eruptions  or  breakingi-  out 
;he  skin,  such  as  itch,  and  other  sores.  In 
ichondriacal  hysterics,  and  in  insane  cases  ; 
'add  in  fact  on  persons  laboring  under  madness, 
i.%e  beneficial  effects  of  warm  baths  are  always 
visible  :  in  scorbutic  and  old  ulcers  or  sores, 
when  attention  has  l)een  paid -to  regimen,  the 
Utilities  of  the  bath   are  equally  great.     In 


palsy  and  all  nervous  diseases  it  is  one  of  the  |  s<l,ow,  by  a  briel' statement  of  facts,  the  method 


t< 


most  effectual  remedies.  In  a  great  variety  of 
chronic,  or  inveterate  complaints,  such  as  bil- 
ious diseases,  derangements  of  the  liver,  and 
of  the  stomach  and  digestive  functions,  it  is 
jbipossible  to  describe  to  you  its  useful  effects  ; 

r]  I  solicit  you  with  every  sincerity  of  heart 
use  the  warm  bath  individually,  and  in  your 
Itoiilies,  as  one  of  the  eflBcient  preventives  and 
tnres  of  disease  which  is  in  every  man's  reach. 
In  using  the  bath  with  some  system  and  regu- 
larity, you  will  ward  off  many  hours'  conii  ic 
moot  by  ill  health  ;  save  the  expense  of  a  doc. 
tor's  bill,  and  prevent  you  from  ha\  ing  a  mined 
constitution,  and  a  stomach  worn  out  by  swal 
lowing  medicines  ;  for,  if  the  warm  bath  were 
more  frequently  used,  with  proper  ab»tineiice 
ftotn  food  on  the  approach  of  fever,  in  five 
cases  in  ten,  medical  assistance  wonld  ml  he 
required.  In  all  cases  of  debility  from  spasms  ; 
in  pain,  in  colic,  in  cramp,  and  in  anxiety  and 
restlessness,  the  bath  will  relieve  and  tranquil- 
i^e  the   system.    In  hectic,  or  consumptive 


sary  appendages  of  comfort  and  health  ;  and 
they  ought  to  be  charged  wit'a  the  responsibil- 
ity of  many  diseases  which  afflict  their  families, 
for  wjvnt  of  this  fountain  of  health.  The  con- 
struction of  public  baths  has,  from  the  remotest 
ages,  been  considered  an  object  of  national 
attention  ;  and  most  sincerely  and  ardently  do 
I  desire,  that  public  baths  may  be  established 
ill  every  city  and  town  in  our  country,  as  well 
for  the  health  as  the  comfort  of  the  i>eople. 

The  warm  or  tepid  bath  should  be  used  abont 
twice  or  three  times  a  week  in  summer  ;  in 
winter  once  a  week  is  sufficient.  It  ought  to 
be  used  in  the  morning,  at  noon,  ©r  when  going 
to  bcel. 

Httvinf,'   now  given  a  coccise  accanntW^ 
some  of  the  bentttits  of  this  bath,  1  shall  next 


of  bathing  praeti^d  by  the  hardy  Russians. 
They  have  sweating  or  vapor  bathe,  which  are 
resortetl  to  by  persons  of  all  classes,  rich  and 
poor,  free  of  expense,  because  these  baths,  as 
is  proper,  are  supported  and  kept  up  by  the 
governmcn'.  Here  mingle  together  the  beggar, 
the  arlisjn  the  peasant,  and  the  nobleman,  to 
enjoy  the  luxurifs  of  the  steam  or  sweating 
bath,  in  both  i^iekncss  and  health.  The  method 
pursued  to  produce  the  vapor  bath,  is  simply 
by  throwing  water  on  red  hot  stones  in  a  close 
loom,  which  raises  the  beat  from  U>0  to  166 
degrees,  making,  when  at  1C8  degrees,  above  a 
beat  capable  of  melting  wax,  and  only  12  de- 
purees  below  that  fur  boiling  spirit  of  wine.  In 
this  tremendous  and  excessive  heat,  which,  on* 
an  American  wonli  produce  suffocation,  the 
Russian  enjoys  what,  to  him,  is  a  comfortable 
luxury  of  the  vapor  bath,  which  shows  clearly, 
as  before  observetl,  the  wonderful  force  of  habit 

among  mankind.

^  The  Triumph. 

i  In  tlic  proud  days  of  tiie  Roman 
Empire,  when  )icr  CiDsars,  and  Antonys, 
and  Scipios  went  fortli  at  the  head  of 
almost  innumerable  armies,  to  carry  car- 
?Il[  nagc  and  the  devastations  of  war  to  al- 
most  every  nation  of  tlie  known  wjrld,  the 
reports  of  their  successes  and  defeats  were 
looked  for  with  great  interest.  Whenever 
a  ffcneral  was  successful  in  his  battles 
with  the  enemy,  his  return  was  expected 
with  delight,  and  the  Senate  often  decreed 
what  was  called  a  "  Triumph  "—a  grand 
triumphal  procession,  in  which  every  in- 
vention of  art  was  brought  out  to  lend 
splendour  and  magnificence  to  the  occa- 
sion. The  city  was  full  of  joy— every 
person  tried  to  surpass  his  neighbour  in 
paying  honor  to  the  successful  conqueror 
"rirad  the  patriotic  hero— captive  kings 
being  sometimes  led  on  foot  behind  his

What  Did  the  Clock  Say. 
The  clock  upon  the  tower  of  a  neigh- 
boring chi|pch  tolled  forth,  slowly  aiid 
Bolemuly,  the  knell  of  the  departed  hour. 
As  the  last  sound  died  away,  Willie,  who 
was  sitting  on  the  carpet  at  his  mother's 
feet,  lifted  his  head  and  looking  anxiously 
in  her  face,  asked — 

"  Mother,  what  did  the  clock  say  ?" 
"To  me,"  said  the  mother,  sadly,  "  it 
seemed  to  say,  gone-gonc-goue-gonel" 
"  What,  mother,  what  has  gone  ?" 
"  Another  hour,  my  son." 
"  What  is  an  hour,  mother  ?" 
**  A   white-winged  messenger  from  our 
Father  in  Heaven,  sent  by  him  to  inquire 
of  yon,  of  me,  what  we  arc  doing  ;  what 
we  are  saying  ;  what  we  are  thinking  and 
feeling.     Back  to  Him  who  sent  it,  bear- 
ing on  its   wingi,  that  wore  so  pure  and 
white  when  it  came,  a  record  of  (U^  our 
thoughts,  words  aud  deeds,  while  it  was 
with  U8." 


chariot. 

In  reading  the  account  of  one  of  these 
triumphal  entries,  1  foil  into  a  sort  of 
meditative  humour,  a  dreamy  haziness 
cam  over  my  fancy.  I  thought  I  was 
walking  in  the  streets  of  the  Queen  City 
of  the  world,  and  on  turning  into  the  Ap- 
pian  Way,  I  saw  a  great  stream  of 
Romans  pouring  along  the  broad  avenue, 
to  meet  Scipio  on  his  return  from  his  ex- 
pedition into,  Africa. 

Choosing  a  position  on  the  lofty  stair- 
way of  one  of  the  temples,  I  waited  soide 
time  untill  the  procession  drew  near.  The 
broad  avenue  was  filled  with  one  unbroken 
mass  of  people,  who  slowly  moved  onward 
towards  the  gates  of  the  city-  In  the  dis- 
tance, the  loud  and  tumultuous  shouts  of 
the  vast  multitude  were  mingled  with  the 
shrill  peal  of  the  trumpet  and  the  roll  of 
the  drnma,  while  the  tall  and  imposing 
banners  and  standards,  jewelled  and  decor- 
ated, flashed  in  the  sunlight,  and  flaunted 
to  the  stirring  of  the  breeze. 

Slowly  aud  with  measured  tread,  at 
I  last  the  procession  reached  the  spot  where 
I  stood,  and  I  watched  closely  the  im- 
posing pageant.  In  front  a  body  of 
horsemen,  with  spears  whose  polished 
steel  threw  back  the  sunlight,  mounted 
on  fiery  horses  trained  to  war,  pranced 
^A  id  wheeled  along,  while  behind  them  the 
Roman  Senate,  seated  in  splendid  chari- 
ots, received  the  applause  of  the  people. 
Next,  seated  in  a  grand  triumphal  car, 
in  which  art  seemed  to  have  run  into  a 
lavish  extravagance  of  richness  and  deco- 
ration, came  Scipio,  the  great  general 
who  was  the  object  of  admiration  and 
attraction  to  all.  Whenever  he  was  first 
seen  by  each  new  group  of  the  throng,  a 
loud  burst  of  cries  rent  the  air,  and  inces- 
sant cheers  and  plaudits  followed  in  his 
path. 

Immediately  behind  his  car  there  walk- 
ed three  captive  kings  whom  he  had  made 
prisoners,  and  I  looked  for  the  great 
Carthaginian  general,  Haknib.vl,  but  he 
was  uot  there.  Several  princes,  and  a 
large  number  of  generals  aud  distinguished 
officers  kept  company,  while  a  body  of  many 
thousand  prisoners,  chained  two  and  two, 
came  sadly  and  dcspondingly  iu  their 
rear. 


A V  soon  as  these  had  passed,  the  Ro- 
toan  army  appeared  ;  andjoow  jhe  people 
broke  out-^auew  iu  loud  and  coustauT 
greetings  and  applause.  These  were  the 
men  who  achieved  the  conquest  they  were 
celebrating— these, were  the  nieu  who  liad 
attacked  the  Carthaginians,  overthrown 
the  city,  crucified  thousands  of  the  prin- 
cipal men  and  women,  cruelly  butchered 
the  old  and  young,  and  pillagfd  aud  des- 
troyed the  houses  and  tonii»lcs,  until 
Carthage  wa.s  but  a  shadow  of  if.s  former 
glory.  The  eyes  of  the  people  .seemed  to 
flabh  with  malignity  and  rage  against  the 
Carthaginians  who  had  been  .subdued, 
while  they  proudly  cheered  the  conquer- 
ors. 

Thousands  of  citizens  fell  iu  the  rear  to 
swell  the  jirocessiou,  and  us  they  drew 
near,  I  saw  the  women  aud  children  who 
were  looking  at  the  pageant  with  de- 
lighted eyes,  and  looked  beyond  them  to 
see  how  far  they  reached.  I  was  startled 
with  the  sight  that  presented  itself,  for  as 
soon  as  they  had  passed,  I  saw  a  body  of 
-many  thousands  of  bleeding  and  mangled 
soldiers,  whose  wounds  were  yet  unhealed, 
coming  along,  striving  hard  to  keep  pace 
with  the  rest.  The  most  frightful  objects 
l^resented  themselves  :  some  were  hobbling 
along  with  a  btaflf,  having  but  one  limb — 
others  had  only  part  of  an  arm— some 
diowed  nothing  l)ut  the  stump  of  the 
shoulder — some  had  not  a  feature  of  their 
faces  left,  the  horses  having  trampled  upon 
them  on  the  field  of  blood.  Others  were 
shrieking  and  writhing  with  untold  pain 
and  agony — some  looked  as  though  they 
were  dead,  yet  carried  along  by  an  unseen 
power  which  kept  them  in  the  crowd, 
while  rattling  and  treading  after  them, 
there  came  an  unbroken  line  of  ghastly 
skeletons  ! 

I  felt  sick  at  heart  at  the  spectacle, 
and  would  have  turned  away,  but  a  spell 
1x)Hnd  me  to  the  spot  till  all  had  passed. 
Wailing  and  weeping  fell  on  my  ear,  and 
there  appeared  a  countless  number  of  wo- 
men who  had  lost  their  husbands  and 
their  sons  in  the  batttles  of  the  conqueror. 
Blinded  with  tears,  heart-broken  with  an- 
guish, they  followed,  heaping  reproaches 
on  the  name  of  Scipio.  Their  children, 
holding  each  other  or  their  mothers  by 
the  hands,  mingled  their  peteous  cries 
with  the  wails  of  the  bereaved  widows, 
while  the  women  and  chidren  of  the 
butchered  and  crucified  Charthaginians 
.rent  the  air  with  prayers  to  their  gods 
for  vengencc  on  the  Romans. 

Terrified,  and  with  a  heart  burning 
with  fire  aud  bursting  with  emotion,  I  has- 
tened from  the  spot,  satisfied  with  a  view 
of  one  triumph  of  the  victorious  "soldier. 
The  setting  sun  was  just  dropping  down 
behiud  a  veil  of  gorgeously  tinted  vapours 
that  floated  on  the  edge  of  the  distant 
horizon,  and  its  light^spoke  to  me  a  prom- 
ise of  the  brighter  day  when  Love  shall 
fill  every  heart,  and  Peace,  like  a  holy  in- 
cense, shall  wake  up  on  the  alter  of  every 
human  soul.

Fortune  has  been   coiisidrred   the  (guardian  | 
divinity  of  fools  ;  and   on  this  score,  ?,\\*i  has  j 
been  accused  of  blindness ;  but  it  should  ratl.er 
be  adduced  as  a  proof  of  her  sagacity,  when  she 
helps  tho.sc  who  certainly   cannot  help  tbem- 
selves. 


Virtue. 


Gratitude. 
A  oool  bloodi'<l  and  crafty  politician,  when  be 
would  be  thoroughly   revenged  on   his  enemy, 

makes  the  injuries  which  have  been  inflicted, 
not  on  biuiself,  but  on  others,  the  pretext  of 
his  attack.  lie  thus  enj^ages  the  world  as  a 
a  partisan  in  bis  quarrel,  and  dignifies  his 
private  hate,  by  giving  it  the  air  of  disinterest- 
ed resentment.  When  Augustus  wished  to 
put  in  force  the  law  for  suppressing  libels 
and  lampoons,  he  took  care  to  do  it,  savs 
Aurel  us,  not  in  his  own  nume,  but  in  the

Bathing. 

[Coot'iDued  frooD  p.  153.] 
fa'^iiuiBB   foatfa-ii9ii'9eB    iiuuieiuus 
are  constracted,  od  which   bathers  lie  naked, 
and  oODtinue  in  a  profuse  sweat  for  the  lapse 
of  oae  aod  sometimes  two  hours,  occasionally 
washing  or  pouring  over  their  bodies  warm  or 
cold  water.    During  the  sweatiiiir  stage,  the 
body  is  well   rubbed  or  gently  whipped  with 
leafy  branches  of  the   birch  tree,  to  promote 
perspiration  bj  opcuinp  the    ports  of  the  skin. 
A  Russian  thinks  nothing  of  rushing  from  the 
bath  room  dissolved  in   sweat,  and  jumpping 
into  the  cold  and   chilling   waters  of  uo   adja- 
c.nt  river  :  or,  during  the  most  piercing  told 
to  which  his  country  id  liable  in  winter,  to  roll 
himself  in   the   snoiv  :  and   this  without   the 
slightest  injury.     On  the  contrary,  he  derives 
many  advantages  from  these  sadden   changes 
and  abrupt  exposures;  been  use  he  always  by 
tliem  hardens  his  constitution  to  all  the  sov^ri 
ties  of  a  climute  whose  colds  and  snows  seem 
to  paralyze   the   very  face  of  nature.     Rheu- 
matisms are  seldom  known  in    Russia  ;  which 
ia  certainly  owing  to  the  habit  of  thus  taking 
the    vapour   bath.      The   great   and   sudden 
transition  from  heat  to  cold  seemes  to  us  very 
dangerous  and  unnatural ;  but  I  have  no  doubt 
the  Ru.«Hians  owe  their  longevity,  their  healthy 
and    robust    constitutions,    their    exemption 
from  certain  m  )rtal  discdscs.and  their  cheerful 
and  vivacious   tempers,   to   the^o   baths,  and 
their  generally  temperate  mode  of  living.     A 
learned  writer   has  justly  remarked,   and  not 
without  cau-e,  that  it  is  much  to  be  lamented 
"  this  practice  of  bathing  should   have   fallen 
into  such  disuse  among  the  modern   nations  ot 
Europe  ;  and  that  he  most  sinctrely  wishes  it 
might  again  be  revived  in   our  towns  and  vil- 
lages."   When  we  look  back  and  see  the  ben- 
efiits  that  the  old  physicians  derived  from  this 
remedy  of  nature's  own   invention,  and   the 
many  cures  formerly  efTected  by  the  use  of  the 
bath,  and   that  Rome  f(>r  five  hundred  years 
together  had   few  physicians  bat  bat^s,  w( 
cannot  avoid  being  astonished  that  they  s.  ould 
ever  have  fallen  into  disuse,  from  the  prejudio 
and  negligence  of  mankind. 

COLD    BATH. 

The  cold  bath  is  one  of  the  most  important 
medicinal  remedies  presetted  from  thi  friendly 
bosom  of  nature.    The  cold  bath  ouKht  t,o  In- 
of  a  temperature  varying  from  the  thirty  third 
to  the  fifty-sixth  degree  of  Fahrenheit's  ther 
mometer,  or   the  usual  warmth  of  our  river 
water  during  the  summer  months  *  but   the 
entrance  of  spring-branebcs  into    t 
should  be  avoided  by  persons  bathing 
it  produces  a  sudden  change  of  tea 
from  an  agreeable  warmth  to  a  cold  aoi 
sensation. 

Bathing  in   cold  water  daring  t1 
season,  is  a  preventive  against  diseas*^^ 
ularly  fevers,  by  lessening  the  beat  of  t 
it  cleanses  the  skin  from  its  impure  : 
contiots,  thereby  removing  a  primar 
of  disease  :  the  bath  braces  the  sol' 
were  before  relaxed  by  heat,  rcstt 
tranquilizing  the  irritability  of  the 
system,  and  greatly  exhilarating  and 
the  spirits  with  an  increase  of  stre' 
bodily  power.    If  the  bath  has  been  ser 
you   will  quickly  feel,  after  leaving  t 
and  robbing  well  with  a  coarse  towel,   ' 
pleasant  glow  or  increase  of  heat,  w 
lightful  serenity  and  cheerfulness  ;  b 
bath  has  been  injurious,  you  will  feel 
trary  effect  to  that  which  I  have  des 
and  yoa  mast,  of  course  discontinue 
and  apply  the  tepid  or  warm  bath  in  \i 
The  eflects  produced  by  the  cold  batb  #hen 
they  prove  injurious  to  the  bather,  are  directly 
the  contrary  to  those  which  I  have  before  de- 
"^oribed  ;  soch  as  heaviness  and  depression  of 

"its  ;  respiration  or  breathing  1)ecomes  im- 

^  ',  Hyid  or  dark  appearance  of  the  skin  ; 

"ple ;  the  lips  change  their  florid  ap- 


J 

gcrmg  complaints  have  been  produced  by  the 
injudicious  use  of  this  remedy,  and  many  dis- 
eases brought  to  a  fatal  termination  by  its 
improper  application,  I  shall,  therefore,  de 
scribe  as  plainly  as  possible  the  different  eflFccts 
produced  in  the  different  constitutions,  and  the 


ated  state  ot  tne  system,  gout  or  rbeumatisra  ; 
in  hemorrhages  or  discharges  of  blood  from 
the  lungs,  in  all  kinds  of  inflammation  internal 
and  external,  the  cold  bath  is  dangerous,  and 
frequently  confirms  disease  which  ultimately 
results  in  dissolution  or  death.  Its  benefits 
are  always  found  in  a  debilitated  state  of  the 


pearanoe  to  a  pale  or  parple  color ;  and  the 
countenance  assumes  a  cadaverous  or  ghastly 
color,  accompanied  with  headache.     In  such  a 
case,  the  bather  should  immediately  take  plen- 
tifully ot  WMXxa  tf"?<^y.  ma^^y />f  flpiritg  ef  any 
Kind  ;  or,  if  a  cramp  in  the  stomach,  which 
8  jmetimes  takes  place   frt  m  the  cold   bath, 
thirty  or  forty  drops  of  laudanum  for  a  grown 
person,  with  warm  toddy,  together  with  the 
application  cf  warm  salt  to  the  stomach,  will 
give  immediate  relief.     As  before   bathing  so 
there  ought  always  moderate  exercise  to  be 
takeu  after,  so  as  to  ret>tore  the  equilibrium  of 
the  circulation,  and  produce  a  reaction  in  the 
vessels  and  muscUs.     The  morning  is  the  btst 
time  for  bathmg,  or  two  hours  before  sunset,  if 
in  a  river,  as  the  water  has  then,  from  the  rays 
of  asummcr  sun,  acquired  an  agreeable  warmth. 
Whtn   the  sun  has  disappearetl,  or  evening 
begins  to  throw  her  mists  over  the  water,  it  is 
imprudent  to  bathe,  owing  to  the  dampness  of 
the  atmosphere,  which   is  apt  to  produce  a 
chill,  followed  by  fever. 

The  rules  for  bathing  are,  to  enter  the  bath 
on  an  empty  stomach  ;  or,  in  other  words,  some 
time  after  eating  :  wet  the  head  first,  and  if 
the  bathingplace  is  free  from  impediments, 
dive  in  head  foremost,  so  as  to  make  the  im- 
pression unifurm  ;  fur  you  will  feel  the  shock 
less  by  boldly  entering  it,  than  by  reflecting 
and  acting  slowly  and  timidly,  by  which  you 
might  produce  dangerous  consequences  by  pro- 
pelling the  blood  from  the  extremities  to  the 
head,  inducing  apoplexy. 

The  time  of  remaiaing  in  the  bath  should 
always  be  short,  and  must  be  determined  by 
the  constitution  and  the  feelings  of  the  persons 
themselves,  as  healthy  persons  may  continue  in 
the  bath  longer  than  those  who  are  weakly  and 
in  bad  health.  It  is  improper  and  unsafe  to 
remain  in  the  cold  water  longer  than  a  quarter 
of  an  hour  at  most,  during  the  hottest  day  in  j 
summer,  as  the  principal  object  in  cold  bathing 
is  the  influence  and  effect  prdduced  by  the  first 
impression  made  on  the  system  ;  and  should 
the  cold  bath  be  advisable  in  spring  or  autumn, 
which  is  sometimes  the  case,  one  or  two  min- 
utes at  most  will  be  sufficient  when  the  bath  is 
necessary  at  these  seasons,  it  will  be  advisable 
to  use  the  shower  bath,  as  hereafter  described. 
On  the  use  of  the  cold  bath  considerable 
ll^W''nt  is  required,  as  many  serious  and  lin- 


system,  when  aoconnected  with  the  diseases  I 
have  mentioned  ;  particularly  those  whose  sys 
terns  have  been  relaxed  by  sedentary  habits, 
requiring  tonic  or  strengthening  remedies. 


Extraordinary  Power  of  Resisting 
Temperature. 
The  power  of  superior  animals,  and  especially 
of  man  to  resist  high  degrees  of  temperature, 
is  very  extraordinary,  and  was  at  first  discov- 
ered by  accident  in  the  following  manner  : — 
It  is  well  known  that  the  natural  tempera- 
ture in  this  country  is  not  far  from  96"  Fahr. 
But  Dr.  Fordyce,  formly  physician  to  St. 
Thomas'  Hosepital,  London,  went  into  a  room 
heated  to  120°,  where  he  remained  twenty 
minute?,  and  afterwards,  into  a  room  heated  to 
130**  and  remained  fifteen  minutes  while  the 
thermometer  ia  his  Iiand  rose  only  to  100". 
Sir  Joseph  Banks,  Dr.  Solander  and  Sir  Charles 
Blagden,  remained  several  minutes  in  a  room 
heated  to  between  196"  and  211",  the  tem- 
perature at  which  water  boils  ;  and  the  latter 
of  the  above  gentlemen  remained  eight  minutes 
in  a  room  heated  to  2C0'^.  We  have  accounts 
of  a  young  female  at  Rochefoucault,  who  was 
in  the  habit  of  staying  ten  and  twelve  minutes 
at  a  time  in  an  oven  heated  to  276*,  and  Tillet 
and  Dubamel  inform  us  that  they  bore  a  heat 
of  222"  for  nearly  five  miii'atea. 

Chantry,  the  sculptor,  often  entered  his  fur- 
nace, when  heated  for  drying  his  mould,  to 
320",  and  his  workmen  did  the  same  with 
impunity  when  the  thermometer  was  up  to 
340". 

A  dog  of  moderate  size  was  subjected  to 
a  heat  of  220".— 30  minutes  the  heat  was  236". 
On  being  taken  out,  the  bottom  of  the  basket 
was  found  wet  with  saliva.  By  the  same  heat, 
beef  steaks  were  cooked  in  thirty  minutes, 
and  in  twenty,  eggs  were  roasted  hard. 

Most  of  my  readers  have,  probably,  board  of 
Mons.  Charbert,  the  "  fire  king,"  and  who,  as 
is  stated  by  Dr.  Dunglingson,  entered  an  oven 
when  the  heat  was  raised  above  400°. 

And  we  find  the  living  body  possessed  also, 
of  the  same  power  to  generate  caloric.  We 
have  seen  that  its  natural  temperature  is  about 
96" ;  but  in  the  account  of  Capt.  Parry's 
voyage  to  the  arctic  seas,  we  are  told  that  his 
crew  were  frequently  exposed  to  a  temperature 
50°  below  zero,  and  150  below  that  of  their 
own  bodies,  without  being  frozen ! 

In  the  year  1 760,  at   Rochefoucault,  Mons. 

du  Hamel  and  Tillet,  having  occasion  to  use  a 

large  pupUc  oven  on  the  same  day   on  which 

bread  had  been  baked  in  it,  wished  to  ascertain 

with  nrppjsion  its  degree  of  temperature.     Be 

088  how  to  proceed,  a  girl,  one  of  the 

8  on  the  oven,   offered  to  enter,  and 

h  a  pencil  the  height  at  which  the 

iter  stood  within  the  oven.     The  girl 

;  Mr.  Tillet's  surprise  at  this  strange 

)u,  and  entering  the  oven,   marked 

IOmeter  as  standing  at  260  of  Fahren- 

le. 

male  salamander  assuring  Mr.  Tillet, 
ssed  her  to  return,  that  she  felt  no 
ience  from  her  situation,  she  remained 
itea  longer,    the    thermometer   then 
at  288   degrees,  or  76  degrees  ab  jve 
rater  ;   when  she  came  out,  her  cora- 
nas  considerably  heightened,  but  her 
9n  by  no  means  quick  or  laborious. 
I  afterwards  made  the  subject  of  accu- 
decisive  experemenis  by   Sir  Charles 
,  Dr.  Fordyce,  and  others.  Dr.  Blagden 
i  room,  heated  by  flues  in  the  floor, 
i  thermometer  indicated   a  heat  above 
toiling  water.    The  first  impr&-sion  of 
,ed  air  upon  his  body  was  exceedingly 
able,  but   in  a  few  minutes  all  uneasi- 
ness was  removed   by   the   breaking  out  of  a 
sweat.    At  the  end  of  ten  minutes  he  left  the 
room  much  fatigued,  but  not  otherwise  disord- 
ered. The  thermometer  had  risen  to  220  degrees. 
In  other  experiments  it  was  found  that  a  heat 
even  of  260  degrees  could  be  born  with  tolerable 
ease.    At  these  high  temperatures,  every  piece 


of  metal  about  the  bodies  of  the  experimenteral 
became  intolerably  hot  ;   snail  quantities 4)f  I 
water  placed  in  metallic  vessels  immediatly| 
boiled  :  eggs  placed  upon  a  frame  were  roasted 
hard  in  t'»^"*y  mjpntpa,  «^nH  a  beef  stake  wsaJ 
overdoae  in   thirty-three  minutes.    Notwilh-I 
standing  the  extraordinary   degree  of  heat  to 
which   the  experimenters   were  exposed,  the| 
temperature  of  their   bodies  was  not  raised. 
Animals  are  also  capable  of  living  in  tempera- 
ture of  extraordinary  elevation,  even  in   th^ 
dense  medinm  of  water.    In  the  thermal  springs  I 
of  Bohemia,  in  Brazil,  small  fishes  were  seen 
swiming  in  a  rivulet  that  rises  the  thermometer 
88  degrees,  and  fishi  s  have  beea  f  jund  existing 
in  a  hot  spring  at  the  Manillas,  at  1.58  degrees. 
The   power  ot   resisting  temperature   belongs 
almost  in  an  equal   degree,  to  the  vegetable  | 
world. 


Foreign  Items. 

Dresden.— Paul   Wolf,  M.  D.,  knight  and  I 
court  counsellor,  (Hofnith.)  died  January  11th, 
in  the  62d  year  of  his  age.     This  gentleman 
received  his  education  at  Jacobson's  normal 
school  at  Seesen,  continued  his  studies  at  the 
university  of  Prague,  and  received  his  diploma 
'at  Jena,  in   1817.    Turning   his   attention  to 
homeopathy,  tie  became  the  author  of  the  well 
known  eighteen  theses,  which  set  his  name  side 
by  sTde  with  Uahneman,  and  soon  acqoittd  fbr 
him  a  high  reputation  as  a  practical  physician. 
He  was  frequently   consulted  by  foreign   prin- 
ces in   medical    affairs,   which    brought    *-\ru  I 
wealth,  titles  and  honor.    When,  in  the  year 
1833,  t'je  Saxonian  government    offered  the  I 
Jews  the  enjoyment  of  all  civil  rights,  provided 
they  would  change  their  Sabbathday  to  ■  un- 
day,  it  was  Dr.  W^olf,  who,  on  request  of  the  I 
Jewish    representatives,  wrote    that    memor- 1 
able  pamphlet  in  which  the  proposed  conditions 
of  the  government  were  decidedly  refused,  and  | 
its    injustice    and    impiety   severely  rebuked. 
When  again,  in  the  year  1844,  the  question  in  i 
regard  to  the  sanitary  effect   of  circumcision 
was  iterated  in  Saxony,  he  declared  his  opinion 
from  a  religious  and  sanitary  point  of  view,  | 
for  the  maintenance  of  this  rite. — Israelite. 

Vienna. — At  the  anniversary  of  the  Chebra,  I 
the  net  donations  of  the  evening  amounted  to 
86,000.  The  old  custom  of  giving  clothes  to 
poor  children  on  the  first  day  ot  Chanuka,  was 
also,  this  year,  not  forgotten,  and  many  poor 
creatures  were  well  furnished  for  the  approach- 
ing winter. 

Julius  Sulzer,  the  distinguished  son  of  the  | 
renowned  composer  and  Ilazan  of  the  Temple, 
was  appointed  Professor  of  vocal  music  at  the  I 
imperial  academy  of  music. 

Among  the  literal  y  curiosities  now  leaving  I 
the  press,  in  this  city,  must  be  mentioned  the 
prayer  book  of  the  Caraites,  printed  for  them 
at  their  expense. — Israelite. 

Austria. — The   consolidation  of  the  differ- 1 
ent  legacies  to  one  fund,  for  the  purpose  of 
establishing  a  Rabbinical  college  in  Prague, 
approaches   now  its  realization.    The  sundry 
funds   amount  to  nearly   one   million   and  a 
half  of  Austrian  guilders,  the  interest  of  which  | 
is  squandered  to  the  teachers  of  the  Beth 
Hamidrash,  who  have  not  one  pupil  to  instruct, 
and  to  Shiur  and  Thillim  readers.    It  depends 
now  merely  on  the  opinion  of  the  government, 
whether  or  not  this  plan  should  be  carried  into 
effect.     An  unusual  number  of  Jewish  students 
are  at  present  in  that  city,  attending  the  differ- 
ent seats  of  learning. 

The  new  Rabbi  of  Trieste  proposed  several 
reforms,  which  proved  acceptable  to  the  officers 
of  the  congregation,  but  obnoxious  to  a  large 
portion  of  the  members.  The  reforms  are  of 
no  vital  importance,  still  they  create  there  quite 
a  sensation.  The  Rabbi  laid  his  reform  scheme 
before  the  faculty  of  Padua,  Italy,  and  promi- 
ses to  abide  by  the  decision. — London  Jewish 
Chronicle. 

Moldavia. — Besides  40,000  Jews  in  Jas-'Ji

Spreadeth  plenty  all  around  ;

And  its  blessed  fruits  abound  :

Justly  might  thy  anger  move; 

On  the  cloud  the  bright  bow  shines, 
Sign  of  peace  and  pardoning  love . 

Though  provok'd  thou  dost  forbear: 

Thou  dost  hear  and  answer  prayer.

With  our  offering  of  praise,

Teacher  by  the  Congrogation  Hmanu  El,  with

The  branches  of  lostruotion  include  all 
such  as  are  taught  in  an  ELEMiNTAar  and  High

Mr.  Levy,  by  long  experience  as  a  teacher  in 
the  public  schools  of  France  and  Algiers,  has 
acquired  a  knowledge  of  the  best  methods  of 
conducting  a  school  and  imparting  instruction, 
and  is  prepared  to  lay  before  parents  and 
guardians  official  documents,  attesting  that  his 
success  as  a  teacher  was  repeatedly  rewarded 
by  the  Minister  of  Public  Instruction. 

Mr.  Crook  is  well  known  as  a  successful 
teacher  in  the  public  schools  of  this  city. 

Upon  the  request  of  several  parents,  a 
private  class  of  French  and  German  will  be 
taught,  every  morniug  a*  a  convenient  hour,

Sheboo-oth. 

On  Friday  and  Saturday  next,  the  29th  and 
30th,  we  celebrate  the  feast  of  Sheboo-oth,  or 
of  "  Weeks."  It  is  so  called  because  we  are 
commanded  to  count  from  the  second  day  of 
Pc-ah  (Possover)  seven  weeks,  which  makes 
lo.-ty-niue  days,  and  to  obiicrvc  the  fiftieth  as 
the  Sheboo-oth  : 

"  And  ye  shall  count  unto  you  from  the 
morrow  after  the  Snblisth,  from  that  day.  that 
y>i  brought  the  sheaf  of  the  wave  otTering,8eveu 
Sabbaths  shull  be  complete.  Even  to  the  mor- 
row of  the  seventh  .Sabbath,  and  ye  shull  pro- 
claim  on  the  self-same  day,  that  it  may  be  a 
holy  convocation  unto'you,  ye  shiiU  do  no  ser- 
vib;  work  therein,  it  shall  bt;  a  statute  for  ever 
in  all  your  dwellings  throughout  your  genera 
lion."— Lev.  23.  16.  22. 

Ilcncc  the  (ireek  name  Pentecost,  which 
means  the  fiftieth. 

It  is  one  of  the  three  festivals  on  which  the 
male  portion  of  the  nation  had  to  repair  to 
tlie  centre  of  niir  nntioiialirv.  (to  the  roTimifni 
panctuary  of  Jt'rusuicni,)  and  tlioir  "  present 
themselves  before  the  Lord."  "  Three  times  in 
the  year  shall  all  thy  males  appear  before  the 
Lord  thy  Ood,  in  the  place  which  he  shall 
choose ;  on  the  Feast  of  Unleavened  Bread. 
0.1  the  Feast  of  Weeks,  and  on  the  Fea.st  of 
Tabernacles  ;  and  they  shall  not  appear  before 
the  Lord  empty,  every  one  shall  give  as  he  is 
able,  according  to  the  blessing  of  the  Lord  thy 
God  which  he  hath  given  thee." — Deut.  1 G  : 
16,  17. 

When  Israel  was  yet  in  possession  of  Ca- 
naan, this  feast  was  celebrated  by  bringing  the 
first  fruit  into  the  Temple  :  it  is  therefore  called 
the  Yoin  Habbicoornn — "  Day  of  the  first 
fruita."  But  after  the  destruction  of  the  Tem- 
ple, when  neither  sacrifices  nor  offerings  could 
be  brought,  nor  pilgrimages  undertaken,  the 
feast  still  continues  to  be  of  high  importance, 
from  the  event  which,  according  to  tradition 
and  the  Bible,  (Exodus  1!),)  took  place  (.'13.")0 
years  ago)  at  this  season,  that  the  glory  of  the 
liOrd,  umler  circumstances  of  love,  terror  aud 
magnificence,  manifested  itself  on  Mount  Sinai ; 
when  the  solemn  Covenant  was  made,  aud  Is- 
rael's object  ol  deliverance  from  Egypt  received 
its  completion. 

Aud  Moses  went  up  unto  God,  and  the  Lord 
called  unto  him  out  of  the  mountain,  sayiug, 
Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  the  house  of  Jacob,  and 
tell  the  children  of  Israel ; 

Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto  the  Egyptians, 
and  how  I  bare  you  on  eagles'  wings,  and 
brought  you  unto  myself. 

Now  therefore,  if  ye  will  obey  my  voice  in- 
deed,  and  keep  my  covenant,  then  ye  shall  be 
A  peculiar  treasure  unto  me  above  all  people 
fur  all  the  earth  it  mine  ; 

And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  kingdom  of 
priests,and  an  holy  nation.  These  are  the 
words  which  thou  shalt  speak  uuto  the  chiN 
dri  n  of  Israel. 

And  Moses  came  and  called  for  the  elders 
of  the  people,  and  laid  before  their  faces  all 
these  words  which  the   Lord  commanded  him. 

And  all  the  people,  answered  together,  and 
said.  All  that  the  Loan  hath  spoken  we  will  do. 

/fnd  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third  day  in  the 
morniog,  that  there  were  thunders  and  light- 
nings, and  a  thick  cloud  upon  the  mount,  and 
the  voice  of  the  trumpet  exceeding  loud  ;  so 
that  all  the  people  that  wat  iu  the  camp  trem- 
bled. 

And  Moses  brought  forth  the  people  out  of 
the  camp  to  meet  with  God  ;  and  they  stood  at 
the  nether  part  of  the  mount 

And  mount  Sinai  was  altogether  on  a  smoke, 
because  the  Lord  descended  upon  it  in  fire  ; 
and  the  smoke  thereof  ascended  as  the  smoke 
of  a  furnace,  and  the  whole  mount  quaked 
greatly. — Exodus  28. 

It  was  on  that  memorable  day  that  the  ten 

senteooes    (words)    or    commandments    were 

beard  from  the  thundering  mount ;  and,  to  this 

day,  wo  keep  the  remembrance  of  that  event 


alive  among  us  by  the  obflervunce  of  the  She- 
boo-oth. 

In  the  thou.sanda  of  the   congregations   of 
Jacob   the  day  is  devoted  t)  a  holy  ci  nvoea 
tion,  and  to  religious  fe.-tivity. 

I'o  call  the  itcei^c  and  tbo  fact  1  efure 
mental  eye  of  the  future  generatioi  b,  the  uncieiit 
fathers  of  the  church  introduced  certain  p  etic 
compositions  commemorative  of  the  imp  rt- 
ance  of  the  day,  into  the  liturgy.  They  also 
ordained  the  lessons  from  E.\odus  23,  and 
Deut.  14,  to  be  read.  But,  since  both  the  litur- 
gy and  the  lessons  have  hitherto  been  re.id  in 
Hebrew  only,  and  that  language  being  under- 
stood by  but  very  few,  the  whole  services,  wi  h 
the  reading,  proved  a  failure. 

And  Israel  has  to  lament  the  awful  fulfil- 
ment of  the  prophetic  denunciation  against 
thoFC  "  who  approach  but  with  their  mouth, 
and  honor  with  their  lips,"  which  is :  "  The 
wisdom  of  their  wise  men  is  lost  ;  and  the  dis- 
cernment of  their  intelligent  men  bus  to  hide 
itself— Isaiah  29  :  13. 

'I  he  wisdom  of  their  wise  men  is  lost ;  for  the 
Rabbles  expres.''ly  ttach  Ihephiltak  h„'ocavaii- 
ah  Cagooph  b"lo  n'^a^iamah  "  Worship  without 
devotion  (inward  thought)  is  like  a  holy  with- 
out u  soul. '  Aud  Mendelsshon,  seventy  five 
years  ago  expressed  himself  in  his  Jerusa'era, 
(Leeser's  Translation,  p.  13)  in  the  following 
terms  :  "'The  State  can  content  itself  with  ac- 
tions which  do  not  spring  from  convicti(«ii,  if 
nothing  else  can  be  obtained  ;  with  work  with- 
out spirit ;  wiih  agreem<;nt  in  deeds  wiihout 
agreement  in  thoughts.  Not  so  with  Religion  : 
she  knows  no  action  wFihout  sentiment  and 
conviction  ;  no  work  without  spirit ;  no  agree- 
ment in  deed  without  agreement  in  thought. 
Religious  actions  without  religious  idears,  are 
an  unmeaning  puppet  show  ;  Uhd  constitute  no 
Divine  worship  ;"  but  the  wisdcm  of  our  wise 
men  is  lost  ;  and  the  intelligence  of  the  intelli- 
gent has  to  hide  Irself.  Thus  there  is  no  spir- 
itual communion  of  souls  ;  no  edification  ;  no 
instruction  ;  instead  of  worship  we  have  the 
form  of  such  ;  and  the  synagogue  is  deserted 
generally  by  the  best  and  worst  of  her  children. 

According  to  the  regulation  of  the  ancient 
Rabbles,  the  Sheboo  oth  (as  are  the  other 
holy  days,  except  the  day  of  atonement,)  is 
observed  two  days.  But  in  Jerusalem,  as  in 
several  congregations  iu  Europe  and  in  this 
country,  the  Scriptural  one-day  only  is  consid- 
ered holy. 

It  is  the  custom  to  ornament  the  dwelling 
houses  and  the  Synagogue  with  flowers,  gar- 
lands, and  trees. 

The  day,  it  properly  observed,  is  highly  cal- 
culated to  call  forth  in  us  feelings  of  reverence, 
of  gratitude  and  pi>»ty. 

It  is  the  day  of  the  spiritual  birth  of  Israel ; 
it  is  the  day  when  Israel  was  chosen  to  be  a 
kingdom  of  priests  and  a  holy  nation,  i.e.  to 
be  exalted  to  dignity  and  honor  as  forerunners 
of  civilisation,  and  propagators  of  a  true  sys- 
tem of  divinity  ;  and  to  be  separated  and  con* 
servated  to  the  service  of  the  One  and  Only  God. 
It  is  the  day  when  Israel  promised  a  faithful 
allegiance  to  his  God  and  Redeemer.  It  is  a 
day  that  has  been  fraught  with  iucalculable 
blessing  to  Israel  and  to  the  Gentile.  May  it 
again  exercise  its  sanctifying  power  over  Israel, 
as  in  the  days  of  old.  May  again  the  voice 
which  still  re-echoes  from  Sinai  strike  to  the 
heart  of  Israel,  that  they,  in  reverential  awe, 
will  vow  "  all  that  the  Lord  has  said  we  will 
practice  and  obey." 

We  have  partially  described  the  natural  sce- 
nery of  Mount  Sinai ;  we  have  now  briefly 
sketched  the  religious  importance  of  the  day  ; 
it  remains  now  to  speak  of  the  remarkable 
phenomena  attendant  at  the  propagation  of 
the  Decalogue,  as  also  the  true  definition  of  the 
word  Revelation,  which,  please  God,  we  hope 
to  be  able  to  give  at  an  early  day. 

The  man  who  refers  himself  wholly  to  God 
is  enabled  thereby  to  do  many  good  deeds  ; 
and  rendering  faithfully  all  honour  to  him,  it 
is  incredible  what  wonders  God  works  by  that 
man's  means. 


SACRED  TOPOGRAPHY. 

Mount  Sinai. 

"  About  10  o'clock  we  left  our  gloomy  cells, 
n  t  by  tie  window  thrOugh  which  onr  ascent 
had  been  I'ch  cvod.  but  by  a  !ow  arched  paflSHge , 
Imost  pcrftctiy  dark,  and  barely  wide  enough 
to  allow  of  our  egress  with  particular  inconve- 
nience. It  is  secured  with  iron  doors,  scarcely 
four  ftfet  in  height.  After  fi  eling  our  way  with 
our  heads  bowed  low  towards  the  earth,  to 
avoid  a  contact  with  the  t'lp  of  the  psssHge, 
the  distance  of,  perhnp?,  fifty  yards,  we  found 
ou  selves  in  the  garden  of  the  convent.  Com 
pared  with  all  I  had  seen  during  this  journey, 
it  was  a  paradise  indeed.  The  industry  of 
m  in  ha-i  here  achieved  a  complete  victory  over 
the  sterility  of  nature.  Tail  cypresses,  olives, 
pomegranates,  apricots,  almond,  pear,  fig,  apple 
and  other  fruit  trees,  many  of  them  now  in  full 
bloom,  presented  a  scene  of  luxuriant  beauty 
peculiarly  grateful  to  the  eye  after  its  long  and 
painful  familiarity  with  bare  rocks,  and  arid, 
gloomy  wastes  of  sand. 

Visiters  have  free  use  of  this  entrance  during 
the  day,  and  by  it  ladies  are  admitted  into  the 
convent.  From  the  garden  we  passed  through 
an  open  ga'e,  kept  by  a  porter,  to  the  narrow, 
rocky  slope  that  lies  between  the  convent  and 
the  mountain.  We  then  proceeded  southward 
for  a  quarter  of  an  hour,  jvhen  we  arrived  at 
the  bottom  of  a  narrow,  sti'cp  raviue.  which 
leads  up  towards  the  top  of  sinai.  The  ascent 
is  diflBcult  and  extremely  laborious.  Rough 
masFes  of  granite  have  been  arranged  into  a 
kind  of  stairs  a  great  part  of  the  way  ;  but 
many  of  them  are  now  displaced,  and  no  skill 
seems  to  have  been  u?ed  in  chor  sing  the  most 
eligible  route,  or  in  obviating  the  natural  diffi- 
culties of  the  ascent.  The  ravine  is  choked  up 
by  rolling  stones  and  many  huge  masses  of 
rock,  which  have  been  arrested  in  their  descent 
from  the  higher  regions  of  the  mountain.  Fre- 
quent detours  are  neccss  iry  to  pass  around 
projecting  points  in  the  rock,  and  at  the  end  of 
more  than  an  hour  we  found  ourselves  but  half 
way  up  the  toilsome  steep. 

Several  objects  of  interest  occur  on  the  way 
to  invite  momentary  repose  and  lighten  the 
toils  of  the  ascent.  Beautiful  fountains  burst 
out  of  the  rock,  and  form  a  sparkling  torrent, 
which  runs  along  the  bottom  of  the  ravine, 
sinking  sometimes  under  the  shelving  rocks  and 
immense  accumulations,  and  again  reappearing. 
We  shivered  with  cold  bffore  reaching  the 
summit  of  the  mountain.  We  were  first  stop- 
ped by  our  guide,  a  monk  from  the  convent,  to 
examine  a  fountain  which  springs  up  in  a  deep 
grot  formed  by  an  overhanging  mass  of  granite. 
He  assigned  to  it  a  miraculous  origin  in  con- 
nection with  a  holy  shoemaker,  concerning 
whom  he  related  a  silly  story.  A  little  farther 
on  is  a  chapel,  dedicated  to  the  Virgin,  built  of 
rough,  unhewn  stones,  and  destitute  of  all  ele- 
gance or  ornament.  It  stands  upon  a  spot 
where  the  Holy  Mother  is  said  to  have  appeared 
to  the  monks  when,  in  a  fit  of  despondency, 
they  were  preparing  to  desert  the  sacred  pre- 
cincts about  Mount  Sinai.  She  encouraged 
them  to  remain,  promising  exemption  from  the 
plague  and  from  vernin  iu  all  future  time — a 
pledge  which  they  affirm  she  has  fully  redeemed. 
The  situation  was  well  suited  for  retirement  ; 
quiet  and  isolated,  but  not  dreary,  and  fitted 
for  a  calm  and  contemplative  spirit.  Paul 
was  particularly  struck  with  it ;  and,  in  a  mo- 
ment of  enthusiasm,  said  he  would  like  to  end 
his  days  there  ;  and,  with  his  characteristic 
prudence,  asked  if  ho  could  get  his  meals  from 
the  convent.  The  monk  (who  served  as  guide) 
did  not  approve  the  enthusiasm,  says  the  au- 
thor of"  Incidents  of  Travel,"  of  his  interpreter, 
and  answered  that  there  were  no  hermits  now  ; 
that  all  men  thought  too  much  of  eating  and 
drinking,  and  indulging  in  luxuries. 

Another  laborious  effort  along  the  steep 
path,  which  was  here  overhung  by  tall  clifls, 
brought  us  to  a  small  gateway,  to  which  the 
projecting  points  of  rock  at  this  place  narrowed 


the  ravine.  Here,  as  we  are  told,  a  porter  vol 
formeely  stationed,  to  whom  a  permission  frogl 
the  controlling  authority  of  the  establiBbmeDi 
was  delivered  by  those  who  wished  to  bbcpikI 
to  the  top  of  Sinai.  This  precaution  was  pn 
oaoiy  SuggoBiCu  uy  ioc  aangvr  oi  t-nt 
and  is  now  neglected  when  no  longer  necessaril 
In  a  few  minutes  more  we  reached  anotheT 
gate,  similar  to  the  first,  and  built  for  a  aimilJ 
purpose,  where  a  second  permission  was 
quired  :  an  excess  of  caution  which  shows  tlJ 
fears  of  the  monks  no  less  than  the  actual  pcriij 
of  the  times. 

Nothing  can  exceed  the  grandeur  of  tlii| 
view  enjoyed  by  the  spectator  on  this  part  i 
the  route,  especially  when  he  tarns  and  looicl 
down  upon  the  yawning  gulf  he  has  left  behiij 
him.  Before  him  opens  an  unexpected  sceJ 
of  loveliness.  There  is  a  deep  valley,  bound«| 
on  the  right  and  left  by  tall,  bare  cliffs.  J 
magnificent  and  graceful  cypress,  planted  hi 
the  monks  about  a  century  ago,  and  the  ooll 
tree  on  the  mountain,  rises  near  its  centre,  iJ 
vites  the  weary  pilgrim  to  repose  in  its  shadel 
and  a  well  of  excellent  water  offers  him  iJ 
welcome  refreshment.  Favored  by  the  C0Dg^| 
nial  moisture  of  this  elevated  region,  small  ploiil 
of  grass  flourish  with  a  luxuriance  unknown  ill 
the  valleys  below.  Our  guide  here  kindled! 
fire,  and  urged  us  to  partake  of  a  cup  of  cofffil 
He  consented,  however,  to  carry  his  apparatisl 
and  provisions  to  the  summit  of  the  monntaitl 
whither  we  were  anxious  to  proceed  witboii.| 
father  delay. 

At  a  little  distance  beyond  this  delicicKJ 
resting-place  is  a  small  cliapel,  rudely  coil 
structed,  like  all  the  edifices  on  the  Holil 
Mount,  and  dedicated  to  the  prophet  Eiiail 
Here,  according  to  the  tradition,  that  wondwl 
fol  man  had  the  memorable  interview  with  tli'l 
Almighty,  after  his  flight  from  the  persecutitij 
rage  of  Jezebel.  Near  it  is  a  fountaiil 
called  the  fountain  of  Elias,  which  thil 
prophet  is  said  to  have  dug  wjth  hill 
own  hands,  before  he  was  ordered  to  retnrtl 
to  Jerusalem.  It  is  certain  that  Montil 
Horeb  afforded  a  refuge  to  the  prophet,  bml 
that  this  is  the  precise  spot  where  he  heard  tinl 
stiil  small  voice  which  followed  the  thuDtiel 
and  the  earthquake,  can  hardly  be  known  wiiLl 
certainty.  Our  credulous  guide,  who  takal 
the  most  marvellous  account  for  the  trutl 
showed  us  the  cavern  where  the  prophet  sUfl 
and  even  the  tomb  where  he  was  buried.  ll 
coarse,  heavy  portrait  which  hangs  iu  tbi 
chapel  passes  for  that  of  Elijah. 

The  top  of  the  mountain  still  rose  higij 
above  us,  and  the  undiminished  toil  of  till 
ascent  was  compensated  by  the  increasiifl 
sublimity  of  the  view.  The  atmosphere  waij 
now  chilly,  and  the  rocks,  down  which  tbI 
water  of  a  small  rivulet  trickled,  were  cover«l 
with  ice.  In  two  hours  and  a  quarter  fro«l 
the  commencement  of  the  ascent,  not  includiii!| 
stops,  we  had  reached  the  summit  of  Sinai. 

Two  small  buildings  nearly  covered  the  level 
in  which  the  mountain  terminates,  the  one  ij 
Christian  chapel,  the  other  a  mosque.  Tkl 
first  edifice  covers,  according  to  the  teachiijl 
of  the  monks,  the  spot  where  the  AlmigH!! 
dictated  the  law  to  Moses.  Just  by,  we  wcnl 
shown  a  grotto  where  the  prophet  was  ehtfj 
tered  while  the  glory  of  God  passed  by,  m 
from  which  he  was  indulged  with  such  a  vie'j 
of  the  Divine  presence  as  is  allowed  to  a  morf 
tal.  Our  guide  crept  under  the  shelving  rod, I 
and  put  himself  in  the  attitude  of  Moses,  whoa 
he  represented  as  peeping  through  a  Bn*l[ 
hole.  In  the  same  place  and  posture  he  »"  I 
when  he  wrote  the  law  as  it  was  dictated  Wj 
him  by  the  Almighty.  It  was  painful  to  listf« 
to  tales  of  credulity  and  fiction  uttered  in  sue' 
a  place. 

(To  be'Continued.) 

The  spirit  of  a  good  man  does  not  strive  M

to  do  well  what  he  undertakes,  and  that  purel'  | 
for  the  love  of  God.

Mingled  their  mossy  boughs,  and   from  the 

sonnd 
Of  the  invisible  breath,  that  swayed  at  once 
All  their  green  tops,  stole  over  him,  and  bowed 
His  spirit  with  the  thought  of  boundless  Power 
And  inaccessible  Majesty.    Ah !  why 
Should  we,  in  the  world's  riper  years,  neglect 
God's  ancient  sanctuaries,  and  adore 
Only  among  the  crowd,  and  under  roofs 
That  onr  frail  hands  have  raised  ?     Let  me,  at 

least, 
Here,  in  the  shadow  of  this  aged  wood. 
Offer  one  hymn  ;  thrice  happay,  if  it  find 
Acceptance  in  his  ear. 

Father,  thy  hand 
Hath  reared  these  venerable  columns  ;  thou 
Diust  weave  these  n&keu  roofs, 
A£<  now    they  stand,    massy,  and    tall,  and 

dark. 
Fit  shrine  for  humble  worshipper  to  hold 
Communion  with  his   Maker.     Here  are  seen 
No  traces  of  man's  pomp  or  pride ;  no  silks 
Rustle,  no  jewels  shine,  nor  envious  eyes 
Encounter  ;  no  fantastic  carvings  show 
The  boast  of  our  vain  race  to  change  the  form 
Of  thy  fair  works.     But  thou  art  here  ;  thou 

fill'st 
The  solitude.    Thou  art  in  the  soft  winds 
That  run  along  the  summits  of  these  trees 
In  music  ;  thou  art  in  the  cooler  breath, 
That,  from  the  inmost  dakness  of  the  place. 
Comes,  scarcely   felt  ;  the  barky   trunks,  the 

ground. 
The  hard,  broken  ground,  are  all  instinct  with 

tbee. 

Here  is  continual  worship  ;  nature,  here. 
In  the  tranquillity  that  thou  dost  love. 
Enjoys  thy  presence.     Noiseless,  around, 
From  perch  to  perch,  the  solitary  bird 
Passes  ;  and  yon  clear   spring,  that,  midst  its 

herbs, 
Wells  softly  forth,  and  visits  the  strong  roots 
Of  h:ilf  the  mighty  forest,  tells  no  tale 
Of  all  the  good  it  does.     Thou  hast  not  left 
Thyself  without  a  witness,  in  these  shades, 
Of  thy  perfections.     Grandeur,  strength   and 

grace, 
Are  here  to  speak  of  thee.    This  mighty  rock 
By  whose   immovable  stem   I  stand,  and  seem 
Almost  annihilated — not  a  prince. 
In  all  the  proud  old  world  beyound   the  deep> 
E'er  wore  his  crown  as  loftly  as  he. 

My  heart  is  awed  within  me,  when  I  think 
Of  the  great  miracle  that  still  goes  on. 
In  silence,  round  me — the  perpetual  work 
Of  thy  creation,  finished,  yet  renewed 
Forever.     Written  on  thy  works,  I  read , 
The  lesson  of  thy  own  eternity. 
Lo !  all  grow  old  and  die ;  but  see,  again, 
How,  on  the  faltering  footsteps  of  decay, 
Youth  presses — ever  gay  and  beaatiful  youth 
In  all  its  beautiful  forms.    These  lofty  trees 
Wave  not  less  proudly  that  their  ancestors 
Mould  beneath  them.    Oh  !  there  is  not  lost 
One  of  earth's  charms  ;  upon  her  bosom  yet, 
After  the  flight  of  untold  centuries, 
The  freshness  of  her  far  beginning  lies. 
And  yet  shall  lie.    Life  mocks  the  idle  hate 
Of  his  arch  enemy  Death  ;  yea,  seats  himself 
Upon  the  sepulchre,  and  blooms  and  smiles, 
And  of  the  triumphs  of  his  gastly  foe 
Makes  his  own  nourishment.    For  he  came 

forth 
From  thine  own  bosom,  and  shall  have  no  end. 


There  have  been  holy  men,  who  hid  them 

selves 
Deep  in  the  rocky  wilderness,  and  gave 
Their  lives  to  thought  and  prayer,  till  they 

outlived 

The  generation  born  with  them,  nor  seemed 

Less  aged  than  the  hoary  cliffs  and  rocks 
Aronnd  them  ;  and  there  have  been  holy  men, 
Who  deemed  it  were  not  well  to  pass  life  thus. 
But  let  me  often  to  these  solitudes 
Retire,  and,  in  thy  presence  reassure 
My  feeble  virtue.     Here,  its  enemies, 
The  passions,  at  thy  plainer  footsteps,  shrink, 
And  tremble,  and  are  still. 

O  Oo<l !  when  thou 
Dost  scare  the  world  with  tempests,  set  on  fire 
The  heavens  with  falling  thunderbolts,  or  fill^ 
With  all  the  waters  of  the  firmament. 
The  swift,  dark   whirlwind,  that  uproots  the 

woods, 

And  drowns  the  villages  ;  when,  at  thy  call. 

Uprises  the  great  deep,  and  throws  himself 

Upon  the  continent,  and  overwhelms 

lis  cities  ;— who  forgets  not,  at  the  sight 

Of  these  tremendous  tokens  of  the  power 

His  pride,  and  lays  his  strifes  and  follies  by  ? 

Oh  !  from  these  sterner  aspects  of  thy  face 

Spare  me  and  mine  ;  nor  let  us  need  the  wrath 

Of  the  mad,  unchained  elements,  to  teach 

Who  rules  them.     Be  it  ours  to  meditate, 

In  thise  calm  shades,  thy  milder  majesty, 

xsf-ihy- 

Ivearn  to  conform  the  order  of  our  lives.

Influence  of  Music. 

"But  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  departed  fron. 
Saul,  and  an  evil  spirit  from  the  Loan  troubled 
him. 

"And  Saul  said  unto  hie  servants.  Provide 
me  now  a  man  that  can  play  well,  and  bring 
him  to  me. 

"Wherefore  Saul  sent  messengers  unto  Jesse, 
and  said.  Send  me  David  thy  son,  which  ia 
with  the  sheep. 

"  And  Jpsse  took  an  ass  laden  with  bread, 
and  a  bottle  of  wine,  and  a  kid,  and  sent  them 
by  David  his  son  unlo  Saul. 

"  Ahd  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  evil  spirit 
from  God  was  upon  Saul,  that  David  took  sn 
harp,  and  played  wi'.h  bis  hand  :  so  Saul  was 
refreshed,  and  was  well,  and  the  evil  spirit  de- 
parted from  him." 

1.  Samuel,  xv!.,  14,  17,  19,  20,  2.3. 

Saul,  iu  consequence  of  disobedience,  for- 
feited his  kingdom  :  he  was  told  that  a  better 
man  was  to  be  seated  on  the  throne  of  Israel. 
This  denunciation  with  the  burden  of  the  realm 
sunk  deep  into  the  soul  of  the  king.  "Who 
is  to  be  my  rival  ?  When  is  he  to  bo  invested 
with  my  kingdom  ?  How  is  he  to  get  posses- 
sion of  it  ?  Are  the  horrors  of  civil  war  to 
shake  my  dominion  ?  What  is  to  be  the  fate 
of  my  numerous  family  ?  These  and  similar 
thoughts  brooded  over  the  mind  of  the  first 
king  of  Israel,  after  his  disobedience  to  the 
command  of  the  Prophet. 

The  mind  of  this  prince,  not  in  his  best  for- 
tunes strong,  gradually  gave  way  beneath  the 
terror  of  these  thoughts, — the  certainty  of  his 
doom  aud  the  uncertain  shapes  in  which  it 
appeared,  He  sunk  into  a  deep  melanchohj, 
which  being  regarded  as  a  Divine  judgment,  it 
is  said  that  "  an  evil  spirit  troubled  him  ;  and 
surely  no  man  living  needs  a  heavier  chastise- 
ment from  Almighty  God,  than  the  leaving 
him  to  himself — the  letting  his  own  passions 
loose  upon  him.  The  consequence  to  the  mind 
would,  I  apprehend,  in  that  case,  be  much  the 
same  as  it  would  be  to  the  body,  if  the  restrain 
ing  pressure  of  the  air  were  removed,  and  all 
the  muscles,  vessels  and  humors  left  to  the  full 
freedom  of  their  own  powers  and  tendencies. 

After  many  other  remedies  had,  no  donbt, 
been  tried,  it  was  suggested  that  something 
might  yet  be  hoped  from  music,  the  power  of 
which  over  the  diseases  of  t)  e  mind  was  well 
understood  in  times  of  old.  The  king  caught 
eagerly  at  this  idea,  and  directed  that  the  ser- 
vices of  some  accomplished  minstrel  should  be 
secured.  It  would  seem,  that  although  music 
was  much  cultivated,  the  profession  of  the 
musician  did  not  exist ;  for  if  it  did,  some  one 
of  professional  fame  would  no  doubt  have  been 
named.    This  was  not  done ;  but  some  one 


present  remembered  that  he  had  not  long  since 
seen  "  a  son  of  Jesse  the  Bethlehemite,"  whom 
he  then  mentioned  by  that  designation,  not 
only  as  one  "  tkilful  in  playing,"  but  also  as  a 
youth  of  great  abilities  and  acknowledged 
valor  ;  nor  was  his  handsome  person  forgotten, 
nor  tJie  still  more  important  &ct,  that  "  the 
Lord  was  with  him," — a  phrase  denoting  a 
religious  man,  whom  the  Lord  seemed  to  have 
favorably  distinguished  in  his  providence  and 
grace. 

This  was  the  cause  which  led  Saul  to  sum- 
mon JUii^id  to  his  presence.  The  distance  was 
not  great — about  ten  miles  ;  and  the  youth 
reached  Gibeah  the  same  day  that  he  left  his 
home.  He  delayed  not  to  present  himself  be- 
fore the  king,  who  little  thought,  as  he  looked 
upon  the  comely  youth  who  stood  before  him, 
that  he  beheld  in  him  the  unknown  rival  who 
haunted  his  repose,  and  the  destined  heir  of  his 
sceptre.  It  was  the  faculty  of  David  to  wir, 
with  udconscious  ease,  the  hcairtB  of  all  who 
were  brought  within  the  sphere  of  his  influence. 
Even  the  austere  and  troubled  Saul  was  no 
exception.  "  He  loved  him  greatly,"  and  speed- 
ily sent  back  to  Jesse  the  message, — "  Let 
David,  I  pray  thee,  stand  before  me,  for  he 
hath  found  favor  in  my  sight."  So  David  re- 
mained at  court  ;  and  when  one  of  Saul's  fits 
came  upon  him.  he  took  his  hurp  and  played 
before  him,   and   gradually   the  king's  spirit 

Setded  to  the  sweet  sounds  which  the  master 
hand  drew  from  the  wires,  and  "  he  was  refresh- 
ed, and  was  well,  and  the  evil  spirit  departed 
from  him." 

This  remarkable  instance  of  the  power  of 
music  over  the  mind,  especially  in  soothing  its 
perturbations  and  allaying  its  disorders,  is  in 
conformity  with  the  experience  of  physicians, 
and  with  various  intimations  which  may  be 
found  in  ancient  authors.  More  or  less  so  are 
those  other  Scriptural  instances,  which  evince 
the  power  of  music  over  the  moods  of  even 
the  sanest  minds,  as  in  the  case  of  Elit^ha,  who 
called  for  the  aid  of  a  minstrel  to  bring  his 
mind  into  the  frame  best  suited  to  receive  the 
impulses  of  the  prophetic  spirit. — ii.  Kings  .1, 
15.  One  would  almost  think,  that  there  was 
some  power  in  ancient  music,  which  has  since 
been  lost,  or  that  there  existed,  amid  the  simple 
manners  of  ancient  times,  a  susceptibility  to 
the  influence  of  sweet  and  solemn  sounds,  which 
has  been  lost  in  the  multitudinous  business  and 
varied  pursuits  of  modern  existence.  But,  in 
truth,  the  wonderful  effects  so  often  described, 
resulted  from  the  concurrence  of  masterly  skill 
in  the  minstrel,  with  a  peculiar  sensibility  to 
the  influence  of  sweet  sounds  in  the  patient. 
And  that,  where  this  concurrence  is  found,  it 
will  still  produce  the  same  effect  as  of  old,  one 
or  two  "  modern  instances"  may  be  cited  to 
show. 

In  the  Memoires  of  the  French  Royal  Acad- 
emy of  Sciences,  for  1707,  are  recorded  many 
accounts  of  diseases,  which,  having  obstinately 
resisted  the  remedies  prescribed  by  the  most 
able  of  the  faculty,  at  length  yielded  to  the 
powerful  impression  of  harmony.  One  of  these 
is  the  case  of  a  person  who  was  seized  with 
fever,  which  soon  threw  him  into  a  very  violent 
delirium,  almost  without  any  interval,  accom- 
panied by  bitter  cries,  by  tears,  by  terrors,  and 
by  an  almost  constant  wakefulness.  On  the 
third  day,  a  hint  that  fell  from  himself  suggest- 
ed the  idea  of  trying  the  effect  of  music.  Grad- 
ually, as  the  strain  proceeded,  his  troubled 
visage  relaxed  into  a  most  serene  expression, 
his  restless  eyes  became  tranquil,his  convulsions 
^  ceased,  and  the  fever  absolutely  left  him.  It  is 
true,  that  when  the  music  was  distontinued  his 
■symptoms  returned  ;  but,  by  frequent  repeti- 
tions of  the  experiment,  during  which  the  de- 
lirium always  ceased,  the  power  of  the  disea'e 
was  broken,  and  the  habits  of  a  sound  mind  re- 
established. Six  days  sufficed  to  accomplish 
the  cure. 

It  is  stated  by  Thaunus,  that  after  the  mas- 
sacre of  St.  Bartholomew,  the  sleep  of  Charles 
IX.  was  wont  to  be  disturbed  by  nightly  hor- 


rors, and  he  could  only  be  composed  to  rest  by 
a  symphony  of  singing  boys. 

At  the  first  grand  performance  in  commemo- 
ration of  Handel  at  Westminster  Abbey,  Mr. 
Burton,  a  noted  chorus  singer,  was  immediate- 
ly^ upon  <bf>  pommpnfpmpnt  of  tli£  D'erture  of 
Esther,  so  violently  agitated,  that  after  Ijing 
in  a  fainting  fit  for  some  time,  he  expired.  At 
intervals  he  was  ab!e  to  speak  ;  and  but  a  few 
minutes  before  he  drew  his  last  breath,  he  de- 
clared that  it  was  the  wonderful  effect  of  the 
music  which  had  operated  so  powerfully  upon 
him.  Dr.  Halifax,  then  Bishop  of  (Jloucester, 
was  so  greatly  affected  during  one  of  the  per- 
formances of  the  Messiah,  at  this  commemora- 
tion, that  he  greatly  wished  to  quit  the  place, 
fearing  that  he  should  be  entirely  overcome. 

More  remarkable,  as  well  as  more  truly  par- 
allel, is  the  case  of  Philip  V.  of  Spain  and  the 
musician  Farinelli,  in  the  last  century.  The 
king  was  seized  with  a  total  dejection  of  spir- 
its, which  made  him  refuse  to  be  shaved,  and 
incapable  of  appearing  in  council  or  of  attend- 
ing to  any  affairs.  The  queen,  after  all  other 
methods  had  been  essayed,  thought  of  trying 
what  might  be  effected  by  the  influence  of 
music,  to  which  the  king  was  known  to  be 
highly  susceptible.  We  have  no  doubt  that 
the  experiment  was  suggested  to  her  by  this 
case  of  Saul  and  David.  The  celebritod  mu>. 
sician  Farinelli  was  invited  to  Spain  ;  and,  on 
his  arrival,  it  was  contrived  that  there  should 
be  a  concert  in  a  room  adjoining  the  king's 
apartment,  in  which  the  artist  should  perform 
oneofhismoet  captivating  songs.  The  king 
appeared  surprised  at  first,  then  greatly  moved ; 
and,  at  the  end  of  the  second  air,  he  summonsd 
the  musician  to  his  apartment,  and,  loading 
him  with  compliments  and  caresses,  asked  him 
how  he  could  reward  such  talents,  aasuring 
him  that  he  could  refuse  him  nothing.  Fari- 
nelli, previously  tutored,  answered  that  he  de« 
sired  nothing  but  that  his  majesty  would  per-^ 
mit  his  attendants  to  shave  and  dress  him,  and 
that  he  would  endeavor  to  make  his  appearance 
in  ^he  council  as  usual.  The  king  yielded,  and 
from  this  time  his  disease  gave  way,  and  the 
musician  had  all  the  honor  of  the  cure.  By 
singing  to  his  majesty  every  evening,  hie  favor 
increased  to  such  a  degree,  that  he  came  to  be 
regarded  as  first  minister,  iu  which  capacity 
he  conducted  himself  with  such  propriety  and 
discretion,  that  the  proud  Spanish  nobles  about 
the  court,  instead  of  envying  his  prosperity, 
honored  him  with  their  esteem  and  confidence. 
This  favor  he  did  not  forfeit  under  Philip's 
successor  (Ferdinnnd  VI.),  who  made  him  a 
knight  of  Calfttrava,  and  employed  him  in  po- 
litical affairs. 

Nevada  Hebrew  Benevolent  Society. 

Owing  to  the  absence  from  home  of  several 
of  our  members,  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Nevada  Hebrew  Society,  which  ought  to  have 
been  held  on  or  about  the  4th  day  of  Pesab, 
did  not  come  ofl"  until  the  10th  of  May,  when 
the  following  gentlemen  were  duly  elected  offi- 
cers of  the  society  for  the  ensuing  term  : 

Mr.  R.  RICE,  President. 

Mr.  L.  STIEFEL,  Vice  President. 

Mr.  D.  LACHMAN,  Treasurer. 

Mr.  M.  W.  PEYSER,  Sec'ry  (re-elected.) 

DIRErTORS. 

Messrs.  H.  Baruh,  IJ.  Ivachman  and  L.  Samuel, 
of  Nevada  :  J.  Berwald  and  N.  Fish,  of 
Grass  Valley. 

It  was  then,  on  motion,  unanimously — 
Resolved,  That  a  vote  of  thanks  be  tendered 
to  Mr.  Jacob  l^ohlman,  who  now  retires  from 
the  chair,  for  the  gentlemanly  and  able  manner 
in  W'Mbh  he  conducted  the  business  of  the  So- 
ciety ;  and  also  to  the  retiring  Board  of  Offi- 
cers for  tJ^ir  valuable  services  to  the  Society, 
and  that  the  Secretary  be  directed  to  commu- 
nicate these  proceedings  to  the  "  Gleaner,"  for 
publication.  M.  W.  Petsik, 

Sec'ry  Nevada  Hebrew  Society. 
Nevada,  May  19, 1857. 

He   who  endevors  to  mend  the  manners  of 
the  age  in  which  he  lives,  will  depend  upon  the 
malice  of  the  many  for  his  fame,  and  the  char-- 
ity  of  the  few  for  bis  bread.

The  Orphan  Girl. 

I  HAVE  no  motber !  for  she  died 

When  I  was  very  yonng 
But  still  her  memory  roud  my  heart 

Like  morning  mists  ha^ung. 

They  tell  mc  of  an  angel  form, 

That  watched  me  while  I  slept, 
And  of  a  soft  and  gentle  hand 
TbaA  wijjed  U^e  t«tHF«  I  we^t-i 

And  that  same  hand  that  held  my  own, 

When  I  began  to  walk  : 
The  joy  that  sparkled  in  her  eyes 

When  first  I  tried  to  talk. 

They  say  the  moahcr's  heart  is  pleased 
When  infant  charms  expand  ; 

I  wonder  if  she  thinks  of  me 
In  that  bright,  happy  land. 

I  know  she  is  in  heaven  now, 

That  holy  place  of  rest ; 
For  she  wus  always  good  to  all, — 

The  good  alone  are  blest. 

I  remember,  too,  when  I  was  ill, 
She  kissed  my  burning  brow  ; 

The  tCHr  that  fell  upon  my  cheek, 
I  think  I  feel  it  now. 

And  I  have  got  some  lit  lie  books, 
She  thuught  nie  how  to  spell ; 

The  chiding  or  the  kiss  .she  gave 
I  still  remember  well. 

And  then  she  usek  to  kneel  with  me, 

And  tt  uch  me  how  to  pray, 
And  raise  my  little  hands  to  heaven, 

And  till  mc  what  tj  say. 

Oh  mother,  mother  !  in  my  heart 

Thy  image  still  shall  be, 

And  I  will  hope  in  heaven  at  lust 

'I  hat  I  may  meet  with  tiiee.

THE  FAMILY. 


Address  to  Mothers. 
Of  all   the  affection  rooted  in   the   human 
heart,  the  love  of  a  mother  is  the  deepest,  the 


moat  disinterested  and  the  most  enduring  ;  this 
feeling  is  as  universal  as  man, — and  the  source 
so  deep  that  cnly  the  eye  of  Him  who  impres- 
sed it  can  fathom  it.  '■  Can  a  woman  forget 
her  suckling  child,  that  the  should  LOt  have 
conipa.'sion  on  the  son  to  whom  sLc  gave 
birth  ?"  Oh,  the  love  of  a  mother  !  She  will 
cheerfully  wear  herself  out  to  alleviate  the 
siirtl-rin^  of  a  single  child.  Time  and  distance 
do  notl.'iug  towards  relinqui.-hin?  the  etcinal 
flume  that  kindles  in  her  heart.  Her  offspring 
may  scatter  to  the  four  quarters  of  the  globe, 
but  neither  rivers,  mountains  nor  seas  can 
unloose  the  bonds  of  maternal  love  to  her 
childrdn. 

Now,  why  las  God  planted  this  deep,  this 
wujuemliable,  irrepressible  love  for  her  offspring, 
in  the  mother's  heart  ?  Does  he  do  any  thing 
in  vain  ?  Did  he  ever  rear  a  mountain,  or 
hollow  out  the  basin  for  the  great  waters,  or 
even  leave  the  impression  of  his  hand  anywhere 
in  nature — much  more  on  the  heart — unless 
that  hand  was  guided  by  infinite  wisdom  ?  No, 
— he  had  a  design  in  all  this,  and  a  design 
worthy  of  himself.  All  do  not  see  it, — all  do 
not  itstn  it.  1  ut?  Itiuttkt)  mt>ixit7f~  wittt  hongs  iier 
infimt  to  the  bow  of  the  tree,  and  sings  her 
wood-song  while  the  winds  rock  it, — thinks  no 
further  than  to  rear  up  her  child  to  be  a  warrior 
or  a  hunter ; — the  African  mother  who  carries 
her  infant  on  her  back  to  her  daily  toil,  may 
think  no  further  than  that  he  may  be  a  slave 
under  a  kind  master  ;  and  many  a  mother 
claiming  high  intelligence  and  refinement,  thinks 
no  further  than  to  rear  up  her  child  to  share 
and  enjoy  wealth,  pleasures,  notice  and  distinc- 
tions. With  what  pride  does  she  gaze  upon 
her  little  daughter,  hoping  she  shall  yet  see 
her  excite  the  admiration  of  the  briuht  circle ! 
How  will  her  heart  doat,  when  that  i.ifiuit  boy 
shall  stand  the  Brst  in  the  uuiversity,  the  fiiat 
in  his  profession,  and  among  the  f.rst  in  the 
nation !  ^s  such  mothers  bend  ever  their 
children  in  all  the  tenderness  of  maternal  love 
and  solicitude,  they  have  no  conception  of  the 
design  of  God  in  creating  that  feeling  which 
looks  down  into  the  future,  and  iivos  in  poster- 
ity. May  we  not  fear  there  are  too  many  who 
profess  to  believe  in  God  and  in  an  immortality 
who,  day  by  day,  go  no  further  in  their  views 
than  merely  to  train  up  their  chiKirsn  for 
earth  ?  I  do  hope  there  are  none  of  this  de- 
scription who  will  read  these  pages  ;  but  if 
there  are  not,  my  readers  will  be  very  few,  or 
very  uncommon  indeed. 

What  are  correct  views  on  this  subject  ? 
Why  is  a  love  so  deep,  plantel  in  the  bosom  of 
the  mother,  that  no  language  can  describe  it  ? 
You  have  seen  the  child  die,  and  heard  the 
lamentations  of  the  father.  The  waitings  of 
David  over  his  son,  still  liug  in  our  ears  ;  but 
the  sorrows  of  the  bereaved  mother  are  too 
deep  for  wailing.  You  never  hear  her  voice  on 
such  an  occasion.  Nature  has  given  her  no 
means  by  which  to  convey  the  ag'Uy  of  her 
sorrows  !  Why  has  God  created  this  love  in 
her  heart  ? 

1  will  try  to  tell  you.  It  is  becau'e  he  com- 
mits to  her  first,  constant  and  immediate  keep 
ing,  a  trea.snro  too  importimt  to  be  entrusted 
to  a  love  that  can  be  measured!  When  he 
gives  to  the  mother  a  child,  what  docs  he  do? 
He  has  made  a  new  creation  ;  ho  has  created  a 
MIND,  which  is  to  think,  and  feel,  to  live,  grow 
and  expand— forever! — a  mind,  which  is  to  act 
on  other  miuds,  and  influence  their  destiny  for 
eternity, — «  mind  which  is  to  be  a  vessel  into 
which  blessings  or  woes  are  to  be  pured, — and 
from  which  blessings  or  woes  are  to  flow  upon 
other  minds  forever  1  A  new  spirit  is  placed 
under  the  care  of  that  mother,  which  is  surely 
to  track  its  way  in  the  eternal  world,  and  in 
its  train  carry  joy  or  misery— not  for  a  day,  or 
an  age,  or  while  a  world  lasts,  but  while  ten 


thousand  worlds  fall  away  into  nothing,  and 
then  it  is  only  in  the  dawn  of  its  being.  Who 
would  think  it  a  small  charge,  were  a  young 
sun  committed  to  her  charge,  which  wonld 
3hinp  j'B  ""»•  «""  dopfi.  ^nd  fflvp  light  and 
warmth,  acd  heat,  and  uncounted  blessings,  if 
properly  reared :  but  which,  if  not  properly 
reared,  wonld  be  a  curse  forever  to  hang  up 
in  the  heavens,  pouring  woe  and  death  upon 
the  generations  of  the  earth  I  But  know  ye, 
that  yonder  infant  in  the  cradle  is  a  spirit 
which  will  live,  when  perhaps  that  sun  has 
done  shining  ;  and  will  be  felt  iu  the  universe 
a_T;es  after  his  light  is  extinguished — will  be  a 
greater  blessing  than  the  brightest  sun  that 
ever  shone,  or  a  heavier  curse  than  the  sun 
would  be,  if  every  ray  of  his  light  were  a 
poisoned  arrow. 

This  is  the  reason  why  so  deep  a  love  is  cen- 
tred in  the  bosom  of  her  to  whom  this  immortal 
spirit. is  first  committed.  It  would  not  do  to 
trust  it  to  the  cool  calculations  of  one  who 
could  stop  to  measure  her  affections  ; — no  ! — 
such  a  spirit  must  first  be  placed  in  the  hands 
of  one  whose  love  is  too  deep  for  measure- 
ment. 

Here,  then,  I  take  my  stand ;  and  here  I  feel 
the  real  dignity  of  the  mother  to  begin — for 
God  hath  committed  to  her  hands  the  keeping 
and  the  moulding  of  a  spirit  which  may  forever 
rise  up  in  glory  and  in  light.  Never,  this  side 
of  eternity,  will  the  influence  of  the  mother  of 
moses  be  known — who  so  trained  up  a  child 
and  so  emplanted  religions  impressions  upon 
his  soul,  that  probably  the  crown  and  kingdom 
of  Egypt  could  not  tempt  him  from  the  service 
of  God — the  great  end  for  which  he  was  cre- 
ated !  You  say  that  you  cannot  expect  your 
child  to  become  a  Moses.  True — nor  did  she 
expect  this.  But  when  you  see  a  little  boy 
walking  the  street,  who  dare  say  that  he  may 
not  become  a  man,  and  become  a  blessing  in 
his  day  and  generation  ?  Recollect  that  our 
whole  existence  on  earth  is  but  a  childhood  ; 
the  manhood  of  the  soul  is  in  the  next  world, 
where  the  spirit  of  that  child,  redeemed  and 
glorified,  shall  shine  as  the  sun  in  the  firmament 
forever  and  ever,  and  shall  scatter  blessings  as 
widely.  Oh  1  if  we  were  to  do  ail  that  we  ever 
do  for  God,  iu  tiii.s  life,  my  heart  would  sink 
at  the  probability  of  our  doing  little  or  no- 
thing ;  but  when  I  recollect  that  heaven  is  to 
be  our  home,— infinite  the  space  in  which  we 
may  move,  and  everlasting  ages  the  period  in 
which  we  may  act,  with  a  nature  unwearied 
dacs'  or  night,  who  can  tell  the  greatness  of  the 
destiny  of  such  a  .spirit,  or  the  work  of  rearing 
it  up  for  God  ?  Blessed  be  his  name,  he  hath 
created  in  the  mother's  heart  a  love  that  can 
receive  such  a  charge,  and  looking  to  him  for 
assistance,  can  train  up  that  child  ;  and  through 
patience,  and  tears,  and  prayers,  will  at  last 
see  it  rise  up  and  become  "  a  star  of  day." 

"  We  cannot,"  said  a  mother  to  me  as  she 
held  her  infant  in  her  arms,  "  we  cannot  go  to 
Congress  ;  we  cannot  stand  in  the  pulpit  j  we 
cannot  be  known,  we  must  toil  at  home  ?" 

"  Cannot  go  to  Congress !"  Aye, — but  if 
God  had  planted  the  same  deep  love  of  her 
country  in  woman's  heart,  that  he  has  fo-  her 
clii  d,  he  would  have  committed  to  her  hands 
the  petty  interests  of  politics  and  of  time  ; 
but  no — he  hr.s  committed  to  her  hands  the 
future  destiny  of  nations  and  of  empires — all 
that  we  hold  dear  on  earth,  and  what  is  more, 
the  interests  of  the  soul  when  time  shall  be  no 
mijre.  Oh,  mother!  do  not  mourn  over  your 
lot — that  the  distinctions  of  earth  are  not 
yours, — that  tl.e  honors  of  men  arc  not  yours, — 
you  have  intercbts  committed  to  your  hands 
too  sacred  to  be  polluted  by  being  mingled 
with  the  honors  of  this  world.  Do  not  grieve 
in  secret,  at  times,  that  the  inscrutable  wisdom 
of  god  has  assigned  you  an  inferior  station, 
made  your  will,  in  many  respects,  subject  to\ 
tbat  of  another,  and  male  your  gl  iry  to  consist 
in  bowing  in  meekness  while  yon  drink  the  bit- 
terest cup  which  humanity  knows, — your  chil- 
dren will  b!es9  and  honor  you  more  and  more 


as  tb/y  leave  yoar  roof,  till  they  gather  roiuid 

your/grave  as  the  most  sacred  spot  on  e^rth, 
and  God  will  reward  yon  most  abundantly. 
He  will  remember  the  sorrows  which  your 
heart  could  tell  to  none  but  Him.

SACRED  TOPOGRAPHY. 

Mount  Sinai. 

(Continued  from  p.  160.) 
We  have  followed  our  travelers  to  the  top 
If  Mount  ainai  of  tradition,  and  we  hope  the 
|Bailer  will  not  find  it  amiss  if  we  allow  more 
ban  one  traveller  to  speak,  though  we,  by  so 
(o'Dg,  may  be  guilty  of  repetition.    Mr.  Stcf- 
m  says,   (after  leaving  the  chapel  of  Eliaa,) 
Still  continuing  our  ascent,  the  old  monk 
feading  the  way,  in  about  a  quarter  of  an  hour 
FC  came  to  a  table  of  rock  btanding  boldly  out, 
^nd  running  down  almost  perpendicularly,  an 
ntnense  distance,  to  the  valley.    I  was  ex- 
acting another  monkish   legend,  and  my  very 
feart  thrilled  when  the  monk  told  me  that  this

sat  during  the  battle  of  the  Israelites  und  the, 
Araalekites,  while  Aaron  and  Ilur  supported 
his  uplifted   hand.-f,  until   the  sun  went   down 
upon  the  victoriuus  arms  of  his  people. 

"Then  came  Amilek,  an  1  fought  with  Israel 
in  Rephidira. 

"  And  Moses  said  unto  Joshua,  Choose  us  out 
men,  andgoout,  fight  with  Ainaiek  .•  to  morrow 
I  will  stand  on  the  top  of  the  hill,  with  the  rod 
of  God  in  mine  hand. 

"So  Joshua  did  as  Moses  had  s^id  to  him, 
and  fought  with  Amalek  :  and  Moses,  Aron  and 
Hur  went  up  to  the  top  of  the  Hill. 

"  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Moses  held  up 
his  hand,  tbat  Israel  prevailed  :  and  when  he 
let  down  his  band,  Amalek  prevailed. 

"  But  Moses'  bands  teer«  heavy  ;  and  they 
took  a  stone,  and  put  it  under  him,  and  he  sat 
thereon  ;  an<l  Aaron  ond  lliir  stayed  up  his 
hands,  the  one  on  the  one  side,  and  the  other 
side;  and  his  hauls  were  steady  until  the  go-" 
ing  down  of  ti:e  sun. 


"  And  Jorthua  discomfited  Amalek  and  hie 
p-'ople  Willi  th;  edge  of  the  sword. — Exodus 
17:  8,  53. 

From  the  height  I  could  see,  clearly  and 
distinctly,  every  part  of  the  battle  ground,  and 
the  whole  vale  of  Rephidim  and  the  mountains 
beyond  ;  and  Moses,  while  on  this  spot,  must 
have  been  visible  to  the  contending  armies 
from  every  part  of  the  field  on  which  they  were 
engaged. 

Some  distance  farther  on  the  old  monk  stop- 
ped, and,  prostrating  himself  before  a  stone, 
kissed  it  devoutly,  and  then  told  us  its  history. 
He  said  that  the  last  time  the  monks  in  the 
convent  were  beset  by  the  Arabs,  when  their 
communication  with  Cmto  was  cut  ofif,  and 
death,  by  the  sword  or  famine,  staring  them  in

THE     ^VEEKLY     GLEANER 


THE     WE  EfcK  L  Y     G  I^  E  A  N  E  R 


Om  it  be,  or  is  it  a  mere  dream  ?  Can  this 
naked  rock  have  been  the  witneiw  of  that 
great  interview  between  man  and  his  Maker? 
where,  amid  thunder  and  lightning,  and  a  fear- 
"lor^iaakTng  of  the  mounlaTn,  The  Atnrighty 
gave  to  his  chosen  people  the  precious  tabled 
of  his  law,  those  rules  of  infinite  wisdom  and 
goodness,  which,  to  this  day,  best  teach  man 
his  duty  towards  his  God,  his  neighbor  and 
himself? 

The  scenes  uf  many  of  the  incidents  recorded 
in  the  Bible  are  extremely  uncertain.  Hibto- 
rians  and  geographers  place  the  garden  of 
Kden,  the  paradise  of  our  first  parenta,  in  dif- 
lerent  parts  of  Asia  ;  and  thiy  do  not  agree 
vipoii  the  site  of  tbe  tower  of  Babel,  tlie  moun- 
tain of  Ararat,  and  many  of  the  most  interest- 
ing places  HI  the  Holy  Land  ;  but  of  Sinai 
tliere  is  no  doubt.  This  is  tbe  holy  moun'ain  ; 
and,  among  all  the  stupendous  works  of  nature, 
not  a  place  can  be  selected  more  fitted  for  the 
exhibition  of  Almighty  power.  I  have  stood 
upon  the  summit  of  thegia-.t  Etna,  andlooke<l 
over  the  clouds  floating  beneath  it,  upon  the 
bold  scenery  of  Sicily,  and  the  distant  moun- 
tains of  Calabria  ;  upon  the  top  of  A''e3uviu*i, 
and  looked  down  upon  the  waves  of  lava,  and 
the  ruined  and  half-recovered  cities  at  its  foot ; 
but  they  are  nothing  compared  with  the  terrific 
eolitodes  uiul  bU-uk  majesty  of  Sinai.  An 
observing  traveler  has  well  called  it  "a  perfect 
sea  of  desolation."  Not  a  tree,  or  shrub,  or 
blade  of  grass  is  to  be  seen  upon  the  bare  and 
rngtred  sides  of  innumerable  mountains,  heav.ng 
their  naked  summits  to  the  skies,  while  the 
crumbling  masses  of  granite  around,  and  the 
distant  view  of  the  Syrian  desert,  with  its 
boundless  waste  of  sands,  form  the  wildest  and 
most  dreary,  the  most  terrific  and  desolate  pic- 
ture that  imagination  can  conceive. 

The  level  surface  of  the  very  top,  or  pinnacle, 
is  about  sixty  feet  square.  At  one  end  is  a 
single  rock  about  twenty  feet  high,  on  which 
(as  said  the  mook)  the  spirit  of  Uod  descended, 
while  in  the  crevice  beneath  his  favored  servant 
received  the  tables  of  the  law.  There,  on  the 
same  spot  where  they  were  given,  1  opened  the 
Bacret]  book  in  which  those  laws  are  recorded, 
and  read  them  with  a  deeper  feeling  of  devo- 
tion, as  if  I  were  standing  nearer  and  rccciv 
ing  them  more  directly  from  the  Deity  himself. 

The  ruins  of  a  church  and  convent  are  still 
to  be  seen  upon  the  mountain,  to  which,  before 
fie  convent  below  was  built,  monks  and  her- 
mits used  to  retire,  and,  secluded  from  the 
world,  sing  the  praises  of  God  upou  his  chosen 
hill.  Near  this,  also  in  ruins,  stands  a  Mo- 
hammedan mosque ;  for  on  this  sacred  spot  the 
followers  of  Christ  and  Mohammed*  have 
united  in  worshipping  the  true  and  living  God. 
Under  the  chapel  is  a  hermit's  cell,  where,  in 
the  iron  age  of  fanaticism,  the  anchorite  lin- 
gered out  his  days  in  fasting,  meditation,  and 
prayer. 

In  former  days  more  than  seventy  thousand 
anchorites  wore  wasting  their  lives  in  the 
gloomy  wilds  of  Sinai,  startling  the  solitude 
with  the  cries  of  their  selfinflictetl  torture. 
The  ruins  are  still  to  be  sc«n  upon  the  rudest 
mountain  side,  in  the  most  savage  chasm,  or 
upon  the  craggiest  top  ;  and,  etraogo  as  the 
feelings  may  seem,  my  very  soul  cleaved  to  the 
scene  around  mc.  I,  too,  felt  myself  lifted 
abive  the  world,  and  its  petty  cares  and  trou- 
bles, and  almost  hurried  into  the  wild  enthusi- 
asm which  had  sent  the  tenants  of  these  ruined 
convents  to  live  and  die  among  the  mountains. 
Bo  far  StefTens.  The  description  of  Olin  is  no 
less  interesting  ;  he  says  :  "  The  region  through 
which  our  route  had  Iain  for  several  days  was 
spread  out  like  a  map  before  the  eye,  and  tbe 
long  ranges  of  limestone  mountains,  and  the 
sandy  valleys  between  them,  were  seen  with 
great  distinctness.  The  view  towards  the  west 
and  northwest  is  less  extensive.    The  higher 


summits  of  St.  Catherine,*  conceal  the  Red 
Sea  and  Suez,  which  are  vi-iible  from  its  top. 
These  remote  objects,  "however,  are  not  those 
in  which  I  was  most  deeply  interested.  My 
irnTj  rrnst.  fiTcd  nPOB  ft  fic'd  of  r^rh^p*  thirty  Or  . 
forty  miles  in  diameter,  filled  with  mountains 
very  similar,  in  their  structure  and  appearance, 
to  Sinai,  and  embraced  under  the  general  name. 
I  have  seen  nothing  like  them  elsewhere,  and  I 
quite  despair  of  conveying  an  adequate  idea  of 
them  by  description.  The  pencil  in  a  skilful 
hand  might  bj  more  successful,  'i'cere  is  no- 
thing deserving  the  name  of  a  chain  or  range 
of  mountains.  No  one  appears  to  be  more 
than  from  five  to  «ght  miles  in  length,  and 
nearly  all  of  them  arc  much  shorter.  With  a 
general  and  remarkable  similarity  in  form  and 
aspect,  they  are  independent  and  distinct  mas- 
ses, separated  by  deep,  narrow  valleys,  which 
are  sometimes  visible,  but  generally  concealed 
from  tbe  eye  ef  the  spectator  on  the  top  of 
Sinai,  the  highest  point,  I  believe,  with  two 
exceptions,  in  the  entire  group.  This  circum- 
stance often  gives  a  cluster  of  separate  moun- 
tains the  appearance  of  being  one  vust  pile, 
surmounted  by  a  number  of  lofty  pinnacles. 
These  summits,  observed  more  carefully,  or 
from  other  positions,  are  discovered  to  be  the 
combs  of  short,  but  distinct  ridges,  divided  into 
a  number  of  tall,  slender  peaks  liy  deep  ravines, 
which  are  f  rraed  by  the  dissolution  of  perpen 
dicular  strata  of  porphyry  interposed  between 
the  more  solid  masses  of  granite.  They  remind 
one  of  the  slender,  lofty  towers  that  rise  at 
regular  intervals  upon  the  walls  of  a  Saracenic 
fortress. 

The  color  of  these  mountuins,  though  very 
various,  is  uniformly  dark  and  sombre.  In 
some  of  the  less  elevated  masses  the  greenstone 
formation  prevails,  which  being  easily  discom- 
posed and  diffused  by  the  rains,  tinges  the 
whole  region  below  with  a  dull,  yellowish 
green.  Where  porphyry  predominates,  it  im- 
parts its  own  hue  to  the  higher  portions  of  the 
moutain,  and  a  number  of  considerable  tracts 
have  their  surface  of  a  brick  red  color ;  but 
by  far  the  largest  part  of  this  singular  collection 
of  mountains  is  composed  of  red  granite,  whose 
bright  and  beautiful  hoes,  time  and  the  elft- 
ments  have  converted  into  a  dull,  reddish 
brown.  Other  shades  appear  in  various  local- 
ities, but  I  hare  enumerated  those  which  pre- 
dominate and  control  the  aspect  of  the 
whole.  All  is  dark  and  gloomy  in  hue, 
and  sublimely    magnificent    in    altitude  and 

form.

Fi'om  the  East. 

The  following  item  from  the  Monthly  Debo- 
rah of  April  the  15tb,  may  not  be  out  of  place 
in  our  columns  : 

San  Francisco. — There  arises  in  the  far 
west,  in  the  utmost  border  of  the  civitized 
world  for  Judaism  a  young  and  pithy  stem, 
which  will  bear  and  spread  the  golden  fruit  of 
the  tree  of  true  knowledge.  Two  Jewish  pe- 
riodicals in  a  country  which  ten  years  ago  was 
but  a  wilderacss  and  totally  cut  ofl^  from  tbe 
civilized  world,  is  more  than  the  history  of 
Judaism  can  thow  anywhere.  Both  publicar 
tioos  are  favorable  to  progress  and  reform  ; 
each  in  its  own  way  :  Tne  GUancr  stands  on 
historic  ground,  and  advocates  a  progress  in 
the  spirit  of  the  times,  (zeitgemass  :)  whik;  lU 
Voue  of  hrael  seems  to  assume  a  radical 
ground,  which  however  cannot  be  assumed 
with  certainty.  The  former  is  specifically 
Jewish ;  the  latter  admits  aUo  other  material 
into  its  columns.  It  is  then  apparent  that  at 
all  events  the  reform  element  ia  preponderating 
in  California,  though  there  exists  also  a  sort 
of  a  Bethhammidrash  in  San  Francisco,  which 
is  supported  by  none  but  the  "  Elect,"  and  ren- 
ders tlie  human  race  and  Judaism  about  the 
same  services  as  does  the  New  York  Betli 
Hamvitdrash, 


The  Advantages  of  Bathing. 

[Continued  frono  p.  168.] 
When  infirm  or  aged  persons,  or  even  the 
youhg.  Take  the  Cold  bnth,  tirey  ought  tetake 
mo<lerate  exercise  before  using  it,  so  as  to  in- 
crease or  produce  the  action  of  the  vascular 
system,  for  by  this  moderate  heat  you  produce 
reaction  under  the.  shock,  which  might  not 
otherwise  take  place.  Understand  me,  I  mean 
gentle  exercise,  not  such  as  to  produce  perspi- 
ration, although  it  is  perfectly  safe  to  enter  the 
cold  bath  after  a  moderate  walk  or  ride.  It 
would  be  highly  dangerous  to  go  into  the  wa- 
ter when  sweating,  or  laboring  under  fatigue  ; 
because  your  body,  from  fatigue,  is  losing  heat 
rapidly  by  sweat ;  bnt^t  would,  by  this,  loss 
suddenly  what  remains  of  heat ;  and,  therefore, 
yon  counteract  the  benefits  which  would  other- 
wise result  from  a  judicious  use  of  this  inval- 
uable remedy  if  properly  applied  ;  therefore, 
neither  previous  entire  rest,  nor  exercise  to 
overheat  can  possibly  be  proper.  But  go  be- 
tween these  points  moderately,  and  you  will 
receive  all  the  advantages  the  cold  bath  of  this 
description  is  capable  of  bestowing  on  the 
human  species. 

The  cold  bath  is  sometimes  used  as  a  shower 
bath  with  great  success  ;  it  means  the  falling 
of  the  water  from  a  height  of  seven  or  eight 
Icf  t,  in  a  shower  similar  to  rain.     The  con- 
struction of  this   bath  is    very  simple  :  fix  a 
box  that  will  hold  water,  or   a  large  tub  will 
answer  ;  bore  the  bottom  fall  of  holes  with  a 
large  gimblet,   let  the  box  or  tub  be  placed 
above  your  head,  tbe  distance  above-mentioned, 
and  let  the  water  be   thrown   in,  you  being 
stripped  of  your  clothing,  or  from  delicacy  to 
exposure  of  your  person,   have  a  box  made 
with  atrapdoor  underneath, so  that  by  pulling 
a  string  the  trap  door  will  fall  by  a  hinge,  and 
permit  the  water  to  fall  on   your  body.     The 
shower   bath  produces  the  best  effects  when 
used  early  in  the  morning,  after  which  yoo 
should  take  a  moderate  walk,  or  exercise  on 
horseback.     By  making  the  water  salt  (ihat  is 
with  common  salt,  well  mixed)  it  will  be  doubly 
beneficial,  answering  tbe  fine  effects  produced 
by  sea  bathing.    In  such  a  case  the  salt  should 
be  boiled  the  night  before  with  wator,  to  give 
it  the  strength   and  qualities  of  sea  water. 
After  leaving  the  bath,  rub  well  with  a  coarse 
towel.    The  advantages  of  this  method    are 
greatly  superior  to  the  other  methods  of  bath- 
ing, where  the  effects  required  to  be  produced 
are  powerful ;  for  although  the  bathing  in  a 
river  covers  the  surface  of  the  body  more  uni- 
formly, yet  this  circumstance  by  no  means  de- 
tracts from  the  excellence  of  the  former,  because 
those  intermediate  parts  which  the  water  has 
not  touched,  receive  an  electric  and  sympathetic 
impression,  in  a  degree  similar  to  those  brought 
into  actual  contact,  and  as  every  drop  of  water 
from  the  shower  bath  operates  as  a  partial  coW 
bath,  its  vivifying  shock  to  robust  individuals 
is  more  extensive,  and  better  adapted  than  any 
other  method  of  bathing.     I  will  now  describe 
why  this  bath  is  better  than  the  common  method 
of  bathing,  together  with   its  safety  and  ad- 
vantages.    In  the  first  place,  the  sudden  falling 
of  the  water  may  be  used  as  often  as  yon  like ; 
proloDgetl  or  shortened  at  pleasure,  according 
to  your  feeliDgs,  your  constitution,  yonr  disease 
or  your  gratiCcatioc.     Second  :  your  head  and 
breast  arc  much  secured,  and  as  it  deccnds  to 
your  hands  and  feet,  the  circulation  is  not  im- 
peded, brcatiiiug  is  less  difficult,  and  a  deter- 
mination of  blood  to  the  head  and  breast  is 
prcvenUd.     Third  :  when  the   water  falls  in 
this  way  by  single  drop?,  gliding  in  succession 
over  the  body,  it  produces  the  most  thrilling 
and  delightful  Ecnsations,  stimulating  the  whole 
system.     It  being  always  easily  obtained  and 
near  at  hand,  gives  it  additional  advantages. 
Lastly  :  the  degree  of  pressure  from  tbe  weight 
of  water  i?  prevented,  nor  is  the  bath  danger- 
ous ;  the  fluids  and  circulation  never  being 
interrupted  by  it.     Btsidcs,  it  is  free   from 
injurits  to  which  bathing  in  rivers  and  creeks 


exposee  as.    In  closing  my  directions  aojl 
vantages  from  the  shower  bath,  I  reconn 
the  salt  bath  particularly,  as  one  of  the  j 
remedies  in  fits,  in  deafness,  and  for  rit^ 
children,  or  those  afflicted  with  a  disease  ( 
St.  Vitus's  dance,  a  nervous  aBection  J 
great  benefits  resulting  from  the  judicioul 
of  the  shower  bath  have  been  fully  felt  agjl 
knowledged,  by  the  first  physicians  o([ 
age.     Never  enter  a  bath  earlier  than 
three  hours  after  a  meal. 

The  morning  is  the  proper  time  for  i 
the  cold  bath,  unless  it  be  in  a  river  ;  ini 
case  the  afternoon,  or  from  one  to  two  I 
before  sunset,  will  be  more  eligible.    Oil 
whole,  one  hour  after  a  light  breakfast,  ctl 
hours   before,  or   four  after  dinner,  an| 
best  periods  of  the  day  for  this  purpose. 

While  the  bather  is  in  the  water,  he  i 
not  remain  inactive,  but  apply  brisk  anjj 
eral  friction,  and   move  his  arcs   and 
promote  the  circulation  of  the  fluids  froJ 
heart  to  the  extremities.    It  is  extreiiil;| 
prudent  to  continue  in  the  water   till  a  i 
chilliness  attacks  the  body. 

Immediatly  after  leaving  the  bath,  J 
necessary  that  the  bather  should  qnickljf 
his  body  dry  with  a  course  dry  cloth. 
should  not  afterwards  sit  inactive,  buti 
season  permit,  he  ought  to  take  gentle  eia 
till  the  aeual  circalation,  and  the  costs 
action  of  the  muscles,  be  restored.

Our  Collecton. 

Wc  have  •ppointed  Mr.  Joseph  Labatt  our 
Collector    for    this    city. 


Influences  of  Religion. 

Who  is  that  old  man  whose  silver  hair  baa 
b<ou  bleached  by  many  a  wint<'r  that  has  pass- 
ctl  olvir  his  head ;  wbode  terder  frame  is  re- 
duL-eU  to  almost  a  bkeieton  by  a  sodeotary  life 
of  seventy  summi  rs,  spent  in  the  study  of  holy 
booksV  whose  pious  soul  is  trained  into  obe- 
dience ;to  the  dictates  of  conscience  and  the 
I^aw  orUJod,  by  a  course  of  religious  disci- 
jiliiic  of\more  than  half  a  century  ?  Who  if 
that  man\whoni  you  behold  retired  in  a  sniajl 
churnber,  \in  which  you  behold  no  e.tpcn.-ive 
paintings  ^r  mirrors  against  the  wall,  no  rit/h 
carpets  on  the  floor,  no  1  jungea  nor  elegaiit 
chairs,  no  articles  of  finery  or  luxury  ?  B«t, 
instead  of  these  modern  articles  of  fashion,  t'he 
walls  are  wainscuted  all  round  with  boqks, 
from  the  Iarg4  folio  to  the  duodecimo  size;  ,^he 
books  arc  all  wore  jr  less  worn  ;  for  thcjyare 
n  it  placed  there  for  show,  but  for  uec.    A  prge 


I,  Ziml^c 


bazzin,  ZifftHnolih  rac/iuA 'of  blessed  memory;' 
he  is  a  Russian  Rabbi  of  great  moral  worth 
a  singular  man  ;  he  has  devoted  all  his  days 
and  uighta  to  the  study  of  the  Law.  I  cannot 
leTT  you  wBat  TiTrCuTsncss  ts ;  tits  enty  Dccnrn- 
tion  is  study  and  doing  good.  He  ostensibly 
has  no  office  ;  he  is  good  and  learned  en "Ugh 
to  be  engaged  Rabbi  of  the  city,  but  pf-rhaps 
the  latter  is  a  more  eminent  man  still ;  for  in 


Remarkable  Case  of  CJlalrvoyance. 

We  give  the  following  from  the  pen  of  Pro- 
frBso?-^regory,  of  EJinburg,  a  gentleman 
whose  hi^  standing  and  reputation,  claim  for 
Wm  mo -e  ilia!!  orcTmaryTPgard:    He  states  t 

I  have  been  informed,  on  what  I  consider 
perfectly  good  authority,  of  the  following  case, 
which  is  not  generally  known.  A  lady  was 
subject,  occasionally,  not  to  illness,  but  to  a 
certain  state  of  mind,  possibly  connected  with 


deal  table  surrounded  by  plain  deal  beuchea^-H ' "ft' ^')  '»  '"^^^"^^  "^°"'  ^'''^^' 


occttpira  the  centre  of  the  roonr ;  a  yeliow 
WU.X  taper  fi-YtdVi  sand  in  a  round  ^arthcn 
vessci,  burns  dimly  on  tha  tabic,  and  seems, 
from  its  symbolic  nature,  to  add  solcttinityjto 
the  scene.  The  venerable  man  is  dressed  in 
white  linen  robes,  Jiis  head  is  covcrtjd  with  a 
s<juare  white  woolen  covering,  with  blue  stripes 
on  the  right  and  leftside,  an  J  a  fringe  on  each 
corner.  This  extends  from  over  his  l^ead  down 
b.  low  bis  knees  ;  his  thoughts  seem  absorbed 
in  the  study  of  a  large  folio ;  silence  reigns 
all  round  ;  this  at  last  is  broken  by  tho  en- 
trance of  a  rather  strangely  clad  youth,  whose 
pale  face,  arched  forehead  and  brilliant  eye, 
bespeak  mentr.l  exertion  and  a  superior  intel- 
lectual development,  ilc,  with  a  humble  bear- 
ing, and  in  a  subdued  tone  brings  some  brief 
communication  to  the  aged  man,  and  immedi- 
ately retires  respectfully.  The  old  man  closes 
his  folio,  rises,  and,  wLth_humble  look  and  gen- 
tle step,  retires  toward  the  eastern  wall  of  bis 
chamber,  and  there,  in  a  nook,  in  a  curbed 
posture,  you  see  him  pay  his  devotions  to  his 
Maker  ;  you  scarce  hear  his  voice,  but  from 
his  bearing,  you  perceive  that  his  mind  is  deep- 
ly absorbed  in  heartfelt  prayer  ;  his  intense 
feelings  vent  themselves  in  torrents  of  tears, 
which  richly  bedew  the  floor  round  him  ;  you 
actually  see  before  him  a  semi-circle  formed  by 
bis  tears.  At  last  you  see  him  step  three  paces 
backward,  bow  in  deep  reverence,  and  again 
approach  the  tabic,  take  off  his  square  woolen 
covering,  and  leave  the  room  for  the  street. 
Solemn  silence  reigus  there ;  no  rattling  car- 
riage grates  upon  your  ear,  no  busy  crowd 
crosses  in  bustling  activity  the  deserted  street; 
here  and  there  some  woman  in  white  festive 
robc:^,  modestly  covering  her  wholo  form,  hast- 
ens to  or  from  her  house  ;  here  and  there  some 
graceful  child  or  children,  in  humble  attire, 
amu!<e  themselves  in  their  child-like  chat. — 
But  again  direct  your  eye  upon  the  aged  man; 
he  walks  rather  hastily,  looks  now  to  the  right, 
now  to  the  left,  now  be  steps  aside,  listens  at  a 
window,  and  passes  on  ;  now  he  enters  a  bouse, 
and  soon  comes  out  again,  and  continues  his 
walk.  At  last,  a  cry  reaches  his  car,  he  steps 
aside  to  listen,  the  voice  of  "  the  boy  crying  " 
wings  the  agile  foot  of  the  aged  saint,  he  hast- 
ens through  the  street,  stops  before  a  large 
Btructnre.  At  his  summon8,a  woman  appears  at 
the  door,  who,  after  a  few  words  from  her  aged 
friend,  basteos  in  the  direction  whence  the 
latter  came  ;  upon  which  he  again  rtsomes  his 
ambulation. 

Now,  dear  reader,  who  is  that  strange  man, 
and  vltat  mean  his  singular  ways?  Listen 
tt^entively,  and  I  will  tell  you,  and  you  may 
perhaps  learn  a  useful  lesson. 

The  ttrange  man  is  Rabbi  Sh*Iomah  of  »ha- 


tbem  "  shells  are  not  taken  up  and  kernels 
rejected  ;"  no  Riibbi  is  removed  from  o9Bce 
because  he  dared  to  act  as  a  true  prophet, 
and  "  raise  his  voice  without  sparing,  to  tell 
my  people  their  transgressions,  and  to  the 
house  of  Israel  their  errors  ;"*  nor  will  loose 
unprincipled  men  dare  to  support  their  "  simi- 
lars "  in  spite  of  all  decency  and  rcpardless  of 
the  wants  of  the  congregation  ;  nor  would 
moral  worth  there  be  made  a  victim  to  national 
hatred  and  prejudice  ;  nor  are  spiteful  and  un- 
godly rulers  allowed  "  to  lay  the  rod  of  wick- 
edness upon  the  inheritance  of  the  righteou?."t 
Nor  can  I  tell  you  bow  much  the  man  was 
worth  ;  it  remains  for  the  Cananites,  fjr  mer- 
cantile countries,  (fltt  th»  Ilibiiw  HUiH  C"')la-

Ly  tJic  quantity  of  gold  and  silver  niptal  he 
may  chance  to  possess,  regardless  of  his  worth 
or  wortblessness.  The  place  where  you  saw 
him  first,  was  his  Beth  Haminidrah,  "  study." 
He  lived  in  an  age  and  country,  (in  the  begin- 
ning of  this  century  in  Russia,)  when  and 
where  modern  vanities  and  luxuries  were  un- 
known in  Israel ;  hence  the  simplicity  of  the 
furniture.  You  see  nothing  but  books  and 
plain  pieces  of  furniture  ;  which  are  not  even 
painted.  But  what  means  his  square  covering, 
his  white  robes,  and  the  light  on  the  table  ?  I 
gladly  will  tell  you  :  The  square  woolen  cov- 
ering is  the  Tabilh,  (the  vail  used  among  us 
during  prayer  ;)  the  blue  stripes  and  fringes 
have  their  foundation  in  Numbers  15  :  38,  39  ; 
and  as  to  his  white  robes  and  the  light,  you 
will  easily  account  for  them,  if  I  tell  you  that 
the  scene  which  I  am  describing,  is  one  of  Yom 
Kippur  of  the  Day  of  Atonement,  (see  Levit. 
23  :  30,)  when  it  is  the  custom  in  Israel  to  put 
on  white  robes  as  a  symbol  of  purity  ;  they 
are  to  teach  us  that  on  that  holy  and  solemn 
day,  we  ought  to  present  ourselves  before  our 
God  and  Judge  to  be  cleansed  from  our 
sins,  by  true  repentance.  Besides,  you  per- 
haps know,  that  these  white  robes  are  those 
which,  one  day,  will  be  used  as  the  shroud  for 
the  wearer.  Custom  has  introduced  among 
the  German  and  Polish  Jews  the  usage  of 
wearing  shreuds  on  the  i^  of  Atonement,  to 
remind  us  of  our  last  da^The  wax  taper  on 
the  table  is  in  accordaocfwith  a  custom  among 
us,  to  burn  a  light  on  th*.«iiniversary  ^o{  the 
death  of  our  departed  frieUds^T*^  also  An  the 
Day  of  Atonement. 

Yaa  see  him  sit  over  a  volume  deeply  en- 
grossed in  his  studies,  till  the  young  man  en- 
ters and  brings  him  a  communication. 

This  young  man  is  one  of  his  favorite  Ba- 
chonrim,  "students."      The   Rabbi  had   sent 


the  country  where  he  lived,  the  Jewish  congre 

gations  are  still  guided   by   priocip!e,»umong  j  ^  tendency  to  reverie  or  abstraction,  in  which 

.he  became  aware  of  what  the  persons  she 
thought  of  were  doing  at  the  moment,  even  at 
cousiderable  distances.  She  did  not  know,  at 
least  so  far  us  I  am  informed,  any  cause  which 
produced  this  state.  On  one  occasion,  residing 
at  some  distance  from  town,  she  had  in  this 
way,  while  fully  awake,  but  late  in  the  evening, 
a  vision  of  her  son's  chambers  in  town,  such 
as  I  believe  she  had  often  had  before.  She  saw 
the  porter  of  the  chambers  leave  his  own  room, 
with  a  candle  in  one  hand  and  a  knife  in 
the  other,  and  proceed  to  her  son's  bed-room, 
which  he  entered  softly,  and,  going  to  the  bed- 
side, asc-rtained  that  his  master  was  asleep. 
He  then  took  from  the  clothes  of  that  gentle- 
man a  key  or  set  of  keys,  went  to  the  other 
end  of  the  room,  opened  a  trunk  or  box,  took 
out  a  pocket-book,  and  from  it  a  £50  Bank  of 
England  note  The  thief  then  returned  to  the 
bed,  replnced  the  key.  and  once  more  looking, 
to  ascrtuin  if  the  sleeper  still  slept,  retired  to 
his  own  room.  The  lady  was  na'urally  much 
alarmed,  and  next  day  drove  to  town,  and  saw 
her  son.  Without  letting  him  know  her  vision, 
she  contrived  to  ascertain  that  he  had  placed 
in  his  box  a  banknote  for  .ifiO,  and  begged 
him  to  look  whether  it  was  still  there.  The 
note  was  gone ;  the  lock  uninjured.  She  now 
told  her  story,  and  after  consultation  with  her 
son,  who  agreed  with  her  that  he  could  not,  on 
this  evidence,  accuse  any  one  of  theft,  the  note 
the  number  of  which  was  known,  was  stopped 
at  the  bank,  and  the  fact  advertised.  It  was 
never  presented  for  payment.  The  porter  soon 
left  the  chambers,  and  there  the  matter  would 
have  ended  ;  but  some  time  afterwards  he  was 
taken  up  for  some  other  robbery,  ^d  when 
his  lodgings  were  searched,  there|j^as  found 
the  very  identical  note,  rolled  up  hard  into  a 
small  bulk,  at  the  bottom  of  the  criminal's 
purse 

This  remarkable  vision  was  told  mc  by  a 
gentleman  of  great  acquirements  and  of  the 
highest  character,  who  himself  had  it  from  the 
lady,  and  told  me  that  I  might  entierly  rely 
on  its  authenticity.  It  was  no  dream,  but  a 
waking  vision.  And  bad  it  been  a  dream,  this 
would  only  prove  that  the  clairvoyant  state 
had  this  time  occurred  during  sleep,  which  had 
often  occurred  in  the  waking  .state  to  the  same 
lady.  The  fact  would  not  be  less  sreiking  nor 
less  valuable. 


ConBecration  of  the  Monument  to  the 
Late  Rev.  Dr.  L.  Merzbacher. 

A  monument  was  erected  by  the  congre- 
gation Kraanu-El  at  Salem  Fields  to  the  mem- 
ory of  their  late  minister,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Leon 
Merzbacher,  an<l  consecrated  with  more  than 


him  to  the  Synagogue  to  bring  him  notice  I  ordinary  solemnity  on  Wednesday,  April  29th, 
when  the  congregation  read  the  ^nn-(<(i/i  |  by  Uev.  Dr.  Adler  in  presence  of  the  officers  of 
{Sliamonah  csserah);  so  that  he  might  join  with 


them  iu  that  prayer. 

But  does  not  the  Rabbi  go  to  the  Synagogue 
on  the  holy  Day  of  Atonement  ?  Does  the 
pious  man  pray  without  the  synagogue  7  Does 
he  pray  without  [Min-yan  (the  number  of  at 
least  ten  males  beyond  the  age  of  thirteen,  ac- 
cording to  the  regulations  of  the  Rabbles)? 
on    Yom  Kippur— does  he  not  even  go  to  the 

synagogue  on  that  day  ?

genommen  werden.  Die  Wichtigkeit  dicser

schon  oft  croertert  und  von  vielen  Aerzten  er- 
lantert  worden.  Nicht  bios  die  Juden,  son- 
dern  ach  andere  Voelker  des  Orients  habendie 
Nuetzlichkeit  dieser  Sanitaetsmasregel  ancr- 
kannt  und  neben  sie  noch  heute.  Die  Opera- 
tion, welche  keine  schwierige  ist  wird  oft  von 
geuebten  Haenden  geschickt  und  schnell  ans- 
gefuehrt ;  allein  das  erste  Reinigen  der  Wunde 
und  die  dabei  stattfindende  Nachbehandlung 
erfardert  eine  ganz  besondere  Beruecksichti- 
gung.  Die  Mez^zah  ist  under  unter  gewisscn 
urastaenden  eine  gefaedrlichc  Verfahrung! 
weise.  Der  Speichel  ist  oft  der  Traeger  krauk- 
hafter  Stoffe  und  uebt  so  einen  schaedlichen 
Reiz  auf  die  Wuodflaeche  aus.  Ausserdcm 
ist  manchmal  der  Operaleur  selbst  von  Krank- 
heiten  befallen,  die  in  ihrem  Verlaufe  ihren 
Sitz  auf  die  Speichelhaut  dea  Mundes  aufgc- 
schlaeren  haben  und  so  dazu  dienen  das  gerade 
operirte  Kind  mit  laestigen  jeschwueren  zu

man  in  Paris  mebrere  Kinder  nach  der  Opera- 
tion mit  syphilitischen  jeschwueren  erkrankt, 
Die  Aerzt  daraus  aufmerksara  gemacht,  spuer-

Mohel  an  Syphilis  litt,  und  die  Krankheitdarcli 
die  Mezizah  auf  die  Kinder  uebertragen  hatte. 
Die  Regierung  trat  nun  dem  Unfuge  entgcgen 
und  ordnete  an,  dass  der  Act  nur  in  gegenwart 
eines  Arztes  oder  von  einem  solchen  selbst 
vorgenommen  werden  salle. 

Die  Nachbehandlung  selbst  ist  oft  eine  nn 
zweckmaessige  und  nicht  nach  chirnrgischen 
jrundsaetzcn  geleitete.  Eine  einfache  reine 
Wunde  heilt  ohne  weiteres  Zuthun  durch  blose 
Reinlichkeit  von  selbst.  Anstatt  dessen  wer-

wo  durch  schlechtc  Nachbehandlung  aerztlicbe

On  Ck>mets. 

As  the  subject  of  comets  is  now  attracting 
considerable  attention,  in  consequence  of  the 
prediction  of  the  collision  of  one  with  our  earth, 
ibt  I3tb  of  this  montht  we  publish  thejbj- 
lowing  article  from  "  Le  Courier  des  Etat  Vnis" 
traslated  for  the  Humboldt  Times: 

The  comet  of  1556,  of  which  an  astronomer 
has  boldly  predicted  the  return,  on  the  13th  of 
June  next,  has  given  rise  to  research  for  any 
document  which  may  throw  light  upon  the 
subject,  or  interest  the  public.  We  present 
the  following  ideas  upon  this  subject  from  the 
•'  Diclionaire  d'Astronomie,  "  published  by  M. 
A.  de  Guynemer. 

"  The  comets,  since  they  have  been  better 
observed,  present  no  longer  the  portentous  as- 
pect of  signs  of  Celestial  anger,  clothed  with 
such  terror  to  the  imagination. 

'•  These  vaporous  and  diaphonous  bodies, 
which  are  luminous  only  from  the  reflection  of 
the  sun's  rays,  are  generally  extremely  feeble, 
and  incapable  of  producing  the  slightest  pertur- 
bation in  the  atmosphere,  much  less  upon  the 
surface  of  our  planet.  Besides  the  resistance 
of  the  ether  which  fills  space,  and  the  planetary 
attractions  producing  still  greater  deviations, 
and  impeding  their  courie  in  their  orbits,  the 
variations  in  the  periodical  return  of  comets 
is  increased  by  the  fact  that  the  action  of  the 
— central  sun  is  less  feH  in  tiiose  imiiieb«>ly  di* 


the  possibilities  of  such  a  collision,  to  the 
chances  of  drawing  a  single  black  ball  from 
among  three  hundred  million  white  ones." 

In  addition  to  the  above,  we  give  the  follow- 
ing opinion  of  K.  von  Lettrow,  Director  of  the 
^Tenna  TjoiervBtory, trom  *««  "  '•"■'

tant  regions,  where  these  singular  bodieg  repair 
to  continue  slowly  their  revolutions,  after  being 
impelled  with  such  prodigious  velocity,  when 
at  their  proximate  distance  to  the  sun.  For 
these  reasons  we  cannot  predict  their  return  j 
upon  a  fixed  nay,  or  even  within  a  year  or 
years.  ' 

"  The  comet  of  1811   had,  on  the  15lh  of  | 
October,  a  tail  of  40  millions '  de  hens,'  (about 
120  millions  of  miles  in  length,)  the  extremity  I 
of  which  was  about  6  millions  '  de  liens'  from  j 
the  earth,  (about  18  millions  of  miles.)     That  i 
of  1770  approached  within  about  1,400,000 
miles  ;  Halley's  in  1680,  was  one-third  of  that 
distance,  and   finally  the  comet  of  Biela  or 
Gambert,  was  supposed,  at  its  nearest  point, 
about  15,000  miles  off.    Yet,  notwithstanding 
these  approaches,  these    bodies  have  never, 
within  the  history  of  man,  had  the  slightest 
influence  upon  the  motions  or  upon  the  waters 
of  our  globe.    The  comet  of  1770,  which  pas- 
sed  and   repassed   between  the  satellites   of 
Jupiter,  produced  no  derangement  in  the  mo- 
tion of  these  small  bodies. 

"Must  we  conclude  then,  with  Babinet,  one 
of  our  most  learned  professors,  that  an  encoun- 
ter with  one  of  these  masses  of  vapor  would 
have  no  more  effect  upon  our  planet  in  its 
movements,  than  the  shock  of  a  swallow 
striking  against  a  train  propelled  by  ten  loco- 
motives under  full  steam  ? 

"  Whatever  may  be  the  rarity  of  the  sub- 
stance which  forms  the  tail,  as  well  as  the  nu 
cleus  of  these  bodies,  it  is  known  that  some 
have  traveled   with  a  velocity  ten   thousand 
times  greater  than  the  most  violent  hurricane. 
By  the  sound  laws  of  physics,  the  actual  force 
of  a  body  depends  upon  its  mass  combined  with 
its  velocity  ;  if  the  latter  be  prodigious,  while 
at  the  same  time  the  first  is  almost  wanting, 
the  effect  may  still  be  considerable.     "I'bis 
would  apparently  be  true  with  respect  to  Com- 
eths,  which  our  profound   astronomer    above 
cited,  denominates  'visible  nothings.'    Do  we 
not  know,  in  fact,  that  winds,  tempests  and 
harricanes,  those  invisible  yet  irresistible  '  no- 
things,' are  but    air  displaced  ?     Volcanic 
eruptions,  earthquakes,  gaseous  explosions,  and 
thunder,  are  they  not  all  produced  by  the  com- 
bined action  of  imperceptible  molecules,  which 
singly  are  devoid  of  power  ? 

"  We  may  reasonably    suppose    that    the 

shock  of  enormous  masses  of  vapor,  propelled 

I      at  an  inconceivable  velocity,  and  consequently 

with  a  certain  force,  might  disturb  at  least  the 

atmosphere  of  onr  planet. 

"  To  assure  us  more  completely  against  any 
danger  from  this  source,  Arago  has  compared 


Of  late,  the  enquiries  about  the  expected 
large  comet  grew  so  considerably,  that  we  think 
it  expedient  to  give  a  summary  of  the  true 
state  of  the  question. 

About  the  middle  of  the  last  century,  the 
similari.y  of  the  orbs  of  the  comets   of  1264 
and  1556,  attracted  the  attention   for  the  first 
time ;  and  they  began   to  suppose  that  both 
were  but  the  appearance  of  one  and  the  same 
body,  and  that  consequently,  it  has  to  be  ex- 
pected every  300  years.    This  view  was  con- 
firmed by   calculations  made  afterwards  ;  but 
they  could  no  more  than  suppose  so,  on  account 
of  the  too  scanty  observation  that  reached  us 
of  those  comets.    The  whole  affair  was  near 
sinking  to  oblivion,  when  last  year,  the  under- 
signed succeeded  in  finding  three  new  sources 
in  relation  to  the  cojict  of  1556,  which  con- 
tained uncommon  accurate  and  complete  data 
for  those  times.     I   believed  myself  from  the 
beginning  justified  to  pronounce  the  opinion, 
that  however  valuable  these  documents  may  be 
in  themselves,  and  however  great  their  use  may 
he  for  the  advancement  of  the  knowledge  of 
this  heavenly  body,  if  the  comet  indeed  should 
re-appear,  nothing  was  gained  for  the  predeter- 
mination of  such  an  event.    However,  several 
astronomers  found  themselves  stimulated  by 
these  sources  to  new  investigations  of  the 
subject. 

"  Those  of  Hoek,  of  London,  resulted  in  the 
supposition  of  the  identity  of  these  with  the 
comets  of  1264  and  1550  ;  so  did   Carlini,  of 
Milan,  raise  many  doubts  which  were  hard  to 
be  solved.    Balz,  of  Marseilles,  on  the  contra- 
ry impugned  Hoek's  views,  and   finds  the  re- 
turn of  the  comet  probable.     So  does  Hind,  of 
London,  led  by  the  new  data,  consider  the  pre- 
ceding  suppositions  corroborated ;    and   it  is 
hard  to  say  which  of  these  colliding  opinions 
is  the  right   one,  since  the  decision  depends 
very  much  upon  the  rather  capricious  inter- 
pretation of  the  meaning  of  these  ancient  au- 
thors.   And  only  so  much  is  certain,  but  noth- 
ing less  than  certain,  to  see  that  comet  again 
in  about  1857  or  I860.    The  greatest  astro 
nomical   authority   of  our  century,  Gaus,  of 
Goetting,  ever  entertained  the  latter  view.     So 
far  would  the  talk  among  the  public  rest  upon 
the  rather  unnecessary  alarm  and  the  prema- 
ture expectations  which  were  raised. 

"  But  of  late,  it  pleased  some  who  had  to 
create  a  more  lively  interest  to  a  subject  which 
is  in  itself  nonsense,  by  fixing  a  day,  the  13th 
of  June,  for  the  re-appearance  of  the  comet, 
and  by  combining  it  with  the  idea  of  the  de- 
struction of  the  world.        *        #        *        * 
The  false  prophet   found   creelulous    hearers, 
and,  what  is   worse,   opened  the  door  for  un- 
called for  comforters.    With  regard  to  the  let- 
ter, we  may,  in  a  few  words,  state  the   follow- 
ing facts,  which  fortunately  render  the  dem- 
onstration of  Babinet  superfluous.    It  appears 
irrefutably  that  the  body  of  comets  are  ex- 
tremely rare,  that  they  properly  form  no  coho- 
rent  masses,  but  that   they  are  composed  of 
minute  corpuscles  (small  bodies)  separated  from 
each  other  by  large  spaces.    Even  in  the  most 
improbable  case  of  a  collision,  (which   could 
only  occur  by  an  almost  incredible  coincidence 
of  circumstances,)  such  a  case,  far  from  involv- 
ing the  ruin  of  our  globe,  would  at  most,  be 
comparable  to  a  falling  meteor,  and  would 
scarcely  reach  the  effect  of  a  storm  or  hurri- 
cane.   The  mere  passage  of  the  earth  through 
the  tail  of  such  a  body,  which  may  easier  take 
place,  would  be  without  any  pernicious  effect, 
the  body  of  comets  not  being  coherent,  hence 
it  does  not  contain  an  atmosphere  which  we 
could  not  inhale.    As  far  as  regards  the  comet 
of  1556  in  particular,  its  orb  is  so  situated 
that  it  might  approach  the  earth  at  a  distance 


of  about  one  million  of  German  miles,  so  that 
in  its  nearest  approach,  it  would  be  nineteen 
times  more  distant  from  u8  than  the  moen. 

"It  is  therefore  wrong,  except  we  listen  to  the 
talk  calculated  to  excite  the  credulous,  to  ns- 
cribe  to  this  innocent  phenomenon  any  evil  ef- 
fect We  learn  from  too  reliabTe  a  source  hoi 
to  believe  it,  that  even  on  Austrian  soil,  peas- 
ants in  expectation  of  what  is  to  come,  cease 
cultivating  their  fields.  Such  blindness  would 
make  us  laugh,  if  it  were  not  too  much  to  be 
regretted. 

••  Onq  \»mi  indeed  be  young,  not  to  remem- 
ber having  several  times  happily  survived  such 
expected  destructions  of  the  world." 

Second   Syna- 


Manchester,   Eng.— A    _       _- 
gogue  on  Progressive  Principles. 

Maxcubster,  Eng.— The  corner  stone  of  a 
second  Synagogue  on  progressive  principles, 
was  laid  on  the  11th  of  April  last,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  a  highly  intelligent  and  re^'pectable 
number  of  ladies  and  gentlemen.  Among  the 
attendants  we  find  the  names  of  Mr.  T.  Theo- 
dores, and  the  Rev.  Prof.  Mark-,  pastor  of  the 
congregation  of  British  Jews  of  London.  A 
procession  of  140  school  children,  attended  by 
the  master  and  mistress,  proceeded  to  the  spot. 

On  arriving  at  the  site,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Schil- 
ler Szinessy  the  minister  read  a  Hebrew  prayer ; 
after  which  Mr.  Theodores  presented  to  Mr. 
MichoUs,  the  architect,  an, elegantly  wrought 
silver  trowel,  bearing  the  appropriate  inscrip. 

tion  : —

March  Uth,  5617—1857."

.  Paris.— The  late  marriage  in  the  Roths- 
child family  brought  the  officiating  minister  Dr. 
Adler  of  I^ondon,  the  sum  of  about  ?2,500, 
besides  a  silver  tea  set.

What's  Hallowed  Ground. 

What's  hollowed  ground  f     Hath  earth  a  elod 
Its  Maker  meant  not  should  be  trod 
By  mon,  the  imsge  of  his  God, 

Erect  and  free, 
Unscourged  by  Superstition's  rod 

To  tJo  vTtfee  knee  t 
What's  hollowed  ground— where,  mourned  ond 

missed. 
The  lips  repose  our  love  hoo  kiaeed ; — 
But  where'*  their  memory's  moDsion  f     Is't 

Yon  churchyard's  boweraf 
No!  in  ourselves  their  souls  exist, 

A  part  of  ours. 
A  kiss  con  consecrate  the  ground 
Where  mated  hearts  are  mutual  bound  : 
The  spot  where  Love's  first  links  were  wound, 

Thot  ne'er  ore  riven, 
Is  hollowed,  down  to  earth's  profound. 

And  up  to  heoven  ! 
For  time  makes  all  but  true  love  old  • 
The  burning  thoughts  thot  then  we»e   told 
lUn  molten  still  in  memory's  mould, 

And  will  not  cool 
Until  the  heart  itself  be  cold 

In  Lethe's  pool. 
What  hallows  ground  where  heroes  sleep? 
•Tis  not  the  sculptured  piles  you  heop: 
In  dews  that  heavens  far  distant  weep. 

Their  turf  may  bloom  ; 
Or  Genii  twine  beneath  the  deep 

Tkeir  coral  tomb. 
But  strew  his  ashes  to  the  wind. 
Whose  sword  or  voice  has  saved  bib«1 
And  is  he  dead,  whose  glorious  mind 

Lifts  thine  on  high? 
To  live  in  hearts  we  leave  behind, 

Is  not  to  die. 
Is't  deoth  to  sink  for  Freedom's  right? 
He's  dead  alone  that  lacks  her  light! 
And  murder  sullies,  in  Heaven's  sight, 

The  sword  he  draws: — 
What  can  olone  ennoble  fight? 

A  noble  cause! 
Give  thot ;  ond  welcome  War  to  brace 
Her  drums !  and  rond   heoven'o  reeking  spaee 
The  colours  planted  foce  to  foce, 

The  charging  cheer. 
Though  Death's  pole  horse  load  on  the  chase, 

Shall  still  be  deor. 
And  ploce  our  trophies  where  men  kneel 
To  Heoven !— But  Heoven  rebukes  my  zeol : 
The  couse  of  truth  ond  humon  weal, 

0  God  above  1 
Transfer  it  from  the  sword's  oppeol 

To  peace  and  love  1 
Peoce,  Love— the  cherubim  that  join 
Their  spread  wings  o'er  De^^tion's  shrine- 
Prayers  sound  in  vain  ond  temples  shine, 

When  they  ore  not ; 
The  heort  alone  can  make  divine 

Religion's  spot. 
To  incantations  dost  thou  trust, 
And  pompous  rites  in  domes  august  1 
The  mouldering  stones  and  metal's  rust 

Belie  the  vaunt, 
That  men  can  bless  one  pile  of  dust 

With  chime  or  chant. 
The  ticking  wood-worm  mocks  thee,  man  1 
Thy  temf.l*s—crefdi  theineclves  grow  won  ; 
But  there's  a  dome  of  nobler  span, 

A  temple  given 
Thy  faith,  that  bigots  dare  not  bon— 

Its  space  is  heaven! 
Its  roof  star-pictured.  Nature's  ceiling. 
Where  trancing  the  rapt  spirit's  feeling, 
And  God  himself  to  man  revealing. 

The  harmonious  spheres 
Make  music,  though  unheord  their  pealing 

IJy  mortol  eors. 
I'oirStsrs!  ore  not  your  beings  pure  ? 
Can  sin.  can  death,  your  worlds  obioure  ? 
Else  why  so  swell  the  thoughts  ot  your^ 

Aspect  aljove  ? 
Ye  must  be  heavens  that  moke  us  sure 
Of  heovenly  love! 


! 


And  in  your  hormony  sublime 
I  read  the  doom  of  distont  time  ; 
Thot  mon's  regenerate  soul  from  crime 

Sholl  yet  be  drown. 
And  reason  on  bis  mortal  clime 

Immortol  dawn. 
What'o  hallowed  ground?     Tie  what  gives

To  Boored  thoughts  in  louls  of  worth  I 
Peaoe !  Independence !  Truth  I  fo  forth 

Earth's  composaed  round ;

THE  FAMILY. 


Address  to  Mothers. 

The  mother  of  a  Moses,  a  Samuel,  a  How- 
ard, or  a  Fenelon  and  a  number  of  other  ben- 


cfftclQca  of  their  race*  lit  tip  Jujear  that   fj>ay     ■.tmnnfu    i^..  kj.M  ii..i  j^.l  .? .  r  i.......j.^. »  »n.i  .-.f 

were   rearing  children    whose   thoughts  and 


deeds  would  tiansmit  the  influence  of  material 
afTections  and  impressiona  to  distant  genera- 
tions, and  tiiu8  confer  enviable  iiumortulily  to 
her  who  gave  them  birth. 

Contrast  with  ihcm  the  lad//  mother  :  the 
hours  spent  before  the  toilette  ;  the  number  of 
ladies  and  gentlemen's  visits  she  has  to  receive 
and  to  pay  ;  the  calls  she  has  to  make,  leave 
her  but  lit'le  time  (if  she  even  had  the  ability 
and  the  disposition)  to  attend  to  so  arduous  a 
task  a«  bringing  up  childien.  The  whole  aOkir 
is  rather  an  incumbrance  to  her  ;  to  be  a  mo- 
ther was  the  pridt  of  the  best  of  women.  The 
mother  of  the  Scipios,  when  onoe  asked  by  a 
lady  laden  with  jewels,  who  paid  her  a  visit, — 
for  her  jewels,  she,  silently  entering  her  room, 
brought  forth  and  presented  her  children.  But 
the  lady  mother  would  rather  be  thought  not  a 
mother — and  the  whole  system  of  education  is 
managed  by  prosy  :  the  infant  is  confided  to 
the  nurse  ;  the  child  to  the  governess — the  boy 
ani  girl  to  uninterested  teachers.  Father  has 
his  business  to  attend  to,  mother  has  her  en 
gageneDts  ;  and  even  if  the  physical  and  iutel- 
Tectual  education  may  thus  to  an  extent,  be 
provided  for,  what  is  the  state  of  morality  in 
Aur  modern  unregeaerate  families  ?  What 
happiness  do  they  provide  for  their  unhappy 
offapring,  lor  a  future  day? — what  bulwarks 
against  the  temptations  of  sin  ? — what  against 
the  reverses  of  fortune? — what  against  the  day 
of  trial,  and  the  hour  of  death  ? 

Oh  !  if  the  fire  on  our  altars  ever  goes  out, 
and — woe  unto  us,  it  is  scarcely  visible, — if 
ever  another  Jeremiah  shull  sing  the  funeral 
notes  over  our  nation's  grave,  it  will  be  because 
the  mothers  of  our  time  have  forgotten  their 
duties  and  their  rower,  and  have  ceased  to 
sanctify  their  ofispring  with  early  impressions 
of  sincerity,  of  integrity,  of  sacrificing  love  to 
men,  and  reverence  before  God.  In  their  in- 
obtrusive  and  silent  sphere  of  action  they  may 
be  sustained  by  the  peculiar  aid  Icfty  conscious- 
ness, that  in  communicating  the  eternal  princi- 
ples of  piety  to  minds  created  for  immortality, 
they  are  doing  what  can  never  cease  to  be  felt  ; 
and  when  the  kingdoms  and  eraf.ircs  of  earth 
have  melted  away  and  are  forgotten,  when  the 
eloquence  and  wisdom  of  senators,  with  the 
courage  of  blood-covered  warriors  shall  have 
passed  away,  their  labors  will  be  known,  and 
acknowledged,  and  eternally  be  seen  to  be  un- 
folding iu  new  and  glorious  results. 

The  great  object  before  the  mother,  then,  is 
to  train  «p  her  child  for  eternity—  lor  the  ser- 
vice of  ungrateful  man,  wbile  here  ;  and  pre- 
sence of  God  to  everlasting  ages. 

If  this  be  the  scale  on  which  you  measure, 
yon  have  something  that  will  sustain  you  at 
all  times,  and  on  all  occasions. 

Do  you  watch  your  infant  daughter,  and 
wish  her  to  become  beautiful  ?  Think  again. 
Of  how  much  confidence  is  it,  whether  her 
dress  at  school  far  a  single  day  be  beautiful  or 
otherwise  ?  Is  it  any  ?  And  is  not  the  botly 
the  dresfl  of  the  soul,  to  be  worn  but  a  day? 

"Vou  wish  your  boy  to  be  wealthy.  Suppose 
him  to  be  on  a  journey  among  strangers,  of 
what  consequence  is  it  whether  he  travel  as  a 
poor  man's  son,  or  a  rich  man's  ?  Where  you 
so  happy  when  you  and  others  thought  your- 
selves rich  ;  and  is  not  us  great  a  fund  of  hap- 
piness to  be  met  with  among  the  poor  :  and 
surely  less  pnawings  of  the  heart — for  wrongs 
and  sins  which  dare  not  transpire  without  your 
doors  ;  for  the  worm  that  gnaws  within,  which 
you  have  to  carry  to  your  grave.  And  is  your 
child  to  be  prepared  to  no  higher  aims  ? — to  no 
more  permanent  source  of  happiness.  Are 
wealth  and  happiness  con^cn><uratc  ?  No  ! 
the  journey  of  life  wiil  soon  bo  over,  and  he 


will  never  be  wled  whether  be  were  rich  or 
poor. 

Do  you  wislu'}  our  child  to  become  honored 
among  iqen  ?  And  ia  it  of  any  great  conse- 
quence whether,  as   he  passes    through   the 


the  vile,  if  all  tiie  good  iu  the  land  will  honor 
him  ?  Let  youF  child  have  conscience  applaud 
him  and  heai^n  honor  him, — of  what  conse- 
quence are  the  honors  of  earth  ? 

But  ypu  wish  your  son  to  do  good  !  He 
will  ; — ho  will  become  a  Newton,  a  Maimoni- 
dcs  if  God  sees  best,  and  if  God  needs  his  ser- 
vices here  ;  but  even  if  he  does  not  see  fit  to 
use  him  as  an  instrument  of  great  good  here 
on  earth,  train  him  up  for  the  skies,  and  he 
will  be  used  as  a  glorious  instrument  for  pro- 
moting his  honor  hereafter.  You  may  not 
rear  up  a  prophet  here,  but  you  may  rear  up 
an  angel  hereafter.  You  may  not  see  him  \he 
object  of  admiration  here,  but  hereafter  you 
may  see  him  stand  among  the  sons  of  light, 
enjoying  the  presence  of  his  God. — Psl.  11  :  7. 

And  now  the  question  is,  how  can  the  mother 
do  this?  I  will  endeavor  briefly  to  answer  this 
question,  and  also  a  second,  viz :  Why  she 
should  try  to  do  this  ? 

How  can  the  mother  train  up  her  child  for 
God  ?  I  reply,  she  must  be  a  woman  of  Faith, 
she  must  look  up  to  her  God — and  for  these 
reasons  : 

She  needs  wisdom. 

The  child  must  receive  its  first  impressions 
and  thoughts  from  its  mother.  She  needs 
wisdom  when,  and  what,  and  how  to  teach  it 
this  or  that.  She  wants  to  know  how  to  reach 
the  mind,  how  to  imprtss  it,  how  to  guide  it, 
how  to  discipline  it.  We  call  this  kind  of 
wisdom  nkill ;  but  it  does  not  come  of  itself. 
Nor  is  it  inherent.  But  it  follows  in  answer 
to  prayer,  for  God  only  can  impart  that  wis- 
dom ;  and  the  mother  who  docs  not  seek  it  of 
Him,  may  be  sure  she  will  never  have  it.  She 
will  not  beJed  to  say  just  the  right  things,  iu 
just  the  rigfft  time  and  manner. 

The  mother  of  all  other  things  needs  self- 
discipliue. 

Without  this,  how  can  she  forego  the  plea- 
snres  within  her  reach,  if  she  leaves  her  child 
in  other  hands  and  free  herself  from  the  re- 
sponsibility ?  How  can  she  watch  over  her 
ch'lil  day  and  night,  in  sickness  and  in  health, 
with  a  patience  that  never  tires,  and  with  a 
vi^filance  that  never,  for  a  moment,  slumbers  ? 
The  trials  which  press  upon  a  mother  are  con- 
stant, uijremitted  ;  and  except  by  faith  and 
sincere  prayer,  unalleviated.  Who  can,  at  all 
times,  aud  under  all  circumstances,  command 
her  own  temper  aud  feelings,  subdue  and  dis- 
cipline her  own  heart,  unlesji  the  grace  of  God 
help  to  subdue  and  discipline  that  heart  ?  Oh  1 
mother — you  may  not  chide  in  anger, — you 
may  not  speak  with  impatience, — you  may  not

Rachel. 

In  the  early  period  of  the  world's  history,  it 
was  thought  no  disgrace  to  the  female  charac- 
ter to  he  found  discharging  some  of  the  gentle 
but  substantial  duties  ot  life.  The  first  glance 
which  the  Scriptures  give  us  of  Rachel  pre- 
sents to  our  view  as  busily  occupied  in  feeding 
her  father's  sheep.  The  paternal  dwelling  was 
at  Paran-aram,  iu  Mesopotamia,  where  the 
family  possessions  were  extensive.  She  had  an 
only  sister,  older  than  herself,  whose  name  was 
Leah.  By  the  grove  in  Beersheba,  the  father 
of  Rachel  had  a  sister,  who  was  married  to 
Isaac  the  son  of  Abraham.  This  sister  had 
twin  sons,  Esau  and  Jacob. 

The  affections  of  the  parents  are  divided  that 
the  promise  may  be  fulfilled.  Isaac  would  un- 
justly bestow  on  Esau  that  which  was  Jacob,8; 
Rebecca,  with  equal  injustice,  teaches  Jacob  to 
personate  Esau.  The  mother  shall  rather  de- 
feat the  son  and  beguile  the  father,  than  the 
father  shall  beguile  the  chosen  son  of  his  bles- 
ajpg.  Her  desire  was  good ;  the  means  she 
used  to  effect  it  were  unlawful.  God  often 
accomplishes  his  purpose  by  means  of  our  in- 
firmity ;  Yet  neither  is  our  weakness  thereby 
justified,  nor  his  unerring  justice  impeached. 

Bat  this  prevarication  soon  brought  upon 
the  youthful  victim  and  foolish  mother  a  fearful 
penalty.  By  falsehood  he  Kupplannted  Esau^ 
ud  obtained  the  birthright  of  his  father's 
house.    This  so  enraged  his  brother,  that  it

was  found  necessary  for  him  to  leuvo  the  sceuLS 
of  his  childhood  and  the  assf^ciations  of  home —  ; 
he  must  become  an  exile  in  a  distant  country.  { 
On  his  arrival  at  Haran.  the  incidents  are  I 
exceedingly  similar  to  those   which  took  p'.ace  : 
'  when  Abraham's  servant  went  to  seek  a  wife  | 
'  for  Isaac.    The  servant,  however,   when   he  ' 
j  came  to  the  well  outside  the  town,  had  camels,  | 
I  attendants,  and  stores  of  precious  things  :  but  ' 
;  the  son  stands  by  the  same  well  alone,   and 
empty  of  all  things  but  his  claims  and  his  lupes.  ! 
Jacob  also  tarries  by  the  weH,  till  the  damsel 
destined  to  become  his  spouse  appears ;  .butshe 
comes  not,  like  Rebekah,  to  fetch  water  for  do"- 
•mestic  use  from  the  well,  but  to  water  the  home 
flock  of  her  father  I^abau,  which  is  under  her 
care.  \ 

"  Behold,  Rachel  his  diiughtcr  cometh  with 
his  sheep."  The  heart  of  the  desolate  wanderer 
began  to  l>eat  with  joy.  How  shall  he  ap- 
proach her  ?  What  can  he  say  or  do  to  win 
her  confidence  or  allay  her  fears  ?  He  offers 
his  services,  rolls  away  the  stone  from  the 
mouth  of  the  well,  waters  the  sheep,  makes 
known  to  the  fair  damsel  who  he  is.  gives  to 
her  the  kiss  of  peace,  and  lifts  up  hi.s  voice  and 
weeps. 

There  was  much  to  awaken  strong  emotion — 
the  damsel  was  the  daughter  of  "  his  mother's 
brotlier  ,"  the  sheep  were  "  the  sheep  of  his 
mother's  brother."  It  is  not  without  purpose 
that  his  mother  is  thus  presented  to  us.    It  ap- 


pri'-es  n:J  that  hii  mother  was  present  to  J8. 
cob's  mind.  He  pictured  to  himself,  that  just 
as  that  maiden  appeared  there  before  him,  so, 
in  that  very  place  had  his  mother  appeared 
before  Abraham's  servant  some  forty  years  be- 
fore—and that  now  he  was  among  the  scenes 
other  youth,  of  which  she  had  often  spoken  to 
him.  We  can  therefore  well  understand  how, 
when  he  k  SJed  his  fair  cousin,  and  told  her  who 
he  was,  "  he  lifted  up  his  voice  and  wept." 
'I'his  is  a  fine  touch  of  nature  ;  and  had  the 
faults  of  Jacob  been  much  greater  than  they 
were,  we  could  forgive  them  for  those  tears. 
We  begin  to  feel  that  there  is  truth  in  this 
ma",  of  whom  we  have  not  yet  seen  much  that 
is  good.  Our  hearts  begin  to  go  with  him. 
we  begin  to  like  him.  His  future  career  be- 
gins to  interest  us. 

With  hasty  step  and  fluttering  heart  the 
maiden  "  ran  and  told  her  father"  of  the  unex- 
pected arrival  of  her  cousin  Jacob.  The 
youthful  stranger  met  a  hearty  welcome,  and 
^rom  that  hour  there  was  kindled  in  the  breasts 
of  the  newly-met,  a  tender  flame  which  was  to 
ripen  and  mature  into  settled  and  unchanging 
affection. 

For  a  time,  all  .seemed  marked  by  generosity 
on  the  side  of  the  uncle,  and  respect  and  grati- 
tude on  the  part  of  the  nephew.  It  was  not 
long,  however,  before  the  selfishnes  of  the  Syr- 
ian was  displayed,  and  his  true  character  devel- 
oped, in  the  treatment  which  he  gave  his  con-

fiding  and  unprotected  relative.  He  made  him 
as  one  of  his  hired  servants,  and  then  defrauded 
him  of  the  wages  of  servitude. 

Lo,  he  serves  seven  years  for  his  Rachel,  and 
at  the  end  is  beguiled  by  the  subtlety  of  La- 
ban,  and  compelled  to  be  the  unwilling  hus- 
band of  Leah.  In  the  substitution  of  the  elder 
daughter  for  the  younger  he  could  not  but  re- 
member his  own  past  treachery.  At  a  mo. 
ment  when  we  think  not,  God  often  repays  ua 
our  sins  by  the  sins  of  others.  Other  leven 
years  must  he  serve /or  Rachel. 

There  is  a  touching  melancholy  in  the  reci- 
tal of  this  iniquitous  course  as  given  by  the 
sufferer.  "Thus  I  was:  In  the  day  the  drought 
consumed  me,  and  the  frost  by  night ;  and  my 
sleep  departed  from  mine  eyes.  That  whiih 
was  torn  of  beasts  I  brought  not  unto  thee.  I 
bare  the  loss  of  it ;  of  my  own  hand  didst  thou 
require  it,  whether  stolen  by  day  or  stolen  by 
night.  Thus  have  I  been  twenty  years  in  thy 
house,  and  thou  hast  changed  my  wages  ten 
times."  All  this  was  submitted  to  for  the  sake 
of  Rachel.  The  cheerfulness  with  which  he 
agreed  to  serve  seven  years  that  he  might  ob- 
tain her  for  his  wife',  is  beautifully  set  forth  in 
the  simple  but  expressive  words  of  the  histori- 
an— ^"  Jacob  served  seven  years  for  Rachel, 
and  they  seemed  to  him  bat  a  few  days  for  the 
love  he  hod  to  her."  At  the  end  of  seven 
years,  the  cupidity,  the  wicked  avarice  of 
Laban,  led  him  to  resort  to  a  vile  artifice  to 
impose  additional  servitude  upon  bis  nephew.

Short  account  of  Evandtr  and   Tneodoma.— 
How  Religion  supports  tke  members  of  a  re- 
ligious family  under  afflictive  events,  exhibit- 
ed in  the  deal fi  of  Iheodosia. 
"Evander  and  The>  dosia  were  both   the  off- 
spring of  pious  parents.    Their  union  was  a 
congenial  one  .     It  had  all  the  qualities  which 
accompany  an  attuchraint  founded  not  merely 
on  similarity  of  religious  views  :  it  waa  such 
nn  afrectioi)  as  they  could  neither  suppress  nor 
direct  to  another  oty  ct.      But  though  their 
ftttnehment  wus  not  produced  by  their  religion, 
it  was  nourished  hy  it.    Whatever  they  saw  in 
o.ich  other's  person   or  temper,  to  unite  their 
hearts,  was  heightened  by  the  satisfactiou  iht  y 
hud  in  each  other's  piety,  and   the  consequent 
prospact  of  spending  a  harmonious  life,  and  a 
blessed  eternity  together.  ^ 

Their  hands  were  joindji,  and  they  entered 
on  a  state  blessed  with  all  the  enjoyments  which 
an  unshackled  afToction  could  yield  to  minds 
eeasomdwiih  the  benevolence  and  purity  of 
which  true  religion  consists.    Their  equal  re- 


gard  to'Gbd,  diramishcd  not  one  en  j^yniont  m 
which  a  fond  couple  should  share  ;  buL  was,  on 
the  contrary,  an  additional  source  of  pleasure. 
They  "  delighted  in  God  ;"  and  they  delighted 
in  the  society  of  each  other. 

Their  unanjiaity,  their  visible,  though  un 
pluditd  interchanges  ofkiuduess,  Lad  an  assim- 
ilating h  fluence  on  their  family  ;  and  served  to 
give  considi-ruble  effect  to  that  religious  order 
which  they  had  established,  'i'he  iNVisinLK 
world  being  in  a  great  measure  habitually  be- 
fore them,  they  both,  ii\  their  respective  de- 
partments attended  to  those  who  were  under 
them,  (whether  children  or  servants,)  as  having 
the  charge  of  immoutals. 

Such  was  their  behavior  toward  their  child- 
ren, that  it  seemed  us  if  training  them  for  an 
eternal  state  was,  in  their  view,  the  principal 
purpose   for  which   Divine   Providence  gave 
them  an  offspring.     And  to  this  business  they 
applied  ihemstlvcs  with  pleasure.     They  began 
earlij  with  iht  infusion  of  religious   ideas  into 
the  minds   of  their  children  :  wisely  limiting 
themselves,  at  first,  to  those  few  great  princi- 
ples which  are  the  foundation  of  all  religion. — 
On  these  points,  simple  as  they  are,  they  did 
not  e.xpecl  to  produce  conviction  in  the  infant 
mind.     Yet  they  conceived,  that  one  way  to 
prevent  the  introduction   of  evil,  was  to  pre- 
occupy the  mind  with  that  which  is  good. — 
And  it  mver  once  came  into  their  thoughts, 
that  they  should   be  blamed  for  enforcing  a 
truth  on  children,  because  the  disciples  were 
too  young  to  nee  that  truth  in  as  clear  a  light 
as  their  insirueters  did.      They  had  none  of 
the  Bubloties  and  refinements   of  skeptics,  in 
their  method  of  education.      They  went  to 
work  in  a  straight  forward  way  ;  what  they 
bad   learned  they  tau.nht ;  ihcy  trusted  they 
knew  "  the  way  of  life,"  and  they  endeavored 
to  lead  their  children  in  the  same  path.' 

Intpressed  with  tl  e  infinite  imprrtance  of 
this  part  of  a  parent's  duty,  they  took  pains  in 
it.  'I'o  conduct  a  business  ofsuch  consequence, 
in  a  desultory  way,  wus  in  their  opinion  but  a 
hmiiller  digree  of  that  criminality  which  neg- 
lects it  entirely.  It  therefore  did  not  content 
them,  to  inculcate  religious  ideas  ;  they  ainn  d, 
iu  d.  pet-dance  on  God,  to  induce  moral  hubits. 
Genuine  piety  was  the  model  they  kept  in  their 
eye.  To  sie  this  simple  character,  in  their 
children  ;  to  see  them  avowedly  on  the  side  of 
truth,  yet  free  from  all  aff.'ctation  ;  evidently 
des  rous  of  living  a  useful  life,  yet  neither  vain 
nor  obtrusive,  was  a  hope  they  exposted  not  to 
realize  without  great  pains  taken  on  their  part. 
They  counted  the  cost,  and  determined  to  pay 
it.  Hereby  they  hoped  to  obtain  thtJ  divine 
blcsMng  upon  their  endeavors.  This  they  con- 
Btautly  prayed  for  ;  believing,  from  what  they 


knew  of  the  depravity  of  human  nature,  that 
without  it  their  labors  would  fail  of  success. 

But  this  pious  care  was  not  confiued  to  the  r 
children ;  it  extended  to  every  member  of  their 
family.  It  began  to  operate  snL-ntTy  at  the 
very  first  sight  of  a  new  domestic.  Aware  of 
the  sordid  ignorance  in  respect  to  the  princi- 
ples of  true  religion,  prevalent  among  the  un- 
educated, and  knowing  that  in  their  own  house 
there  were  belter  opportunities  of  learmng 
divine  truth,  they  seldom  hired  aserv  mt  with- 
out  feeling  an  anxious  wish  that  he  might  know 
something  more  of  God,  by  coming  among 
them,  than  he  knew  before. 

Thus  honoring  God,  they  were  honored  by 
him.  Their  family  was  not  a  society  of  starch- 
ed formalists,  distinguished  by  s.me  unnatural 
peculiarity  of  dr^ss  or  language ;  but  whi.e 
they  looked  like  the  members  of  other  families, 
they  lived  differently.  They  were  taught  to 
reverence  the  word  and  ordinances  of  God.— 
They  were  taught  that  the  blessing  of  God, 
and  the  favor  of  their  common  superiors,  were 
to  be  expected  in  fulfilling  the  duties  of  their 
stations,  and  in  the  discharge  of  good  offices 
toward  each  other.  Favoritism  was  struck  ont 
of  that  system,  which  the  heads  of  the  family 
adopted  :  every  one  knew  that  impartial  kind- 
ness was  the  law  of  the  house. 

Thus  taught,  Vhey  repaid  thrrr  fc<rt«ih*fs  by 
practising  Ihe  lessons  in  which  they  had  been 
instructed.  1  he  house  was  the  abode  of  reg- 
ularity, industry,  uprightness  and  peace.  It 
was  not  exempt,  indeed,  from  human  infirmi- 
ties ;  yet  it  showed  to  what  a  degree  of  excel- 
lence human  nature,  under  proper  management, 
may  be  brought ;  and  it  produced  social  grati- 
fications, untasted,  where  the  cultivation  of  re- 
ligious principle  is  neglected.  Nor  was  it  easy 
to  mistake  the  source  whence  all  the  regularity 
and  comfort  of  this  abode  proceeded  :  the  gen- 
uine religion  of  Evander  and  Theodosia.  Their 
authority,  their  instruction,  and  their  example, 
accounted  for  all  that  distiuguished  this  happy 

society. 

They  had  the  reward  of  seeing  the  fruit  of 
their  labors.  That  house,  over  which  they  rn- 
Itd  in  the  fear  of  God,  was  not  exempt  from 
the  ordinary  visitations  of  Providence.  Like 
other  houses,  it  was  subject  to  the  incursion  of 
death  ;  and  at  length  the  event  took  place ; 
but  not  accompanied  with  its  usual  horrors.— 
The  trial  was  softened  by  the  manner  in  which 
it  was  met,  both  by  those  who  deparcd,  and 
those  who  were  called  to  give  them  up :  the 
former  being  enabled  to  die  rejoicing  in  the 
hopes  of  that  immortality  which  had  been  in- 
culcated in  the  family,  and  the  latter  to  find  a 
relief  under  the  painful  stroke  which  separated 
one  friend  from  the  other,  in  the  well-grounded 
hope  of  meeting  again  in  a  better  world. 

The  person  whom  it  pleased  God  first  to  take 
from  this  family,  was  one  of  its  important  and 
most  lovely  members.  It  was  Theodosia  :  the 
wife,  the  mother,  the  delightful  companion  of 
her  husband,  the  nurse  and  instructress  of  his 
children,  the  discreet  manager  of  his  domestic 
affairs ;  whose  unremitting  attention  banished 
confusion  from  the  house,  and  whose  sweetness 
of  temper  filled  it  with  peace.  I  need  not  de- 
tail ev3ry  particular  of  her  last  illness  ;  an  ac- 
count of  the  concluding  circumstances  will  be 
sufficient  for  my  purpose.

eon  U  of  appeal— translated  by  U.  Q.  Linberg. 
On  the  26lh  of  May,  1828,  towards  the  close 
jf  the  day,  a  citizen  of  Nuremberg,  (in  Fran- 
conia,)  who  lived  near  the   small  and  unfre- 
quented Haller  gate,  and  who  was,  at  the  time, 
loitering  before  his  door,  observed  at »  short 
distance,  a  young  man  in  a  peasant's  dress. 
He  was  standing  in  a  very  singular  posture, 
and,  apparently  like  one  intoxicated,  was  en- 
deavoring to  walk,  but  without  the  ability  to 
keep  himself  erect,  or  to  govern  the  movement 
of  bis  legs.    The  citizen  approached  the  stran- 
ger, who  held  ont  to  him  a  letter,  directed  "To 
the  captain  of  the  4th  E^gataren  of  the  Shwo 
li.skjy  regiment,  Nuremberg." 

The  captain  referred  to  lived  near  the  New 
gate  ;  and,  though  not  without  much  difficulty, 
thither  the  citiz.-n  conducted  the  strange  youth. 
On  entering  the  captain's  mansion,  the  strang- 
er advanced   towards  the   servant  that  had 
opened  the  door,  with  his  hat  on  his  head,  and 
the  letter  in  his  hand,  addressing  him  in  a  jar.

what  he  wanted  ;  who  he  was ;  and  whence  he

stand none  of  these   interrogatories,  his  only 
reply  being,  "  Ae  sechtene  mocht  ich  waen,' 
Ac:   the  same  unintelligiole   jargon   be  bad 
previously  uttered  when  accosted  by  the  citi- 
zen who  accompanied  him.     The  young  man 
was  so  much  fatigued  as  scarcely  to  be  able  to 
walk  or  stand.    Weeping,  and  with  an  expres- 
sion of  excessive  pain,  he  pointed  to  his  feet, 
which  were  sinking  under  him.    He  appeared, 
also,  to  be  suffering  from  hunger  and  thirst.    A 
small  piece  of  meat  was,  therelore,  offered  him; 
but  the  first  morsel  had  scarce  touched  his  lips, 
before  he  shudderetl,  the  muscles  of  his  face 
being,  at  the  same  time,  seized  with  spasms ; 
and,  with  visible  horror,  he  spit  it  out.     On 
tasting  a  few  drops  of  beer  that  was  presented 
to  him,  he  likewise  showed  the  same  marks  of 
aversion.    But  a  bit  of  br'  ad,  and  a  g'oss  of 
water,  he  swallowed  greedily,  and  with  great 
satisfaction.     In  the  mean  time,  all  attempts 
to  gain  any  information  respecting  his  person, 
bis  arrival,  or   his  residence,   were  altogether 
fruitless.     His  language  consisted  of    tears, 
moans,  and  nntelligible  sounds,  or  of  an  awk- 
ward attempt  at  the  words  already  mentioned. 
In  the  captain's  hou;e,  he  wus  taken   for  a 
kind  of  demi-savage.    The  captuin  knew  noth- 
ing of  the  stranger ;  nor  could  he  leurn  any- 
thing concerning  him  from  the  lelttr  which  he 
had  brought,  any  more  than   by  questioning 
him.    For  a  development  of  the  mystery  which 
bung  over  the  ch-iracter  and  purposes  of  this 
singular  being,  as  well  as  for  the  care  of  his 
person,  he  was,  therefore,  consigned  over  to  the 
city  police.     His  journey  to  the  police  office, 
in  his  pitiable  situation,  (for,  it  afterwards  pro- 
ved, that  this  wus  about  his  first  attempt  at 
walking,  and  the  first  time  he  had  worn  shoes 
or  boots  ;  and,  moreover,   that  the  boots  be 
then  had  on,  had  excoriated  and  sorely  blstcr- 
ed  his  ft  ct.)  was  almost  a  course  of  martyrdom, 
and  not  accomplished   but  with  the  greatest 
difficulty. 

At  the  guard  room,  he  was  ecjually  looked 
upon  as  a  most  extraordinary  phcnomcKon. — 
The  atttempt  to  examine  him  by  questions, 
proved  altogether  unavailing.  A  repetition  of 
the  sounds,  "  Ae  reuta  wachn,"  &c.  (to  whu-li 
sounds  he  himself,  as  was  afterwards  asct. ; 
td,  attached  not  the  shadow  of  a  meaning.) 
were  the  only  sounds  or  words  which,  on  the 
most  diverse  occasions  he  uttered.  He  uppcar- 
ed  neither  to  know,  nor  to  consider,  where  he 
was.  He  betiaycd  neither  astonishment,  ftar, 
nor  confu3ion  ;  but  rather  showed  that  kind  of 
iuscnsibihly.  or  brutish  duUnes.^,  which  c^flnr 
leaves  ex'.crnal  objects  entirely  unnoticed,  or 


gazea  at  them  withont  thought,  and 
them  to  pass  without  being  affected  byt 
His  tears  and  whimpering,  while  he  vaij 
quently  pointing  to  his  tortured  and  tottfl 
ieet,  together  wUh  his  awkward  and  chili 
demeanor,  soon  excited  the  compassiOD  «|1 
who  were  present.  A  soldier  offered  hi{ 
piece  of  meat  and  a  gla=8  of  beer ;  but  i 
in  the  same  manner  as  at  the  captaiu'sl 
he  rejected  with  shuddering  and  abhors 
Another  gave  him  a  piece  of  coin.  All 
he  expressed  the  joy  of  a  little  child  ;  ad 
short,  his  whole  conduct  and  demeanor  ^ 
to  be  that  of  a  child  scarcely  two  yiursj 
although  he  possessed  the  stature  of  ajij 

man.  L 

The  police,  not  knowing  whether  to  cobI 
him  an  idiot,  a  madman,  or  a  savage,  or  ri 
er,  under  the  guise  of  a  stupid  boy,  somj 
ning  deceiver  might  not  be  concealed,  m:l 
to  the  tower  of  the  Vestner  gate,  a  place  j 
for  the  confinement  of  rogues  and  vagaboJ 
The  name,  Caspar  Hauser,  he  wore  o  J 
hat,  when  first  discovered  in  Nuremberg.  I 
dress  was  very  shabby,  though  evident!;j 
I  that  of  a  peasant,  nor  one  made  for  hims 
His  pockets  were  stuffed  with  religions  r 
I  scripts  and  books.    The  letter  which  ' 
ried  in  his  hand,  was  written,  a  part 
man  characters,  and  a  part  in  Latin  ;  ba 
stead  of  giving  any  8»aifefACtoty  inlorc 
concerning  him,  it  seemed  purposely  p 
with  a  view  to  render  stiil   moi-e  diffieulil 
solution  of  the  dark  enigma  which  Caspaij 
sented  in  his  own  person.     It  purported  i 
written  by  a  female  ;  stated   that  Casfd 
17  years  old  ;  and  that  he  wished  to  becs^ 

soldier.  , 

On  his  first  appearance  in  Nuremberg! 
par  was  only  four  feet  and  nine  inches  inbJ 
but  his  stature  soon  rapidly  increased.! 
complexion  was  fair;  his  limbs  were  deli^ 
formed  ;  his  hands  small  and  beautifulljl 
ped  ;  and  the  soles  of  his  feet,  as  well  ^J 
palms  of  his  hands,  were  soft  as  those  i« 
infant ;  but  his  countenance  lacked  anm 
and  expression  ;  and  the  staring  look  (I 
clear  and  bright  bloc  eyes,  betrayed  an  if* 
ile  inanity.     If  anything  pleasant,  how.v 
fccted  his  minp,  a  smiling,  heart- winuiiigij 
ness  diffused  itself  over  his  fe^vtu.es,  anJJ 
ed  up  his  coontenance  with  that  irns'j 
charm  which  alone  is  revealid  by  the  jo;| 
innocent  child.     He  knew  but  little  hd^ 
to  use  his  hands  and  fingers,  than' he  i 
legs  and  feet.    In  taking  hold  of  anytlifl 
einploycd  the  tips  of  his  first  finger  aid  i 
with  the  others  stretched  out  stiff  aud  5.n 
in  the  uncouth  and  awkward  manner  ofij 
child  that  has  not  yet  learned  to  handlej 
His  gait,  like  that  of  an  infant  nia.iJ' 
first  tssays  in  leading  strings,  was,  Fl 
speaking,  not  a  walk,  but  rather  a  ««» 
tottering,  groping  of  his  way— a  p^i"' 
dium  between  the  motion  of  falhng  anJJ 
dcavoring  to  keep  himself  upright, 
tempting  to  walk,  instead  of  first  trcadmSj 
ly  on  his  heel,  as  persons  commonly  do. J 
ced  his  heels  and  the  balls  of  his  feet  s'j 
neously  upon  the  ground  ;  and,  instead 
ing  only  one  foot  at  a  time,  he  would  et* 
to  raise  both  at  once.     In  this  miseraKi 
ward  manner,  he  toddled  and  stumbled 
and  heavily  forward,  with  aimsstifTaDd* 
cd  out,  which  he  seemed  to  use  as  ba!8C«l 
The  slightest  impediment  caused  Uin. 
fiat  on  the  floor  :  and  for  a  long  time  ™ 
arrival,  he  c  uld  not  go  up  and  do«5

Mount  Sinai. 

(Continued  from  p.  166.) 


Influence  of  Religion. 

K.  SII^I.OMOTH  of  8ABACZIN. 

Conchidt^d  from  p.  168. 
No,  he  does  uot  attend  Synagogue,  not  even 
on  V'o;n /if/;>;)ur,(Day  of  Atonement )  He  stays 
in  his  Beth  Hammidraik,  (wt'idy,)  not  from  a 
contempt  of  public  worship,  not  from  a  desire 
to  hi"  singular,  but  from  a  conviction  that  he 
could,  as  a  learned  man,  improve  his  time  bet- 
ter iit  home  than  in  public,  ile  knows  that, 
(acf  ordiug  to  the  Uabbis)  the  Belk  Hammid- 
rash  is  considered  of  higher  sanctity  than  the 
Synagdgue,  he  acta  on  the  example  of  the  an- 
cient ?ages,  who  paid  their  devotion  in  tluir 
studies,  in  preference  to  repairing  to  Syna- 
gogues. Besides,  R.  Shalomoh  "says"  no  Pin- 
tim  (r)attical  compoyt  ons) — he  reads  no  Much. 
sor*  (the  familiar  term  for  the  Cycle  of  Pinlim) 
be  merely  reads  those  prayers  which  are  foun<i 
in  the  "  Daily  Prayer  Book."  But  how  does 
he  till  out  the  time  left  him  by  the  omission  of 
thew  poetical  compositions  ? 

Independintly  of  his  studies  of  (what  he  con- 
Bider.4  sacred  books)  the  Rabbis,  R.  Sh^lomoh 
has  another  way  of  sp-nding  his  Yom  Kippur, 
and  to  which  to  call  the  attention  of  our  reiiders, 
is  the  principle  aim   of  this  article.     As  the 
caption  fVLys,  the  conduct  of  our   Rabbi   will 
show  us   tlic  influence  of  Religion.    The  Yom 
Kippur  being  the  most  sacred  day  of  the  year, 
(see  Leviticus,  chap  IC  ct.  2;i)  among  the  great 
nnmbf.Ti  who  attend  the  Synagogues  (which 
are  not  closed  on  that  day  from  the  ere  of  the 
ninth  to  the  eve  of  tenth  day  of  Thrishri,)  in 
in  Russia,  where  the  Je«i  h  poja'ation  is  very 
considerable,  a  great  many  mothers  leave,  in 
ther  mistaken  zeal,  their  infants  and  children 
at  home.      Comparatively  few  families  can  af- 
ford to  keep  servants  ;  the  children   left  to 
themselves  might  incur  danger,  and   particu- 
larly t  be  helple.-i8  babes  might  miss  the  absent 
mother  ;  and  it  is  our  Rabbi,  who,  inspired  by 
a  spirit  of  humanity,  pays  the  most  sacred  and 
acceptable    worship   to  God — love    to  man. 
You  saw  him  wander  through  the  streets,  (it 
was  the  Jews  quarter,)   listen  at  some  win 
dowa,  enter  several  houses,  and  hastily  rush  to 
the  Synagogue  to  call  out  a  praying  mother  to 
go  and  nurse  a  hungry,  crying  child.    It  is  his 
delight  to  be  "  a  mouth  to  the  dumb" — his 
mind  is  full  with  the  idea  of  his  God,  whose 
Berviint  he  feels  himself  to  be.     And  a  faithful 
servant  he  is  ;  his  aOections  are  set  on  things 
above  ;  his  whole  life  is  one  act  of  devotion  ; 
temporary  poverty  is  his  lot,  but  his  treasures 
are  in  heaven  ;  a  humble  hamlet  is  his  bouse, 
but  he  will  inherit  a  mansion  when  he  enters 
Ai>  Home  ;  his  name  is  not  known  among  the 
great  of  the  earth,  but  it  will  gloriously  shine 
among  the  saints  in  heaven  ;  his  inheritance 
will  bt;  the  enjoyment  of  the  Glory  of  God,  and 
his  Rest,  glorious! 

■■  Uo  shiill  rn  er  into  peace:  ho  gliall  reft  upon  his  bed.

TIBW  FROM  MOl'NT  SINAI.  .  RIHAl  DIFKICfLTIE' . 
KLKHAI'llil  (tUK     llUKKll  OF 
FOR  SINAI.  .  DISPROVED  BV  THE  .MOST     RKCENT 
DISCOVERIES. 


A  nunibpr  of  greitt  men  objected  to  tho  PiuU 
ini  for  sfVfral  reasons,  viz :  because  they  ins 
terrupt  the  train  of  lliouglit  of  the  usual  pray- 
ers, wliioh  is  prohibited  hy  ihe  Shulchar  Aruch 
(the  code  treating  on  ritual  subjeota;)  their 
languiiire  is  not  understood  even  by  the  more 
learnrd.  owing  to  thecontinual  allusions  to  the 
.A/t(/ra»/(iw,  (Legendary  Collections.)  which  are 
familiur  to  t)Ut  very  few  renders,  and  are  be- 
sides not  considered  reliable  sources;  another 
objection  is  th«t  the  authors  of  the  J'intim 
have  done  great  violence  to  the  language ; 
lastly  the  Kabbis,  in  accordance  with  the  Bible, 
declare  against  loHg  prayers,  Le  olain  yilh  paU 
Ul  (uiinn  bithpillah  KttZ'irah—"}A.ikQ  shall  ever 
use  short  prayers"  is  their  advice.  In  a  num- 
ber of  Kuropean,  and  in  some  Ameeisan  Syna- 
gogues, the  PitttimMei  snperecded  by  readiug* 
and  U'ctures  in  the  intelligible  vernacular  lan- 
guages. 


The  eye  of  a  spectator  upon  the  top  of  Sinai 
ranges  over  hundreds  of  these  wild,  dark  masse', 
which  might  seem  to  have  been  ppccially  form- 
ed by  the  hand  of  God  to  be  the  theatre  of  his 
Divine  manifestations,  and  to  give  the  higi.est 
sanction  and  effect  to  the  precepts  of  morality 
and  religion  promulgated  on  Mount  Sinai.     It 
is  not  given  ns  to   comprehend  the  reasons 
which  guided  Infinite  "Wisdom  in  the  ch"ice  of 
circumstances — why  the  covenant  was  made 
in  the  midst  of  thunder  and  earthquakes  on 
Mount  S'nai.    We  may  be  sure,  however,  that 
these  sublime  and  awful  manifestations  were 
wisely  adapted  to  the  age,  to  the  dispensation 
and  to  the  character  and  condition  of  the  peo- 
ple, for  whom  it  was  necessary,  perhaps,  to  ac- 
company the  manifestations  of  the  Divine  will 
by  such  displays  as  should  impress  most  deeply 
their  feelings  and  imaginations.      Hence  those 
exhibitions  on  the  mountain,  the  sight  of  which 
was  so  terrible.     We  do  uo  violence  to  proba- 
bility by  opplying  this  principle  upon  a  broadtr 
scale,  and  aapposing  that  '•  the^gteat  ami  terri 
ble  wilderness,"  and  the  no  less  dreary  and 
savage  mountains  which  it  embosoms,  were  se- 
lected, or  even  formed,  with  reference  to  this 
great  moral  effect.     No  one  ^Vho  duly  appre- 
ciates the  influence  of  the  Decalogue  upon  the 
dfstinies  of  the  human  race,  can  suspect  that 
this  magnificent  array  of  circumstances  was 
disproportioued  to  the  importance  of  the  end. 
Miss  Martineau  expresses  herself  in  the  fol- 
lowing  terms    about    the    view   from  Gebel 
Mousa,  (Mount   of  Moses,)  the  Sinai   of  tra 
dition  : 

"  What  a  view  it  was  when  we  came  out  • 
We  saw  every  thing  radiantly  that  came  within 
the  capacity  of  the  eye  at  all.  For  a  vast  dis- 
tance round,  it  was  one  billowy  expanse  of 
brown  summits,  arid  beyond  description,  an i 
unrelieved  by  any  variety  of  color,  or  by  any 
glimpse  of  valley  or  plain.  The  sea  line  of  the 
Gulf  of  Akaba,  was  plain  enough  a  line  of  grey 
between  two  of  sand.  To  the  north,  there  waS 
the  relief  of  a  white  ridge  above  the  desolate 
brown;— hills  in  the  El  Tiheh  region.  The 
scene  wa3  altogether  strange  and  desolate  ; — 
most  like  one's  notion  of  an  antecedent  age  of 
oor  globe, — a  time  before  man  was  created, 
when  deep  calling  to  deep,  and  t  hunders  re" 
sponding  to  thunders,  and  monsters  slow  mov. 
ing  in  wildernesses,  had  the  world  all  to  them- 
selves. I  am  thankful  to  have  seen  it ;  for, 
whether  it  be  one  of  the  historical  holy  places 
or  not,  its  singular  wildness  renders  it  quite 
sacred  enough." 

[to  be  continued.] 

Payment. 

We  beg  to  call  the  attention  of  the  friends 
of  the  Gleaner,  that  considering  the  heavy  Cal- 
ifornia expenses,  and  the  limited  number  of 
reaers  whose  mind  is  at  all  attuned  to  such 
reading  matter  as  our  publication  contains 
— our  future  existence  can  only  then  be  secured, 
if  our  friends  try  to  interest  themselves  in  our 
behalf,  in  spreading  our  paper,  and  by  regular 
remittances  of  small  sums  due  to  us.  We 
therefore  sincerely  hope  that  our  readers  in 
the  country,  will  kindlysend  their  contributions 
by  mail  or  otherwise,  in  cash,  or  in  post  stamps 
closed  in  a  letter. 

I'ayments  are  most  conveniently  made  by 
post-stamps,  or  in  cash  enclosed  in  an  adver- 
tised letter  by  mail. 

"The  eye  that  mocketh  at  his  father,  and  de- 
spiaeth  to  obey  his  mother — the  ravens  of  the 
valley  shall  pluck  it  out,  and  the  yoang  eagles 
shall  eat  it." — Prov.  xxx.  17. 


"  Cursed  be    he    who  lightly  esteemeth 
his  father  or  his  mother. 


The  Comet. 

Hear  ye  the  word  which  the  Lord  speaketh 
unto  you,  0  house  of  Israel : 

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Leara  not  the  wa^  of 
thH  heathen,  and  be  not  dismayed  at  the  signs 
of  heaven  ;  for   the  heathen  are  dismayed  at 

A^ 

The  Prophet  addresses  these  words  to  the 
house  of  Israel,  who  were  carried  away  by  the 
Asyrians,  and  scattered  among  the  heathen. — 
The  latter  were  notoriously  addicted  to  astrol- 
ogy and  omens.  They,  in  their  most  impor- 
tant undertakings,  were  determined  by  these 
"  signs  of  the  heavens,"  rather  than  by  faith. 
The  Prophet  warns  them  against  such  fears, 
assures  them  to  set  their  trust  in  God,  and  to 
confide  in  his  wisdom  and  bounty.  Being  con- 
tinually in  the  hands  of  God,  no  evil  can  befal 
us,  which  is  beautifully  expressed  in  the  Hymn 
of  j\^om  Olom  : 

"  He  is  my  God,  my  living  Redeemer, 

My  shelt'ring  rock  in  a  distressed  hour  ; 
My  refuge,  my  standard,  and  protector. 

My  lot's  disposer,  when  I  seek  his  power 
Into  h'S  hands  my  spirit  I  consign. 

Whilst  wrapt  in  sleep,  and  when  again  I 
wake : 
And  with  my  spirit  my  body  I  resign — 

The  Lord's  with  me,  no  fears  my  soul  shall 
shake." 

We  learn  from  private  letters  by  the  last 
mail  that  the  prediction  about  the  appearance 
of  (he  Comet  has  spread  alarm  among  the  less 
""cnTirrntcncci  couir rcifitltotrtj  oi  x  t>ittttu  ttttu  MUts* 
sia.  Extra  fast3  and  prayers  are  ordained,  as 
is  usual  in  all  cases  of  imminent  danger  and 
accidents — the  Pslams  are  read  in  the  Syna- 
gogues, and  if  report  speaks  truth,  many  in- 
stances of  suspension  of  business  even  occurred. 
Our  enlightened  levity  has  in  this  instance  the 
advantage.  However  as  the  subject  of  the 
Comet  has  since  some  time  become  the  fre- 
quent subject  of  conversation  among  us,  we 
again  devote  some  space  to  the  subject,  intro- 
ducing it  by  the  text  quoted  above. 

The  word  Comet  from  the  Greek  comia,  or 
the  Latin  coma,  ("  hair,")  meaning  a  hairy  star, 
a  name  given  to  these  bodies  from  this  append, 
age.  They  consist,  as  we  have  already  had  oc- 
casion to  mention  wholly,  or  in  part,  of  nebu- 
lous matter,  moving  in  eccentric  orbits.  Their 
number  is  considerable,  and  may  amount  to 
above  half  a  million,  of  which  number  the  his- 
tory of  about  four  hundred  has  reached  us,  and 
only  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  has  been  more 
closely  observed.  The  more  ancient  opinion 
respecting  Comets  was,  that  they  were  enor- 
mous meteors,  formed  in  the  atmosphere,  and 
sent  as  harbingers  of  Divine  vengeance ;  an 
opinion  as  ancient  as  the  days  of  Homer,  who 
speaks  of 

"  The  red  Comet,  by  Saternia  sent 

To  fright  the  nations  by  a  dire  portent ; 

A  fatal  sign  to  armies  on  the  plain. 

Or  trembling  sailors  on  the  wat'ry  main." 

A  similar  idea  is  mentioned  by  Milton,  com- 
paring the  indignation  of  Satan  at  being  op- 
posed in  his  passage  by  Death,  to  the  burning 
of  a  Comet : 

"  That  fires  the  length  of  Ophiuclus  huge 
In  the  Arctic  sky,  and  from  his  horrid  hair 
Shakes  pestilence  and  war." 

We  have  another  instance  of  this  nature  in 

Tasso  : 

"  As  when  a  Comet  far  and  wide  descried. 
In  scorn  of  Phuebus  'midst  bright  heav'n  doth 

shine. 
And  tidings  sad  of  death  and  mischief  brings 
To  mighty  lords,  to  monarchs,  and  to  kings. 

Even  in  times  still  nearer  our  own,  they  were 
regarded  as  objects  of  dread,  and  forerunners 
of  some  great  calamity.  The  Comet  of  the 
year  1744,  which  was  thought  to  have  the  fig- 
ure of  a  flaming  sword,  spread  terror  through- 
out the  land,  from  the  apprehension  of  some 
evil  to  follow  ;  and  this  childish  opinion  was 
strengthened  by  the  breaking  out  of  a  rebellion 
in  Scotland  the  ensuing  year.  Ideas  of  this 
kind  are  now,  however,  very  deservedly  turned 
into  ridicule  by  the  best  informed  part  of  soci- 
ety ;  as  a  moment's  reflection  must  convince 
the  mind,  that  as  these  bodies  are  visible  to 


the  whole  globe,  they  cannot  be  indicative  of 
an  evil  happening  to  a  particular  spot. 

As  to  the  idle  fear  of  their  appearance  being 
attended  with  the  destruction  of  the  whole 
globe,  such  idle  predictions,  as  we  hinted  in 
onr  last  nomber,  page  169,  are  not  spread  in 
anr  days  for  the  first  time.  In  about  181^  an 
Italian  astronomical,  or,  perhaps,  astrological 
empyric,  alarmed  many  weak  and  credulous 
people  by  predicting  from  the  spots  of  the  sun, 
that  the  world  would  be  destroyed  on  the  18th 
of  July,  1816.    We  count  now,  1857. 

An  Italian  astronomer  foretold  that  the 
world  would  be  destroyed  on  the  18th  of  July, 
1816.  In  1721  the  celebrated  Whitson,  hav- 
ing calculated  that  a  Comet  would  appear  on 
the  4th  of  October,  added  that  a  total  dissolu- 
tion of  the  world  by  fire  would  take  place  on 
the  following  Friday.  x,8  the  comet  appeared 
exactly  at  the  time  specified,  it  was  concluded 
that  the  conflagration  would  as  certainly  take 
place,  and  many  ludicrous  events  are  said  to 
have  occurred. 

We  cannot  record  what  the  belief  of  former 
ages  were  concerning  Comets,  but  some  be- 
lieved them  to  be  the  luminous  departed  souls 
of  mortals,  while  others  held  it  as  a  probable 
opinion  that  they  were  appointed  by  the  Al- 
mighty as  a  place  of  punishment  for  sinners 
after  death,  who  from  the  form  of  the  cometary 
orbits,  would  be  alternately  tormented  with 
the  H»06t  iasupportablc  beat,  when  nearest  the 
sun,  and  in  the  opposite  point,  or  aphelion, 
with  the  greatest  possible  degree  of  cold.  We 
are  more  satisfied  with  the  light  of  modern 
discoveries  and  the  assurance  of  the  prophet : 

"Hear  ye  the  word  which  the  Lord  speaketh 
unto  you,  O  house  of  Israel : 

Thus  saith  the  Lord:  Learn  not  the  ways  of 
the  heathen,  nor  be  ye  dismayed  at  the  signs 
of  heaven,  for  the  heathens  are  dismayed  at 
them." — Jeremiah  x  :   1  2. 


The  Field  of  the  World. 

Sow  in  the  morn  thy  seed, 

At  eve ihold  not  thy  hand  ; 
To  doubt  and  fear  give  thou  no  heed, 

Broad-cast  it  o'er  the  land. 

Beside  all  the  waters  sow. 
The  highway  furrows  stock. 

Drop  it  where  thorns  and  thistles  grow, 
Scatter  it  on  the  rock. 

The  good,  the  fruitful  ground, 
Expect  not  here  nor  there  : 

O'er  hill  and  dale,  by  plots,  'tis  found  ; 
Go  forth,  then,  everywhere. 

Thou  knowest  not  which  may  thrive. 

The  late  or  early  sown  ; 
Grace  keeps  the  precious  germs  alive. 

When  and  wherever  strown. 

And  duly  shall  appear, 
In  verdure,  beauty,  strength  ; 

The  tender  blade,  the  stalk  the  ear. 
And  the  full  corn  at  length. 

Thou  canst  not  toil  in  vain  ; 

Cold,  heat,  and  moist,  and  dry. 
Shall  foster  and  mature  the  grain 

For  garners  in  the  sky. 

Thence,  when  theglorious'^end, 

The  day  of  God  is  come. 
The  angel-reapers  shall  descend, 

And  Heaven  cry — "  Harvest-home."

JUVENILE. 


The  War  Cry. 

A  Dialojfue  between  Two  Brotbcru,  on  Peace  and  War. 

[James  quietly  seated  with  a  school  book, 
is  learning  a  lessorn,  tphen  William  hastily 
enters,  exdaivnng^] 

"James  !  James  !  have  you  heard  the 
news  ?" 

"  No,  William,  I  have  heard  no  news. 
What  is  it  all  about  ?" 

"Oh,  there  is  a  war.  They  say  the 
Mexicans  have  been  trying  to  invade  the 
United  States,  and  the  American  soldiers 
gave  them  battle,  and  gained  a  great  vic- 
tory ;  and  as  soon  as  Congress  heard  of 
it  they  declared  war  !  Hurrah  !  Hur- 
rah !     What  fine  times  now  !" 

"What !  fine  times  in  war  ?  Did  you 
ever  read  of  any  war  iu  which  they  had 
fine  times  ?" 

"  Well  I  mean  we  shall  have  a  great  time 
now  !  The  soldiers  will  be  fighting  away 
and  the  papers  will  be  so  full  of  the  bat- 
tles that  there  will  be  a  great  deal  to 
read  and  talk  about.  And  then  all  the 
victories  we  shall  gain  will  be  so  fine  !" 

"  I  don't  see  that  you  need  be  in  such 
]ii;.!;li  .spirits  about  it  !  I  cannot  see  that 
the  war  will  do  you  any  good,  and  will  do 
many  others  a  great  deal  of  harm.  For 
my  part,  I  would  rather  not  have 
war." 

"  But,  Jaraesl  wouldn't  you  like  to  read 

of  the  great  victories  over  our  enemies, 
and  hurrah  with  father  and  me  about  the 
battles'/  Jnst  think  of  our  soldiers  going 
and  conquering  the  enemy,  and  making 
them  know  that  they  cannot  do  as  they 
please  all  the  while. 

"  Yes,  William,  I  should  like  all  that, 
if  it  would  do  any  good.  I  like  to  read 
the  history  of  '76,  because  our  country 
was  striving  to  obtain  her  liberty,  which 
every  nation  ought  to  enjoy  as  we  do 
now.  But  I  don't  see  that  we  often  have 
such  good  reason  for  fighting  as  we  had 
in  '76." 

"Neither  do  I!  But  I  like  to  hear 
about  battles,  and  victories,  and  proces- 
sions, and  all  that.  Oh!  I  wish  I  was  a 
soldier,  so  that  I  could  go  and  fight  with 
the  rest." 

"  I  am  glad  you  are  not  a  soldier  and 
not  old  enough  to  be  one.  I  should  not 
like  to  have  you  killed,  or  kill  some  one 
who  never  did  you  any  harm,  and  whom 
you  very  likely  do  uot  even  know.  For 
ray  part,  it  seems  to  me  if  you  want  to 
kill  somebody,  you  had  better  take  a 
gun  and  shoot  the  first  one  you  meet  in 
the  street,  without  going  to  war." 

"  There's  no  sense  in  that,  James  I  Kill 
somebody!  Do  yon  think  I  could  do 
that." 

"  Why,  William!  if  you  were  a  soldier, 
asyou  say  you  would  like  to  be,  killing 
would  be  your  trade.  You  can  read  the 
history  of  Rome  great  men  in  that  line, 
who  tried  to  see  how  many  they  could 
kill.  The  more  th^  killed  the  greater 
men  the  common  people,  who  are  sure  to 
be  wrong  in  their  preferences  and  disgusts, 
took  him  to  be.  Now,  if  you  would  not 
hke  to  kill  some  one  alone  in  the  street,  I 
don't  see  why  you  would  like  it  any  more 
to  be  in  the  company  of  a  great  crowd 
who  were  doing  the  same  thing." 

"Well,  there  is  some  difference  between 
killing  a  man  in  the  street,  and  fighting 
the  battles  of  our  country." 


"So  there  is,  William!  And  I  ex- 
pect that  all  the  great  Generals  who 
have  ever  lived  would  talk  jnst  so.  Han- 
nibal killed  tens  of  thousands  fighting  the 
battles  of  his  country,  and  he  swore  he 
would  bate  and  kin  the  xtumaus.  Auti 
Caesar  thought  so  too,  I  dare  say.  And 
Anthony,  and  Pyrrhus,  and  Alexander, 
and  Scipio,  and  Tamerlane,  and  Antioch- 
ous,  annd  all  the  other  men,  down  to 
Wellington  and  Napoleon.  They  would 
not  kill  a  man,  but  would  lead  a  hundred 
thousand  men  to  kill  a  hundred  thousand 
others,  who  lived  on  the  other  side  of  a 
ridge  of  mountains,  or  a  river,  or  spoke  a 
different  language." 

"  But,  James!  It  is  a  cruel  and  wicked 
thing  to  kill  a  man  whom  yon  do  not 
know,  in  the  street.  But  when  sodiersare 
fighting  for  their  country,  they  fight  for 
their  rights  and  their  liberty  ;  and  if  they 
have  to  kill  their  enemies  I  don't  think 
they  do  wrong." 

"  Well,  neither  do  I,  if  they  must  fight 
for  their  liberty  ;  but  I  don't  like  war  at 
all  ;  and  if  you  read  history,  yoo  will  find 
that  most  of  the  wars  were  only  killing 
men  very  wickedly  on  a  large  scale.  As 
to  tho  battles  and  TictorTes,  i  atways 
think  when  I  read  of  a  victory  that  some 
one  must  have  been  defeated.  It  may  be 
very  fine  to  boast  of  victory,  but  what 
must  it  be  to  be  defeated." 

"  We've  got  nothing  to  do  with  that! 
We  must  look  out  for  our  own  side,  and 
let  others  look  for  theirs.  If  they  get 
beat —  the  sooner  the  better!" 

But,  William!  suppose  we  get  beat! — 
What  would  you  say  then?" 

"  Why,  fight  them  again  till  we  come 
off  best!" 

"  And  when  they  are  conquered,  what 
would  you  do?" 

"  Do?  Why,  I  would  have  a  great  cele- 
bration!" 

•'  What  for?" 

"  To  show  how  glad  we  were." 

"  Glad  that  we  had  killed  twenty  thou- 
sand men,  so  that  we  might  have  a  cele- 
bration?" 

"  Why,  no!  not  that!  But  to  be  glad 
that  our  country  had  gained  the  vic- 
tory." 

"  Well,  what  would  you  do  with  the 
men  you  had  killed?" 

"I  don't  know!  What  could  we  do 
with  them?" 

"  That's  what  I  want  you  to  think 
about!  God  puts  live  men  upright  on  the 
earth,  to  be  happy  and  love  one  another, 
but  war  stretches  them  out,  bloody  and 
torn  to  pieces,  and'dead,  to  rot  in  heaps 
where  they  should  have  sung  the  hymns 
and  songs  of  peace.  Can  your  .celebra- 
tion make  them  live  again,  and  put  them 
on  their  feet  where  their  God  placed 
them?" 

"No!  but  we  do  not  stop  to  think 
of  that  when  our  country's  honour  is  ab- 
used."

— If  they  should  be  hung  so  high  that  they 
cannot  be  conveniently  reached,  have  a  pair  of 
steps  to  stand  upon  ;  but  mind  that  they  stand 
steady.  Then  take  a  piece  of  soft  sponge,  well 
washed  and  cleaned  from  everythiogj^ritty, 
jnst  dip  it  into  water  and  squeeze  it  out  again, 
and  then  dip  into  some  spirit  of  wine.  Rub 
it  over  the  glass  ;  dust  it  over  with  some  pow- 
der blue,  or  whiting  sifted  through  muslin  ;  rub 
st  lightly  and  quickly  off  again,  with  a  cloth  ; 
then  take  iTtHean  cloth,  and  rub  it  well  again, 
and  finish  by  rubbing  it  with  a  silk  handker- 
chief If  the  glass  be  very  large,  clean  one 
half  at  a  time,  as  otherwise  the  spirit  of  wine 
will  dry  before  it  can  be  rubbed  off.  If  the 
frames  are  not  varnished,  the  greatest  care  is 
necessary  to  keep  them  quite  dry,  so  as  not  to 
touch  them  with  the  sponge,  as  this  will  dis- 
color or  take  off  the  gilding. 

To  clean  the  frames,  take  a  little  raw  cotton 
in  the  state  of  wool,  and  rub  the  frames  with 
it  I  this  will  take  off  all  the  dust  and  dirt 
without  injuring  the  gilding.  If  the  frames 
are  well  varnished,  rub  them  with  spirit  of 
wine,  which  will  take  out  all  spots,  and  give 
them  a  fine  polish.  Varnished  doors  may  be 
done  in  the  same  manner.  Never  use  any 
cloth  to  frames,  or  drawings,  or  unvarnished 
oil  paintings,  when  cleaning  and  dusting  them.

MOISTURE. — This  process  consists  in  plunging 
unsized  paper  once  or  twice  into  a  clear  solu- 
tion of  mastic  in  oil  of  turpentine,  and  drying 
it  afterwards  by  a  gentle  heat.  The  paper 
thus  prepared,  without  becoming  transparent, 
has  all  the  properties  of  writing  paper,  and 
may  be  used  for  that  purpose.  It  is  particu- 
larly recommended  for  passports,  for  the  books 
of  porters,  and  other  laborers,  and  indeed  is 
desirable  for  a  great  variety  of  purposes  for 
which  paper  that  is  capable  of  absorbing  damp 
is  very  inconvenient.  When  laid  by,  it  is  per- 
fectly secure  from  being  injured  by  mouldeness 
or  mildew,  and  is  not  likely  to  be  destroyed  by 

mice  or  insects.

To  Prevent  Cold  Feet  at  Night. — 
Draw  off  the  stockings,  just  before  undressing, 
and  rub  the  ankles  and  feet  with  the  hand  as 
hard  as  can  be  borne  for  five  or  ten  minutes. — 
This  will  diffuse  a  pleasurable  glow,  and  those 
who  do  so,  will  never  have  to  complain  of  cold 
feet  in  bed.  Frequent  washing,  and  rubbing 
them  thoroughly  dry,  with  a  linen  cloth  or  flan- 
nel, is  useful  for  the  same  purpose.  In  remov. 
ing  from  the  feet  the  accumulating  dirt  that 
obstructs  the  pores,  we  promote  health,  by 
facilitating  that  perspiration  which  nature  in- 
tended. 


Natviralization. 

To  obtain  a  certificate  of  naturalization,  ap- 
plication must  be  made  to  the  District  Courts 
of  this  State. 

Any  free  white  male  person  arriving  in  the 
United  States  shall  make  his  declaration  of 
intention  to  become  such  citizen  before  the 
Clerk  of  said  Court,  two  years  before  he  shall 
be  entitled  to  the  certificate ;  Provided,  that  if 
he  has  arrived  in  the  United  States  before  he 
was  eighteen  years  of  age,  such  declaration 
may  be  made  at  the  time  of  applying  for  cer- 
tificate of  citizenship. 

It  is  necessary  in  obtaining  certificate  of 
naturalization,  to  produce  two  citizens  of  the 
United  States,  each  of  whom  have  been  per- 
sonally acquainted  with  the  applicant  and  who 
can  testify  that  he  has  resided  in  tho  United 
States  for  the  full  term  of  five  years  and  in  the 
State  within  the  year  last  past.  That  during 
all  this  time  he  has  behaved  as  a  man  of  good 
moral  character,  attached  to  the  principles  of 
the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  and  well 
disposed  to  the  goed  order  and  happiness  of 
the  same. 

In  case  it  has  been  necessary  for  the  appli- 
cant to  make  his  declaration  of  intention  he 
must  produce  evidence  of  that.

The  first  nud  only  Sea  Bathing estabhshiiient 
on  the  Pacifif  Ocean,  where  every  convenience 
is  found  in  the  latest  style,  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  bathers  and  invalids. 

There  ia  also  attached  a  Wfcrin  Sea  Bath  for 
Ladies  of  the  Hebrew  faith,  where  they  can 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  which  is 
connected  with  the  sea. 

This  institution  has  now  bsen  in  operation 
one  year,  and  it  has  not  only  satisfied  the  ex« 
pectations  of  the  public,  but  has  far  exceeded 
the  anticipations  of  the  proprietor.  The  throng 
of  sufferers  and  bathers  has  increased  daily, 
and  in  cousequence  theAathing  facilities  have 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  im- 
portant improvements  have  been  mude.  Each 
bather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  can  be 
pronerly  cooled  and  rested.  _ 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  pDlliative, 
but  a  positive  remedy.  It  takes  the  disease  at 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hun- 
dreds of  patients  who  have  used  these  baths 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  been 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  baffled  all 
other  remedies,  have  been  cured  by  the  us«  of 
these  baths  in  a  short  time. 

Every  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  these 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  then;

To  oonvmce  the  people  of  California  that 
there  is  no  hiimbuggery  about  the  institutioli, 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  thank  that 
have  been  sent  to  ine  : 

San  FaANOisco,  lOlh  Nov.  1856. 

I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  afflicted  for 
many  months  with  severe  bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.  I 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  this 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.  I  lost  all  my 
flash,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.  My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on  to  New 
York  to  try  a  cure,  in  this  perplexity',  I  called 
on  Dr.  Brnns,  Who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  tiroes,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.  I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  me  to  Dr.  Bruns, 
under  whoae  care  I  became  healthy  and  strong. 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  publicly  to  oiako 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  sufferers  know  that 
Dr.  Bruns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health.

The  following  iiketch   of  tbli  extraordinary  tml  ill  ruted

Helm  V.W  Keuerbiich,  PresideiLt pT rnm  al Hie  R^.-ri-.  |  J'on^»nd  fear.     The  sight  of  a   black  b«;B  ad- 
eott:  U  of  appeal— traulated  by  II.  O.  Liiiberif 

[C05TIMBID   fROM   P.   174.) 

The  surprise  and  wonder  excited  by  Caspt 
liauser's  first  appearance  in  Nuremberg,  soon 
settled  down  into  the  form  of  a  dark  and  hor- 
rid enigma,  to  expiuin  which,  various  conjec- 
tures were  resorted  to.  \\y  no  means  an  idiot 
or  a  madman,  he  was  so  mild,  so  obeditnt,  and 
so  good  natured,  that  no  one  could  any  longer 
regard  this  forlorn  and  forsaken  stranger  us  a 
savage,  or  a  child  grown  up  among  the  wild 
beuKis  of  the  forest.  And  yet,  he  was  so  des- 
titute of  words  and  conceptions,  so  unactpmin- 
ted  with  the  most  common  objects  and  opera- 
tions of  nature,  and  showed  so  great  an  indif 

oicnce,  nay  abhorrence,   to    all  the  ordinary 

cuitoms,  conveniences,  and   neccssarits  of  life, 

and,  moreover,  evinced   peculiarities  so  extra- 
ordinary in  all  the  characteristics  of  his  men- 

ttfl,  moral,  physical,  and  social  being,  as  teemed 

to  leave  no  other  choice  than  to  regard  him, 

cither  as  an  inhabitant  of  some  other  planet, 

miraculously  transferred  to  the  earth,  or  as  one 

who  (like  the  ideal   man  of  i'lato)    had    been 

born  and  bred  under  ground,  and  who,  having 


vancmg  towards  him,  once  pot  him  in  so  great 
fear,  that  he  cried  out  lustily;  and,  not*'ith- 
standing  his  feet  refused  to  perform  their  office, 
he  made  every  effort  in  his  power  to  run  away 
from  her. 

Not  only  Caspar's  mind,  but  also  several  of 
his  senses,  appeared  at  first,  to  be  in  a  state  of 
torpor,  from  which  they  were  aroused  and  open- 
ed up  to  the  perception   of  external   objects, 
only  by  slow  degrees.    It  was  not  before  the 
lapse  of  several  days,  that  he  began  to  notice 
the  striking  of  the  town  clock,  and  the  ringing 
of  bells.     These   sounds   excited   in   him  the 
mo6t  profound  ailonishment,  which  wa.-  at  first, 
expressed  only  by  listening  looks,  and  peculiar 
spasmodic  motions  of  the  muscles  of  his  face  ; 
but  these  were  soon   succeeded   by  a  stare  of 
benumbed   meditation.     Some  weeks  after,  a 
baud  of  music  passed  by  the  tower,  close  under 
his  window.    On  hearing  it,  he  suddenly  stood 
listening,  moliouless  as  a  statnc.     His  counte- 
nance appeared  to   be  transfigured,  and  his 
eyes,  as  it   were,  to  radiate  his  ecstacy  ;  his 
ears  and  eyes  seemed  to  follow  the  movements 
of  the  sounds  as  they  receded  and  died  away  in

abode,  and  ascended  to  the  surface  of  the  earth 
to  behold  the  light  of  the  sun. 

Caspar  continoed  to  show  the  greatest  aver- 
sion to  all  kinds  of  food  and  drink,  except  dry 
bread   find    water.     Without  swallowing,  or 
even   tasting  them,   the  very  smell  of  most 
kinds  of  common  food,  was  sufficient  to  make 
him  shudder,  or  even  to  affect  him  still  more 
disagreeably.    The  least  drop  of  wine,  cofl".  c, 
or   the  like,  secretly  mixed   with   the  water 
which  he  drank,  produced  in   him  cold  sweats, 
or  caused  him  to  be  seized   with   vomiting  or 
violent  headache.     A  person   once  attempted 
to  force  upon  him  some  brandy,  under  a  pre 
tcnce  that  it  was   water ;  but  the  glass  had 
scarcely  reached  his  lips,  wkcn  he  turned  pale, 
sunk  down,  and   would   have  fallen  backward 
against  a  glass  door  had  he  not  been  instantly 
supported.    Even  milk,  whether  boiled  or  fVesh, 
he  could  not  bear.     At  one  time,  some  meat 
being  concealed  in  his  bread,  hesmelled  it  im- 
metliately,  and  expressed  a  great  aversion  to  it; 
but  being  prevailed  on  to  eat  it,  extreme  ill- 
ness followed  as  the  consequence.     During  the 
night,  which,  with  him,   commenced  regularly 
with  the  setting,  and  ended  with  the  rising  of 
the  sun,  he  lay  upon  his  bed  of  straw  ;   and  in 
the  day  time  he  sat  upon  the  floor,   with  his 
legs  stretched  out  before  hire.     When,  for  the 
first  time,  a  lighted   candle   was  placed  before 
him,  he  was  delighted  with   the  shiaing  flame, 
and  unsuepectingly  put  his  fingers  into  it ;  but 
ho  soon  drew  them  back,  crying  out  and  weep- 
ing.    In  order  to  try  their  effect  upon  him, 
feigned  cuts  and  thrusts  with  a  naked  sabre, 
were  made  at  him,  but  he  remained  immovable, 
without  even  winking;  nor  did  he  seem  to  har- 
bor the  least  suspicion  that  any  harm  cOuld 
thus  be  done  to  him.    Ou  placing  a  looking 
gla?s  before  him,  he  caught  at  his  own  refiect- 
cd  image,  and  then  looked  behind  it  in  order 
to  find  the  person  whom  he  imagined  was  con- 
cealed there.    Like  a  little  child,  he  endeavor- 
ed to  lay  hold  of  every  glittering  object  he 
saw,  and  when  he  could  not  reach  it,  or  when 
forbidden  to  touch  it,  he  wept.     Of  ordinary 
transactions  which  passed  before  his  eyes,  he 
took  not  the  least  notice ;  but   when  objects 
were  brought  very  near  him,  he  gazed  at  them 
with  a  vacant  look,  which,  in  many  Instances, 
was  expressive  of  curiosity  and  astonishment. 
His  whole    vocabulary    contained    only  two 
words.    Whatever  partook  of  the  human  form, 
be  cjtlled,  without  any  distinction  of  sex  or 
age,  bua ;  and  to  every  animal  he  met  with, 
whether  quadruped  or  biped,  whether  dog,  cat' 
gooEe,  or  fowl,  be  gave  the  name  of  rost ;  a 


Iheltitl"  ""^  of  mntttrit^    had  nouvfcr  ^  ^  *^„^ ,  „a,  when  they  hsd  long  ceied 
the  first  time,  emerged   from  his  subterranean 


to  be  audible  to  others,  as  if  unwilling  to  lose 
the  last  vibrations  of  these,  to  him,  celestial 
notes,  or  as  if  his  soul  had  followed  them  and 
left  its  body  behind  it  in  a  state  of  torpid  in- 
sensibility. Future  developments  clearly  illus- 
trated, however,  that  by  his  extraordinary  and 
almost  superhuman  acutencss  of  hearing,  he 
actually  heard,  in  this  instance,  the  sounds, 
long  after  they  had  become  inaudible  to  com- 
mon ears. 

Among  the  remarkable  phenomena  which 
appeared  in  CVpar's  conduct,  it  was  soon  ob- 
served that  the  idea  of  horses,  and  particularly 
of  wooden  horses,  was  one  which,  in  his  esti- 
mation, must  have  acquired  no  small  degree  of 
importance.  The  word  ross  he  pronounced 
more  frequently  than  any  other,  and  ou  the 
most  diverse  occasions;  sometimes,  indeed, 
with  tears  in  his  eyes,  and  in  a  plaintive,  be- 
seeching tone.    This  sufgested  the  idea  of  pre. 

scnting  him  with  the  toy  of  a  wooden  horse. 

Caspar,  who  had  hitherto  been  much  dejected, 
appeared  now  to  be  as  it  were,  suddenly  trans- 
formed, and  conducted  himself  as   if  he  had 
found,  in  this  little  horse,  an  old  and  long  de- 
sired friend.    With  a  countenance  smiling,  and 
in  tears,  he  immediately  seated  himself  on  the 
floor  by  the  side  of  his  inanimate  friend,  stroked 
ii,  patted   it,  kept  his  eyes  immovably  fixed 
upon  it,  and  endeavored  to  hang  upon  it  all  the 
variegated,  glittering  trifles  with  which  the  be- 
nevolence of  his  visiters  had  supplied  him  ;  and 
it  was  only  thus  applied,  that  in  his  estimation, 
these  trinkets  appeared  to  have  acquired  their 
true  value.     On  account  of  his  peculiar  par- 
tiality for  wooden  horses,  he  was  soon  supplied 
with  several,  which   henceforward   became  his 
constant'  companions  and  playmates.     With 
them  he  constantly  employed  himself,  cither  in 
decorating  them  with  trinkets,  or  in  dragging 
them  backwards  and  forwards  by  his  side.   He 
never  ate  his  bread  without  first  holding  every 
morsel  of  it  to  the  month  of  one  ot%ig  horses; 
nor  did  he  ever  drink  water  without  first  dip- 
ping their  mouths  into  it ;  for  as  yet,  infantile 
sonl,  ideas  of  things  animate   and  inanimate, 
organic  and  inorf(itic,  natural  and   artificial, 
were  strangely  mtngled  together.

of  sufTerers  and  bathers  bos  increased  daily, 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  facilities  have 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  im- 
portant improvements  have  been  made.  Eaeh 
bather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  can  be 
properly  cooled  and  rested. 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliative, 
but  a  positive  remedy.  It  takes  the  disease  at 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hun- 
dreds of  patients  who  have  used  these  baths 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  been 
healed;  and  some  diseases  that  h.ive  baffled  all 
other  remedies,  have  been  cured  by  the  use  of 
these  baths  in  a  short  time. 

Every  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  these 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  then; 
here 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  Establish- 
ment is  a  HOTEL,  containing  a  great  many 
rooms  elegantly  fitted  up  for  patients  and  bath- 
ers, and  where  they  can  lodge  and  receive 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  Merchants  and 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  for 
business  or  on  account  of  sickness,  should  not 
fail  to  go  to  the 

Sea  Baih   Hotel, 

riefore  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  many 

quacks  thatabound  in  San  Francisco. 

Ladie.%  and  Gentlemen  patronizing  my  cstab- 

[  lishment   will   find    neatly   furnished   parlors, 

I  where   every  attention  will   be   paid  ;  and  to 

bathera  the  utmost  care  will   be  rendered  by 

polite  female  and  male  servants.    These  baths, 

in  connection  with  the  Sea»Water  Douche  will 

perform  wonders ;  and   as  the  price  for  their 

use,   and  lodgings  at  the    hotel,  is   only  from 

$2  50  to  $5  per  day,  its  benefits  and  blessings 

are  alik>^  accessible  to  the  poor  as  well  as  the 

rich. 

To  convince  the  people  of  California  that 
there  is  no  humbuggery  about  the  institution, 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  thanks  that 
have  been  sent  to  me  : 

Sas  Francisco,  10th  Nov.  1856. 
I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  afflicted  for 
many  months  with  severe   bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  bad   no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.    I 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  this 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.     I   lost  all  my 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.    My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on   to   New 
York  to  try  a  cure,    in  this  perplexity,  I  called 
on  Dr.  Bruns,   who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,   which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.    I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  hassentme  to  Dr.  Bruns, 
under  whose  care  I  became  healthy  and  strong. 
I  consider  it  my   duty   thus   publicly  to  make 
known  wy  caec,  to  let  all  sufferere  know  that 
Dr.   Bruns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health.

Wliat  a  joy  to  human  eyes. 
When  it  laughs  or  when  it  cries. 

What  *  treasure,  what  a  prie ) 

Is  the  household  baby  ! 

Be  its  temper  rising,  falling, 
la  it  cooing,  crowing,  calling, 
Tis  the  same  dear,  precious  darling- 
Is  the  household  baby ! 

If  the  scene  without  be  dreary. 
If  the  heart  within  grow  weary. 
Baby  wakes,  and  all  is  cheery — 
What  a  rush  for  baby  I 

Mamma's  eyes  grow  bright  with  joy- 
Grandpa  laughs,  and  '  grandpa's  boy' 
Oladly  leaves  his  last  new  toy 
To  play  bo-peep  with  baby ! 

Sisters  from  their  music  run, 
Maud  has  caught '  the  sweetest  one,' 
Grace  bends  down  in  girlish  fun 
To  make  a  horse  for  baby ! 

Up  to  every  thing  we  know. 
Hands  and  feet '  upon  the  go,' 
What  a  funny  creature  though 
Is  the  household  baby  ! 

Bring  the  puppy  and  the  cat, 

— Let  her  puH,  and  pmeh,  and  pftti, 

Puss  and  pup  were  made  for  that* 
Made  to  please  that  baby  ! 

Bring  those  China  vases,  mamma. 
Get  the  mirror  and  the  hammer. 
Anything  to  make  a  clamor 
And  delight  the  baby  ! 

Let  it  clang  and  clash  away, 
Let  it  laugh,  and  shout,  and  play, 
And  be  happy  while  it  may. 
Dear  mischievous  baby ! 

W^hat  a  joy  to  human  eyes, 
What  an  angel  in  dipguise, 
What  a  treasure,  what  a  prize.

Stockton,  Cal. 


The  unsettled  state  of  all  California  affairs, 
the  hard  times  which,  from  a  Baperabundance 
of  traders  in  proportion   to'  the  population, 
dealers  in  general   have,  since  months,  the 
general  race  after  riches,  and   the  even  more 
general  disappointment,  cannot  but  most  per- 
niciously operate  upon  the  mind  of  the  inhab 
itants  of  our  state.     And  it  is  certain  that  in 
DO  other  estate  of  this  large  Union  has  insan- 
ity risen  to  such  a  formidable  amount  as 
among  us.    We  regret  to  state  that  the  Jew- 
ish population  has  furnished  of  late  no  small 
proportion  of  sufferers.    There  are  now  no 
less  than  nine  Jewish  male  patients  in  the 
Insane  Asylum  at  Stockton  ;  and,  considering 
that  the  Jewish  population  is,  since  a  year, 
probably,  stationary,  the  awful   increase  of 
Jewish  inmates  from  three  to   nine,  is  quite 
alarming. 

We  are  glad  to  learn  from   Mr.  Blackman 
that  the  Society, '  Ra-im  Ahu-bira,'  have  ap- 
pointed a  Committee  to  visit  the  Asylum,  at 
least  once  a  week,  and  that  they  provided 
patients  with  such  necessary   clothing,  Ac, 
as  they  needed— that  they  honored  those  who 
died  at  the  Hospital  (see  '  Gleaner,'  No.  3.) 
with  a  decent  burial,  and  they  were  not  con- 
veyed to  their  final  resting-place  in  the  manner 
in  which  patients  are  buried  when  the  Asy- 
lum has  to  furnish  the  expenses.    It  shows 
that  the  managers  are  desirous  of  assuming  a 
higher  tone,  and  that  they  are  alive  to  the 
doty  of  appearing  before  the  eye  of  the  Gen- 
tile co-citizen  worthy  of  the  name  of  Israel. 
>  The  Society  numbers  about  thirty  members 
— each  member  pays  one  dollar    a  month, 
which  contribatioD  would    be   increased  in 
cases  of  exigency. 

Thev  have  a  Synagogue,  which  is  open  on 
the  holidays. 

In  connection  with  this  Congregation,  we 
may  also  mention  the  existence  of  the  Polish 
and  German  Synagogues  of  Stockton  and 
San  Francisco.

Oorrespondenoe. 

To  the  reqaest  of  our"'  correspondent  at 
Alobilf,  Alabama,  we  reply,  that  we  long 
ago  contemplated  writiag  a  tivatise  on  the 
aubject.  which  we  hope  wioal4k.be  a  conclu- 


sive settiemeut  of  the  quest ion^^jr^iously  ; 
bat  we  cannot  6nd  the  tioie  require!  for  the 
I  necessary  research,  aa  long  ae  our  people  will 
not  feci  it  a  duty  to  support  our  ©rgau  or  its 
editor,  in  the  measure  required  for  such  a  pub- 
lication, without  compelliug  him,  by  their  neg- 
lect, to  do  as  the  builder  of  the  walls  of  Jeru- 
salem had  to  do,  who,  with  one  hand,  had  to 
carry  arms  to  ward  oil'  ruin,  while,  with  the 
other,  they  built  up  the  holy  city.  See  Nche 
miah  iv :  11. 

We  have,  for  the  last  five  months,  spent  all 
our  time,  night  and  <1  ly,  exhausted  all  our 
means,  and  been  compelled  to  add  our  precari- 
ous incidental  revenues  for  marriages,  beeides  ; 
so  that,  in  an  undertaking  in  which  principle 
and  honor  involved  as,  we  again  arc  a  bleed- 
ing victim  at  the  shrine  of  duty.

The  copy,  as  is  obvioas  from  the  j^oints  and 
the  ac:enU,  is  from  a  manuscript  prepared  for 
private  use.  The  original  seems  to  have  been 
writtCQ  with  a  reed,  as  is  usual  with  the  Obi- 
Dcae.  The  text,  while  it  in  the  punctuation 
»ims  ut  a  grammatical  perfection  in  its  sapply 
with  theda^'a^A,etc.,  which  from  the  almost  uni- 
versal ueglect  of  grammar  by  the  Jewish  rab- 
bles of  thelattor  centuries,  is  almost  unknown 
in  European  editions  (•m.LlIt  \u  lllB  IB«UBB  W 
,4h*-JUaalMd«Hr^mM|t  till  of  late,  the  copy 
before  as  abounds  in  errors,  which  we  can 
scarce  call  typographical  or  orthographical, 
and  which  we  cannot  hut  ascribe  to  the  want 
of  tbe  knowledge  of  tho  llcbrew  language. 


The  names  are  usually  furnished  to  us  ^y  mer- 
chants rnd  acquaintances  in  this  city. 

Those  who  do  not  wish  to  support  our  organ, 
need  be  at  no  further  trouble  than  blotting 
out  their  own  name  and  that  of  their  city,  and 
writing  on  it  "  Editor  of  Gleaner,  San  Fran- 
cisco." If  they  accept  the  papers,  they  are 
fairly  considered  subscribers,  and  need  not  at 
all  be  offended  when  we  send  them  a  very 
polite  note  reminding  them  of  their  dues. 

Wc  never  send  such  papers  except  to  thoic 
who,  by  their  friends,  are  supposed  to  be  glad 
to  pay  a  small  contribution  to  tbe  only  Jewish 
religious  organ  in  a  Statu  where  the  mass  of 
our  people  give  so  little  towards  the  support 
of  religion. 

But  wc  here  must  state  that,  comparatively, 
but  few  copies  are  returned  ;  and  that  there 
seems  to  be  a  general  impression  that  no  Jew, 
claiming  a  portion  in  Israel,  dare  in  this  state 
and  age  of  extravagance,  refuse  to  pay  tbe 
small  tribute  towards  the  organ  that  is  repu- 
ted by  jud;;<e3  to  be  calculated  to  do  much 

good.

the  East  and  West.  It  is  called  Li-pai-sc, 
(place  of  ceremonies  )  This  appellation  is 
common  to  the  mosques  of  the  Mahometans. — 
The  entrance,  after  traversing  two  large  vesti- 
bules, is  through  an  avenue  of  trees,  on  the 
right  and  left  of  which  are  several  buildings, 
which  serve  as  habitations  for  the  officers  and 
chief  of  the  synagogue,  as  well  as  the  halls 
denominated  •  of  the  elders,' '  of  strangers,'  and 
'  of  as8eml:))ie?.'  A  basement  chamber  is  set 
ainrt  for  the  purificatiou  of  the  meat  from 
blood  and  veins.  The  entrance  to  the  vesti- 
bule is  decorated  with  a  triumphal  arch,  on 
which  is  written  in  the  Chinese  language, 
Kimtieu,  (temple  dedicated  to  tbe  Eternal.) 
Before  tho  temple  there  is  a  piece  of  ground, 
on  which  is  erected  a  large  tent  for  tbe  annual 
festival  of  Tabernacles.  The  facade  of  the 
temple  is  adorned  by  a  portico,  formed  of  a 
double  row  of  four  columns.  The  interior  of 
the  synagogue  is  supported  by  a  colonadc. — 
In  the  center  of  the  nave  is  seen,  flrst,  the 
chair,  (called  that  of  Moses.)  surmounted  by  a 
dome.  Here  the  law  is  read ;  the  reader 
wears  a  blue  cap  covered  with  a  cotton  vail, 
and  has  two  assistants  to  correct  him  if  he 
make  a  mistake  in  reading.  Opposite  to  this 
is  the  emperor's  tablet,  having  ou  it  iu  letters 
of  gold  and  in  Chinese  characters,  the  name  of 
the  sovereign,  and  above  it,  the  verse  :  '  Ilear, 
Oh,  Israel !  the  Lord  our  God,  the  Lord  is  one,' 
(Deut.  vi:4 ;)  together  with  another  verse 
which  all  Israelites  add  to  the  preceding,  and 
which  an  old  tradition  ascribes  to  the  patri- 
arch Jacob  :  '  Blessed  be  the  name  of  his  glo. 
rions  kingdom  forever  and  ever.'  Behind  the 
emperor's  tablet  is  a  triple- vaulted  arch  with 
another  inscription,  iu  Hebrew  and  in  letters 
of  gold  :  '  Understand  that  the  Ijord  is  the 
God  of  Gods,  the  Lard,  tho  groat,  mighty,  and 
tremendous  God.'  The  most  remote  part  of 
the  synagogue,  which  is  a  species  of  sanctuary, 
corresponds  in  some  respects  with  the  holy  of 
holies  of  the  ancient  temple  ;  the  Jews  call  it 
in  Hebrew,  Beth  el,  (house  of  ^IM},)  and  in 
Chinese,  Ticn-tang  (temple  of  heaven.)  The 
head  of  th(isyflagoj{ije  alone  has  accesfi  to  it. — 
In  this  .sanctuary  alone  are  deposited  the 
FRfred  books,  which  are  divided  into  several 
classes.  The  book  of  Moses  alone  has  the 
name  of  Ta-King,  (great  writing.)  There  arc 
two  sorts  of  Ta-King— one,  destined  for  the 
iisc  of  the  synagogue,  consists  of  rolls  without 
points,  and  without  any  mark  of  division, 
except  a  space  of  a  line  betwcin  each  of  the 
fifty-three  sections  of  les.JODS,  for  the  Satur- 
days of  the  year.  IV'  other  Ta-Kiug  belong 
to  private  individuals,  who  have  deposited 
them  in  the  Beth-cl,  from  an  objection  to 
keeping  holy  books   iu  their  houses.    These 


King  is  divided  into  as  many  volumes  as  there 
are  lessons  of  Parashoth,  to  be  read  on  cadi 
Sabbath.  The  books  of  private  persons  an 
enclosed  in  cupboards,  placed  in  the  Beth-el, 
while  those  bdonging  to  tbe  synagogue  art 
t  tlaid,  each^TOTttstrtE,  and  covered  with  a  mm] 
curtain.  They  are  thirteen  in  number,  in  all 
sion  to  the  twelve  tribes  and  to  Moses.  Tin  I 
roll  consecrated  to  the  memory  of  this  greji  | 
prophet,  occupies  a  distinguished  place. 

Behind  the  Beth-el,  at  the  extremity  of  the  I 
building,  are  the  two   tables  of  the  law,  co» 
taiuing  the  ten   commandments,  engraved  in 
letters  of  gold. 

Lastly,  there  is  a  tablet  attached  to  one  of  I 
the  columns"  of  the   temple,  which  shows  thf 
order  of  the  lessons  for  each  Saturday,  and  fot 
each  first  day   of  the  month,   (morning  ani 
evening,)  not  only  from  the  Pentateuch,  but 
al.so  from   the  prophets,  which   latter  lei^soos 
arc  designated  much  as   they   are  by  other 
Jews.    Such  is  the  temple  that  the  Israelites  | 
fre(iuent  on  Saturdays,  and  on  the  other  festi- 
vals of  the  year.     They  never  enter  witlioul 
taking  off  their  shoes.    They  occupy  place*  | 
on  the  right  and  left  of  the  chair  of  Moses,  in 
order  to  be  enabled  to  hear  the  reading  of  the  I 
sacred   books.     The  space  between   the  chair  | 
of  Moses  and   the  Beth-el,  is  enclosed  by  rail- 
ings,   which  aie  continued    on    both    sides. 
When  they  pray  they  turn  towards  the  wwt  I 
that  is  towards  Jerusalem,  for  the  same  reason 
that  the  Lsraelites  of  Europe  turn  to  the  east.j

BUKBAFBII  (THE  HOBEB  OF  TRADITION)  TAKEN 
FOR  SINAI.  .DISHROVED  BY  THE  MOST  RECENT 
DISCOVERIES. 


We  hope  that  the  charm  will  not  be  disspel- 
led  from  the  eye  of  our  readers,  when  he  learns 
that  modern  scepticism  and  criticism,  which 
unsparingly  will  allow  nothing  to  stand  on  its 
owh  ground,  unless  it  pay  a  tribute  to  acumen, 
and  is  especially  allowed  to  stand  by  their  au- 
thority, tried  again  to  shake  Mount  Sinai,  and 
to  reject  the  accepted  tradition  that  Gebel 
Monsa  is  the  Sinai  of  scripture,  the  Mountain 
of  the  Lord. 

Tbe  reader  must  understand  that  the  "  Ho- 
reb  "  of  the  bible  is  considered  to  be  the  gen- 
eral name  of  the  whole  groupe  of  mountains, 
and  "  Sinai  "  us  au  appellation  of  the  summit 
to  which  our  travellers   have   conducted  us. — 
Hsreb,  taken  in  the  largest  sense,  is  an  oblong 
mountain,  about  three   miles  in    length,  all 
around  the  base  of  which  sweeps  a  deep,  irreg- 
ular and  narrow  defile,  as  if  the  Almighty  him- 
self had  set  bounds  around   it  as  holy  ground. 
Even  the  mountains  round  about,  which  seem 
thrown  together  in  wild  confusion,  are  cut  off 
from  any  communication  with   the  Mount  of 
God.     At  the  southern   extremity  of  this  ob- 
long edge,  rises  a  summit   in   lofty   and  stern 
grandeur,  to  the  height  of  about  7,500  feet 
above  the  level  of  the  sea  ;  and  this  is  the 
Jebel  Musa,  which  tradition  regards  as  the 
Sinai  of  Scaiptare— the  mount  where  the  law 
was  delivered.    The  only  ground  on  which  its 
claim  to  this  distinction— which  it  seems  enti- 
tled to  by  its  surpassing  grandeur— has  been 
questioned,  is,  that  it  is  not   visible  from  the 
plain  which  has  been  fixed  upon  as  the  camp- 
ing ground  of  the  Israelites.     Most  of  those 
who  have  on  this  ground  questioned  its  claims, 
have  done  so  with  declared  reluctance,  seeing 
how  fully  in  all  other  respects   the  mountain 
corresponds  to  the  ideas  one  previously  forms 
of  the  Mount  (Sucsafeh)  of  God.    But  finding 
no  help,  they  repair  to  the  other  extremity  of 
the  oblong  mount,  and  discover  there  another 
pinnaclfe,  which,  although  lower  than  Jebel 
Mosa,  boldly  confronts  the  plain  of  the  en- 
campment, and  is  vibible  from  all  parts  of  it. 
It  bears  tho  name  of  Suksafeh,  and  is  the 
"  Horeb  "  of  the  traditions  which  gave  to  the 
two  grand  summits   the  distinctive   names  of 
Horeb  and  Sinai.      Though   inferior   to  the 
Bouthem  summit,  it  is  not  wanfing  in  grandeur 
and  magnificence,  and  it  is  of  very  difficult  ac- 
cess, though  some  have  contrived,  with  no  small 
risk,  to  reach  the  summit.     Dr.  Durbin,  who 
went  to  it  directly  from  the  summit  of  Jebel 
Musa,  says : 

"  It  was  three  miles  from  our  position  on 
Gebel  Mousa  to  the  summit  of  Suksafeh  which 
overlooks  the  plain  El-Rahali.      It  took  us 
three  hours,  with  great  fatigue  and  some  dan- 
ger to  reach  it.    No  one  who  has  not  seen 
them  can  conceive  the  ruggedness  of  theftc  vast 
piles  of  granite  rocks,  rent  into  chasms,  round- 
ed into  smooth  summits,  or    splintered  into 
countless  peaks,  all  iu  the  wildest  confusion,  as 
they  appear  to  the  eye  of  an  observer  from  any 
of  the  heights.    But  when  wc  did  arrive  at  the 
summit  cf  El-Suksafeh,  and  cast  our  eyes  over 
the  wide  plain,  we  were  more  than  repaid  for 
all  our  toil.    One  glance  waa  enough.    We 
were  satiefied  that  here,  and   hero  only,  could 
the  wondrous  displays  of  Sinai  have  been  visi- 
ble to  the  assembled  host  of  Israel ;  that  here 
the  lord  spoke  with  Moses  ;  that  here  was  the 
mount  that  trembled  and  smoked   in  presence 
of  its  manifested  Creator !    We  gazed  for  some 
time  in  silence  ;  and  when  we  ppoko,  it  was 
with  a  reverence  that  even  the  most  thought- 
less of  our  company  could  not  shake  off.    1 
read  on  the  very  spot,  with  what  feelings  I 
need  not  say,  the  passage  in  Exodus  which  re- 


late^th'e  wonders  of  which  thiaR^RaiD  was 
the  theatre.  We  felt  its  truth,  and  could  al- 
most see  the  lightnings  and  hear  the  thunders, 
and  the  "  trtftnpet  waxing  loud." 

"  I  bad  stood  upon  the  Alps  in  the  middle 
of  July,  and  looked  abroad  upon  their  snowy 
empire ;  I  had  stood  upon  the  Appennin^s  ahJ 
gazed  upon   the  plains  of  beautiful  lUly  ;  I 
had  stood  upon  the  Albanian  Mount,  and  be- 
held the  scene  of  the  (Eneid  from  the  Circean 
promontory,  over   the   Campagaa,  to  the  eter 
rial  city  and   the  mountains  of  Tivoli;  1  had 
sat  down  upon   the   Pyramids   of  Egypt,  und 
cast  my  eyes  over  the  sacred  city  of  Ileliopo- 
lis,  the  land   of  Goshen,  the  fields  of  Jewish 
bondagd,  and  the  ancient    Memphis,   where 
Moses  and  Aion,  on  the  part  of  God  and  his 
people,  contended  with   Pharaoh  and  his  ser- 
vants, the  death  of  whose  "  firstborn   of  man 
and  beast  iu  one  night  "  filled  tbe  land  with 
wailing  ;  but  I  had  never  set  my   feet  on  any 
spot  from  whence  was  visible   so  much  stern, 
gloomy  grandeur,  heightened   by  the  silence 
and  solitude  that  reign  around,   but  infinitely 
more  by  the  awful  and  sacred  associations  of 
the  first  great  manifestations  in  form  from  God 
I  to  man.     I  felt  oppressed  with  the  spirit  that 
seemed  to  inhabit  the  holy  place.     I  shall  never 
sit  down  upon  the  summft  of  Sinai  again,  aud 
look  upon  the  silent   and  empty  plains  at  its 
feet ;  bnt  I  went  down  from  the  mount  a  bet- 
ter' man,  determineti  so  to  ttv*  **»  U>  oeoapo  Uic 
terrible  thunders  at  the  last  day,  which  once 
reverberated   through    these    mountams,  but 
have  lone  since  given  way  to  the  Gospel   of 
peace.     1  could  scarcely  tear  myself  away  from 
the   hallowed  summit,  aud   wished  that  /  too 
could  linger  her-j  forty  da)  s  in  converse  with

Pui-e  Air  Indispensable  to  Health. 


Inhaling  pure  air  is  one  of  the  most  essen- 
tial conditions  of  good  health.  Without  a 
regular  supply  of  it  iu  our  dwellings,  sleeping- 
rooms,  and  in  any  sphere  where  organized  be- 
ings live,  is  indispensably  requisite  for  the 
changes  which  the  blood  has  to  undergo  in  its 
passage  through  the  lungs  ;  and  which,  if  not 
properly  effected  by  the  combination  of  pure 
air  from  without,  the  whole  system  will  sooner 
or  later  become  vitiated  and  diseases  and 
death  ensue. 

'     The  fatal  effects  of  breathing  vitiated  air 
may  easily  be   made  the  subject   of   experi 
ment.     When   a  mouse  is  confined   in  a  large 
and   tight  glnssjar  full  of  air,  it  seems  for  a 
short  time  to  experience  no  inconvenience ; 
but  in     proportion    as    the    consumption  of 
oxygen  and  the  exhalation  of  carbonic  acid 
proceed,  it  begins  to  shew  symptoms  of  uneasi- 
ness, and  to  pant  in  its  breathing,  as  if  strug- 
gling for  air  ;  and  in  a  few  hours  it  dies,  con- 
vulsed exactly  as  if  drowned  or  strangulated. 
The  same  results  follow  the  deprivation  or 
vitiation  of  air   iu  man  and  in  all   animated- 
beings  ;    and   in   hanging,    death  results  not 
from  dislocation  of  the  neck,  as  is  often  sup- 
posed, but  simply  from  the  interruption  to 
breathing  preventing  the  necessary  changes 
taking  place  in  the  constitution  of  the  blood. 

The  horrible  fate  of  the   one  hundred  and 
forty-six  Englishmen  who  were  shut  up  in  the 
Black  Hole  of  Calcutta,  in  1756,  is  strikingly 
illustrative  of  the  destructive  consequences  of 
au   adequate  supply   of   air.     The   whole  of 
them  were  thrust  into  a  confined  place,  eigh- 
teen feet  square.    There  were  only  two  very 
small  windows  by  which  air  could  be  admit- 
ted, and   both  ot   them  were  on  the  same  side, 
ventilation  was  utterly  impossible.     Scarcely 
was  the  door  shut  upon  the  prisoners,  when 
their  sufferings  commenced,  and   in   a  short 
time  a  delirious  and  aortal  struggle  ensued 
to  get  near  the  windows.    Within  four  hours, 
those  who  survived   lay  in  the  silence  of  apo- 
plectic stupor  ;  and   at   the  end  of  six  hours 
ninety-six  were  relieved  by  death !     In  the 


morning  when  the  door  was  opened,  twenty- 
three  only  foand  alive,  many  of  whom  were 
subsequently  cut  off  by  putrid  fever,  caused 
by  the  dreadful  effluvia  and  corrnption  of 
the  air. 

But,  it  may  be  said,  such  a  catastrophe  as 
tlie  aT)ove  cbuTiI  Tiappen  bnty  among  it  bar^ 
barous    and    ignorant   people.       One    would 
think  so,  and  yet  such   ia  the   ignorance  pre- 
vailing among  ourselves,  that  more  than  one 
parallel  to  it  can  Iw  pointed  out  even  in  our 
own   hitlrtfy.     Of  two   instances  to  which   I 
shall  allude,  one   is  published   in  the  Life  of 
Crabbe,  the  I'oet.     When  ten  or  eleven  years 
of  age,  Crabbe  was  sent  to  a  school  at  Bungay. 
Soon  after  his  arrival  he  had   a  very  narrow 
escape.     He  and  several  of  bis  school-fellows 
were   punished  for  playing  at  soldiers,  by  be- 
ing put  into  a  large  dog-kennel,  known  by  the 
terrible  name  of  the   '  Black  Hole.*— George 
was  the  first  that  entered  ;  and  the  place  being 
crammed  full   of    offenders,  the  atmosphere 
soon   became  pestilentially  close.    The  poor 
boy  in  vain  shrieked  that  he  was  about  to  be 
suffocated.     At  last,   iu  despair,  he  bit  the 
lad  next  to  him  violently  in  the  hand  : 

'  Crabbe  is  dying— Crabbe  h  dying,'  roared 
one  of  the  sufferers,  and  the  sentinel  at  length 
opened  the  door,  and  allowed  the  boys  to  rush 
out  into  the  air.  His  father  said,  a  minute 
more  and  he  must  have  died. 

The  other  inatance  ia  rworded  in  Waljsole's 
Letters,  and  is  the  more  memorable,  becansc 
it  was  the  result  of  brutal  ignorance,  and  not 
at  all  of  cruelty  or  design  : 

'  There  has  been,  lately,'  says  Walpole, '  the 
most  shocking  scene  of  murder  imaginable  ;  a 
parcel  of  drunken  constables  took  it  into  their 
heads  to  put  the  laws  in  execution   against 
disorderly  persons,  and  so  took  up  every  per- 
son  they  met,  till   they  ha*l  collected  five  or 
six  and  twenty,  all  of  whom  they  thrust  into 
St.   Martin's  round-house,   where  they  kept 
them  all  night  with  doors  and  windows  closed. 
The   poor  creatures,   who   could  not  stir  or 
breathe,  screamed  as.  long  as  they  had  any 
breath  left,  begging  at  least  for  water ;  one 
poor  wretch  said  she    was    worth    eighteen 
pence,  and  would  gladly  give  it  for  a  draught 
of  water,  but  iu  vain!     So  well  did  they  keep 
them  there  that  in  the  morning,  four  were  found 
stifled   to  death  ;  two  died   scon  after,  and  a 
dozen  more  are  in  a  shocking  way.     In  short, 
it  is  horrid   to  think  what  the  poor  creatures 
suffered  ;  several  of  them  were  beggars,  who 
from  having  no  lodging,  were  necessarily  found 
on  the  street,  and  others  honest  laboring  wo- 
men.   On?  of  the  dead  was  a  poor  washer- 
woman, big   with  child,  who  was   returning 
home  from  washing.' 

These  tremendous  examples  ought  not  to  be 
lost  upon  us.  If  the  results  arising  from  the 
vitiation  of  the  air  to  an  extreme  degree  be  so 
apalling,  we  may  rest  assnrred  that  those  aris- 
ing from  every  minor  degree,  although  they 
may  be  less  obvioas,  ar?  not  less  certain  in 
their  operation. 

The    best  and   most   exjwrienced    medical 
officers  of  the  army  and  navy,  are  always  the 
most  earnest  in  insisting  on  thorough  ventila- 
lation  as  a  chief  preservative  of  health,  and.  as 
indispensable  for  the  recovery  of  tbe  sick,  and 
yet  it  is  astonishing  how  often  we  find  sick 
rooms  where,  as  it  would  seem,  all  admission 
of  free  air  is  purposely  excluded,  and  the  pa- 
tient left  to  incur  the  risk  of  high  fevers  and 
protraete*!  disease,  which  the  admission  of  free 
air  would  have  totally  carried  off.    So  could 
numerous  casea  of  nervous  disorders,  dyspepsia 
and  pulmonary  consumption  have  been  pre- 
vented ;  and  after   their  occurrence  considera- 
bly relieved  by  the  inhalation  of  pure  air. 

One  of  the  principal  causes  of  the  frightful 
mortality  among  children  with  nations  who 
call  themselves  civilized,  is  the  ignorance  of 
parents  as  to  the  treatment  infancy  requires  ; 
and  tbe  want  of  proper  ventilation  is  one 
of  the  most  pioinioent  causes  of  infantile 
aifcctions.

"  Neither  does  the  man  who  fights  a

is  only  at  war  with  an  other  man.  Dress

and  let  them  fight  duels,  and  it  would  be 
war,  just  as  much  as  when  Fredric,  or 
Charles,  or  Buonaparte  le<l  their  armies 
to  battle.  A  little  war  and  a  big  war 
isjast  the  same,  only    differing  in  their 

extent." 

••  Oh,  James  1  You  don't  care  much 
for  your  country,  or  you  would  not  talk 

so!" 

"  Yes,  I  dol  It  may  bo  a  very  fine 
thing  to  talk  about  victories  aud  our  coun- 
try, and  erery-thing;  but  if  you  would 
stop  to  think  of  the  boys  and  girls  like  us 
and  Mary,  who  are  left  without  fathers 
friends,  or  homes;  and  if  you  could  see 
the  armies  who  go  to  battle,  whcu  they 
come  buck,  you  would  think  war  some- 
thing worse  than  you  do  nowl  If  you 
could  look  at  the  field  where  that  battle 
was  fought,. and  see  men  lying  there  all 
torn  to  picceB,  and  then  go  to  the  hospital 
and  see  the  soldierr,  who  had  no  arms, 
and  no  legs,  or  with  their  faces  sacrred, 
or  their  eyes  put  out,  and  then  see  the 
crowds  of  women  aud  children  who  were 
robbed  of  their  fathers  by  that  battle, 
you  would  not  be  in  such  good  humour 
with  the  war!  1  know  you  would  go  to 
the  President,  and  try  to  get  him  to  itop 
it  right  away!" 

"  Whatl    all  of  them  killed  in  one  bat- 
tle 1" 

"  Yes,  and  that  was  only  a  small  one. 
Why,  if  you  read  of  some  of  the  great 
battles,  you  will  see  that  sometimes  the 
ground  for  miles  was  full  of  dead  men,  go 
that  the  horses  could  not  walk  without 
treading  on  some  one.  And  then  those 
who  arc  not  dead  were  in  such  pain  that 
they  sometimes  wanted  to  be  shot,  to  be 
freed  from  their  misery.  Would'nt  you 
like  to  be  a  soldier  too?" 

"  Not  much,  James,  if  that  is  the  way!" 
"  Well,  when  I  think  of  those  men  who 
went  out  to  kill  «ach  other,  and  lie  there 
in  heaps;  and  when  I  think  of  the  mothers 
and  children  who  are  left  alone  in  the 
world,  1  guess  war  is  a  wicked  thing, 
—just  as  wicked  as  for  one  man  to  kill  an- 
other in  the  street.  ** 

"  Well,  wars  do  good  sometimes,  at 

any  ra^." 

♦"  Sometimes  they  do  good,  as  we  hope 
that  of  "16  has  done.    I  heard  father  say 


to  Mr.  Shortsight  tfcat  in  judging  of 
events  we  must  always  look  not  only  to 
the  present  but  also  to  the  future,  and 
said  he  ''H/vV^o  norkiTo^  ITTat  Wr  p6^ 
tical  liberty  has,  on  the  whole  made  us 
better  men.  The  spirit  of  revolution,  of 
opposition  to  the  will  of  our  political 
rulers,  the  opposition  to  unjust  authori- 
ties, has  found  its  way  into  our  other  in- 
stitutions and  even  into  our  families. — 
But  as  children  cannot  genarally  correct 
themselves  it  is  our  duty  to  do  so,  aud  to 
prevent  them  from  following  those  paths 
of  disobedience  which  arc  now  so  generally 
tread  by  the  young.'  And  if  the  men  who 
make  wars  were  sent  to  take  part  in  them 
there  would  be  less  than  there  arc.  The  few 
wars  that  may  have  done  good  are  no 
excuse  for  the  wicked  wars  which  take 
place." 

"  Well,  I  guess  you  are  right,  James! 
But  I  was  glad  of  the  war,  because  our 
country  will  get  the  victory." 

"  William!  if  she  docs  gain,  I  don't  see 
that  we  need  to  rejoice  much,  for  the  vic- 
tory will  be  bought  at  so  high  a  price, 
that  it  might  he  better  let  alone!  I 
think  that  the  pride  and  honour  of  doing 
right,  and  not  doing  wrong,  is  worth  all 
the  victories  that  soldiers  ever  gained. — 
If  you  only  knew  what  you  have  a  chance 
to  learn,  you  would  not  kuow  that  men 
and  nations  may  often  gain  greater  victo- 
ries and  greater  honours  by  doing  right 
than  by  all  the  killing  and  revenge,  and 
and  wars  in  the  world." 

"  You  are  a  strong  ppace  man,  JamesT 
"  So  I  am,  William!  And  so  are  y<», 
but  you  have  got  your  head  filled  with 
high  notion.s  of  soldiers,  and  battles,  and 
victories.  I  am  a  peace  man,  and  hope 
I  shall  always  be;  and  I  think  our  coun- 
try would  gain  greater  victories  in  peace 
than  iu  war." 

"  Well,  James!  1  believe  you  are  on 
the  best  side,  for  I  recollect  now  how 
unhappy  I  feel  when  I  have  any  quarrels 
with  anybody;  and  when  boys  tight,  it  is 
only  a  little  war.  Let  ns  try  to^et  every 
boy  to  think  as  we  do,  and  when  they  get 
to  be  men,  perhaps  there  will  not  be  any 


more  wars. 


BIOGRAPHY. 


Bachel. 

(Continued  from  p.  US.) 
A  cruel  device  gave  him  Leah  instead  of  Ra- 
chel, and  without  m«rrauring,  to  attain  the  ob- 
ject of  hia  heart's  strong  desire,  he  agreed  to 
serve  with  him  yet  other  seven  years,  "  for  he 
loved  Rachel  more  than  Leah."    Moses  tells 
as  that  Rachel  "  was  beautiful  and  well  favor- 
ed."   We  cannot,  however,  suppose  that  it 
was  mere  beauty  of  person  that  gained  ascen- 
dency over  the  bod  of  Isaac  ;  but  a  "  well-fa- 
voured" disposition,  a  gentleness  of  spirit,  a 
uniform  propriety  of  demeanor.    He  looked  to 
her  as  the  only  one  who  could  lighten  the  bur- 
dees  and  share  the  plewures  of  kis  life.    To 
obtain  her,  no  sacrifice  of  ease  or 'comfort  was 
too  great,  and  the  hope  of  this  union   cheered 
him   amidst  the  years  of  a  weary  exile.    He 
would  often  teel  the  injustice  of  Laban's  op- 
prosiiooB  and  the  chaffings  of  his  despotic  and 
unrighteous  course — but  the  soft  words,  the 
kind  looki,  the  love-kindled  smiles  o?  his  be- 
loTe<l  Rachel,  made  the  yoke  easy  and  the  bar 
den  light.    At  length,  after  long  yearajof  wait- 
ing, under  the  allowed  Polygamy  oril»oi)o 
tamia,  Rachel  became  his  own.    14^  j^'"] 
never  loved.    The  stratagem  by  whieilCPfe  had 
become  his  wife  was  such  an  oatrage  tjpnn  na- 
ture, aud  so  conspicuous  was  the  part  she  had 


taken  in  the  treschery,  that  little  could  be  ex- 
pected beyond  slight  and  neglect. 

It  was  widely  different  with  the  younger 
sister ;  nay,  it  is  more  than  probable  be  loved 
her  too  macb.  and  tbat  thi"  in^rdip^P'  ftff>'C- 
tion  was  one  of  the  causes  of  the  subsequent 
trials  that  came  upon  him.  No  sooner  did 
Rdchel  give  promise  of  becoming  a  joyful  moth- 
er, than  Jacob  began  to  revolve  in  his  mind  a 
return  to  bis  fath( rs  liouse,  aud  his  own  '.ami. 
Tiiere  the  religion  of  the  Patrinrcbs  was  bolter 
understood,  and  the  advantages  were  much 
greater  for  t'  e  training  of  a  godly  seed'  The 
birth  of  Joseph  gave  unmingled  joy,  and  when 
the  promise  of  another  branch  to  the  parent 
at<ick  was  granted,  he  n  solved  to  recross  ihc 
wilderness  he  had  traveled  twenty } ears  before, 
and  eeek  among  bis  own  immtdial  kindred  the 
security  nnd  comfort  he  had  never  found  iu  the 
house  of  Labao. 

What  a  change  of  circumstances  had  these 
twenty  years  produced!  When  be  left  bis 
father's  bouse,  he  was  without  any  substance. 
This  he  cannot  forget,  hence  we  hear  him  sny, 
"  With  my  staff  I  passed  over  this  Jordan,  and 
now  I  am  become  two  bands."  He  returns 
rich  in  flocks  and  herds,  with  his  two  wives, 
children,  and  servants.  Well  might  he  Fay, 
•'  O  God  of  my  lather  Abraham,  0  God  of  my 
father  Isaac,  I  am  not  worthy  of  the  least  of 
all  the  mercies,  and  of  all  the  truth,  which  thou 
hast  .showed  unto  thy  servant." 

Full  of  hope,  he  commcneed  aud  prosecuted 
by  slow  stages  his  difficult  journey.  Praytr, 
praise,  and  sacrifice  marked  its  successive  halt- 
ing places,  while  the  visions  of  the  Almighty 
were  mercifuHy  granted,  assttrittg  hita  of  th« 
reconciliation  of  his  brother,  aud  his  family 
interest  in  the  covenant  of  promise.  The  del- 
icate condition  of  Rachel  made  it  requisite 
that  all  unnecessary  fatigue  should  be  avoided, 
and  whatever  could  minister  to  her  comfort  be 
afforded.  For  this  Jacob  was  well  prepared— 
for  he  had  been  long  accnstonaed  to  "  gather 
lambs  with  his  arms  and  carry  them  in  his 
bosom,  and  gently  lead  to  them  that  were  with 
young." 

It  requires  no  stretch  of  the  imgioation 
to  picture  the  bright  hopes  which  spread  their 
golden  wings  before  the  happy  pair  as  they 
conversed  about  their  new  settlement,  and  the 
various  plans  connected  with  their  future  life. 
The  mother  hoped  to  have  two  l.-vely  children 
to  present  to  their  grand-parent  in  the  Grove 
of  Beersheba,  and  receive  upon  her  own  head 
the  pairiarchcal  blessing.  Alas!  how  vain 
are  all  things  here !  How  soon,  how  suddenly 
may  the  brightest  sky  bo  covered  with  clouds- 
and  the  fairest  prospects  blasted  with  disap, 
pointment.  Rachel  is  never  to  see  the  birth- 
place of  her  beloved  Jacob,  never  to  receive 
the  kiss  of  peace  from  the  aged  Isaac,  never  to 
repose  in  the  sweet  elynnm  of  Mamre.  The 
hour  of  nature's  sorrow  overtook  her  a  little 
way  {ram  Ephra-h,  in  the  mountains  of  Rama. 
The  encouraging  words  of  the  midwife  who 
said  unto  her,  "  Fear  not,"  were  insufiBcient 
toraiW  her  exhausted  strength;  in  vain  did 
they  lay  to  her  "  thou  slial'  have  this  son  also," 
for  she  yiislded  up  her  own  life  in  giving  birth 
to  him.  When  her  soul  was  departing  she 
called  his  name  Benoni,  and  in  that  effort  her 
spirit  passed  away. 

•'  And  Rachel  died  and  was  buried  in  the 
way  to  Ephrath,  which  is  Bethlehem.  And 
Jacob  set  a  pillar  (monument)  upon  her  grave  ; 
that  is  the  pillar  of  Rachel's  grave  unto  this 
day." 

We  have  no  words  to  describe  the  anguish 
of  Jacob's  heart,  when,  with  trembling  hand 
and  weeping  eyes,  he  reared  the  monumental 
pillar  over  Rachel's  grave.  It  commemorated 
an  event  that  crushed  a  thousand  hopes,  and 
made  him  feel  more  than  ever  that  here  we 
have  no  continuing  city.  The  pledges  of  affec- 
tion which  she  left  behind  were  endeared  to 
him  by  the  strongest  ties— they  were  the  com 
fort  of  his  age.  and  the  support  of  the  weary 
pilgrim  to  his  last  hour.

InWaterton's  Essay,  a  remarkable  state- 
ment of  a  nut,  deposited  for  winter  store  hy 
tome  animal  under  a  millstone,  which  lay  in 
a  field,  springing  up  through  the  central 
aperture.  Mr.  Waterton  then  goes  on  to  say^ 
"  In  order,  however  that  the  plant  might  have 
a  fair  chance  of  success,  I  directed  that  it 
should  be  defended  by  means  of  a  wooden 
paling.  Year  after  year  it  increased  in  size 
and  beauty,  and  when  its  expansion  entierly 
filled  the  hole  in  the  centre  of  the  millstotie,  it 
gradually  began  to  raise  the  milletone  itself 
from  the  seat  of  its  long  repose.  The  huge 
mass  ofatone  is  now  eighteen  inches  from  the 
ground,  and  is  entierly  supported  by  the  stem 
of  a  nut  tree,  which  has  risen  to  the  height  of 
twenty-6ve  feet,and  bears  excellent  fruit.— F/a-

THE  CHAIR  or  M08I8— HOUSB  OP  AARON— MOUU) 
FQB  THE  GOLDEN  CALF— BURYING  GROUND  OF 
THE  ISRAELITES- JEWS  VISIT  TO  SINAI— A 
GARDEN. 

We  have  now  been  able  te  show  that  ancient 
tradition  is,  after  all,  not  so  irreliable  as  mod- 
ern criticism  wishes  to  represent  it ,  and  that 
a  thorough  investigation  may  provs  many  a 
report,  or  event  possible,  which  a  superficial 
supercilious  age  of  reason,  the  ominous  "  dor 
dtah"  (the  knowing  generation)  of  the  prophet 
Daniel  rejects  as  untrue. 

But  suppoaing  there  had  not  been  snflBcient 
space  round  the  Jtbel  Mouta  for  the  whole 
host  of  Israel  to  sUnd,  this  hci  could  not  af- 
ter all  subvert  the  testimony  of  tradition,  with 
those  who  are  conversant  with  the  idiom  of  the 
language  of  scripture,  which  merely  states  that 
the  people  were  placed  round  the  moont,  and 


saw  the  smoke  rising:  It  is  to  be  presumed  that 
they  occupied  not  only  the  base  of  the  mount, 
but  the  wadies  round  it;  that  the  camp  con- 
taining a  caravan  of  about  2,900,000  of  human 
beings,    besides  cattle,  did  spread  over  the 
whole  range  of  the  group  of  Horeb.    The  idea 
of  a  conventation  of  the  whole  multitude  does 
not  necessarily  imply  a  dense  crowding,  exclu- 
sively round  the  mount;  though  it  certainly 
states  that  numbers  stood  immediately  at  the 
base— and  even  in  the  narrow  wadies  round 
Jebel  Mousa,  is  plenty  room  for  "the  thousands 
of  Israel,"  and  tney  with  the  rest  who  spread 
all  orer  the  region,  are  in  biblical  language 
correctly  called  the  whole  people. 

But  let  us  return  to  our  subject:  The  | 
descent  from  Jebel  Mousa  is  tolerably  ea- 
■y,  and  takeft  about  two  boors  to  the  convent. 
On  the  sand  hills  southeast  of  Jebel  Mousa, 
tradition  places  the  battle  field  ofJAmalek; 
the  monks  show  the  stone,  where,  according  to 
tradition,  Moses  sat  when  Aaron  and  Hor  held 


up  their  hands,  but  it  was  all  in  Taia.  They 
have  placed  nearly  all  the  wonders  that  occur- 
-mi  ttt  the  wanderiiigB  of  Israel  aboat  this 
mountain — even  the  elevation  of  the  brazen 
serpent,  which  took  place  near  Kadesh,  not  far 
from  the  borders  of  Canaan. 

After  a  description  of  Sinai  and  Suksapah, 
we  will  now  take  a  walk  round  the  groups  of 
iaai,  and  point  out  seme  of  the  remarkable 
places,  and  though  they  may  be  considered  in 
P^rt  to  be^rather  legendary,  the  reader  will  not 
regret  the  perusal  of  them. 

In  the  Wady  of  Rahar(broad  valley)'in'The 
defile  leading  to  the  convent,  on  the  left,  is 
shown  a  large  isulated  stone,  rudely  resembling 
a  chafV,  called  the  chair*"of  Moses,  on  which 
tradition  says  that  Moses  rested  himself  when 
he  camejip  with  the  people  of  his  charge. 
Farther  on,  upon  a  little  eminence,  are  some 
rude  stones,  which  are  pointed  out  as  the  ruins 
of  the  house  of  Aaron,  where  the  great  high 
priest  discoursed  to  the  wondering  Israelites. 
On  the  right  is  a  stone,  alleged  to  be  the  petri- 
fied Golden  Calf. 

And  again  passing  the  ruins  of  the  house  of 
Aaron,  and  the  spot  from  which  he  preached  to 
the  assembled  people,  we  came  to  a  long  flat 
stone,  with  a  few  holes  indented  in  its  surface, 
which  is  pointed  out  as  that  on  which  Moees 
threw  down  and  broke  thT  tablets  of  the  law 
when  he  descended  from  the  mountain  and 
found  the  Israelites  worshipping  the  mlden 
calf.  About  half  an  hour  farther  00,  albther 
stone  holier  than  this  is  pointed  ont— it  is  the 
mould  in  which  the  golden  calf  is  reported  to 
have  been  run. 

"  The  Superior"  of  the  convent,  (who  aooom- 
panied  the  traveler,)  says  the  author  of  Inci- 
dents of  Trarel,  pointed  out  to  me  the  prints  of 
the  head,  ears  and  horns,  clear  even  to  the  eyes 
of  a  man  of  sixty  ;  and  told  me  the  story  of  the 
golden  calf,  somewhat  differently  from  the  Bi- 
ble account.      He  said  that  the  people,  want- 
ing another  God,  came  up  with  one  accord, 
and  threw  their  golden  ornaments  upon  that 
stone,  and  agreed  by  acclamation  that  when  it 
was    melted    they    would   worship  whatever       | 
should  come  ont ;  three  times  it  came  out  the 
head  of  a  calf,  and  then  they  fell  down  and  wor- 
shipped it* 

Some  distance  farther  on  we  passed  to  our 
right  a  Hebrew  burying  ground;  "  The  burial

BIOCIRAPUT. 


The  following  ikalch  of  thi«  eilraordlnwy  and  ill-flited 
youth.  i(  extracted  ttom  wa  •ccouiit  given  of  hjm  by  *•- 
Mini  Vou  Fsuerbach,  President  of  one  of  the  Bararian 

TOUtta  ^aivol-traMlModfej^  H  Q.  Linherg, 

(OoHTiNcmD  raoM  P.  IM-J 
This  history  of  the  myaterioos  imprisonment 
and  exposure  of  this  ill-fated  youth,  presenta 
not  only  a  fearful,  but  a  most  singular  and  ob- 
scure, enigma  j — an  enigma  which  may,  indeed, 
give  rise  to  innumerable  questions  and  coajec- 
tarea,  bat  upon  which  no  light  has  as  yet  bet-n 
alied,  that  it  likely  to  lead  to  its  solution.  Cas- 
par's mental  condition  during  his  dungeon  lile, 
must  have  been  that  of  a  human  being  shut  up 
in  his  infancy,  with  his  senses  and  bis  intellect 
immersed  in  a  profound  s'eep,  in  which  pitia- 
ble condition  he  was  compelled  to  drag  out, 
at  least,  sixteen  long  years  of  the  bloom  and 
spring-tide  of  life,  without  being  conscious  of 
even  a  dream.  From  the  stupor  of  this  more 
tiian  half  non-existent  state,  he  at  length  woke 
to  be  stunned,  and  pained,  and  petrified,  and 
amazed  with  the  din,  and  clamor,  and  unintel 
ligible  impressions  of  a  variegated  world.  This 
appearance  of  [one  of  our  fellow  beings,  who 
bud  atuined  the  physical  powers  and  propor- 
tions of  manhood,  without  ever  having  learned 
the  use  of  one  of  his  senses,  or  without  ever 
having  one  ray  of  knowledge  enter  his  benight- 
ed and  infantile  soul,  presents  one  of  the  mt»t 
unique  and  wonderful,  and  inteieating,  and  in- 
structive anomalies  which  the  world  has  ever 
beheld,  and  may  justly  be  regarded  as  a  new 
page  in  the  history  of  the  human  species. 

What  other  crimes  besides  those  of  illegal 
imprisonment,  privation  and  exposure,  may 
lie  concealed  behind  the  iniquity  committed 
against  Caspar,  as  well  as  the  ends  which  h'S 
secret  incarceration  was  intended  to  subserve, 
we  must  leave  with  the  future  to  reveal. 

Of  Caspar's  extraordinary  powers  of  memo- 
ry, and  his  no  lexs  wonderful  ability  to  direct 
his  attention  to  one  object  at  a  time,  singly 
and  nndividedly,  (an  ability  to  gain  whioh,  all 
the  efforts  of  the  greatest  philosophers  have 
hitherto  proved  unavailing,)  the  following  ig 
an  instance  given  by  the  Hon.  Von  Fuerbach. 
On  entering  Caspar's  apartment  in  the  Lu- 
ginsland,  at  the  Vestner  gate,  accompanied  by 
Col.  Von  D.  and  two  ladies,  he  showed  nothing 
like  shyness  or  timidity,  but  met  us  with  confi- 
dence, and  seemed  to  rejoice  at  our  visit.     The 
first  thing  that  attracted  his  attention,  was  the 
Colonel.s  bright  uniform  ;  and  particularly  his 
helmet,  which,  glittered  with  gold,  he  eould  not 
cease  to  admire.    After  that,  his  attention  was 
drawn  te  the  colored  dresses  of  the  ladies  ;  but 
as  for  myself,  being  dressed  in  a  plain,  black 
frock  coat,  I  was  for  some  time  scarcely  hon- 
ored with  a  sin^e  glance.    Each  of  us,  in  turn, 
placwPbimself  separately  before  him,  and  men- 
tioned his  name  and  title.    Whenever  any  one 
was  thus  introduced,  Caspar  went  up  very 
close  to  him,  regarded  him  with  a  sharp  and 
somewhat  staring  loek,  noticed,  suoceasively 
and  singly,  every  part  of  his  face,  as  his  fore_ 
bead,  his  eyes,  nose,  mouth,  chin,  and  so  forth, 
wit)>  »  penetrating,  rapid  glance;  and,  aa  I 
could  distinctly  perceive,  at  last  combined  all 
the  different  portions  of  the  countenance,  which 
be  had    collected,  piece  by  piece,  into  one 
whole.    He  then  repeated  the  name  of  the  per- 
son as  it  had  been  pronounced  to  him  ;  and 
now  he  knew  him  ;   and,  as  after  experience 
proved,  he  knew  him  forever. 

In  noticing  any  one  of  the  numerous  things, 
whether  small  or  great,  which  were  in  his  pos- 
Mssion,  he  was  able  to  mention  both  the  name 
and  title  of  the  person  who  had  bestowed  it. 
Aboot  an  hour  after  wo  had  loft  him,  we  met 
him  on  the  street ;  and,  on  demanding  whether 
he  could  recollect  our  namee,  without  the 
ICMt  hesitation,  he  repeated  the  fall  name 
of  every  one  of  the  company,  together  with  hii 
title,  which,  BCTerthelesa,  must  have  appeared 
16  him  •§  nnlntelHgible  jargon.  Ob  many  oo- 
ca«looB,  itill  more  striking  example*   of  his 


qaiek  and  wonderftiHy  tenaeiooa  niemory  were 
displayed.     Casper  averted  his  eyee  as  laoeh 

possible  (W>m  the  light,  their  sensibility  be- 
ing BOch  as  not  to  bear  it ;  for  it  most  be 
borne  fft  mind,  that  in  his  dungeon,  a  ray  of 
light  had  never  visited  them. 

^  T^^SFd  to  colors,  he  evinoed  a  otrangc  pre- 
dilection  for  daring  red,— blue,  green,  and  pa- 
ler hues,  being  held  by  him  at  a  comparative 
low  estimate.  If  the  choice  had  been  given 
him,  he  would  have  clothed  himself,  and  all  for 
whom  he  had  a  regard,  in  scarlet  or  purple- 
When  a  tree  full  of  red  apples  was  shown  him, 
he  expressed  much  satisfaction  at  the  sight, 
but  thought  it  would  have  been  far  more  beau- 
tiful had  its  leaves  also  been  as  red  as  ita  frut. 
There  was  but  one  advantage  more,  which,  in 
bis  eye,  his  favorite  animals,  horses  might  have 
pofisessed.  It  was  that,  instead  of  being  black, 
bay,  or  white,  their  colour  should  have  invari- 
ably been  scarlet. 

The  curiosity  and  thirst  for  knowledge  which 
he  evinced,  together  with  the  inflexible  perse- 
verance with  which  he  fixed  his  attention  to 
any  thing  he  was  determined  to  learn  or  com- 
prehend, surpasses  every  thing  that  can  be  con- 
ceived of  them  ;  and  the  manner  in  wich  they 
were  expressed,  was  truly  aff'ecting.  Having 
no  longer  any  relish  for  his  playthings,  his 
hours  throughout  the  day,  were  employed  in 
writing,  drawing,  and  other  instructive  exer- 
ei««»  witb  which  proftaaor  Panmer  engaged 
him.  Bitterly  did  he  complain  to  us,  that  the 
great  number  of  visitors  who  thronged  his 
apartment,  left  him  no  time  to  learn  anything. 
It  was  very  affecting  to  hear  his  often  repeat, 
ed  lamentation,  that  the  people  in  the  world 
knew  so  much,  and  that  there  were  so  many 
things  which  he  had  not  yet  learned. 

On  account  of  the  unpleasant  and  painful 
sensations  which  were  produced  by  the  many 
new  impressions  upon  his  faculties,  to  which 
he  was  totally  unaccustomed — impressions 
which  caused  him  excessive  suffering,  he  ap- 
peared by  no  means  satisfied  with  living  in  the 
world,  but  longed  to  go  back  again  to  "  the 
man  with  whom  he  had  always  been,"  and  re- 
gain tha  rest  and  quietude  he  had  enjoyed  "at 

home  in  the  hole." 

Notwithstanding  Caspar  yielded  to  those 
who  had  acquired  parental  authority  over  him, 
unconditional  obedience,  yet,  before  he  would 
acknowledge  any  thing  to  be  certain  or  true, 
it  was  necessary  that  he  should  be  thoroughly 
con  the  testimony  of  his  sen- 

ses, by  intuition,  or  by  some  process  of  reason- 
ing completely  adapted  to  his  powers  of  com- 
prehension, and  the  scanty  requirements  of  hu 
almost  vacant  mind— an  instructive  lesson  to 
such  as  are  apt  to  take  things  for  granted 
without  a  proper  examination  of  the  evidence 
upon  which  their  truth  or  fahsity  rests.  When- 
ever it  was  impossible  to  reach  his  understand- 
ing, through  any  of  these  channels,  he  would 
not,  indeed,  contradict  the  assertion  made,  but 
leave  the  matter  undecided,  until,  as  he  would 
remark,  he  had  learned  more. 

When  the  first  snow  fell  in  the  succeedmg 
winter,  on  looking  out  in  the  morning,  he  ex- 
pressed great  joy  that  the  streets,  the  roofs, 
and  the  trees,  bad  been  so  well  painted,  and 
went  quickly  down  into  the  yard  to  fetch  some 
of  the  white  paint;  but  he  soon  ran  back  to 
his  preceptor,  with  alibis  fingers  stretched  out, 
crying,  blubbering,  and  bawling  out "  that  the 
white  paint  had  bitten  bis  hand."

San  Francisco,  10th  Nov.  1866. 
I  here  publicly  sUte  that  I  was  afflicted  for 
many  months  with  severe   bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.    I 
consulted  several  eminent   physicians  in  this 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.     I   lost  all  my 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.    My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  mo  on   to   New 
York  to  try  a  cure,    in  this  perplexity,  I  called 
on  Dr.  Bruns,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.    I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  me  to  Dr.  Bruns, 
under  whose  care  I  became  healthy  and  strong. 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  publicly  to  make 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  suflferera  know  that 
Dr.   Bruns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health.

Tears. 


Tbkre  is  a  tear  that  spots  the  cheek, 

a     -  J .^— Iwj.    w^^r^^art    ♦■**>"     tKn    ' 

In  words  without  a  name. 
That  tells  of  many  a  pang  within 
Of  many  a  foul  and  deadly  sin — 
•  It  is  the  tear  of  shame. 
There  is  a  tear  that  through  the  seal 
Causes  compassion's  tear  to  roll 
In  full  but  placid  flow. 
That  shows  the  holy  maxim  true 
How  man  is  born  his  guilt  to  rue — 
It  is  the  tear  of  woe. 

There  is  a  tear  whose  mute  appeals 
Tell  all  the  conscious  bosom  feels, 
With  thrilling  eloquence. 
That  wrings  the  sympathetic  sigh 
Where  ne'er  a  drop  had  dimm'd  the  eye — 
The  tear  of  penitence. 

There  is  a  tear  that  trickles  still 

Announcing  all  the  worst  of  ill, 

Too  bitter  for  relief. 

That  when  by  some  dire  mis'ry  curst. 

Swells  the  stretch 'd  heart-strings  till  they  burst; 

It  is  the  tear  of  grief. 

There  is  a  tear  that  dims  the  eye, 
When  answer'd  by  the  stilted  stgh,- 
That  speaks  of  woe  within. 
Ploughing  a  channel  down  the  face 
As  if  were  there  its  resting  place — 
It  is  the  tear  of  sin. 


There  is  tear  that  fiercely  starts. 
And  to  the  haughty  eye  imparts 
A  glance,  by  guilt  supplied. 
That  falls  not  o'er  the  moisten'd  lid- 
To  flow  by  fierce  disdain  forbid — 
It  is  the  tear  of  pride. 

But  there's  a  tear  that  gently  flows. 
And,  like  the  dew-drop  on  the  rose, 
Refreshes  all  things  near — 
In  which  the  sky  of  purest  blue 
Reflects  its  own  celestial  hue — 
It  is  religion's  tear. 

Rev.  H.  Gaunter- 

The  Gviilty  Conscience. 

When  Cain  dwelt  in  the  land  of  Nod,  be- 
yond Eden  to  the  east,  he  sat  one  day  beneath 
a  plantain  tree,  and  leaned  bis  head  on  his 
hands,  and  sighed.  And  his  wile  went  forth 
to  seek  him,  carrying  the  infant  Enoch  in  her 
arms.  When  she  had  found  him,  she  stood  be- 
side him  under  the  plantain  tree,  and  heard  the 
■ighs  of  Gain. 

Then  said  she  to  him:  "  (Jain,  why  sighest 
thou  ?  Wilt  thoa  never  cease  thy  wailing  ?" 
And  Gain  started,  lifted  up  bis  head,  and  said: 
"  Ha !  is  it  thou,  Zillah?— Behold,  my  sin  is  too 
great  to  be  forgiven !"  And  when  he  bad  thus 
spoken,  be  again  bowed  his  bead,  and  covered 
his  face  with  his  hands. 

"Ah,  Cain  "said  his  wife,  with  soothing 
voice,  "(he  Lord  is  merciful  and  abounding  in 
goodness." 

When  Cain  heard  thfse  words,  he  again 
started,  and  said:  "What!  must  thy  tongue, 
too,  be  a  thorn  to  pierce  me  to  the  heart?"— 
3ut  the  replied:  "  Far  be  that  from  me !  but 
listen,  Cain,  and  look  around  thee.  Ars  not 
our  fields  thriving,  and  have  we  not  already 
twice  reaped  prolific  crops  ?  Is  not  the  Lord 
bountiful  to  us,  and  doth  he  not  deal  gracious- 
I      I7  with  us  ?" 

I  "  Yes,  Zillah,"  answered  Cain,  "  to  thee  and 
to  thy  Enoch,  but  not  to  me !  In  his  bounty  I 
discover  only  how  far  I  was  from  him  when  I 

•lew  Abel." 

Zillab  then  interrnpted'him,  and  said:  "Dost 

thou  not  then  cultivate  the  earth,  Cain,  and 

•trewett  not  thou  th«  seed  in  the  furrows? 

Doth  not  the  sun  rise  upon  thee  as  in  Eden, 

and  the  dew  glisten  for  the  on  the  flowers  and 

the  sprays?" 


«  Ah,  Znish,  my  poor  wife," replied  Oain, "  I 
see  only  in  the  radiance  of  the  dawn  the  bleed- 
ing head  of  Abel,  and  the  dew  appears  to  me 
on  each  spray  as  a  tear,  and  on  each  flower  as 
a  drop  of  blood.  Hath  not  the  rippling  brook 
A  voice  which  mourns  for  Abel,  and  is  it  not 
tEfiT>reani  thai  m'^Ts  me  in  the  cooling  biee^? 
More  terrific  than  the  word  of  wrath  which 
spake  to  me  in  thunder,  and  asked:  Where  is 
thy  brother  Abel  ?  is  to  me  the  still  small 
voice  which  every  where  strikes  my  ear.  And 
when  night  arrives,  it  envelops  me  like  the 
gloomy  grave,  and  I  am  surrounded  by  the  em- 
pire of  death.  Noontide  alone  is  the  hour  for 
aie,  when  the  sun  scorches  my  head,  and  my 
sweat  trickles  down  into  the  furrows,  and 
there  is  no  shade  to  screen  me  from  his  rays." 
Then  said  Zillah:  "0  Cain,  my  beloved! 
behold,  yonder  comes  our  sheep,  white  as  the 
lilies  of  the  field,  and  their  udders  distended 
with  milk.  See  how  they  skip  to  their  peas  in 
the  radiance  of  evening !" 

Cain  looked  steadfestly  at  them,  and  cried, 
"  Ah,  they  are  Abel's  sheep !  Are  they  not 
stained  with  his  blood?  Their  bleating  is  a 
lament  for  Abel.  What  could  belong  to 
Cain?" 

Zillah  wept,  and  said:  "  Am  I  not  then,  Zil- 
lah, thy  wife,  who  loveth  thee  ?" 

He  replied  :  "  How  canst  thou  love  Cain, 
who  loveth   not  himself?    What  haat  thou 
irom  me  but  tears  aad  flighs?     Haw 
thou  love  Cain,  who  slew  Abel?" 

She  then  presented  to  him  Enoch,  her  son, 
and  the  infant  smiled  at  his  father. 

Then  Cain  fell  on  his  face  beneath  the  plan- 
tain tree,  and  sobbed,  and  said:  "  Alas !  must 
I  still  behold  the  smile  of  innocence?  It  is  not 
the  smile  of  the  son  of  Cain— it  is  the  smile  of 
Abel,  whom  Cain  slew." 

Thus  cried  he,  and  lay  sullenly  with  his  face 
to  the  earth.  But  Zillah  reclined  against  the 
plantain  tree  ;  for  she  trembled  exceedingly, 
and  her  tears  trickled  upon  the  ground.

TiiK  Population  of  Calikornia. — We  copy 
.^  -.  the  fbUaviog  estimate  of  the  population  of  the 
State,  from  the  new  work  lately  issued,  called 
the  "  State  Register." 

The  population  of  California  in  1831  was  es- 
timated at  23,025,  and  in  January,   1840,  at 
26,000,  viz:  Californians.  13,000;  Americans, 
8000;  Foreigners,  5.000.     The  returns  of  the 
national  census  of  1850  exhibit  a  population 
of  117,538,  and  the  State  census  of  1852,  of 
264,435.    The  following  estimate  of  the  popu- 
lation of  California  has  been  prepared  from  in- 
formation obtained    through  official  sources, 
and  a  careful  investigation  of  the  different 
classes  of  residents  included  therein:

It  must  afiford  a  grateful  observation  to  the 
friends  of  this,  our  new  State,  that  almost 
every  day  adds  to  the  further  developemeul  of 
the  immense  produae  of  the  same,  and  brings 
to  light  new  sources  of  wealth. 

'llie  experience  of  late  years,  and  recent  dis- 
coveries, "have  con  vlBced^us  that^gOWIs  not  the 
only  product  of  our  soil  worthy  of  develope- 
ment,  but  that  it  contains  other  substances  of 
value,  that  promise  more  ample  recompense 
to  judicious  iuvestmeuts  than  even  the  rich 
mines. 

Extensive  quarries  of  lime  stone  are  found 
in  various  portions  of  the  State,  and  sufficient 
lime  is  now  manufactured  to  meet  the  demands 
of  trade.     Coal  veins  have  been  discovered  at 
diff  rent  points,  and  companies  are  engaged  in 
working  and  prospecting  them.     The  Oroville 
Coal  Company  commenced  tunneling  two  years 
ago.     Their  depot  contains  about  two  hundred 
tons  ready  for  market,  which  sells  for  316  per 
ton  on  the  spot.    The  company  have  expended 
about  $50,000  on   their  enterprise.     Saline 
springs  of  value  have  caused  a  large  and  profi- 
table ontlay  in  the  manufacture  of  salt.     Silver 
and  copper  is  found,  and  may  yet  be  worked 
to  profit.     Our  quicksilver  mines  are  the  rich- 
est in  the  world.     Marble  veins,  embracing 
every  known  variety,  traverse  every  portion  of 
the  mineral  district.     Plumbago  exists  in  large 
quantities.      Our  capacity  for  carrying  on  an 
immense  lomber  trade  ia  sufficiently  attested 
by  the  vastness  of  our  primeval  forests,  and  our 
fisheries  are  another  resource  of  incalculable 
value.    To  this  list  we  can  adi,  as  being  found 
in  the  county  of  Placer  an  extensive  lead  of 
iron  ore,  which   will  go  still  farther  to  make 
up  the  sum    of   wealth  of   this  favored   re- 
gion.     The  lead  alluded   to  is  located  on  the 
lands  of  S.  W.  Lovell,  Esq.,  about  five  miles 
from  Auburn.     A  test  of  it  has  been  made, 
which  shows  extraordinary  richness — yielding 
about  eighty-three  per  cent.    From  the  conve- 
nient location  of  the  ore,  it  can  be  pat  down  at 
the  furnace  at  small  cost,  and  wood  for  the 
manufxcturc  of  charcoal  is  found  in  abundance 
in  the  immediate  vicinity.     Should  this  enter- 
prise meet  with  the  success  anticipated,  Cali- 
fornia pig  metal  can   be  offered  at  a  price  in 
San  Francisco  that  will  rule  that  of  eastern 
manufacture  out  of  the  market. 

The  Borax  near  Clear  Lake,  which  was  dis- 
covered a  few  weeks  ago;  at  the  bottom  of  the 
lake,  is  an  inexhaustible  treasure  of  that  salt, 
which  will  enable  the  proprietors  to  control 
the  market  of  the  world.  Their  only  competi- 
tors arc  the  factories  of  Tuscany,  where  the 
process  of  manufacturing  is  being  complicated 
and  expensive. 

Add  to  this  the  luxurious  vegetables,  proba- 
bly not  8nrpa8->ed  by  that  of  any  other  country, 
to  what  expectations  are  not  we  justified,  after 
a  proper  settlement  of  the  country,  and  the 
establishment  of  a  state  of  morality  in  some 
degree  adequate  to  these  natural  gifts.

Baron  Rothschild. — The  re-election  of 
Baron  Rothschild  to  Parliament  is  proclaimed 
by  the  Jewish  Presi  with  exultation,  on  ac- 
count of  its  being  a  proof  that  the  citizens  of 
the  greatest  metropolis  of  Europe,  are  deter- 
mined not  to  allow  religions  differencies  to  be 
a  barrier  to  political  liberty.

sively useful,  waste  not  thy  strength  upon

but  testify  against  open,  notorious  vice, and  pro- 
mote real  esssential  holincsss,  Leave  disputa-

Mobile. — The  Israelites  of  that  city  who

a  split  at  last.  We  have  .two  so  called  con 
gregation?;  the  synagogue  is  empty;  our  youths 
receive  no  proper  religious  instruction.  All 
that  is  worth  mentioning  among  ns,  is  the  ex- 
istence of  the  L.  H.  B.  S.  At  their  last  meet- 
ing held  April  20th,  the  following  officers  were 
elected  : — Mrs.  F.  Markstein,  President,  (by 
acclamation);  Mrs.  H.  Bloch,  Vice  President; 
Mrs.  Sarah  Frohlichstein,  Mrii.  Z.  Emanuel, 
and  Mrs.  R.  Pake,  Trustees  ;  Mrs.  Fanny  Tim, 
Treasurer;  Mrs.  J.  Epstein,  Secretary,  (re- 
elected.) The  society  now  numbers  forty-two 
members,  and  act  harmoniously  according  to 
their  means. 

Immioration. — About  4000  Chinamen  are

Iroreign  Intelligence. 

Trieste.— The  Jewiah  congregation  in  Tr- 
este  consists  of  about  4,000  souls,  mainly  from 
Dalmatia  and  Germany.  Jews  are  said  to 
have  resided  at  Trieste  as  early  as  the  middle 
of  the  tenth  century.  About  one  third,  or 
nearly  so,  of  the  mercantile  firms  are  Jews. 
There  are  nrteeu  Jewish  physicians,  and  tht^ 
have  many  benevolent  and  other  inst.tations.— 
hroelite. 

The  Ijombardo-Veoitian  kingdom  contains 
aboat  9000  Jews,  and  they  are  distribated  as 
follows  :— In  Venice,  2200  ;  Mantua,  2900 ; 
Verona,  1300;  Padua,  1000;  Rov^o,  500; 
Milan,  500.  They  are  strictly  orthodox,  and 
exert  great  influence  in  mercantile  affairs.— 
Padua  has  a  Rabbinical  seminary  since  the 
year  1826,  which  is  supported  by  the  Jews 
throughout  the  kingdom.  The  two  principals 
are  professors  Luzzato  and  Delia  Torre.  All 
the  Rabbis  of  the  kingdom  study  there.  There 
is  a  great  deal  done  by  the  Jews  throughout 
the  kingdom  for  schools  and  charitable  institu- 
tions. They  have  also  men  of  renown  in  the 
arts  and  sciences  among  them. — Israelite. 

Egypt. — There  are  abont  5000  Jews  in 
Egypt.  They  mostly  live  in  a  dirty  quarter 
of  Cairo  where  they  have  eight  synagogues. 
In  their  exterior  they  are  not  distinguished 
from  the  other  inhabitants.  They  are  leas  op- 
pressed than  in  any  other  of  the  Turkish  prov- 
inces. They  are  free  from  military  service, 
paying  like  the  physicians  a  special  tax  fr.r 
that  purpose  to  the  government.  They  lead  a 
very  retired  life,  and  are  exceedingly  neglectful 
of  the  exterior  of  their  houses  and  of  their  per- 
sonal appearance,  but  in  the  interior  every 
thing  is  comfortable  and  tasteful.  They  are 
exceedingly  rigorous  in  their  religious  observ- 
ances, and  most  scrupulous  in  fulfilling  engage- 
ments entered  into.  Among  all  Oriental  wo- 
men the  Jewesses  are  distinguished  for  their 
conjugal  fidelity  ;  their  religien  and  national 
pride  guard  them  against  errors.  The  Egyp- 
tian Jews  chiefly  are  engaged  in  the  bosiDese 
of  banking  and  discounting,  in  traffic  in  gener- 
al, and  in  the  exercise  of  trades. — lb. 

Turin. — The  Advocate  Isaac  Arton,  of  the 
Jewish  persuasion,  has  been  appointed  Minis- 
ter of  Foreign  Affdirs. 

Bohemia. — Bohemia  contains,  according  to 
the  last  census,  62,137  Jews,  who  are  divided 
into  347  congregations,  of  which  nine  have 
more  than  100,  and  23  more  than  50  familiee. 
They  are  superintended  by  12  district  Rabbis, 
and  presided  over  by  40  local  Rabbis  besides. 
They  have  altogether  261  synagogues  and  84 
oratories. — Israelite. 

Province  of  Posbn — The  representative 
assembly  of  the  city  of  Posen  is  composed  of 
thirty-six  members,  of  whom  twelve  are  Isra- 
elites. The  Board  of  the  newly  established 
Commercial  Union  also  counts  among  its  mem- 
bers five  Israelites.  At  the  general  meeting  of 
the  benevolent  society  for  the  purification  of 
the  dead,  the  celebrated  preacher  Mr.  Plesaner 
made  an  eloquent  appeal  in  favor  of  the  founda- 
tion of  a  Jewish  hospital  in  the  city  of  Poeen, 
which  has  been  generally  responded  to.  Sev- 
eral subscriptions  were  taken  np  on  the  spot. 
The  Loan  Society,  established  in  1855,  has 
also  published  its  first  report.  180  persons 
have  already  applied  to  the  society,  and  have 
otained  a  total  advance  of  815  [thalers. — Asm. 
Frankfort  on  the  Main. — Mr.  B.  D.  Op 
penheim,  the  banker,  has  appropriated  a  capital 
of  50,000  florins  the  interest  of  which  is  to  be 
employed  in  giving  pensions  to  young  Jewish 
students  who  devote  themselves  to  a  scientific 
or  techioical  career  and  who  attend  a  university, 
or  Feminary,  or  the  public  high  school. 

Germany — German  Israelite  Literary  Insti- 
tute.— The  number  of  the  subscribers  to  this 
nseful  institute,  which,  in  the  beginning  of  the 
second  year  of  its  existence,  already  amount- 
ed to  3000,  has  been  increased  by  many  hun- 
dreds daring  the  past  year.  The  directors 
have  even  been  obliged  io  refuse  to  admit  new

CHAPTER    VII. 

I  Short  account  of  Evander  and  Theodosia.— 
How  Religion  supports  the  members  of  a  re- 
ligious family  under  afflictive  events,  exhibit- 

td  in  the  death  cf  Thtnif^fia  

Religion,  while  it  cherished  all  the  sensibili- 
ties which  adorn  the  man,  opened  resources  to 
Evander,  who  was  no  stranger  to  the  views,  and 
dispositions,  the  fruit  of  true  religion.      Re- 
flection and  pious  submission  to  the  will  of 
God,  restortd  to  him  the  power  of  supporting 
another  interview  with  Theodosia.     He  rejoic- 
ed with  her,  in  the  prospects  of  everiasting  fe- 
iicity.      He  thanked  her  for  having  so  well  fil- 
led «p  her  station  in  life,  and  blessed  the  Father 
of  Mercies  for  having  vouchsafed  to  them  that 
knowledge  of  himself,  the  influence  of  which 
had  hitherto  sweetened  their  society,  and  now 
relieved  them  both,  under  the  pain  of  separa- 
tion.   Theodosia  expressed  a  desire  that  all 
the  family  should  be  admitted  into  her  cham 
ber,andPaternus,  their  minister  and  teacher 
under  whose  care  she  had    imbibed  the  first 
prisciplea  of  Religion,  and  whose  ministration 
.<he  had  attended  with  a  blessed  effect  from  her 
earliest  day,  to  these,   the  last  days  of  her 
earthly  pilgrimage  ;  she  wished  all  the  family 
to  attend  when  the  venerable  teacher  should 
make  his  visit.    "  For,"  said  she,  "  our  family 
worship  has  been  one  of  my  greatest  enjoy- 
ments.   1  should  liKe  to  join  once  more  with 
all  my  household  in  this  act ;   and  if  I  leave  it 
to  another  day,  it  may  not  be  practicable." 
Not  long  after  Paternus  entered  the  room ; 
to  whom,  ater  the  customary  inquiries  were 
answered,  the  proposal  of  Theodosia  was  men- 
tioned.   Paternos  was  pleased  with  it. 

In  a  little  time  all  were  ready.  Every  do- 
mestic was  admitted  into  the  chamber.  The 
servants  were  arranged  at  some  distance  from 
the  bed  in  sight  of  Theodosia,  who  was  raised 
by  pillows,  and  supported  by  two  of  her  chil- 
dren. Paternus  spoke  a  few  impressive  words 
to  the  patient,  pointing  out  the  glorious  pros 
pect  of  those  who  can  look  back  with  satisfac- 
lioD  to  a  well  spent  life  ;  he  hinted  at  the  care 
of  heaven  for  the  children  of  the  righteous,  to 
which  the  faithful  man  added  a  few  reflections, 
calonlated  to  infuse  into  the  minds  of  this  little 
congregation,  a  desire  to  "  die  the  death  of  the 
righteous."  A  heavenly  grace  seemed  to  have 
Ken  poured  over  the  pale  figure  of  our  depart- 
inj  pilgrim ;  her  countenance  was  mild,  and 
platid  ;  her  mind  solemn  and  composed.  No 
dejecting  thought  saddened  her  last  momenta — 
her  fl^ole  life  was  a  preparation  for  death ; 
har  wh»le  thoughts  directed  to  "the  land  of  the 
living."  Her  firm  faith  in  the  love  and  mercy 
of  a  kind  ^ther  in  Heaven,  convinced  her  of 
her  safety  ivhis  hands,  whether  in  this,  or  in 
a  lutnrc  life. 

After  a  sbor\  pause,  and  some  pertinent  re- 
marks, she  cont«a,ed :  Since  I  was  first  im- 
pressed with  the  tr^  idea  of  God,  of  retriba. 
tioD,  immortality,  ant  eternity,  I  thought  the 
day  of  our  departure  o»e  of  the  most  solemn  Of 
our  earthly  existence.  1  was  amazed  to  hear 
of  numbers,  who  carry  tieir  thoughtlessness 
with  them  into  the  grave— vho  can  see  death 
approach  without  being  solicitous  ti  making 
their  exit  as  is  becoming  an  immoHal  soul, 
and  who  die  as  they  lived,  without  66^ ;  who 
do  not  think  of  sanctifying  their  death  k^  by 
boly  thoughts,  and  meditations,  even  if  \heir 
physical  state  allows  them  to  do  so.  Aid  I 
thank  a  kind  Heaven  that  allows  me  now  \o 
see  you  round  me,  in  order  to  wish  you  a  be 
coming  last  farewell ;  and  I  hope  that  He  will 
strengthen  me  to  be  able  to  meditate  and  to 
speak  of  his  mercies,  till  the  angel  of  death 
will  shake  off  this  house  of  clay,  and  allow  my 
spirit  to4ake  its  flight  to  the  abode  of  the 
blessed. 

Theodosia  thought  that  an  admonition  from 
liCT,  in  present  circumstances,  might  impress 
tbeir  minds,  and  be  long  remembered.    She

which  always  led  her  to  make  towards  her 
point  by  delicate  approaches.    She  chose,  there-

calling  first  one,  and  then  another  of  her  ser- 
vants to  her  bedside,  and  making  those  kind 
Inquiries  About  tbek  health  wh^  reem«i  ta 
be  occasioned  merely  by  their  being  for  some 
time  invisible  to  her  through  her  confinement. 
When  she  had  thus  gone  round  with  her  inqui- 
ries, she  began  to  speak  of  her  own  case.     She 
told  them  of  her  supports,  of  the  goodness  of 
Ged,  and  the  blessedness  of  religion.      She  ad- 
monished them  in  the  most  affectionate  terms, 
ot  to  neglect  religion,  nor  to  be  inattentive  to 
I  the  arduous  dutits  it  imposes.    She  encoura- 
ged them  to  "  seek  the  Lord  while  he  may  still 
be  found,  to  come  to  him  while  still  nigh,"  by 
referring  them  to  that  composure  which  they 
now  saw  in  her,  who  knew  not  whether  she  had 
"  a  day  to  live."    "  Thus  peaceful,"  said  she, 
"  will  you  be  in  the  last  hour,  if  you  make  it 
the  main  business  of  your  life  to  devote  it  to 
purposes  appointed  by  the  will  of  God.     We 
mast  separate  now;  but  there  exists  a  higher 
union,  which  the  hand  of  death  csn  never  mar 
or  dissever.     We  shall  all  be  reunited  within 
the  compass  of  the  sacred  host,  when  our  souls 
shall    be  '  bound  up  in  the  bond  of  life.'  "— 
I  Samuel,  25:  29. 

To  this  tender  address  none  of  them  were 
able  to  make  any  reply.     With  respectful  and 
affectionate  silence,  some  of  them  approached 
to  kiss  her  hand.     Others  were  obliged  to  quit 
the  room  immediately,  in  order  to  give  vent  to 
their  feelings.     And  all  gave  proof  of  having 
heard  her  with  the  deepest  inajH^ssion.     Of  the 
scenes  which  followed,  no  description  shall  be 
attempted  ;  it  being  impossible  for  me  to  rep- 
resent it  justly  :    this  was  her  giving  her  part- 
ing charge  to  her  children  and  a  final  resigned 
committal  of  her  soul  to  God,  after  a  solemn 
confession  and  a  fervent  prayer,  which  will 
never  be  forgotten   by  those  who  heard  her, 
when  she  had  finished,  she  reclined  on  her  pil- 
low   again,    from  exhaustion — and  the  only 
words  sbe  was   heard   to  utter,  were:  'The 
Lord    is   merciful— O,  how  gloriousi— Lord 
thou  callest,  thy  servant  heareth." 

The  anguish  endnred  on  this  occasion  was 
unquestionably  great:  yet  let  it  be  remembered, 
that  although  the  survivors  of  Theodosia  suf- 
fered much  in  being  obliged  to  separate  from 
her,  the  supports  of  Religion  were  felt-  They 
knew  that  there  was  a  possibility  of  their  meet- 
ing again;  and  they  derived  comfort  from 
what  they  had  been  taught,  namely,  that  a  far 
more  happy  interview  awaited  them  if  they 
followed  her,  "  who  had  gone  home  in  the 
Lord." 

These  are  the  felicities  of  married  life,  where 
piety  is  combined  with  natural  attachment. 
In  such  instances,  we  see  something  of  Fiden 
restored.  How  great  and  how  lively  the  con- 
trast to  the  wretched  family  of  an  irreligious 
pair,  is  that,  where  the  members  live  together 
in  peace  and  love,  delighting  in  God,  and  in 
the  society  of  each  other,  worshipping  his 
name,  regarding  his  word,  attending  regularly 
to  his  ordinances,  discharging  their  regular  du- 
ties,, bearing  each  other's  burdens;  and  when 
death  makes  a  separation,  quitting  each  other 
in  the  hope  of  being  reunited  in  a  better  worid, 
never  to  know  a  parting  there. 

Sach  was  the  family  of  Evadncr  and  Theo- 
dosia. Like  them,  may  you  rule  your  home  in 
the  fear  of  God!  Thus  will  you  be  "lovely  and 
pleasant  in  your  lives,  and  in  death  not  divi- 
ded." Thus  will  you  be  happy  in  yourselves, 
comforts  to  each  other,  patterns  to  your  neigh- 
bors, and  witnesses  of  the  excellency  of  that 
xoly  estate,  in  which  the  hands  of  the  first  hu- 
nnn  pair  were  joined  by  their  Creator.

And  thev  (the  spies)  came  unto  the  valley  of 
Bihcof,  and  they  cut  down  from  there  a 
branch  with  one  cluster  of  grapes,  and  they 
btra  it  between  two  on  a  pole.— Numbers, 
13:23. 
Joftph  is  a  fruitful  bough,  eveu  a  fruitful 
.,  bongh  by  a  well,  whose  wanches  run  over 
the  wall— G«n.,  49^^52. 

"  Aud  Jioah  began  to  be   a  husband- 
man, and  hfi  planted  a  vineyard"— Gen. 
9:  90)    This  carries  us  back  to  the  first 
mentJDn  made  of  the  vine  in  history. — 
)\  Thus  early  was  its  cultivation  made  a 
bran<h  of  industry. 
i     The  vine  is  one  of  the  choicest  gifts  of 
^Profidence  to  the  inhabitants  of  warm 
cllmattes.      It   spreads  its   branches  far 
and  wide,  shooting  out  its  tendrils  to- 
wards every  neighboring  object,  and  for- 
mii^  a   bower-like  shade  from  the  sultry 
sun,    while  its   goodly  clusters  of  fruit 
•lease  the  taste  and  satisfy  the  hungry 
appetite.      What  then  tan  be  more  sinful 
t6an  to  abuse  this  good  gift  of  the  Crea- 
tor by  making  it  serve  for  the  purposes  of 
noisy  mirth  aud  drunkenness! 
The  juice  of  the  grape,  when  first  pressed 
I   out  and  before  any  fermentation  has  takan 
I   plao&  is  sweet,  and  does  not  possess  any 
of  thi^t  fiery,  injurious  quality  which  prod- 
j    uces  intoxication.   If  you  have  tasted  new 
Los  An|;eles  wine,  you  will  find  that  its 
I    taste  is  aweet,  and  not  tart  like  old  wines. 
I    It  was  In  this  unfcrmeuted  state,  probably, 
I   that  it  was  used  in  those  instances  in  the 
I  Bible  where  its  use  is  spoken  of  with  appro- 
t  bation.     After   fermentation    has  taken 
place,  and  it  has  become  an  intoxicating 
liqaor,  all  unnecessary  use  of  it  should  b« 
most^Cft'efull^  aroided.    To  drink  wine  as 
a  beverage  out  (Jif  complmcnt  to  others  as 
is  the  custom  among  us,  or  to  please  one's 
own  taste,   if  not  positively  forbidden  in 
Scriptare  as  sinful,  is  a  dangerous  practice 
both  to  soul  and  body,  and  as  an  exam- 
ple is  injurious  in  jits  influence. 

Let  this  be  your  decision  and  abide  firm- 
ly by  it:  "  Entire  abstinence  is  safe;  but 
eren  a  moderate  and  occasionul  ase  is 
beset  with  tem(>latioi^  and  danger  to  my- 
self and  others  thcrtforo  ua  '0  pretence 
or  consideratiou  whatever  will  ^  urink  wine 
unnecessarily."

prodace  large  grapes  is  not  the  distinction 
of  good  vines,  as -the  largesl  grapes  ari- 
seldoflB  the  "best;  nevertheless,  while  Pal- 
estine has  varieties  of  the  vine,  the  grapes 
of  which  are  small  aud  luscios,  there  are 
others  wTiose  grapef  are  targe  enough  to 
draw  expressions  of  wonder  from  ftTcn  the 
inhabitants  of  European  vine  countries. — 
Livborde  has  given  a  figure,  in  the  natu- 
ral prgportious  of  some  that  he  saw,  and 
you  may  .see  how  large  they  arc,  just  ex- 
actly ^s  large  as  those  which  I  send  you 
in  the  cot  ubove  this  article.  I  had  them 
purposely  copied  from  Laborde  to  show 
you  how  large  the   grapes   in   Palestine 

are. 

But,  in  conformity  with  the  text  before 
us,  the  size,  the  richness  of  the  clusters  of 
the  grapes  in  matiy  parts  of  Palestine,  ex- 
cites mbre  astonishment  than  even  that  of 
iim  gr||)e8.      An   Italian  traveler  avers, 
that  in  different  parts  nf  Syria  he   saw 
clusters  that  would  be  a  sufficient  bnrden 
for  one^  man.     A   German  traveller  de- 
clares, with  some  solemnity  of  assertion 
that  in  the  mountains  of  Israel  he  has  seen 
and  eaten  from  clusters  of  grapes  that 
were  half  an  ell  long,  and  the  grapes  of 
which  were  equal  to  two  finger  joints  in 
length.     A  very  intelligent  French  trav- 
eler is  still  more  particular.     He  declares 
that  one  who  had  seen  the  vine  only  in  the 
countries  of  France  and  Italy,  could  form 
no  just  conception  of  the  size  to  which  the 
clusters  attain  in  Syria.      He  had  himself 
seen   clusters    weighing    ten    or    twelve 
pounds,  and  he  had  reason  to  believe,  that 
in  the  Archipelago  clusters  of  thirty  or 
forty  pounds  were  not  uncommon.     A  still 
older  traveler  of  the  same  nation  tells  us, 
that  traveling  near  Bethlehem,  he  found 
himself  in  a  delightful  valley,  replete  with 
rose-trees  and  aromatic  plants,  and  plant- 
ed with  vines.     This  was  that  which  tra- 
dition regards  as  as  the  valley  of  Echsol, 
from  which  the  spies  obtained  their  clus- 
ter.    It  is  beyond  a  doubt  that  the  cluster 
in  question  was  gathered  in  the  south  of 
Palestine  ;  for  as  the  spies  had  seen  these 
grapes  in  their  outward   way,  it  would 
have  been  absurd  for  them  to  have  gather- 
ed any  but  at  the  last  available  point  to- 
wards their   own  encampment.     As  stri- 
king an  instance  as  any  that  we  have  quo- 
ted has  occurred  in  England,  in  regard  to 
the  produce  of  a  Syrian  vine  at  Welbeck, 
the  seat  of  the  Duke  of  Portland.     A 
bunch  from  this  vine  was  sent,  in  1819,  as 
a  present  to  the  Marquis  of  Rockingham, 
which  weighed  nineteen  pounds.     It  was 
conveyed  to  its  destination,  more  than 
twenty  miles  distant,  on  a  staff,  by  four 
laborers,  two  of  whom  bore  it  rotation  ; 
thus  affording  a  striking  illustration  of  the 
means  adopted  by  the  explorers  in  trans- 
porting the  Eshcol  cluster.    The  greatest 
diameter  of  this  Welbech  cluster  was  nine- 
teen inches  and  a-ha)f  ;  its  circumference 
four  feet  and  a-half  ;  and  its  length  near- 
ly twenty-three  inches.  r 
(To  be  Continued.) 

CcMscRi,  TUB  Emikbnt  Exposkd  TO  It. — It 
is  a  folly  for  an  eminent  man  to  think  of  esca- 
ping censure,  and  a  weaknes^Urto  be  affected 
with  it.  All  the  illustrious  jprsons  of  antiq- 
uity, and  indeed  of  every  age  in  the  world,  have 
passed  through  this  fiery  persecution.  There  is 
uo  defence  against  reproach  but  obscurity;  it  is 
a  kind  of  concomitant  to  greatness  ;  as  satires 
and  invectives  were  an  esential  part  of  a  Ro- 
man trinnph. — Addison.

Well  may  fe  part  in  glee ; 
From  their  hgmy  wiafs  thqp  soattar  flowera, 

And,  laughing,  look  on  thee. 

Thy  thrilliog  voice  has  started  tears: 

It  brings  to  mind  that  day 
When  I  chased  butterflies  and  years,— 

And  both  flew  last  away. 

Then  my  glad  thoughts  were  few  and  firee; 

They  came  but  to  depart. 
And  did  not  ask  where  heaven  could  be— 

T  was  in  my  little  heart. 

I  since  have  sought  the  meteor  crown, 

Which  fame  bestows  on  meoi-' 
How  gladly  would  I  throw  it  down, 

To  be  80  gay  again ! 

But  youthful  joy  has  gone  away; 

In  vain  'tis  now  pursued; 
Such  rainbow  glories  only  stay 

Around  the  simply  good. 
I  know  too  much  to  be  as  blessed 

As  when  I  was  like  thee; 
My  spirit,  reaf  oned  into  rest. 

Has  lost  its  bouyancy. 

Yet  still  I  love  the  winged  hours: 

We  often  part  in  glee — 
And  sometimes,  too,  are  fragrant  ttowers 

Their  farewell  gilts  to  me.

BIBTH8. 


I  In  thia  city,  July  3d,  the  wife  of  Mr.  J.  Lang- 
staller,  of  a  boy. 


Behold.lhijee  if  ther&Xaiiy  sorrow  like 
unto  my  iiiinTlir  Jlk^Ji  brought  upon  me 
where  with  thc^iitffdBStK^icted  me  ia  the 
day  of  his  wfl(u.     Lameotati 

The  most  lamentable  spot  in  the  Hoiy^^ty 
is  that  of  our  heading.  The  Place  of  Wailing 
before  the  Clothd  Maarbi  Western  wall,  a  spot 
that  has  exerci?ed  its  fascinating  power  over 
tbe  mind  ef  the  Jewish  Christian,  and  Maho- 
metan pilgrim  for  centuries  and  that  offers  a 
most  interesting  specimen  of  antiquity  to  which 
the  attention  of  our  readers  could  be  called. 

It  is  the  remnant  of  the  wall  which  once 
closed  in  the  temple  of  the  Court  of  Solomon, 
(not  the  Temple  itself,)  and  which  has  been 
preserved  through  the  desolation  of  ages  as  a 
rare  monument  of  Jewish  architecture,  and  as 
a  specimen  of  the  strength  of  the  ancient  City 
of  the  I>ord. 

It  forms  now  part  of  the  wall  of  the  mosque 
of  Omar,  which  occupies  on  the  western,  sonth- 
ern  and  eastern  sidos  the  site  of  the  ancient 
temple  of  Jerusalem. 

The  remains  of  the  old  wall  extend,  with 
considerable  interruptions,  along  these  three 
sides  of  the  immense  quadrangle.    The  most 


massive  portion  of  it  is  at  the  southeast  cor- 
ner, where  this  ancient  wall  is  above  forty  feet, 
in  height,  and  extends,  with  some  intermptiong 
and  a  less  elevation,  the  whole  distance  to  the 
northern  termination  of  the  Uaram.  The 
same  massive  stile  prevails  for  a  considerable 
distance  from  the  southeast  angle  toward  the 
west,  and  again  reappears  near  the  termination 
of  this  side  of  the  Uaram  ;  (al  Charim,  "the 
Holy,"  the  Arabic  name  given  to  this  site.) 
This  noble  relic  consists  of  ten  courses,  one 
above  another,  of  huge  stones— one  measures 
fifteen  feet  in  length,  and  three  in  breadth, 
another  eigkt  feet  square;  others  farther  south 
are  twenty-four  feet  long.  They  are  bevelled 
like  the  immense  stones  of  the  Mosque  of  He. 
bron,  over  the  sepulchres  of  Abraham,  Isaac, 
and  Jacob,  which  we  have  fully  described  in 
Gleaner  Noe.  1,  2,  3.  They  are  of  a  very  white 
limestone,  ressmbling  marble.  They  exhibit 
different  stiles  of  architecture.  The  higher 
part  is  built  with  smaller  stones,  and  more 
in  Saracenic  stile  affording  a  complete  con- 
trast to  the  ancient  masses  below. 

Some  of  the  stones  in  the  lower  courses  arc 
actually  worn  smooth  with  the  tears  and 
kisses  of  the  wailing  multitudes  of  mouri  ing 
Israelites. 


Near  the  foot  of  this  part  of  the  wall,  and  ■ 
little  farther  south  is  an  open  space  i)aved  with 
Hags,  where  the  Jews  ossemble  every  Friday, 
and  in  small  numbers  on  other  days,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  praying  and  bewailing  the  desolations 
of  their  holy  places.  Neither  Jews  nor  Chris- 
tians are  allowed  to  enter  the  Haruni,  which  is 
consecrated  to  Mahommedan  worship,  and  this 
part  of  the  wall  is  the  nearest  approach  they 
can  make  to  what  they  regard  as  the  precise 
spot  within  the  forbidden  enclosure  upon  which 
the  ancient  Temple  stood.  They  keep  the 
.pavement  swept  with  great  care,  and  take  off 
their  shoes,  as  on  holy  ground.  Standing  or 
kneeling  with  their  faces  towards  the  ancient 
wall,  they  gaze  in  silence  upon  its  venerable 
stones,  or  pour  forth  their  complaints  in  half- 
snppresseo  though  audible  tones.  This,  to  me 
was  alwajH  a  moat  affecting  sight,  and  I  re" 
pea  ted  my  visits  to  this  interesting  spot  to 
enjoy  and  sympathize  with  the  melancholy  yet 
pleasing  spectacle.  The  poor  people  somo- 
times  sobbed  aloud,  and  still  found  tears  to 
pour  out  for  the  desolations  of  their  "beauti- 
ful house."  "  If  I  forget  thee,  O  Jerusalem,  let 
my  right  hand  forget  her  cunning.  If  I  do  not 
remember  thee,  let  my  tongue  cleave  to  the  roof 
of  my  mouth,  if  I  prefer  not  Jerusalem  above 
my  chief  joy." 

The  wall  is  not  accessible  from  a  short  dis- 
tance north  of  the  Jews'  place  of  prayer  to  its 
termination  in  this  direction,  houses  being  built 
close  to  the  Haram. 

The  northern  limit  of  this  area  is  not  well 
defined,  (nor  was  I  able,  though  I  severftl  time" 
attempted  it,  to  discover  any  portion  of  the  old 
wall,)  the  region  being  covered  with  houses* 
and  a  long,  deep  reservoir,  known'to  the  people 
as  the  Pool  of  Bethesda  extends  nearly  half  the 
length  of  this  side  of  the  Uamm,  from  the  mid- 
dle almost  to  the  eastern  wall.  \ 


Thajiks.— We  acknowledge  our  thanks  for 
the  invitation  extended  to  us  to  the  benefit

A  clioico  viiipyurd  contained  as  many  as 
a  t!i:iisan(l  vines  and  rented  yearly  for  a 
{haiiai'.iid  tiioco*  (if  tiiivir. — liiaiAh,  7;  2'il. 
8<iK)mon  had  a  vineyard  oftliissizo  at  13:i- 
nl-hanion,  as  wc  learn  from  Sol.  Songs,  H: 
12,  13.  lint  when  vines  arc  ctdtivated  for 
the  pnrpo.sc  of  niakin<i;  wine  they  are  n>u- 
a!iy  cultivated  in  ro  vs,  dipt  very  short, 
ami  f.istencd  to  poks.  Tliis  to  the  eye  of 
taste  robs  them  of  all  their  beauty.  We 
love  to  think  of  a  vine  as  spreading  over  ii 
true  or  a  portico,  trailing  along  walls,  or 
fidornin^  the  poor  man's  cottage.  It  is 
an  excellent  cnstora  in  hot  climates  to 
plant  a  vine  by  the  side  of  a  well.  This 
is  fraiised  o'er  a  frame  of  net-work,  and 
forms  an  arbor  which  afl'ords  a  cool  re- 
treat, even  at  mid-day.  The  patriarch 
Jacob  had  such  an  image  as  this  in  his 
mind,  when  he  said,  "Joseph  is  a  fruitful 
Lo  ij;h,  even  a  fruitful  bough  by  a  well, 
whose  branches  run  over  the  wall."  Gen. 
22.  From  vines  trained  in  this  way  near 
dwellings,  for  tlieir  shade  and  fruit,  was 
derived  the  expression  used  by  the  prophet 
Micah  and  others  of  the  prophets,  "  they 
siiall  sit  every  man  under  liis  vine  and  un- 
der his  fig  tree."  Mic.  4:4.  It  became 
a  proverbial  phrase  to  indicate  a  state  of 
ciijoymcnt,  repose  and  security. 

We  need  not  wonder  that  oar  forefathers 
esteemed  the  vine.  Every  part  of  it  still 
continues  to  be  higldy  valued.  The  sap 
was  at  one  time  used  in  medicine.  Vor- 
jiiico  e.xpressed  from  wild  grap  s  is  well 
known  for  jts  acidity.  The  late  Sir  A. 
Burns  mentions  that  in  Caubul  they  use 
grape  powder,  obtained  by  drying  and 
powdering  the  unripe  fruit,  as  a  pleasant 
acid.  When  ripe,  the  fruit  is  every  where 
highly  esteemed,  both  fresh,  and  in  its 
dred  state  as  raimns.  The  juice  of  the 
ripe  fruit,  called  must,  is  valued  as  a  very 
pleasant  beverage.  By  fermentation,  wine, 
alcohol  and  vinegar  are  obtained  ;  the 
leaves  yield  tartar;  an  oil  is  sometimes  ex- 
pressed from  the  seeds  ;  and  tho  ashes  of 
the  twigs  were  formerly  valued  in  couse- 
(picncc  of  yielding  a  salt,  which  we  now 
know  to  be  carbonate  of  potash. 

Tho  vine  is  not  always  so  slender  a 
tree,  as  you  may  have  seen.  A  traveler 
states  that  he  supped  under  t^  yme  whose 
stem  was  about  a  foot  and  a-half  in  diam- 


eter, its  height  about  thirty  feet,  while  its 
branches  and  branchlets,  which  had  to  be 
supported,  formed  a  tent  of  upwards  of 
thirty  feet  square.  Bui  his  will  appear 
nothing  extraordinary  to  those  who  have 
seen  the  vine  at  Hampton  Court,  in  Eu 


gland,  which  covers  a  space  of  2200  aquare 
feet. 

In  scripture  the  Hebrew  people  is  often 
compared  to  a  vine,  as  you  may  see  in  the 
prophet  JeremiSh,  11:  21;  and  in  nume- 
rous other  passages,  of  which  we  will 
mention  but  one,  that  for  beauty  has  few 
equals.  It  describes  Israel's  deliverance 
from  Kgypt,  his  settlement,  spread  and 
the  fall;  the  ejection  of  the  Oanaanites, 
under  the  beautiful  allegory  of  the  vine: 
Psalms  80:  8—15. 

8.  0  God  of  hosts!  cause  u.s  to  return,  and 
let  thy  counteoance  Bhine,  that  we  may  be 
saved. 

6.  A  vine  <5i let  thou  remove  out  of  Egypt; 
t'lou  drovest  out  uatiuDS  and  plantdst  it. 

10.  Thou  didet  char  out  a  place  befoieit, 
and  it  struck  its  root  deeply  and  it  filled  the 
land. 

11.  Mountains  were  covered  with  its  shadow, 
and  with  its  boughs,  the  cedars  of  God. 

12.  It  sent  out  its  tendrils  as  far  as  the  sea, 
and  unto  the  river  its  suckers. 

-Tff.  Wbfrefjre  hiratr  ibtm  now  brolton  down 


both  its  ends,  and  the  middle  of  itbeseorebed; 
will  it  be  fit  for  any  work  f 

6.  Behold,  when  it  was  entire,  it  could  not 
be  employed  for  any  work  :  how  much  more 
(must  this  be)  when  the  fire  hath  consumed  it, 
and  it  is  scorched,— and  shall  it  yet  be  employ- 
ed for  any  work  t 


its  fences,  so  that  all   who    pass   by   the  way 
pluck  the  fruit  from  it? 

14.  The  boar  out  of  the  forest  doth  gnaw  at 
it,  and  what  iiioveth  on  the  fi.id  fecdeth  on  it 

15  God  of  Uosts,  return!  I  pray  thee  look 
down  from  Heaven,  and  behold,  and  think  of 
this  vine. 

The  prophet  Isaiah  pursues  the  same 
beautiful  allegory:  "My  well  beloved 
hath  a  vineyard  in  a  very  fruitful  hill." 
He  represented  this  vineyard  as  planted, 
watered  and  guarded  by  the  Lord  of 
Hosts,  and  in  conclusion  explain?  his  mean- 
ing thus,  "for  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord 
of  Hosts  is  the  house  of  Israel,  and  the 
me:)  of  Judah  his  pleasant  plant-"  Is.  5: 
1—7. 

We  could  adduce  more  interesting  com 
parisons,  if  our  space  allowed  it,  at  this 
time. 

But  wc  will  state  one  more  comparison. 
Israel  is  in  several  passages  compared  to 
a  vine,  as  a  reproach.  It  is  when  they  had 
sinned,  and  practiced  wickedness;  then 
they  are  compared  to  wild  and  sour  grapes. 
And,  say  the  Rabbis,  why  is  Israel  com- 
pared to  a  vine?  It  is,  because  the  vine 
has  no  other  use,  (with  few  exceptions,) 
but  for  its  fruit  ;  its  wood  is  not  fit  for 
building  material,  nor  for  vessels  or  furni- 
ture, being  brittle  or  knotty.  If  the  vine 
bears  no  fruit,  what  is  it  used  for  ?  For 
fuel — it  is  thrown  into  the  fire  and  consu- 
med, being  proper  for  nothing  else;  its 
name  and  species  caimot  save  it ;  so  it  is 
with  Israel,— /f  w  twI  the  name,  or  tho  de- 
scent, it  is  the  fruit  fgood  worksj  that 
constitutes  a  child  of  Abraham— a  vine 
planted  by  the  Lord.  If  Israel  bears  no 
fruit,  he,  having  failed  in  his  destiny,  is 
rejected  and  consumed,  as  is  said  by  the 
prophet:— rEzek.  15:  1— T.j 

1.  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me, 
saying, 

2.  Son  of  man,  What  shall  become  of  the 
woo  I  of  the  vine  more  than  of  any  other  wood, 
of  the  branch  which  was  standing  amoug  the 
trees  of  the  forest? 

3  Can  wood  be  taken  therefrom  to  employ 
it  for  any  work  f  or  will  men  take  from  it  a  pin 
to  hang  thereon  any  vessel  I 

4.  Behold,  if  it  be  given  up  to  the  fire  to  be 
consumed,— (and)   the  fire   having  consumed 


^  6.  TtereTore,  thus  Tialh  Said  Tl»«  Lord  Eter- 
nal,  As  the  wood  of  the  vine  among  the  trees 
•f  the  forest,  which  I  have  given  up  to  the  fire 
to  ba  consumed:  eo  do  I  give  up  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Jerusalem. 

7.  And  I  will  set  my  face  against  them:  from 
the  fire  have  they  gone  forth,  yet  the  fire  -hall 
devour  them;  and  ye  shall  know  that  lam 
the  Lord,  when  I  set  my  face  against  them. 

[See  also  llosea  12:    1.] 

Awful  doom  for  the  implied  fruitless 
vino. 

Lastly,  as  the  Bible  in  many  other  in- 
stances teaches  love  and  humanity  ;  so  it 
does  with  regard  to  the  fruit  of  the  vine, 
the  grape,  fand  all  other  fruits  of  the  soil. )

WARM  AND  COLD  SEA  BATHS,  SWIM- 
MING BATHS,  and  all  kinds  of  MINER. 
AL  and  ARTIFICIAL  BATHS  for  the  luogi 
and  THBny  other  diseasM, 

ON  METGGS'  WHARF. 

The  first  and  only  Sea  Bathingestablishmerii 
on  the  I'acifie  Ocean,  where  every  convenience 
is  found  in  the  latest  style,  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  bathers  and  invalids. 

There  is  also  attached  a  Wirra  Sea  Bath  fur 
Ladies  of  the  Hebrew  faith,  where  they  can 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  which  ii 
connected  with  the  sea. 

This  institution  has  now  been  in  operatioii 
one  year,  and  it  has  not  only  satisfied  the  ex- 
pectations  of  the  public,  but  has  far  exceeded 
the  anticipations  of  the  proprietor.  The  throng 
of  sufferers  and  bathers  has  increased  daily, 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  facilities  have 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  im- 
portant improvetnents  have  been  made.  Eaeh 
bather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  can  be 
pronerly  cooled  and  rested. 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliative, 
but  a  positive  ren.edy.  It  takes  the  disease  it 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hun- 
dreds of  patients  who  have  used  these  bathj 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  bten 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  bnvo  bnffleJ  all 
other  remcdiea,  have  been  cured  by  the  usejo 
these  baths  in  a  short  time. 

Evory  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  theie 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  theic 
here. 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  E*tablijh- 
mcnt  ia-a-^liUTEL,  conUining  a  gr^  msnj_ 
rooms  elegantly  fitted  up  for  patients  and  bath- 
ers,  and  where  they  can  lodge  and  receive 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  Merchants  and 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  for 
business  or  on  account  of  sickness,  should  not 
fail  to  go  to  the 

Sea  Bath   Hotel, 

Before  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  manj 
quacks  thatabound  in  San  Francisco. 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen  patronizing  my  estab* 
lishmeut  will  find  neatly  furnished  parlor?, 
where  every  attention  will  be  paid  ;  and  to 
bathers  the  utmost  care  will  be  rendered  by 
polite  female  and  male  servants.  These  baths, 
in  connection  with  the  Sea-Watsr  Douche  will 
perform  wonders;  and  as  the  price  for  their 
use,  and  lodgings  at  the  hotel,  is  only  from 
tl2  60  to  |5  per  day,  its  benefits  and  blessings 
are  alike  accessible  to  the  poor  as  well  as  the 
rich. 

To  convince  the  people  of  California  that 
there  is  no  humbuggery  about  the  instilutioD, 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  thanks  that 
have  been  sent  to  me: 

San  Fbascisco,  10th  Nov.  1856. 

I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  afflicted  lor 
many  months  with  severe  bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.  1 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  this 
city,  but  none  coold  help  me.  I  lost  all  my 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.  My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on  to  New 
York  to  try  a  cure,  in  this  perplexity,  I  called 
on  Dr.  Bruos,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.  I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  mo  to  Dr.  Brunf, 
under  whose  care  I  became  healthy  and  strong. 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  publicly  to  mske 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  sufferers  know  that 
Dr.  Bruns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health.

SACRED  TOPOGRAPHY. 


Mount  Sinai. 

COMTIMOKD   rSOH   P.    IPS. 


TBK  BOCK  OF  HOSES — 


"  Oq  the  opposite  side  of  the  mountain  from 
the  convent  high  np  in  the  Wady,  the  monks 
show  a  curiosity  that  baa  puzzled  many  a  trav- 
eler: It  ia  a  rock,  called  "  the  Rock  of  Mo.se8,'> 
said  to  be  the  same  that  was  struck  by  the  He- 
brew legislator,  to  satisfy  the  thirst  of  the 
people.  The  stone  is  about  twelve  feet  high, 
and  on  one  side  are  eii-ht  or  ten  deep  gashes, 
from  one  to  three  feet  long,  and  from  one  to 
two  inches  wide,  some  of  which  are  trickling 
wijh  water.  These  gashes  are  singular  in 
their  appearance,  though  probably  only  show- 
ing the  natural  effect  of  time  and  exposure. 
They  look  something  like  the  gashes  in  the 
bark  of  a  growing  tree,  except  that,  instead  of 
the  gash  swelling  and  growing  over,  they  arc 
worn  and  reduced  to  a  polished  smoothness. 
"  Thty  are,  no  doubt,"  says  Steffers,  "the  work 
of  men's  hands,  a  clumsy  artifice  of  the  early 
monks  to  touch  the  hearts  of  pious  pilgrims  ; 
but  the  monks  of  the  convent,  and  the  Greek 
pilgrims  who  go  there  now,  believe  in  it  with 
as  much  honesty  and  sincerity  as  in  the  cruci- 
fixion." 

-    However,  S^^itp  ^m]  y\nrh\n  ^nA  othCf  trflv 

elers  think  differently;  they  say  the  work 
could  by  no  means  be  that  of  the  chisel.  We 
quote  Durbin:  "  As  good  pilgrims  we  felt  in 
duty  bound  to  visit  the  rock  which  Moses 
struck  in  Horeb  to  satisfy  the  thirsting  Israel- 
ites. From  the  accounts  of  previous  travelers, 
and  my  settled  conviction  that  the  legend  in 
regard  to  the  rock  was  but  a  fable,  I  had  made 
np  my  mind  that  there  conld  be  no  interest  ex- 
cited about  it.  May  I  tell  the  reader  that, 
notwithstanding  my  good  stock  of  skepticism, 
this  rock  made  more  impression  on  me  than 
any  natural  object  claiming  to  attest  a  miracle 
ever  did  ?  Had  any  enlightened  geologist,  ut- 
terly ignorant  of  the  miracle  of  Moses,  passed 
up  this  ravine  and  seen  the  rock  as  it  now  is, 
be  would  have  declaied — though  the  position 
of  the  stone  and  the  present  condition  of  the 
country  round  would  have  opposed  any  such 
impression — that  strong  and  long  continued 
fountains  of  water  had  once  poured  their 
currents  from  it  and  over  it.  He  could  hot 
waver  in  this  belief  for  a  moment,  so  natural 
and  perfect  were  the  indications.  I  ezamiaed 
it  thoroughly,  and  if  it  be  a  forgery,  I  am  sat- 
isfied for  my  own  part,  that  a  greater  than  Mi- 
chael Angelo,  designed  and  executed  it.  I 
cannot  differ  from  Shaw's  opinion,  that '  nei- 
ther art  nor  chance  could  by  any  meana  be 
concerned  in  the  contrivance  of  these  holes, 
which  formed  so  many  fountains.'  The  more  I 
gazed  upon  the  irregular  mojth-like  chasms  in 
the  rock,  the  more  I  found  my  skepticism  aha- 
l<en  ;  and  at  last  I  could  not  help  a.«king  my- 
self whether  it  was  not  a  very  natural  solution 
of  the  matter,  that  this  was  indeed  the  rock 
which  Moses  struck,  that  from  it  the  waters 
'gushed  forth,'  and  poured  their  streams  down 
Wady  leja  to  Wady  esh-Sheikh,  and  along  it 
to  Rephidim,  where  Israel  was  encamped,  per- 
ishing with  thirst,  while  Auialek  hovtred  over 
them  ready  to  strike." 

So  far  Durbin.  We  now  quote  from  Olin, 
from  whom  we  have  bad  occasion  to  copy  on 
former  occasions: — "  The  rock  shown  by  them 
as  that  of  Horeb,  from  which  the  water  gush- 
ed forth  upon  its  being  smitten  by  the  rod  of 
Moses,  has  often  been  referred  to  as  an  instance 
of  fraud.  I  visited  this  remarkable  rock,  ex- 
pecting to  find  those  palpable  marks  of  art 
which  have  so  frequently  been  described.  I 
confess  I  was  disappointed  ;  and  without  being 
prepared  to  express,  and  without  having  form- 
ed any  decisive  opinion  upon  the  subject,  I  saw 
nothing  that  led  me  to  suspect  that  the  monks 
made  the  incisions  which  apj>ear  in  the  rock. 
It  is  an  isolated  mass  of  granite,  nearly  twen- 


ty feet  square,  and  high,  with  its  base  conceal- 
ed in  the  earth,  wc  are  left  to  conj^cArs  to 
what  depth.  lu  the  face  of  the  n»ck  are  a 
number  of  horizontal  fisnures  at  unM]uaI  dis- 
tances from  each  other,  some  near  the  top,  aid 
others  a  little  above  th>  surface  of  the  ground. 
The  colour  and  wiiole  appeiirai;ce  of  the  rock  1 
are  ^-uch,  that  if  set-n  elsewhere,  and  discon- 
nected from  all  traditions,  no  one  would  lieoi 
tate  to  believe  that  they  had  been  produced 
by  water  flowing  from  these  fissures.  I  think 
it  would  be  extremely  difficult  to  form  such 
fissures  or  produce  the  other  appearances  by 
art.  It  is  not  less  difficult  to  believe  that  a 
natural  fountain  should  flow  at  the  height  of  a 
dozen  feet  out  of  the  face  of  an  isolated  rock. 
Believing  as  I  do  that  water  was  miraculously 
brought  out  of  a  rock  belonging  to  this  moun- 
tain, I  can  see  nothing  incredible  in  the  opin- 
ion that  this  is  the  identical  rock,  and  that 
these  fissures  and  other  appearances  should  be 
regarded  as  evidence  of  that  fact." 

The  rock  is  a  beautiful  granite,  quite  insu- 
lated in  a  narrow  valley ;  the  Arabs  reverence 
it,  and  stutl  shrubs  into  the  fissures,  which  be- 
come impregnated,  as  they  say,  with  medicinal 
virtues,  and  of  which  the  camels  are  made  to 
eat  when  they  are  s'ck,  for  the  purpose  of  re- 
storing them. 

At  present  there  is  no  lack  of  water,  natural 
springs  abounding  in  the  whole  district  in  the 
AftigbbocLood.  VVioic;  ood  «puugr  bowc^cr^. 
are  the  time  for  rains  ;  and  we  may  presume 
that  many  of  the  mountain  streams  fail  during 
the  summer,  the  season  when  the  Israelites  en- 
camped here,  or  that  the  quautity  of  water 
may  then  be  so  diminished  as  to  be  insufficient 
to  satisfy  the  wants  of  a  vast  .Multitude.  3e- 
si(ies,  who  knows  what  the  changes  of  more 
than  three  thousand  years  may  have  effected  j 
and  thus  we  again  allow  tradition  its  sway,  and 
are  satisfied  with  the  name  of  •  The  Rock  of 
Moses."

FiiANKroRT — The  Gymnasium,  (College)  is 


Extraordinary  Case  of  St.  Martin. 


It  has  Ion;r  been  a  desideratum  of  science  to 
be  able  to  watch  the  operations  of  the  diges- 
tive organs  of  man.  Ihit  to  arrive  at  such 
knowlelgc  appeared  impossible,  as  there  is  no 
means  of  experimentalising  on  the  human  body, 
and  from  a  dead  organism  no  information 
could  be  received.  At  la.st,  as  if  providentially, 
the  following  case  opened  a  field  for  investiga- 
tion, from  which  scicnci!  has  been  able  to  reap 
.consMfirabk-  advantage.  AVc  introduce  this- 
subject  to  our  readers  for  practical  purposes, 
as  will  bceome  apparent  from  some  future  ninn 
ber.s  of  our  publication,  though,  no  doubl,  this 
article  will  prove  interesting  to  these  who 
never  heard  of  the  case. 

I)r  Hcdumont,  while  stationed  at  Michili- 
maekinac,  in  the  Michigan  territory,  in  182'_'. 
in  the  military  service  of  the  United  States, 
wa*!  called  upon  to  take  charge  of  Ale-xis  St. 
Martin,  a  young  Canadian  of  eighteen  year.sof 
age,  good  constitution  and  robust  health,  who 
was  accidentally  wounded  by  the  discha''gc  of 
a  musket  on  the  6th  of  June,  1822. 

"  'I'hc  charge,"  says  Dr.  IJeaumont,  "  consi^. 
ling  of  powder  and  duck-shot  was  received  in 
the  left  side,  at  the  distance  of  one  yard  from 
the  rouz/lc  of  the  gun.  The  contents  entered 
posteriorly,  and  in  an  oblique  direction,  for- 
ward and  inward  ;  literally  blowing  off  integu- 
ments and  muscles  to  the  size*  of  a  man's 
band,  fracturing  and  carrying  away  the  exte- 
rior bwlf  of  the  sixth  rib,  fracturing  the  fifth, 
loceruting  the  lower  portion  of  the  left  lobe  of 
the  lungs,  the  diaphragm,  and  perforating  the 
btomach." 

On  I  he  fifth  day  sloughing  took  place  ;  lacc- 
rnted  portions  of  the  lung  and  the  stomach 
separated,  and  left  a  perforation  into  the  latter, 
large  enough  to  admit  the  whole  length  of  the 
middle  finger  into  its  cavity  ;  and  also  a  pas- 
cage  into  the  chest  half  aa  large  as  the  fist. 
V  iolent  fever,  and  farther  sloughing  ensued; 
and  for  seventeen  days  every  thing  swallowe<l 
passed  out  through  the  wound,  and  the  patient 
was  kept  alive  chiefly  by  nourishing  injections. 
By  and  by  the  fever  subsided,  the  wound  im- 
proved in  appearance,  and,  after  the  fourth 
week  the  appetite  became  good,  digestion  regu- 
lar,the  evacuations  natural,  and  the  heatlh  of 
the  system  complete.  The  orifice  however,  nev- 
er closed  ,  and  at  every  dressing  the  contents 
of  the  stomach  flowed  out,  and  its  coats  fre- 
quently became  evcrte<l  or  protruded,  so  far  as 
to  equal  in  size'an  hen's  egg,  but  they  were  al- 
ways easily  returne*!. 

Some  months  after,' St.  Martin  sulTored  ex- 
tremely from  ihc  death  and  exfoliation  of  por- 
tions of  the  injured  ribs  and  their  cartilages, 
and  his  life  was  often  in  jeopardy;  but  through 
the  skill  and  unremitting  care  with  which  he 
was  treated  by  Dr.  Beaumont,  he  ultimately 
recovered,  and  in  April,  1822,  was  going  about, 
doing  light  work  and  rapidly  regaining  his 
etrength. 

On  the  6th  June,  1823,  a  year  from  the  date 
of  the  accident,  the  injured  pvrts  were  all 
8oaDd,  except  the  perforatioD  into  the  stomach, 
which  was  now  two  and  a-half  inches  in  cir- 


completely  to  prevent  any 

but  to  admit  cf  being  easily  pushed  back   by 

the  finger  from  without. 

Here,  then,  was  an  adm'rable  opportunity 
for  experimentii)g  ou  the  subject  of  digestion, 
and  for  observing  the  henhhy  and  undisturbed 
operations  of  nature  free  from  the  agony  of 
vivisections,  and  from  the  sources  of  fallacy  in- 
separable from  operating  on  animals.  D'. 
Beaumont  was  sensible  of  its  value,  and  aicurd 
ingly  pursued  bis  inquiries  with  the  most  praise- 
worthy perseversncc  and  disinterestedness. 

Dr.  Beaumont  begHU  h's  experim''nt8  in 
May,  1825  and  continued  them  for  four  or  five 
month'',  St.  Martin  being  then  in  high  health. 
In  the  autumn  St.  Martin  leturncd  to  Canada 
married,  had  a  family,  worked  hard,  eng8ge<l 
as  a  voyageur  with  the  Hudson's  Bay  Fur 
C'  mpany,  remained  there  four  ye  irs,  and  was 
then  engaged,  at  a  great  expcrs'.  by  Dr. 
Beauni'  nt  to  come  and  reside  near  him  on  Vif 
Mississippi,  for  the  purpose  of  enabling  h'm  to 
complete  his  investigations.  He  came  accord- 
ingly in  August,  1829,  and  remained  till 
March,  1831 .  He  then  went  a  second  time  to 
Canada,  but  returnelTto  Dr.  Beaumont  in  iNo- 
vemlicr,  1832,  when  the  experiments  were  once 
more  resumed,  and  continmd  till  March,  1833, 
at  which  time  he  finally  left  Dr.  B.uumont. 
He  afterwards  enjoyed  perfect  health,  but  the 
or'fice  made  by  the  wound  remjinsin  the  same 
statt!  as  in  1 824. 

When  the  stomach  was  nearly  empty,  he 
was  able  to  examine  its  cavity  to  the  depth  of 
ef  five  or  six  inches,  by  artificial  distention, 
when  it  was  entirely  empty,  the  stomach  was 
always  contracted  on  itself,  and  the  valve  gen- 
erally forced  through  the  orifice,  together  with 
a  portion  of  the  mucous  mcmbiane  equal  in 
bulk  to  a  hen's  egg.  After  sleeping  for  a  few 
hours  on  the  left  s*ide,  the  protruded  portion 
became  so  much  l.irger  as  to  spread  over  the 
neighboring  intt  guments  five  or  six  inches  in 
circumfeiencc,  fairiy  exhibiting  the  natural 
ruga,  villous  membrane,  and  mucous  coat,  li- 
ning the  gastric  cavity.  This  appiarance  was 
almost  invariably  exhibited  in  the  morning  be- 
fore rising  from  bed.  Such  were  the  numerous 
opportunities  which  he  enjoyed  for  repeating 
them  and  verifying  their  accuracy. 

New  Rates  of  Portage  to  Foreign  Countries. 

The  Postmaster  General  has  just  issued  a 
new  table  of  instructions  to  Postmasters,  in 
which  he  fixes  the  rate  of  single  letters  of  half 
an  ounce,  or  under,  to  Great  Britain  at  24 
cents. 

Ditto  to  any  part  of  Germany,  by  closed 
mail,  30  cents. 

Ditto  to  most  parts  of  Germany  by  the  Bre- 
men line  direct,  15  cents. 

Ditto  for  quarter  ounce  letters  to  Germany, 
via  France,  21  cents. 

Ditto  for  quarter  ounce  letters  to  any  part 
of  France,  or  Algeria,  15  cents. 

I're-payment  optional  in  all  cases. 

The  rates  of  letters  to  Canada,  and  the  other 
British  North  American  provinces  is  10  cents, 
prepayment  optional. 

The  following  instructions  in  regard  to  print- 
.ed  matter  will  be  useful  to  many  of  our  readers: 

"  Newspapers  and  periodicals  published  in 
the  United  States,  and  sent  to  regular  subscri- 
bers in  the  British  North  American  provinces, 
or  published  in  those  provinces  and  sent  to 
regular  subscribers  in  the  United  States,  are 
chargable  with  the  regular  pre-paid  quarterly 
postage  rates  of  the  United  States,  to  and 
from  the  line,  which  postage  must  be  collected 
at  the  office  of  mailing  in  the  United  States  on 
matter  sent,  and  at  the  office  of  delivery  in  the 
United  States  on  matter  received.  In  like 
manner,  such  matter,  if  transient,  is  chargeable 
with  the  regular  domestic  transient  printed 
matter  rates  to  and  from  the  line,  to  be  collect- 
ed at  the  office  of  mailing  or  delivery  in  the 
United  States,  as  the  case  may  be.  Editors, 
however,  may  exchange  free  of  expense."

to  b.)  opened  daily  with  prayers  in  German 
et  Latin  composed  by  the  Director;  they 
were  laid  before  the  different  U  achers  of  Relig- 
ion for  approval— the  Jewish  t<  acher  propose 
some  omissions  that  were  not  appropriate  for 
his  creed,  which  was  granted. 

London.— The  court  of  Aldermen,  and  Com- 
mon Council,  have  unanimously  resolved,  in 
their  session  on  the  last  of  April,  to  serve  a  pe- 
tition to  the  new  parliament  for  the  full  extent 
of  equal  rights,  to  the  Jews  of  Great  Britain. 

It  must  bo  observed,  (to  the  Christian  reader) 
that  Baron  Rolhshiid  has  now  for  the  fourth 
time  been  elected  member  of  parliament  for  the 
city  of  liondon,  but  has  hitherto  not  been  able 
to  take  his  seat  in  consequence  of  the  oath  of 
office  which  closes  "by  the  faith  of  a  christan," 
which  the  Baron  could  not  conscientiously  take; 
T'he  city  is  determined  to  persist  in  the  re-elec- 
tion to  show  that  in  politics,  creeds  have  noth 
ng  to  interfere. 

The  English  pr.  ss  has  rendered  the  coarse  of 
"  progres'^  every  support.  Greenwich  would  un- 
questionably  have  elected  Alderman  Bolonians 
(the  late  Lord  mayor  of  London)  as  their  mem 
ber  had  he  not  deciedly  declined  it.  Even  at 
the  late  meeting  oftbe  London  Mis.'sionary  Soci- 
ety, the  hope  of  an  early  equalization  (improp- 
erly called  emancipation)  wus  pronounced. 

p^R,9 — The  approximate  number  of  Jews  in 
Paris  amounts  to  about  17000,  that  is  one  Jew 
out  of  every  480  inhabitants. 

It  speaks  considerably  in  favor  cf  the  Jew. 
ish  intellect  and  moral  standing,  that  n«t  with- 
standing, such  a  ditjproportion  in  1848  the  high 
positions  of  Minister  of  Finance  aud  of  Justic  . 
were  occupied  by  Jews. 


NEW  ADVERTISEMENTS. 


Mirth  is  short  and  transi.nt,  cbeerfulnes4 
fixed  and  permanent.  They  are  often  raised 
into  the  greatest  transports  of  mirth  who  are 
subject  to  the  greatest  depressions  of  melan-

does  not  give  the  mind  such  an  exquisite  glad-

sorrow.  Mirth  is  like  a  flush  of  lightning,  that 
breaks  through  a  gloom  of  clouds,  and  glitters 
for  a  moment;  checrfulne-s  keeps  up  a  kind  of 
day-light  in  the  mind,  and  fills  it  with  a  steady 
and  perpetual  strenity.

BTOGRAPHYa 

Caspar  Hauser. 

The  foilowing  .ketch   of  this  extraordinary   and  lll-fUled 
youth  i»  extracted  from  an  account  given  of  him  by  An- 
Mliu  Van  reuerbach,  Prwidwit  of  one  of  tlio  Bavarian 
,...  ^>n.  of  aupeal-tranaHted  by  H.  G.  Unberg. 
[COHTINDICD  raOM  P.  198.) 

Od  my  requesting  Caspar  to  look  out  at  the 
window  upon  an  exleneive  prospect  of  a  beau- 
tiful  landscape,  which  presented  itself  in  all 
the  glory  of  a  summer,  he  obeyed,  but  instant- 
ly drtiw  back  with  horror,  exclaiming  "  ugly! 
agly!"     This  singular   and   disagrteable  ef- 
fect produced  upon  bis  vision,  he  explained  to 
me  in  1831,  by  remarking,  that  the  landscape 
upon  which  he  looked,  then  appeared  to  him 
like  a  window  shutter,  placed  close  to  his  eyes, 
upon  which  a  wall  painter  had  spattered  the 
contents  of  his  different  brushes,   filled   with 
white,  blue,  yellow  and  red  paint,  all  mingled 
together ;    for  at  that  time  he  had  not  learned 
by  experience   to  distinguish   single  object* 
from  each  other,  nor  their   various  distances 
uiid  magnitudes  ;  but  the  disagreeable  parti- 
colored shutter  appeared  to  come  close  up  be- 
fore him  in  such  a  manner  as  to  prevent|  his 
looking  out  into  the  open  air.     He  also  re- 
maiked,  that  for  some  time,  he  could  not  dis- 
tingaish  by  the  eye  alone,  those  objects  which 
weic  really  round,  square,  or  triangular,  from 
tiiC  representation  of  .-uch  objects  in  a  painting. 
Men,  horses  and  other  animals  represented  in 
pictures,  appeared  to  him,  as  it  regarded  their 
roundne.'ss  or  flatness,  precisely  like  the  same, 
carved  in  wood.    Their  real  dilFerence,  howev- 
er, by  the  assistance  of  the  sense  of  feeling,  he 
soon  learned,  whilst  engaged  in   packing   aud 
unpacking  his  toys  and  trinkets.     In  short,  all 
llie  phenomena  of  sight  displayed  by  the  young 
man  who  was  couched  by  Dr.  Chuselden,  and, 
indeed,  many  more,  or,  in  other  words,  all  the 
wonderful  phenomena  which  could  be  revealed 
by  an  infant,  supposing  it  could  be  enabled  to 
explain  them,  whilst  learning  to  apply  the  or- 
gan of  vision,  were  illustrated  in  Caspar. 

On  the  18th  of  July,  Caspar  was  released 
from  his  abode  in  the  tower,  and  took  up  his 
residence  in  the  family  of  professor  Daumer. 
with  this  worthy  gentleman  he  soon  learned  to 
sleep  in  a  bed,  and  by  degrees  to  partake  of 
common  food.  The  former  caused  him,  for  the 
first  time,  to  have  dreams,  which,  until  other- 
wise instructed,  he  looked  upon  as  real  trans- 
actions. 

The  following  observations  concerning  this 
wonderful  youth,  are  taken  from  the  notes  of 
Mr.  Daumer.  After  he  had  learned  to  eat 
meat,  his  mental  vi^  or  was  abated;  his  eyes 
I  lost  their  brilliancy  ;  his  unconquerable  pro- 
pensity to  constant  activity  was  diminished  ; 
the  intense  application  of  bis  mind  gave  way  to 
absence  and  indififercnce  and  the  quickness  of 
his  apprehension  ytas  also  lessened.  His  change 
ofdiet,  bad,  likewise,  so  great  an  effect  upon 
his  groN»th,  that,  in  a  few  weeks,  he  increased 
more  than  two  inches  in  height. 

By  being  occasionally  emplojed  in  easy  gar- 
den work,  Caspar  became  more  and  more  ac- 
quainted with  the  productions,  phenomena,  and 
powers  of  nature,  which,  while  it  tended  great- 
ly to  increase  his  stock  of  knowledge,  constant- 
ly excited  in  him  feelings  of  wonder  and  admi- 
ration ;  but  it  required  no  little  pains  to  cor- 
rect his  mistakes,  and  teach  him  the  difference 
between  things  organic,  and  such  things  as 
are  not  orgAnized,  between  things  animate  and 
inanimate,  and  between  voluntary  motion  and 
that  which  is  communicated  from  external  can 
ses.    Many  things  which  bore  the  form  of  men 
or  animals  though  cut  in  stone,  carved  in  wood, 
or  painted,  be  would  still  conceive  to   be  ani- 
mated, and  ascribe  to  them  such  qualities  as  he 
perceived  to  exist  in  animated  beings.     It  ap- 
peared strange  to  him  that  the  figures  of  hor- 
Hes,  unicorns,  ostriches,  and   so  fortk,   which 
were  either  carved  or  painted  upon  the  walls 
of  houses,  remained  always  stationary.     He 
wondered  that  they  did  not  run  away.    He  ex- 


pressed his  indignation  against  a  statue  in  the 
garden,  because  when  very  dirty  it  did  not 
wash  itself.  When,  for  the  first  time,  he  saw 
the  great  erucifix  ou  the  outside  of  the  church 
of  St.  Sebaldus,  the  view  affected  him  with  deep 
sympathy  and  horror.  He  earnestly  entreated 
>at  the  man  who  was  ao  dreadfnlly  tormented

might  be  taken  down  ;  nor  could  he,  for  a  long 
time  be  pacified,  although  it  was  explained  to 
him,  that  it  was  not  a  real  man,  but  merely  an 
image,  which  felt  nothing. 

Every  motion  he  observed  to  take  place  in 
any  object,  he  conceived  to  be  voluntary,  or  a 
spontaneous  eff.ct  of  life.     When  a  sheet  of 
paper  was  blown  down  from  the  table  by  the 
wind,  he  thought  that  it  had  run   away.     On 
seeing  a  childs  wagon  rolling  down  a  hill,  it 
was  in  his  opinion,   making  an  excursion   to 
amuse  itsf^lf.     He  supposed  a  tree  manifested 
its  life  by  the  waving  of  its  branches,  and  the 
motion  of  its  leaves  ;  and  its  voice  was  heard  in 
the  rustling  of  its  leaves  when  they  are  moved 
by  the  wind.      He  severely  rebuked  a  boy  for 
striking  a  tree  with  a  stick,  and  causing  it,  as 
he  said,  unne-'t  s^ary  pain.    The  balls  of  a  nine 
pin  alley,  he  conceived,  ran  voluntarily  along, 
and,    moreover,  hurt  other  balls  when   they 
struck  aga'nst  them  and  when  they  stopped,  it 
wds  because   they  were   tired.     He   was  at 
length  convinced  that   a  humming  top,  which 
he  had  long  been  spin-.iing,  did  not  move  TOl- 
untarily,  only  by  finding  that,  after  frequently 
winding  np  the   cord,   his  arm  begAtj  to  paUv- 
liini— being  thus   sensibly  convinced,  that  he 
had  communicated  the  power  which  caused  it 
to  move. 

But  to  animals,  particularly,  for  a  long 
time  lie  ascribed  the  same  properties  as  to  men, 
and  appeared  to  distinguish  the  one  from  the 
other  only  by  the  difference  in  their  external 
form.  He  was  angry  with  a  cat  for  taking  its 
food  with  its  mouth,  without  ever  employing 
its  hands  for  that  purpose.  He  wished  to 
teach  it  to  use  its  paws  in  eating,  and  to  set 
upright.  He  spoke  to  it  as  to  a  rational  be- 
ing, and  expre^•sed  great  indignation  at  its  un- 
wilfingness  to  attend  to  what  be  said,  and  to 
learn  from  him  :  but  he  once  highly  commend- 
ed the  obedience  of  a  particular  dog.  On  see- 
ing some  oxen  lying  down  in  the  street,  he 
wondered  why  they  did  not  go  home  and  lie 
down  there.  When  it  was  told  him,  that  such 
things  could  not  be  expected  from  animals, 
which  knew  no  better,  he  replied,  "  Then  they 
ought  to  learn  :  there  are  many  things,  which 
I,  also,  am  obliged  to  Itarn." 

He  had  not  the  least  conception  of  the  ori- 
ein  and  growth  of  any  of  the  productions  of 
nature,  but  imagined  that  trees,  plants,  leaves 
and  flowers,  and  the  like,  were  the  workman- 
ship of  hum^n  hands.  This  mistake  was  cor 
reeled  by  the  preceptor's  causing  him  to  plant 
some  beans,  and  afterwards  to  notice  how  they 
germinated,  and  produced  leaves  and  fruit.

How  TO  Clran  Sponges.— a  good  sponge 
ia  rather  expensive,  and  being  a  very  useful  ar- 
ticle in  cleansing  the  skin,  and   preferred   by 
surgeons  to  any  other  material  for  that  pur- 
pose, it  is  important  how  to  clean  them.   They 
•soon' become  greasy  when  used  with  soap  on  the 
skin,  and  are  thrown  aside  as  useless  before 
half  worn  out.    The  following  method  of  clean, 
ing  them    is  simple:    The  peculiar  cellular 
fibrous  tissue  of  sponge  enables  it  to  decompose 
the  soap,  retaining  the  grease  and  oil,  which 
render  it  slimy,  when  such  is  the  case,  a  ley  of 
soda  should  be  prepared,  of  the  strength   of 
half  a  pound  of  soda  to  half  a  gallon  of  water, 
and  the  sponge  placed  to  soak  in  it  for  twenty 
four  hours  ;  it  should  then  be  washed  and  well 
rinsed  in  spring  water,  and  afterwards  in  water 
containing  a  little  muriatic  acid,  (a  wine-glass 
of  the  acid  to  half  a  gallon  of  water  is  strong 
enough.)     Finally,  again  rinse  the  sponge  m 

plenty  of  spring  water.

Come  coldly  on  the  brightness  of  those  hours. 
And  from  them  all  I  can  but  sigh  for  thee. 


At  Smyrna,  the  burial  ground  of  the  Arme- 
nians, like  that  of  the  Moslem,  is  a  short  dis- 
tance from  the  town.  It  is  planted  with  greeu 
trees,  and  ia  a  favorite  resort,  not  only  with 
the  bereaved,  but  those  whose  feelings  are  not 
darkly  overcast.  I  met  there  one  morning  a 
little  girl  with  a  half  playfal  countenance, 
busy  blue  eye,  and  sunny  locks,  bearing  in  one 
hand  a  cup  of  china,  and  in  the  other  a  wreath 
of  fresh  flowers.  Feeling  a  natural  curiosity 
to  know  what  she  would  do  with  the  bright 
things  in  such  a  place,  that  seemed  to  partake 
80  much  of  sadness;  I  watched  her  light  mo- 
tions. Reaching  a  retired  grave,  covered  with 
a  plain  marble  slab,  she  emptied  the  seed— 
which  it  appeared  the  cap  contained — into  the 
slight  cavities  which  had  been  scooped  out  in 
the  corners  of  the  level  table,  and  laid  out  the 
wreath  on  its  pure  face. 

"  And  why,"  I  enquired,  "  my  sweet  girl  do 
you  put  seed  in  th  jse  little  bowls  there  ?" 

"  It  is  to  bring  the  birds  there,"  she  replied, 
with  a  half  wondering  look  ;  "they  will  light 
on  this  tree  when  they  have  eaten  seed  and 
sing." 

"  To  whom  do  they  sing— to  you  or  each 

other?" 

"  Ob,  no,"  she  replied  ;  "  to  my  sister— «he 
Bleeps  here." 

"  But  your  sister  is  dead.' 

"  .Oh,  yes,  sir  ;  but  she  hears  the  birds  sing." 

"  Well,  if  she  does  hear  the  birds  sing,  she 
cannot  see  the  wreath  of  flowers." 

"But  she  knows  I  put  it  th«re.  I  told  her 
before  they  took  her  away  from  our  house,  I 
would  come  and  see  her  every  morning." 

"  Yon  must,"  I  continued,  have  loved  that 
sister  very  much  ;  but  you  will  never  talk  with 
her  any  more — never  see  her  again." 

"Yes,  sir,"  she  replied,  with  a  brightened 
look, "  I  shall  see  her  in  heaven." 

"  But  she  has  gone  to  heaven  already,  I 

trust." 

"  No,  she  stops  under  this  tree  till  they  bring 
me  here,  and  then  we  are  going  to  heaven  to- 
gether." 

The  swwtest  revenge  is  to  do  good  to  our 
enemies.  >

The  manners  and  customs  of  this  remarkable 
race  are,  in  general,  highly  interesting.  No 
people  on  the  whole  globe  affords  a  more  stri- 
king instance  of  primeval  simplicity  and  sta- 
stability  of  manners,  than  the  Arabs.  Their 
domestic  habits  at  once  give  us  a  picture  of 
the  domestic  state  of  attiirs  of  the  post  delu- 
vian  ages.  Though  among  all  nations  they 
have  wandered  farthest  over  the  globe,  yet,  in 
all  their  wanderings  they  have  preserved  their 
language,  manners  and  peculiar  customs,  more 
perfectly  than  any  other  race ;  these  facta  af- 
ford us  so  many  points  of  illustration  of  scrip- 
ture of  considerable  moment.  Bot  we  at  this 
time,  will  confine  ourselves  to  those  tribes  who 
inhabit  the  Sinai,  in  whom  the  Arabian  life  of 
the  whole  tribe,  is  in  a  measure  represented 
They  are  one  of  the  most  interesting  sub- 
jects. They  live  an  easy,  happy  life,  do  not 
wear  themselves  out  by  cares  and  anxiety  to 
senseless  demands  of  vanity  and  luxury.  They 
.  are  full  of  glee  and  animation,  though  very 
poor.  We  quote  the  author  of  Incidents  and 
Travels. 


We  were  moving  along  a  broad  valley  .bound- 
ed by  ranges  of  lofty  and  crumbling  mountains, 
forming  an  immense  rocky  rampart  on  each  side  i 
of  us;  and  rjcky  and  barren  as  these  moan.  : 
tains  seemed,  on  their  tops  were  gardens  which 
produced  oranges,  dates,  and  figs  in  great  abun- 
dance.    Here  on  heights  almost  inaccessible  to 
any  but  the  children  of  the  desert,  the  Bedouin 
pitches  his  tent,  pastures  his  sheep  and  goats^ 
and  gains  the  slender  subsistence  necessary  for 
himself  and  family  ;  and  often,  looking  up  the 
bare  side  of  the  mountuin,  we  could  see  on  its 
sammit's  edge  the  wild  figure  of  a  half-naked 
Arab,  with  hia  long  matchlock  gun  in  his  hand, 
!  watching  the  movement  of  our  little  caravan. 
Sometimes,  too,  the  eye  rested  upon  the  form 
of  a  woman  stealing  across  the  valley,  not  a 
traveller  or  a  passer-by,  but  a  dweller  in  the 
land  where  no  smoke  curled  from  the  domestic 
hearth,  and  no  sign  of  habitation  was  percepti- 
ble.   There  was  something  very  interesting  to 
me  in  the  greetings  of  my  companions  with  the 
other  young  men  of  their  tribe.    TLey  were 
just  returning  from  a  journey  to  Cairo,  an  event 
in  the  life  of  a  young  Bedouin  :  and  they  were 
bringing  a  stranger  from  a  land  that  none  of 
them  had  overheard  of;  yet   their    greeting 
had  the  coldness  of  frosty  age  and  the  reserve 
of  strangers;  twice  they  would  gently  touch  the 
palms  of  each  other's  hands,  mutter  a  few  words, 
and  in  moment  the  welcomers  were  again  climb 
'ng  to  their  tents.    One,  I  remember,  greeted 


us  more  warmly  and  staye<l  longer  among  **•• 
He  wuH  by  profession  a  beggar  or  robber,  as 
occasion  required,  and  wanted  something  from 
us,  but  it  was  not  much  ;  merely  some  bread  and 
a  charge  of  powder.  Not  far  from  the  track 
we  saw,  hanging  on  a  thorn  bush,  the  black 
cloth  of  a  Bedouin's  tent,  with  the  polo,  ropes, 
pegs,  and  everything  necessary  to  convert  it 
into  a  habitation  for  a  family.  It  had  been 
there  six  months;  the  owner  had  gone  to  a 
new  pasture-ground,  and  there  it  had  hung,  and 
there  it  would  hang,  sacred  and  untouched,  until 
he  returned  to  claim  it.  "  It  belongs  to  one  ot 
our  tribe,  and  cursed  be  the  baud  that  touches 
it,"  ia  the  feeling  of  every  Bedouin.  Uncoun- 
ted gold  might  be  exposed  in  the  same  way; 
and  the  poorest  Bedouin,  though  a  robber  by 
birth  and  profession,  would  pass  by  and  touch 
it  not. 

On  the  very  summit  of  the  mountain,  appa" 
reutly  ensconced  behind  it  aa  a  wall,  hi'^  body 
not  more  thau  half  visible,  a  Bedouin  was  look- 
ing down  upon  us  ;  and  one  of  my  party,  who 
had  long  kept  his  face  turned  that  way,  told  me 
that  there  was  the  tent  of  his  father.     I  talked 
with  him  about  his  kindred  and  mountain  home, 
not  expecting,  however  to  discover,  anything  of 
extraordiuary  interest  or  novelty.    The  sons  of 
Ishmael  have  ever  been  the  same,  iuhabitanta 
of  the  desert,   despising  the  dwellers  under  a 
roof,  wanderers  and  wild  men  from  their  birth^ 
with  their  hands  against  every  man,  and  every 
man's  hand  agaiuat  them.    "  There  is  blood  be- 
tween us,"  says  the  Bedouin  when  he  meeta  in 
the  desert  one  of  a  tribe,  by  some  individual  of 
which  an  ancestor  of  his  owu  was  killed,  per' 
haps  a  hundred  years  before.     And  then  they 
draw  their  swordp,  and  a  new  account  of  blood 
is  opened,  to  be  handed  down  as  a  legacy  to 
their  children.     "  Thy  aant  wants  thy  purs«," 
aays  the  Bedouin  when  he  meets  the  Jtranger 
travelling  through  his  wild  d.smaiu.     "  The  des- 
ert is  ours,  and  evury  man  who   passes  over  it 
must  pay  us  a  tribute."      These  principal  and 
diatioguishing  traits  of  the   B  douiu  character 
have  long  been  known  ;  but  as  I  had  now  been 
with  them  ten  days,  and  expected  to  be  with 
them  a  month  longer,  to  see  them  in  their  tents, 
and  be  thrown  among  different  tribes,  claiming 
friendship  from  those  who  were  enemies  to  eaab 
other,  I  was  curious  to  know  something  of  the 
lighter  shades,  the  details  of  their  lives  and 
habita ;  and  I  listened  with  exce«diDg  interest 
while  the  young  Bedouin,  with  his  eyes  con- 
stantly  fixwl  upon  it,  told  me  that  for  more 
thau  four  hundred  years  the  tent  of  his  father 
had  been  in  that  mountain.     Wild  and  unset, 
tied,  robbers  and  plunders  as  they  aro,  they

KMIU.INO. 

Of  the  beautif!'  of  Dsture,  for  a  lont'  time  h« 
had  no  idea  ;  nor  did  they  sofitn  of.hrrwiHO  to 
interest  him  than  merely  to  excitfl  his  carios'ty 
to  know  who  made  such  and  mich  thii  g«.  Yet 
there  wae  one  view  prrsented  to  him,  which 
formed  a  remarkable  exception  to  the  trath  of 
th'8  observation,  and  whicli  otiglit  to  bo  regard 
cJ  uH  on  important  and  never-to-be-forgotten 
incident  in  the  gradual  development  of  his  in 
tellectnal  faculties.  It  was  on  a  fine  Rnmnier 
evuoiog  in  the  month  of  August,  182'J,  that 
bifl  instructor  showed  him,  for  the  first  time, 
the  starry  heavens.  His  astonishment  and 
transport  at  the  sight,  transcended  all  bounds, 
and  surpassed  description.  He  could  not  be 
satisfied  with  looking  and  gazing  at  the  sub- 
lime spectacle:  at  the  s;ime  time  he  fixed  accu- 
rately with  his  eye,  the  dilf  rr-nt  gronjw  of  stars 
that  were  pointed  out  to  hiin,  noticed  those 
most  distinguished  for  their  brightness,  and  r^- 
marked  the  difference  in  their  respective  col- 
ors. "This,"  he  exclaimed, "is,  indeed,  the 
0iobI  beautiful  and  mugnificeut  sight  I  have 
ever  b«beld  in  the  world.  But  who  placed  all 
those  beautiful  candles  there?  who  lights  them? 
who  pats  them  out  ?"  were  the  interroeatorits 
which  burst  from  his  enraptured  soul.  When 
lie  was  infornud,  that,  like  the  sun,  with  which 
be  had  been  for  some  time  acquainted,  they  al- 
ways remain  there  to  give  light  by  night,  he 
was  etii:  not  satisfied,  but  eagerly  demanded 
agaiij,  who  had  made  and  hung  them  up  on 
high,  Ihat  they  m'ght  thus  illumino  that  spa- 
cioae  vault; — for,  as  yet,  he  had  rot  formed  a 
JQBt  idea  of  that  Heing  who  made  all  things, 
who  "  rules  the  heavenly  hott,"  and  "  calls 
the  stars  by  name."  A  i  length,  alter  standing 
motionless  for  some  time,  he  fell  into  a  train 
of  profound  meditation.  On  recovering  from 
this  reverie,  his  transport  was  siccceded  by 
deep  sadness.  lie  sank  pale  and  trembling  up. 
on  a  chair,  and  asked,  "  why  that  wicked  man 
who  had  kept  him  in  solitary  confinement  had 
kept  him  always  locked  up — him  who  had  nev- 
er done  any  harm— and  had  never  shown  him 
»ny  of  these  beautiful  things." 

Caspar  was  soon  after  put  under  care  of  a  ri- 
ding-master; in  which  situation,  in  the  delight- 
ful and  noble  accomplishment  of  horsemanship, 
he  soon  greatly  excelled.  3ut  besides  bis  ex- 
traordinary equestrian  talents,  the  striking  pe- 
ouliirity,  the  almost  preternatural  acn'cnoss. 
and  intensity  of  his  perceptions,  as  evinced  in 
the  power  of  hi-*  senses,  appeared  so  rcmarka- 
ble  and  wonderful  in  him  as  to  elicit  the  admi- 
ration and  astonishment  of  all. 

Ab  to  his  sight,  there  existed,  in  respect  to 
bim,  uo  twilight,  no  uight,  no  darkness.  ITav- 
iag  lived  all  his  days  in  the  dsrk,  his  eyes  could 
discern  objects  in  the  dark  as  in  full  daylight. 
He  reveled  continually  in  an  ocean  of  light. 
One  hnclondcd  day  shone  perpetually  on  his 
visual  orb.  lie  often  looked  with  astonishment 
upon  others  who  were  compelled  to  grope  their 
way  in  the  dark,  or  to  nsca  candle  or  lantern. 
In  twilight,  however,  he  could  see  far  belter 
than  b  broad  day-light.  Thus,  after  sunset, 
be  ouoe  read  the  number  of  a  house  at  the  dis- 
tance of  one  hundred  and  eighty  paces,  which, 
in  daJ^'tC^^  ^^  ^^  not  able  to  distinguish  so 
far  ofl.  To'^ards  the  close  of  twilight,  he 
oooe  pointed  out  to  bis  instructor,  a  gnat  that 
was  banging  in  a  spider's  web  very  distant. 
At  a  distance  of  sixty  pace."!,  he  could  distin- 
goisb,  in  the  dark,  elder-berries  from  black  cnr. 
rants.    In  a  totally  dark  night,  he  could  distin< 


guish  from  each  other,  the  different  dark  coU 
ors,  iuch  as  blue  and  green.  When,  at  the 
commencement  of  twilight,  a  common  eye 
could  not  perceive  more  than  three  or  four 
stars  in  the  sky,  he  could  discern  the  different 
groups,  and  distinguish,  from  each  other,  the 
several  single  stars  of  which  the  groups  were 
composed,  according  to  their  magni'udes,  and 
the  peculiarities  of  their  colored  light.  In  did- 
tinguishing  objects  near  by,  his  sight  was  as 
sharp  as  it  was  penetrating  in  diseeruing  them 
at  B  distance.  In  anatomizing  plants,  ho  often 
noticed  subtile  diatin.tions  and  delicate  parti- 
cles which  had  entirely  escaped  the  observation 

of  others. 

But  no  loss  wonderful  was  the  acutcnoFS  of 
his  hearing.  When  taking  a  walk  in  the  field.';, 
he  once  beard,  at  a  distance  comparatively 
very  great,  the  footsteps  of  several  persons, 
and  was  able  to  disliuguish  them  from  c^ich 
other  by  their  tread. 

Of  all  his  senses,  however,  that  which  proved 
the  most  extraordinary,  and  which  gave  him 
so  many  disagreeable  and  painful  senpalions,  as 
frequently  to  make  him  miserable,  wa«  the 
sense  of  smelling.  What  to  ordinary  olfacto- 
ries, is  entirely  scentless,  was  by  no  means  so 
to  his.  The  most  delightful  and  delicate 
odors  of  flowers,  such,  for  instance,  as  those 
imparted  by  the  rose,  were  perceived  by  him 
as  insupportable  stenches,  which  painfully  ef- 
fected tiirt  norvcH.  What  announces  itself  to 
others  by  its  smell  ontywhen  near,  was  srmtci 
by  him  at  a  great  distance.  Exc(  pting  the 
smell  of  bread,  of  fennel,  of  anise,  and  of  cara- 
way to  which  he  had  become  accustomed  in 
his  prison,  (for  there  it  appears,  his  bread  was 
seasoned  with  these  condiments,)  all  kinds  of 
smells  were  more  or  less  disagreeable  to  him: 
so  much  so,  that,  when  asked,  which  of  all 
smells  he  liked  V)est,  he  piqnantly  replied, 
"  none  at  all." 

His  walks  and  his  rides  were  often  rendered 
very  nnplensant  by  their  conducting  him  near 
flower  gardens,  tobacco  ficlda,  nut  trees,  and 
other  ordinary  shrubs  and  plants,  which  cffc-ct- 
ed  his  olfactory  nerves,  and  caused  him  to  pay 
dearly  for  his  recreations  in  the  open  air,  by 
their  inflicting  upon  him  headaclics,  cold 
sweats,  and  attacks  of  fever.  Tobacco  in  blos- 
som he  could  smell  at  the  distance  of  fifty  pa. 
CCS  ;  and  that  hung  up  to  dry,  one  hundred  pa- 
ces off.  He  could  distinguish  apple,  pear  and 
plu.n  trees  from  each  other  at  a  considerable 
d  stance  by  the  sniell  of  their  leaves.  The  dif- 
ferent coloring  materials  used  in  painting  and 
dying,  end  even  the  ink  and  pencil  with  which 
he  wrotfr— in  short,  all  things  around  him  waf- 
ted odours  to  his  nostrils  which  were  either 
unpleasant  or  painful  to  him.  The  smell  of 
old  chpese  sickened  him.  The  smell  of  vinegar , 
though  it  stood  at  soma  distance  from  him, 
would  bring  tears  into  his  eyes.  The  smell  of 
champagne  and  other  wines,  would  produce  a 
heat  in  his  head,  and  make  him  ill ;  but  of  all 
eroells  the  most  horrible  to  him,  was  that  of 
fresh  meat. 

In  the  antmnn  of  1828,  when  Caspar  was 
walking  with  professor  Daumer,  near  St. 
John's  churchyard,  the  smell  of  the  dead  bod- 
ies in  their  graves,  of  which  the  professor  had 
not  the  slightest  perception,  effected  him  so 
powerfully  that  be  was  immediately  seized 
with  an  ague.  This  was  soon  succeeded  by  a 
intense,  fevwish  heat,  which  at  length  broke 
oat  into  a  most  profuse  perspiration.  A  fler 
the  profuse  sweats  had  sub.sidcd,  he  felt  bettcri 
but  complained  that  his  sight  had  been  obscur- 
ed by  this  severe  attack.  Similar  effects  were 
once  experienced  by  him  after  walking  for  some 
time  near  a  tobacco  field. 

(to  BK  rONTINU 

ExcBWGOK. — The  Congregation  of  Exch- 
wcge  consecrated  lately  a  spot  for  a  burial 
ground.  The  old  one  is  supposed  as  monu- 
ments show,  to  have  been  in  use  about  1500 
years,  but  the  distance  from  the  city  and  other 
inconveniences  determined  the  people  to  make 
this  change  at  last.

ARM  AND  COLD  SEA  BATHS,  SWI1|,I 
MIN(;  BATI18,  and  all  kinds  of  M1NE8.I 
AL  and  ARTIFICIAL  BATHB  for  the  lai||l 

ON  MEIGG8'  WIIAEF I 

The  first  and  only  Sea  Bathing  establi«liiD(t|| 
ou  the  I'aoific  Ocean,  where  every  coiiveni(iii«J 
is  fonnd  io  the  latest  style,  for  the  acoomnio-j 
(Intiou  of  batheru  and  invalids.  I 

There  is  also  attached  a  Wi.ri»  Sea  Bath  furl 
Ladies  of  the  II«brew  faith,  where  they  cu| 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  which  iil 
connected  with  the  aca.  | 

This  inatitution  has  now  been  in  operatiuil 
one  year,  and  it  haa  not  only  eatiefied  the  ei.l 
pect'ations  of  the  public,  but  haa  far  excedtjl 
the  anticipations  of  the  proprietor.  Thethroii|l 
of  sufTerera  and  bathers  hag  increased  dailjl 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  facilities  bMil 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  in-l 
portant  improvements  have  been  made.  Ea«kl 
bather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  eto  li«| 
prouerly  cooled  and  rested.  I 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Bathe  ie  not  a  pallialivJ 
but  a  positive  rea.edy.  It  takes  the  disease i|j 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Iloa-j 
dreda  of  patients  who  have  used  these  batbil 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  (imiI 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  baffl«(l  illl 
other  remediea,  have  been  cured  by  the  nMfM 
these  baths  in  a  short  time.  I 

Evi-ry  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  IbcHl 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  toenumerate  thitj 
here.  I 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  E*tabli«b-I 
ment  is  a  HOTEL,  containing  a  great  mmjj 
rooms  elegantly  fitted  up  fjr  pitliebts  andbaUi.l 
ers,  and  where  they  can  lodge  and  reeei«l 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  Merchants  nil 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  fori 
business  or  on  account  of  sieknese,  should  B«t| 
fail  to  go  to  the 

Soa  Bath   Hotel, 

Before  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  masjj 
quacks  thatabound  in  San  Francisco.  I 

Ladies  and  Oentlemeu  patronizing  roy  esuk-l 
lishment  will  find  nealty  furnished  parler^l 
where  every  attention  will  be  paid;  and  ul 
bathers  the  utmost  eare  will  be  rendered  bjl 
polite  female  and  male  servants.  These  bsthJ 
m  connection  with  the  Sea'«Water  Douche  willl 
perform  wonders;  and  as  the  price  for  th«irl 
use,  and  lodgings  at  the  hotel,  ie  only  froal 
12  50  to  |5  per  day,  its  benefits  and  blesBinpP 
are  alike  accessible  to  the  poor  as  well  ae  iW 
rich.  L 

To  convince  the  people  of  California  thill 
there  is  no  hiimbuggery  about  the  ^n•tilutio^l 
I  will  append  one  of  my  carde  of  thanks  Ihitl 
have  \feca  sent  to  me  : 

San  FaANcwco,  10th  Nov.  186(1. 

I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  afflicted  l«rj 
many  months  with  severe    bodily  paint,  froal 
which  I  had   no   rest  by  day  or  by  night, 
consulted  several  eminent    physicians   in  Iku 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.     I   lost  all  mjl 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.    My  hu»b»«Jl 
thought  it  necessary   to  send  me  on   to  N««l 
York  to  try  a  cnro.    in  this  perplexity,  I  e»ll 
on  Dr.  Bruns,   who  ordered  me  to  take  meii-l 
cine  four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  whiekl 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.    Ithsnil 
the  Almighty  that  he  ha^  sent  rac  to  Dr.  BroB^ 
under  whose  core  I  became  healthy  and  rtrouM 
I  consider  it  my   duty    thus   publicly  to  miW 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  suflTereri^  know  thtil 
Dr.    Bruns  is  tho  man  to  relieve  them  of  tliei'| 
bodily  pain  aud  to  restore  them  to  health.

prise that  will  aid  in  improvinp;  our  religious 
state,  if  not  above,  at  least  to  an  equal  with 
other*.  And  since  California  i«  no  longer  con- 
sidered a  temporary  home,  whch  is  evinced  by 
the  constant  arrival  of  Jewish  families,  I  can 
see  no  cause  why  a  large  mining  district  can- 
not as  well  afford  a  etructare.  even  for  the  few 
days  we  are  celebrating,  aa  well  as  small  set- 
tlements, with  few  inhabitanta,  can  have  their 
church.  It  would  undoubtedly  improve  the 
religious  and  moral  state,  increase  sociability, 
and,  in  short,  would  bring  the  "Sons  of  Isra- 
el," acattered  as  they  are  :in  thia  State,  to  a 
closer  unity,  one  which  should  exist  among 
Jehoodism.

they  should  ever  require  our  support  in  simi-

ty ta  extend  thet"  liberal  aid,  should  it  even 
benefit  those  in  their  midst,  who  rather  than 
support  it  avoided  our  request.

(CO.VTINUKO    KBOM    PAtiE   21.1.] 

PC  laws  which  are  as  .sacred  as  our  own: 
and  liic  tent,  and  the  garden,  aud  the  little  pus 
turc-grouud  arc  trarsnittcd  from  father  to  son 
for  centuries.     I  htyyc  probablj  fogottcn  more 
that:    half    of    our  conversation  ;    but    I    rc- 
meuiber  he  told  me  that  all  the  sons  shared 
eqoal  ;  that  the  daughters  took  nothing  ;    that 
the  cliildren  lived  together  ;  that  if  any  broth- 
ere  go:  married,  the  property  must  be  divided; 
thai  if  any  difficulty  arose  on  the  division,  the 
man  who  worked  the  pincc  for  a  share  of  tlie 
profit-?    must  drridc  it ;  and,  Tagtly,"  TTiar  TTTe 
Bisters   must  remain  with  the  brothers  until 
they  dhe  sisters)  arc  married.     I  asked  him, 
if  the  brothers  did  not  choose  to  keep  a  sister 
with  thorn,  wl  at  became  of  her;  but  he  did 
not  understand  me.     I  repeated  the  ejucstioib 
but  uiill  he  did  not  comprehend  it,  and  looked 
to  hi^  companious  for  an  explanation.     And 
whei;,  at  last,  the  meaning  of  my  question  b - 
came  apparent  to  his  mind,  he  answered,  witb 
»  look  nf  wonder,  "  It  is  impossible— she  is  his 
own  olcod."     I  pressed  my  question  again  and 
again  in  various  forma,  suggesting  the  possibil- 
ity that  the  brothers  wife  might  dislike  the  sis" 
ter,  and  other  verv  supposable  cases  ;  but  it 
was  so  .strange  an  idea,  that  to  tlie  last  he  did 
not  fully  comprehend  it,  and  his  answer  was 
still  tlie  fame—"  It  is  .impossible— she  is  his 
own  blood."    I  asked  him  who  governeel  them! 
he  stretched  himself  up  and  answered   in  one 
word,  '•  God."     I  asked  him  if  they  paid  trib- 
ute to  the  pacha;  and  his  answer  was,  "  No 
we  take  tribute  from  him."    1  asked  him  how. 
"We  plunder  his  caravans."     I  asked  him,  if 
the  sheik  had  promised  a  stranger  to  conduct 
him  t'lirongh  his  territory,  whether  the  tribe 
would  not  consider  themselves  bound  by  hi*" 
promise.     He  said  no  ;  they    would  take  the 
eheik  apart,  ask  him  what  he  was  going  to  do 
with  the  strangsr  ;  how  much  he  was  going, to 
g«t ;  and,  if  they  were  satisGed,  would  let  him 
pnK'^ ;  otherwise  they  would  send    him  back  ; 
but  th-y  would  rc-spect  the  promise  of  the  sheik 
BO  fur  as  not  to  do  him   personal   injury.     In 
case  of  any  quarrel  or  ditference  between  mem- 
bers of  ii  tribe,  they  had  no  law   or  tribunal  to 
adjust  it ;  but  if  one  of  them  was  wcunded- 
and  he  spoke  as  If  this  was  the  regular  conse- 
qncnce  of  a  quarrel — upon  his  recovery  he  mado 
out  his  account,  charging  a  per  diem  price  for 
the  loss  oi'his  services,  and  the  other  must  pay 
it.    But  what  if  he  will  not?  '•  lie  must,"  was 
the  reply,  given  in  the  same  tone  with  which 
he  had  before  pronounced  it  "  impossible"  for 
the  brother  to  withold  protection  aud  shelter 
from  his  sister.     If  he  does  not  he  will  be  visi- 
ted with  the  contempt  of  his   tribe,  and    very 
soon  hi!  or  one  of  his  near  relations  will  be  kill- 
ed.    They  have  a  law  which  is  as  powerful  in 
its  operations  as  any  that  we  have,  and    it  is  a 
strange  and  not  uninteresting  feature  in  their  so 
oial  compact,  that  what  we  call  public  opinion 
shonM  be  as  powerful  among  them  as  among 
civilized  people,  and  that  even  the  wild  and 
lawless  Bedouin,  a  man  who  may  fight  and  rob> 
and   kill  with  impunity,  canuot  live  under  the 
contempt  of  his  tribe. 


In  r^fard  to  their  yet  more  domestic  habits, 
be  told  me  that  though  the  law  of  Mohammed 
allowed  four  wives,  the  Bed  uiu  seldom  took 
more  than  one,  unless  he  had  no  issue  with  the 
one,  or  if  she  could  not  make  good  bread,  or  un- 
less he  fell  in  love  with  another  girl,  or  cofld 
afford  to  keep  more  than  one ;  with  tht  se  imd 


few  extraordinary  exceptions,  the  B.douin 
married  but  one  wife  ;  and  the  chastity  of  wo- 
men was  protected  by  sanguary  laws,  the  guil- 
ty woman  having  to  forfeit  her  head  the  penal- 
ty bv  ing  executed  tiy  her  own  relations,  the 
-Vrabsproceiditig  on  the  ground  that  the  clias- 
tity  of  the  woman  is  a  pearl  above  all  price  > 
that  it  is  in  her  own  keeping  ;  and  that  it  is 
but  part  of  the  infirmity  of  mau's  nature  to 
rob  her  of  it. 


Hence  it  is  clear  the  text  means  passers  by,  in 
general,  as  the  words  stand,  and  not  the  labor- 
er, of  which  no  mention  is  made  in  the  text. 
It  is  in  this  manner  Joaephus  in  his  antiqui- 
ties. Book  4,  chapter  8,  records  the  laws  to 
have  been  observed:  he  says,  "  travelers  on  the 
highway,  though  not  Israelites,  were  allowed

And  when  ye  reap  the  hiirve.st  of  your  lai 
thou  ahalt  not  wholly  reap  the  corners  of  tfiy

thy  vineyard  thou  shalt  not  gather  up;  for  the 
poor  and  the  stranger  shult  thou  leave  them. 
I  am  the  Lord  thy  God.     Lev.  19:  9  10. 

When  thou  comest  to  thy  neighbor's  vine- 
yiird,  thou  niaycsit  eat  grap<s  at  thy  pleasure, 
till  ilir.ti  art  satiKfie<l.  but  into  thy  vosel  thou 
shalt  not  put  any.  When  thou  comest  into 
the  standing  corn  of  thy  neighbor,  thou  may- 
e.<<t  pluck  cars  with  thy  hand,  but  a  sickle  thou

to  refresh  themselves  in  passing  by." 

As  to  the  injury  done  to  the  vineyard,  we 
remark  that  the  super  abundant  produce  of 
Palestine  allowed  such  losses  without  affecting 
the  proprietor  to  a  considerable  degree.  Be- 
sides; the  law  of  benevolence  is  of  too  impor 
taut  a  nature  not  to  require  considerable  sac' 
riRces— the  maxim  is  D>D?nDn  a^ca  kSn  n«  tn 
We  find  no  requirement  in  the  law,  without 
its  requiring  material  sacriBces.  Besides,  the 
text  does  not  give  permission  to  roam  about  a 
stranger's  vineyard,  but  merely  to  pick  grapes 
in  passing.  We  therefore  admire  the  beautiful 
lesson  given  us  in  passage  before  us,  and  we 
sincerely  wish  that  our  age  would  act  accord- 
ing to  the  principles  laid  down  in  the  Bible^ 
1.  e.:  that  the  rich  would  allow  the  poor  nan 
a  chance  to  pick  up  small  earnings  and  certain 
advantages  offered  to  them:  "  When  ye  reap 
the  harvest,  do  not  wholly  reap  he  corners 
neither  gather  the  gleanings  ;  for  the  poor  and 
the  stranger  shalt  thou  leave  them." 
(To  be  Cotinued.)

'I  he  owners  were  commanded,  when  they 
gathered  their  grapes,  (and  other  produce]  not 
to  provide  solely  for  ihemst^lves,  by  greedfly 
picking  up  all  they  could  get,  but  generously 
to  give  some  chance  to  the  poor  and  the  stran-

In  relation  to  this,  PBkyjlbe,  Babbi?,  that  at 
least  the  sixtei  nth  pari,  or  more,  if  the  num. 
ber  of  of  poor  required  it,  had  to  be  left  for  this 
purpose — not  in  any  place  most  convenient  for 
the  owner,  but  in  the  corner  of  the  field,  so  that 
the  poor  might  find  it  without  any  difficulty 
"  Neither  shalt  thou  gather  the  gleanings  of 
thy  harvest,"  continues  the  text — that  is,  if  an 
ear  or  two  of  corn  fell  while  they  cut  or  bound 
it.  "  And  thou  shalt  not  glean  thy  vineyard, 
and  the  single  grapes.that  drop  in  thy  vine- 
yard thou  shalt  not  take  away,  for  the  poor 
and  the  stranger  shalt  thou  leave  them.  I  am 
the  Lord  your  God,  unto  whom  the  whole  earth 
belongeth,  aud  who  desires  you  to  sanctify 
yourselves  by  the  practice  of  benevolence|f 

Ot  another  humane  law   in   relation  topso-' 
duce  of  the  soil,  we  read  in  Deuteronomy  23r 
2-1 — "When  thou  coraest  in  the  vineyard  of  thy 
neighbor's    thou   mayest  eat  grapes    at  thy 
pleasure  till   thou  be  satisfied  ;  but  into  thy 
vessel  thou  shalt  not  put  any."     Here  again  is 
an  instance  of  humanity  worthy  of  the  Bible. 
How  different  fiora  Plato's  laws,  wh'c'.  enacted 
that  a  servant  who  ate  figs  or  grapes   ia   his 
master's  vineyard  should  receive  as  many  lash- 
es as  he  ate  berries,  (Euzebius  Praef:  Evang. 
lib.  xiii,  cap  ult.     Such   is  the  teaching  of  a 
man  who  is  preH'ininently  called  "The  Divine;" 
while  the  divine  law  teaches:  "Thou  shalt  not 
muzzle  (even)  the  ox  while  he  is  thrashing."       | 
Strange  that  the   Rabbis   teach  just  there-  I 
verse  of  Plato  ;  they  teach  that  the  owner  who  \ 
rcfnscs  this  indulgence  to  the  passer  by  is  to  i 
receive  the  known  forty  lashes   but  one.    It  i 
must  be  mentioned  that  the  Rabbis  apply  this  j 
passage,  not  to  a  casual   passer   by   the  vine- 
yard, but  to  the  laborer,   who  works  among  ' 
the  grape  ;  bnt  their  interpretation  is  not  cor.  , 
rect,  for  if  the  ox  was  not  to  be  prevented  cat.  j 
ing  corn  while  threshing  it,  as  we  read:  "Thou 
shalt  not  muzzle  tbeox  whilst  he  is  threshing," 
what  need  is  there  for  permission  to  the  human 
laborer,  for  such  a  gratification  while  at  work 


We  have  spokeh  of  the  necessity  of  the  in- 
halatiun  of  pure  air,  if  we  wish  to  preserve  cur 
health  ;  we  have  illustrated   it  by  examples 
that  niu.st  convince  every  reader  of  the  deadly 
effect  of  impure  air.    The  case  of  Ousper  Hau. 
Aer.  who  was  effected   by   impnie  exhalation 
from  diad  bodies,  to  that  extent  that   he  was 
immediately  attacked  with  an  ague,  succeeded 
by  an  intense  feverish  heat,  and  a  profuse  per 
spiration,  and  a  dimness  of  sight  (from  the  ef- 
fect of  the  odors  on  the  brain,  shows  in  a  most 
striking  maimer  the  poisonous  effect  of  vitious 
air  and  the  necessity  of  ventilation.    Our  in- 
sensibility to  its  effect  is  owing  to  the  obtuse- 
ness  of  our  senses  which  an  artificial  manner  of 
life  has  benumbed  to  such  an  oxtent  that  pow. 
!  erful  excitements  to  our  nerves  are  required 
I  to  render  ub  auscoptible  to  the  influence  of  sur- 
I  rounding  objects.     But  we  mu^t  not  imagine 
I  that  we  can  transgress  the  laws  of  nature  with- 
j  out  our  having  to  pay  the  penalty  ;  in  the  phys- 
ical, as  in  the  moral  world,  nature  kindly  points 
!  out  to  us  what  is  to  be  desired  and  what  avoid- 
ed.   In  the  moral  woi'ld.^t  i»,con8cieucc  that 
is  the  monitor — in  the  physiAl,  it  i.s  our  sen- 
ses :  evil  odors  warn  us  of  the  gressure  of  delc- 
,  toriiMCll^uences,  and,  as  by  Kpesited  violence 
,]f$M  the  conscience  it  grows  searer,  so  do  our 
pbys^l  parts  grow  more  benumbed  after  every 
^MJUl^ssion,  till  they  arc  individually  so  ob- 
tuse— which  when  such  obtusion  extends  over 
the  whole  organizition,  we  call  it  death. 

Th^fore  beware  of  vitiated  air,  keep  your 
room?,  chambers,  and  nurseries  projKjrly  ven- 
tilated ;  removeAom  them  every  object  which 
emanates  poisonoorieffluvia,  a<*  corrupt  animal 
substances,  soiled  linen,  etc.  Try  by  all  means 
to  breathe  a  pure  air. 


The  Increase  of  Synagogues. 

'I'hc  increasing  number  of  Synagogues  iu  the 
land  appears,  iu  the  abstract,  to  be  most  laud- 
able; but  when  wc  descend  into  an  enquiry  as 
to  the  remote  causes  originating  the  Jwant  in 
a  particular  case,  we  are  oft  led  to  demur  to  its 
laudability,  if  we  do  not  go  the  length  of  cen- 
suring the  ground  on  which  it  is  based. 

There  is  uot  a  city  of  any  importance  in  the 
Union  which  has  not  at  this  day.viore  Israelite 
congregations  than  necessity  warrants.  The  ex- 
cess has  been  created  by  the  unrestricted  flow 
of  national  prejudices  or  the  unbridled  passions 
of  checked  ambition.  It  is  a  weakness  of  the 
Hebrews  that,  as  they  were  created  a  nation 
of  priests.  Ihey  aspire,  each  man,  to  be  a  Prince 


in  brael.    Tbe  nibordination  laid  down  in  t 

wilderness,  when  each  man  knew  his  statid 
and  filled  it  hopefully,  is  ignored  in  this 
of  free  institutions:  and  thus  a  very  slight 
feat  on  congregational  questions  suffices,  wH 
seme  men,  fpr  the  establishment  of  a  rival  c«| 
gregation.

to  justify  themselves  before  the  world,  wtsl

THE     WEE,KLY     GLEANER. 


Vanity  and  Affectation 


There  are  few  defects  which  appear  ear- 
lier than  vanity.     Children  delight  in  being  no 
ticed  aud  admired;  and  it  is  therefore  of  im. 
porUnce,  that  amidst  all  our  affectionate  att^en. 
tions  to  them,  air  our  etTTtsfcr  their  g6oJ«% 
happiness,  we  guard  against  nurturing  their  se\ 
love,  self-importance,  and  fondness  for  adraira 
tion.     Children  ought  to  be  the  objects  of  our 
assiduous  attention-we  should  be  wdling  to 
give  up  our  time,  not  only  for  the  more  serious 
of  education,  but  to  please,  to  amuse,  and  to 
make  them  happy.     This,  however,    may  be 
done  without  throwing  back  their  attention  on 
themselves.    We  may  show  them  every  kind, 
ness  without  flattering  their  vanity  ;  but  here 
many  people  are  apt  to  mistake  ;  their  notice 
is  bestowed  in  so  injudicious  a  manner.     If  for 
instance,  upon  the  entrance  of  children   into  a 
room,  a  general  whisper  of  approbation  go 
rountl  the  circle  ;  if  remarks  are  made  on  their 
persons,  their  carriage,  and  their  manner;  if 
their  sayings  are  eagerly   listened  to   and  re. 
p<  atcd  in  their  presence,  the  ill  effect  is  iuevit- 

able. 

Praise  and  encouragement,  judiciously  and 
sparingly  adminstered,   will  have  effects  very 
different  fiom  those  produced  by  the  kind  of 
notice  here  objected    to.     The    one    injures 
whilst  it  pleases,  leading  the  subjects  of  it  to 
think  of  themselves,  and  exciting  a  self-compla^ 
cency,  which  is  very  soon  followed  by  display  ; 
the  other  is  a  just  reward  of  merit,  and  a  stim. 
ulus  to  what  is  good.    In  bestowing  praise  how- 
ever, even  when  the  most  deserved,  we  should 
bear  in  mind  the  great  importance  of  leading 
our  children  to  a  habit  ofexamining  their  mo- 
tives, of  doing  right  from  asense  of  duty  rather 
than  from  the  love  of  applause,  or  the  desire  of 
excelling  others,    whilst  we  stimulate  to  ex- 
ertion, care  must  at  the  same  time  be  taken  to 
uphold  the  beauty  of  humilitj  as  the  chiet  or- 
nament of  childhood  ;  but  unless  this,  in  some 
measure,  exists  i  n  our   own  hearts,  unless  we 
ourselves  are  influenced  by  that  meek  and  quiet 
spirit  which  is  in  the  sight  of  God  of  great  price?- 
there  is  little  hope  that  we  shall  succeed  in  our 
endeavours  to  foster  it  in  others. 

An  excess  of  personal  vanity  is  rarely  to  be 
overcome  by  direct  opposition,  or  positive  re. 
Btraint.     We  shall  be  more  likely  to  succeed  ic 
countertracting  such  a  disposition,  by  allowing 
to  external   appearance  its  due  value,  its  doe 
share    of    attention— by  inculcating  general 
moderation  in  every  selfish  gratification,  and 
still  more,  by  improving  the  tone  of  mind,  and 
raising  it  to  higher  tastes  and  better  objects. 
Dress  should  be  treated  as  a  matter  of  very  sec- 
ondary  importance;  new  and   smart  clothes 
ought  not  to   be  offered   as  a  reward  for  good 
conduct ;  and  whether  they  are  to  be  of  one 
shape  or  another,  this  colour  or  that,   is  never 
to  be  brought  forward    as   an  affair  of  conse- 
quence.   Too  much  restraint  on  this  subject 
generally  defeats  its  own    end,  aud  renders 
drees,  just  what  we  should  with  it  not  to  be,  an 
object  of  unnecessary   thought  and  attention. 
The  desire  to  please,  so  strongly  implanted  in 
the  heart,  must  be  allowed  to  have  some  play 
and,  when  kept  within  due  bounds,  is  not  to  be 
despised  or  treated  as  a  fault ;  whilst  we  stricly 
avoid   all  that  is  incorrect  or  extravagant,  we 
should  not,  unmeceaarily,  expose  our  children 
to  the  pain  and  awkwardness  of  feeling  them- 
selves singular  in  manner  and  appearance. 

Closely  connected  with  vanity  is  affectation 
to  which  children  are  also  exceedingly  prone. 
Nothing  can  be  more  delightful  than  the  inno- 
cent prattle  and  merriment  of  a  child,  when  it 
flows  simply  from  the  gaiety  of  his  heart— we 
Bhould  encourage  it,  and  be  merry  with  him  ; 
but  if  we  have  the  weakness,  may  we  not  say 
the  unkindness,  to  let  him  see  that  he  ia  an  ob. 
ject  of  attention  and  admiration,  to  put  htm 
upon   showing   off   his  pretty   ways,  for  the 
amusement  of  our  friends,  or  allow  it  to  be 
done  for  the  laugh  of  the  kitchen  ;  we  gain  our 


.bjeet  indeed,  he  is  sprightly  and  f'^"^*';;*'^"* 
no  longer  because  he  is  gay  at  heart,  but  be^ 
cause  he  longs  to  be  noticed  and  adm.red-and 
this  is  affectation.  Those  who  are  accustomed 
to  children  will  be  able  quickly  to  discern 
affectation,  not  only  in  their  words  atid  actions, 
but  even  in  th«ir  looks'  and  should  always 
disa^oint  it-always  «ceive  it  with^oldneas 

and  disaprobation.  ^^ 


_>ve  shall  succeed  very  imperfectly  in  secu 
ring  our  children  from  vanity  and  affectation,  j 
unless  we  first  set  a  guard  upon  our  own  con-  i 
duct-unless  we  ourselves  arc  acting  from  bet. 
ter  motives  than  the   love  of   admiration,  or 
the  desire  of  excelling   others  ;  unless  our  own  ^ 
manners  are  simple  and   natural.    If  it  be  the 
main  object  of  tho^  who  are  en-aged  m  edu 
cation,  that  themselves  or  their  children  should  , 
please  and  excel,  a  similar  spirit  will  most  like 
ly  .how  itself  in  the  objects  of  their  care.    If 
we  allow  ourselves  to  speak  in  affected  tones  of 
voice;  fondling  our   children  to  excess;  and 
using  extravagant  expressions  of  affection  and 
admiration,  a  defect  so  frequent  amongst  nurses 
something  answering  to  it  will  certainly  appear 
in  them  ;  for  we  shall  find  that  they  are  wonder 
fully  alive  to  sympathy   and    imitation  ;  quick 
in  discerniPg  what  passes  before  them,  cspici. 
allv  if  it  regard  themselves,  and;  when  we  least 
suppose  it,  sirongly   aff-cted  by  the  conduct

She  is  handsome,  it  is  a  beauty  not  arising 
from  features,  from  complexion,  or  from  shape; 
she  has  all  three  in  high  degree,  but  it  is  not  by 
these  she  touches  the  heart;  it  is  all  that  sweet 
ness  of  temper,   benevolence,  innocence,   and 
sensibility  which  a  face  can  express,  that  forms 
her  beauty.     She  has  a  face  that  just  raises 
your  attention  at  first  sight,  it  grows  on  you 
every  moment,  and  you  wonder  that  it  did  not 
more  than  raise  your  attention  at  first.      Her 
eyes  have  a  mild  light,  but  they  awe  you  when 
she  pleases ;  they  command  like  a  good  man  , 
out  of  office,  not  by  authority,  but  by  virtue 
Her  features  arc  not  perfectly  regular  ;  that 
sort  of  exactness  is  more  to  be  praised  than 
loved,  for  it  is  never  animated.     Her  stature  is 
not  tall ;  she  is  not  made  to  be  the  admiration 
of  every  body,  but  the  happiness  of  one.    She 
has  all  the  firmness  that  does  not  exclude  deli- 
cacy •  she  has  all  the  softness  that  does  not  im- 
ply weakness.    There  is  often  more  of  the  co- 
ouelte  shown  in  an  affected  plainness  than  in 
a  tawdry  finery;  she  is   always  neat  without 
preciseness  or  affectation.     Her   gravity   is  a 
gentle  thoughtfulne ss,  that  softens  the  features 
without  discomposing    them;   she  is  usually 
grave     Her    smiles  are   inexpre^ible.     Her 
voice  is  a  low  soft  music,  not  formed  to  rule 
in  public  assemblies,  but   to  charm   those  who  j 
can  distinguish  a  company  from  a  crowd  ;  it 
has  this  advantage,  you  must  come  close  to  her 
to  hear  it.    To  describe  her  person  is  to  de- 
scribe her  mind;  one  is  the  transcript  of  the 
other     Her  understanding  is  not  shown  in  the 
variety  of  matters  it  exerts  itself  ou,  but  inth 
goodness  of  the  choice  she  makes.    She  doe^ 
not  display  it  so  much  in  saying  or  doing  strik- 
ing things,  as  in  avoiding  such  as  she  ought  no 
to  say   or  do.    She  discovers  the  right  and 
wrong  of  things  not  by  reasoning,  but  sagacity; 
most  women  and,  and  many  good  ones,  have  a 
closeness  and  something  selfish  in  their  disposi- 
tions ;  she  has  a  true  generosity  of  temper  ;  the 
most  extravagant  cnnot  be  more  unbounded  \ 
in  their  liberality,  the  most  covetous  not  more  ^ 
cautious  in  the  distribution.      No  person  of  so  j 
few  years  can  know  the  world  better  ;  no  per-  [ 
son  was  ever  less  corrupted  by  that  knowledge. 
Her  politeness  seems  to  flow  rather  from  a  nat- 
ural disosition  to  oblige  than  from  any  rules  on 
that  subject;  and  therfore  never  fails  to  strike 
those  who  understand  good  breeding,  and  those 
who  do  not.    She  does  not  run  with   a  girls

a  good  boy  would  make  a  good  man  ;  and 
that  a  bad  boy  would  make  a  l)ad  man. 
Now  and  then  there  might  be  a  case,  when 
n  vw-inns  ha<]  hny  might  reform  and  turn 


Lines  AddLressed  to  a  Little  Girl. 


Childhood  ia  on  thee,  beautiful  one, 

There's  light  within  thine  eye, 
Ijike  the  dewy  pearl  in  the  morning  sun, 

Beneath  the  orient  sky. 

The  roseate  hue  ia  on  thy  cheek, 
With  the  flash  of  beauty's  power. 

Which  brightly  now  of  the  future  speaks, 
Of  womanhood's  coming  hour. 

0  1  may  no  shade  e'er  cloud  that  brow 
Of  such  placid  lovelines?, 

But  thy  youthful  heart  boat  light  as  now, 
With  its  unfeign'd  happiness. 

May  joy  still  sparkle  in  that  eye 

Of  heaven's  own  brilliant  hue. 
Where  all  the  hidden  beauties  lie, 

Soon  to  unfold  to  view. 

But  of  the  future,  who  can  tell 

What  is  to  come  tq  thee? 
What  griefs  may  thy  young  bosom  swell, 

What  pangs  of  agony. 

Fortune,  'tis  true,  has  strew'd  her  flowers 

Along  thy  early  way, 
And  fancy  decks  afresh  those  bowcra 

Where  love  aud  friendship  stray. 

But  ere  the  rose  is  pluck'd  by  thee 

Its  leaves  may  droop  and  die  ; 
And  thy  young  hopes,  so  bright  to  see, 

Beneath  may  with'ring  lie. 

Alas  !  this  world's  a  changing  scene. 

Few  are  the  sunny  days 
Which  have  no  clouds  to  intervonc 

To  hide  their  joyous  rays. 

1  would  that  thine  were  cloudless  ones, 
Always  serene  and  bright, 

And  close,  as  they  have  now  begun. 
With  innocent  delight. 

May  angels  guard  thy  early  hours 

From  every  danger  near, 
And  save  thee  by  their  heaventy  powers 

From  sin  and  sorrow  here. 

May  friendship's  kind  and  sweet  caress 

Be  always  felt  by  thee. 
And  thy  repose  of  happiness 

In  Ueavon's  sympathy.  *

Qood  Boys  make  Good  Men. 

Do  the  young  realize,  as  they  should, 
that  their  character  as  men  will  depend,  in 
a  great  measure,  upon  their  course  of  con- 
duct in  childhood  aud  youth  ?  Wc  do 
not  mean  that  their  conduct  for  a  day,  or 
m<oth,  or  year,  is  to  decide  their  charac- 
ter as  men  ;  but  we  mean  their  general 
course  of  conduct  from  day  to  day  and 
from  year  to  year.  The  habits  they  form 
in  early  life,  will  be  likely  to  remain  with 
them  in  manhood  and  age.  If  they  form 
the  habits,  while  young,  of  punctuality  in 
the  performance  of  all  their  duties,  how- 
ever small — of  obedience,  and  truthfulness, 
and  honesty,  and  regard  to  the  word  aud 
way  of  God,  Ac— Uioy  wiy  probably  car- 
ry these  exeellent habits  withihem  through 
life  ;  and  the  same  will  be  the  case  if  they 
form  the  opposite  habits. 

In  conversation  with  a  distinguished 
teacher,  a  short  time  since,  he  gave  some 
striking  illustrations  of  this  subject,     He 


few  moments,  aye,  a  few  years,  or  even 
for  a  whole  life,  in  the  glare  of  revelry, 
and  amid  the  peals  of  mirth,  it  will  re-ap- 
pear  the  next  moment,  more  resolute  and 


s  lid,  that  his  observation  as  a  teacher  had 
fully  convinced  him,  that,  as  a  general  rule 


out  well  ;  but  he  thought  this  was  very 
seldom  the  case.  He  then  gave  two  illus- 
trations of  this  remark  that  he  had  just 
become  nequiiinvLd  with,  lie  iiud  occa- 
sion to  visitthc  ship,  Great  llepublio, 
before  it  left  East  Boston.  Almost  the 
first  person  he  met,  on  going  on  board, 
was  the  head  carpenter,  a  very  enterpris 
ing  and  highly  rcspci:tal)le  young  man. 
This  young  man,  occnpyiii^jj  this  high  and 
responsible  position,  he  found  was  once, 
for  several  years  his  pupil,  lie  remem- 
bered him  as  an  e.vcellent  scholar  and  a 
well-behaved,  good  boy. 

He  always  felt  certain  that  he  would  1  o 
come  a  respoctaljlc  man,  and  would  sue 
ceed  well  in   whatever  business  he  might 

engage. 

The  next  day  he  had  occasion  to  go  on 
board  this  ship  again,  when  he  had  an  in- 
terview with  the  first  mate.  He  soon  as- 
certained that  he  too,  when  about  ten  or 
twelve  years  of  age,  was  two  years  mnkf- 
his  instruction.  He  well  remembered  him 
also  as  a  very  good  boy,  giving  the  great- 
est promise  of  future  respectability  aud 
success  in  life.  This  young  man  is  ouly 
twenty-six  years  of  age,  and  has  been  to 
sea  ouly  seven  years,  and  yet,— such  has 
been  his  progress,  and  such  the  reputation 
he  has  gained, — tha;  he  was  then  the  first 
mate  of  the  largest  merchrnt  ship  ever 
built,  and  is  abundantly  competent  to  take 
command  of  any  ship  that  sails  the  ocean  ! 
Could  he  have  obtained  this  high,  and  hon- 
orable, aud  trustworthy  position,  at  such 
an  early  age,  had  he  not  formed  good 
habits  and  become  trustwoJlhy  in  his 
childhood  and  youth  ?  Surely  not. 

Let  all  our  young  readers,  and  especially 
the  lads,  lay  up  in  their  memories  these 
facts.  Let  them  remember  that  their 
friends  aud  acquaintauces  are  now  form- 
ing an  opinion  in  regard  to  what  wil| 
probably  be  their  characters  in  future  life, 
by  tneir  everyday  conduct  at  home,  at 
school,  and  wherever  they  may  meet  them, 
now  in  their  early    days.— He//   Spring. 

The  Boy  and  his  Shadow. 

Last  evening,  as  I  sat  musing  in  a  well 
lighted   room,    I   was   attracted   by   the 
movements  and  soliloquies   of  my   little 
boy.     He  was  attentively  regarding  his 
shadow,  thrown  into  strong  relief  on  the 
wall,  and  endeavoring,  now  by  one  means 
and  now  by  another,  to  get  away  from  it. 
He  walked  very  slowly  a  few  steps,  look- 
ing sideways  at  the   wall,  to  see   if  the 
shadow  accompanied  him  ;  then  he  would 
give  a  sudden  spring,  and  dart  across  the 
room  at  a  bound,  but  still  theshudowjwas 
there  at  the  same  moment.      "  How  fast 
that  shadow  does  go!"  I  heard  him  say: 
"It  will  keep  with  me,  all  I  can  do.     Now 
let   us    see;"  and    then  another   spring, 
which  of  course  terminated  in  another  dis- 
appointment. 

As  I  watched  him,  I  was  forcibly  re- 
minded of  the  efforts  made  by  the  sinner 
to  escape  from  his  conscience — efforts  al- 
ways, and  of  necessity,  as  futile  as  were 
those  of  the  boy.  Guilt  and'rcmorse  can- 
not be  separated;  the  dark  and  horrible 
shadow  ever  follows  the  steps  of  its  author; 
and  though  he  may  lose  sight  of  it  for  a 


vindictive  than  before. 

Then  comc»  the  hour,  and  it  will  beat  for 
you  and  mo,  and  all  living  men,  women, 
and  children,  when  the  good  we  have  done 
hero,  will  shine  before  us  as  a  "sun  of  right, 
oousncss  with  Ucali:'gi»  his  wings."  (M«l. 
4:2.;  and  all  the  evil  which  wc  have 
done  will  follow  us  as  the  shadow  followed 
the  boy,  and  will  testify  against  us,  so 
that  many  a  sin,  after  which  wc  did  not 
look,  which  we  had  forgotten,  will  present 
itself  before  our  departing  spirit  and  fol- 
low us  into  that  world  where  every  man 
will  be  seen,  not  as  he  appeared  here,  but 
as  he  was,  and  where  our  sins  will  haunt 
us,  whether  we  will  or  not.  *

On  passing  California  street,  above  Mont- 
gomery, there  is  now  at  Mr  James  Hayes'  mar- 
ble works  to  be  seen  an  ornamental  tombstone, 
with  a  Hebrew  inscription  in  gilt  letters,  the 
workmanship  of  which  for  neatness  canuot  be 
excelled. 

The  ornumeutal  part  consists  in  an  nltar  on 
which  an  open  bible  presents  the  following  in 
Hebrew;  "  And  earth  returneth  unto  earth  as 
it  had  been,  while  the  spirit  returneth  unto 
God  who  hath  given  it ;"  On  the  altar  we  read , 
"But  be  aware,  for  every  deed,  whether  good 
or   evilt  he  Lord  will  bringthee  in  Judgment." 

A  venerable  sage,  in  Oriental  costume  with 
a  grave  mien,  points  with  his  finger  to  the  text 
ot  the  open  BiWr,  with  his  te^  directed  on  the  - 
passer  by. 

We  would  advise  that  our  grave  stones,  in- 
stead of  praising  the  dead,  for  what  they  were 
not,  they  would  be  made  to  instruct  the  living 
what  they  ought  to  be.

Female  Pursuits. 

I  would  have  a  female  qualified  for  her  sta- 
tion as  a  wife ,  mother  and  mistress  of  a  family; 
but  this  is  not  all  ;  for  mental  improvement 
should  be  associated  with  a  correct  knowIe>" 
of  household  affairs.  She  who  is  to  prcside^ver 
a  family  should  be  most  intimately  acquainted 
with  everything  that  can  preserve  or  promote 
comfort.  That  must  be  an  injudicious  mother 
who  is  not  an.xieus  to  teach  a  daughter  how  to 
manage  a  family  to  the  greatest  aivantage;  and 
that  must  be  a  weak  and  silly  girl  who  is  not 
willing  to  be  taught.  All  the  time,  therefore 
must  not  be  given  to  books,  for  learned  ladies 
without  neatness,  without  order,  without  econ- 
omy, without  frugality,

Seige  of  the  Temple. 

It  wa3  now  the  5th  of  July.*  Titus  com. 
manded  that  the  fortress  of  Antonia  should  be 
razed  to  the  ground.  He  had  heard  that  the 
daily  sacrifice  was  now  intermitted,  from  want 
of  persons  to  make  tlio  offering;  and  under- 
standing the  deep  impression  made  on  all  the 
Jews'by  the  suspension  of  that  rite,  he  deter- 
miaed  to  make  another  attempt  on  their  re- 
ligious feelings.  Josephus  was  sent  to  offer 
free  egress  to  John,  one  of  the  heads  who  oc- 
cupied the  Temple,  if  he  would  come  forth  to 
fight,  that  the  Temple  might  escape  defilement. 
Josephus  placed  himself  so  as  to  be  heard  by 
all  the  Jews,  and  communicated,  iu  the  lie 
brew  language,  the  offers  of  Titus.  John  re- 
plied, in  language  of  the  fiercest  bitterness,  im- 
precating curses  on  the  bead  of  the  renegade 

•  There  is  here  a  difficulty  about  the  day.— 
This  event  is  commemorated  by  the  Jews  on 
the  17th  of  July,  the  day  indicated  by  Jose>' 
phus,  but  it  oannjt  be  reconciled  with  the 
history. 


Josephns  ;  and  concluded,  that  "he  feared  not 
the  tftkiug  (if  ihi  city,  for  it  wa<  V  e  city  of 
God."  Josephus  broke  out  into  vehement  in. 
Tcctive,  but  neither  hi^  words,  nor  the  tears  or 
sobs  by  which  he  was  interrupted,  had  the 
slightest  effect  on  John  or  Iiis  soldiers  ;  they 
rushed  out  and  endeavored  to  siize  him.  Some 
few,  however,  wer>i  moved. 

There  were  some  men  of  distit  ction,  who, 
from  time  to  lime,  had  seized  an  opportunity 
of  desertion.  Titus  receiveil  the  fugitives  with 
kindness,  promised  them  hig  protection,  and 
sent  tliem  to  Gothni.  These  men  were  sent, 
for,  and  with  Joseph  attempted  to  p<rsuade 
tha  peoplo.  if  not  to  capitmlate,  at  least  to  spare 
the  Temple  from  inevitable  deSlement  and  ruin 
But  all  in  vain:  the  sacred  gates  were  blocked 
up  with  balistos  and  catapults.  TIic  peaceful 
Temple,  with  its  marble  courts,  aud  gilded  pin- 
nacles, assumed  the  appearance  of  a  warlike 
eitaiiel.  Its  courts  were  strewn  with  the  dead; 
men  with  swords  reeking  with  the  blood  of  the 
enemy,  or  even  of  their  countrymen,  rushing  to 
and  fro  along  the  Holy  place,  or  eTen  the  Holy 
offiolies.  Titus  tried  a  last  remonstrance. 
"  You  have  put  up  a  barrier,"  he  said,  "to  pro- 
vent  strangers  from  polluting  your  f  Temple: ' 

f  A  stone  balustrade,  J*)^,  which  according  I 
to  tome  statements  was  three  cubits  high,  and  ' 


this  tbe  Romans  have  always  respected  ; — we 
have  allowed  you  to  put  to  death  all  who  vio- 
lateti  its  precincts.  Yet  ye  defile  it  yourselves 
with  blood  and  carnage.  I  call  on  your 
Gods — I  call  on  my  whole  army — I  call  on  the 
Jews  who  are  with  me — I  call  on  yourselves  to 
witness  that  1  do  not  force  you  to  this  crime. 
Come  forth,  and  fight  in  any  other  place,  and 
no  Roman  shall  violate  your  sacred  edifice.'' 
But  John  and  his  zealots,  suspected,  (it  might 
be  with  justice)  the  magnanimity  of  Titus, 
and  would  not  surrender  a  place,  the  strength 
of  which  was  their  only  trust.  Perhaps  they 
had  still  a  fanatic  confidence,  that,  reeking  as 
they  were  with  blood,  ftecped  to  the  lips  in 
crime,  they  were  still  the  chosen  people  of  Je- 
hovah; and  that  yet,  even  yet,  the  power  which

according  toTolmud  Middoth  ten  hands  high, 
was  raised  to  prevent  the  too  near  approach 
of  the  heathens  to  the  next  court.  For  thia 
purpose  there  were  erected  columns  at  certain 
distances  within  this  balustrade,  on  which 
there  were  Greek  and  Latin  inscriptions,  in* 
terdicting  all  heathens  under  penalty  of  death, 
to  advance  farther  (Joseph.  De  Bell.  Jud.  vi:  2 
4  ;  Philg,  Opera,  ii;  567.)  Compare  Acts  zxi: 
28,  where  Paul  is  accused  of  having  brought 
Greeks  into  the  temple,  and  thus  polluting  kb« 
holy  place.    To  these  Titus  refers.

(Wpar's  sense  of  fcelinp,  and  susceptibility 
ol  meallic  and  m.guetlc  excitcmint,  were 
also  very  extraordinary.  .  When  professor  Dau- 
mor,  by  way  of  cxi»ermcnt,  Icld  the  north 
pole  of  a  ro»gnct  towatds  him,  he  put  his  hund 
to  the  pit  of  his  stonmch,  and,  drawing  his 
wa^HCoat  inan  outward  direction,  renmrkt-d 
tlut  the  magnet  drew  him  thus,  and  that  a  c  r- 
r.  lit  of  air  seemed  to  proceed  from  him.  The 
HDuih  pole  Bffected  him  le^s  powerfully  ;  and  he 
Bai.l  that  it  appeared  like  a  current  of  air  blow- 
ing upon  him. 

In  regard  to  his  sensibility  to  the  presence  «f 
metals,  and  his  power  to  distinguish  them  from 
C!a<  b  other  merely  hy  his  fceliofis.   one  or  two 
instances  may  suffice.     On  entering  a  store  fill- 
eil  with  hardware,  he  immediately  hurried  out 
again,  bein^aflecUd  with  violent  shuddering, 
and  complaining  that  he  felt   a  drawing  sensa- 
tion iu  e\ery  p>irl  of  bis  body,  and  in  all  d  rec- 
tOHsatouee.     Upon  a  person's  slipping  a  goW 
coin  into  Caspar's  hand   without  his  seeing  it, 
lie  immediately   remarked,  that  he  felt  eold  in 
bis  hand.     At  a  time  when  Caspar  was  absent, 
proCesHor  Daum?r  once   pldC.d  a  go'd  ring,  a 
brusM  and  steel  compass,  and  a  silver  d  awing 
pen  under  some  paper,  and  in  such   a  manner 
thai  it  was  impossible  for  h'm  to  see  what  was 
concealed  under   it.     Mr.  Daumer   then  direc 
ted  him  to  move  his  finger  over  the  paper  with- 
out touching  it.     lie  did  so  ;  and  by  the  differ- 
cn-  c  of  the  sensation  and  the  power  of  attrac- 
tion wh'ch  the   varous  metals  cause*!  him  to 
feci  at  the  points  of  his  fingers,  he  HOcura'cly 
distingoished  and  described  them  all, each  from 
the  other,  accord  ng  to  is  respective  matter 
and  form. 

With  a  view   to  deceive  him,   Caspar  was 
once  required,  in   the  presence  of  several  dis- 
tingui»^hed  gentlemen,  to  run  his  hand  over  the 
paper,  when,  as  they  supposed,  nothing  was  con- 
cealed under  it.     After  moving  his  6nger  over 
it,  he  exclaimed,  •'  there  it  draws."    ' '  But  this 
time,"  replied   professor   Daumer,  as  he  with- 
«lrcw  the  paper,  "  you  arc  mistaken,  for  nothing 
lies  under  it."     Caspar   8orme<1,  a*  first,  to  he 
somewhat  embarrassed  ;  but  putting  his  finger 
tt','uin  to  the  place  where  he  thought  he  had 
foil  the  drawing,  be  assured  them  more  positive- 
ly than  before,  that  he  there  felt  a  drawing. 
Ttic   oil   cloth    was  then  n  moved  ;   and   upon 
making  a  stricter  search,  a  needle  wasactnally  ; 

found  under  it. 

lint  notwithstanding  the  interest  and  instrnc" 
tioi)  to  be  derived  from  an  examination  of  Cas-  j 
par's  physical  and  physiological  aspect,  the  con  j 
tcmplation  of  his  intolleclaal  powers  and  of  i 
their  development  and  operation,  after  having  j 
lain  HO  long  dormant,  opens  up  a  (iuld  still  more  , 
richly  stored  with  novelty  and  just  subjcots  of  j 
philosophical  investigation  :  and  whilst  we  here 
discover  the  acutencss  of  his  natural  under 
Blanding,  we  are,  at  the  same  time,  enabled  to 
«1raw  exact  conclusions  concerning  the  fate  of 
his  life,  and  the  state  of  utter  neg'cct  in 
which  his  mind  had  so  long  been  left  by  the 
proflgacy  and  baseness  of  human  beings. 
Though  his  heart  was  filled  with  a  child-like 
gentknrss  and  kindness,  which  rendered  him 
incapable  of  hurting  a  worm  or  a  fly,  much  less, 
a  Iran— though,  in  all  the  variiuis  relations  of 
life,  his  conduct  evinced  that  his  soul  was  as 
pore  and  spotless  as  the  reflex  of  the  eternal  in 
the  soul  of  an  angel,  yet.  as  has  already  been 
observed,  he  brought  with  him  from  bis  dun- 
geon to  the  I'ght  of  the  world,  not  an  idea,  not 
the  least  presentiment  of  the  existence  of  a 


hoFMS,  his  life  may  be  compar^^o-ttartrtrf-aB^ 
ojster,  which,  adhering  to  its  rock,  is  sensible 
of  nothing  but  the  everlasting,   uniform  dash 
ing  of  the  waves,  finding  in  i's  narrow  shell  no 
room  r.r  the  mo.t  limited  idea  of  a  world  with- 
out     But  Caspar  was  so  .n  enabled  to  form  a 
just  conception  of  spiritual    exi.t^nces,  and  ol 
a  God;  and  he  has  become  as  sincerely  pious 
ag  he  was  afterwards   innocent  and   %ro.able 
In  October,  1828,  an   attempt  was  mad  .in 
md  day,  to  murd. r  Caspar  in  the  house  of  his 
patron  and  tutor,  professor  Daumer,  with  whom 
i  be  then  resided.    The  foul  a.sassin  who  rushed 
I  in  upon  him,  g<ive  him   a  severe  wound  m  h.s 
I  forehead  with  a  sharp  instrument,  which  whs 
'  B.pposed  to   have  been  aimed   at  his  throat. 
The  b'ool-thirsty  wretch  (who  is  beh.ved  to  be 
known  at   Nuremberg,  and  is  supposed  to  be 
either  the  former  keeper  of  Caspar,  or  one  in 
strumental  in  his  iucaceration)  made  his  escape, 
and,  at  the  time  of  the   writing  of  this  narra- 
tive, kad  continued  to  elude  the  arm  of  justice.- 
In  1831,  Caspar  was  adopted,  by  theKar  of 
Stanhope,  as  his  foster  son.    But  the  earthly 
car  er   of  the    ill-fated   Caspar    Hauser    was 
,l^^fe«  life  ca'siriHti'Hlty   wonderful;  hi. 
end.  tragical.     On  the  1 4th  of  December,  18.i3, 
h,.  WHS  met  in  the  Palace  (ia-d.n,  at  Anspaeh, 
by  the  same  villain  (according  to   Chs,  ar  s  ac- 
count)   that  attemted  to   asfiassinate  Lim  in 
1B28.     In  this  last   attempt,  the  assassin  was 
but  too  successful   in   the   accomplishment  of 
his  diabolical    purpose.     Drawing   suddenly  a 
concealed  dagger,  he  plungefl  it  twice  into  the 
breast  of  Caspar,  who,  after  lingering  three 
days,  expired  of  his  wounds.    The  villain  fled  ; 
and,  at  the  date  of  the  latest  accounts,  he  had 
not  been   apprehended.     Suspicion   had  fallen 
upon  a  merchant  of  Bavaria.-It  appears  that 
Lord  Stanhope  had  not  taken  Caspar  to  Eng 
land  ;  but,  up  to  the  time  of  hisdeath,  had  con 
tributedto   his   support  at   Anspnch.       hus 
this  tender  plant  has  happily   been   transfered 
to  a  more  genial  soil,  where  ,t  will  be  nourish- 
ed and  protected  from  the  rude  blasts  of  a  bust- 
ling world. 

The  following  additional   items   about  this 
remarkable  man,  will  not  be  considered  devoid 

of  interest. 

He  was  of  low  stature,  (four  and  three  qnnr 
ter  B.iva-ian  feet,)  had  broad   shoulders,  and 
di-played   rerfect   symmetry.     His  skm    was 
I  quite  fair  and  delicate  ;  frame  delicately  con- 
!  structed,  hands  small  and  beautifully  shapen; 
80  were  his  feet,  which  showed  no  trace  of  their 
ever  having  been  confined  to  a  shoe  ;  the  soles 
were  as  soft  and  delicate  as  the  palms  of  his 
hands.     On  both  arms   traces   of  inoculat  on 
were  visible.    His   complexion    betrayed   no 
sickliness.     When  crying  he   contracted   un- 
naturally  his  mouth;  his  smiling  was  child-like. 
His  gate  was  like  that  of  a  child.    The  very 
smell  of  cooked  food  caused   him  to  shudder, 
and  a  little  wine,  bicr  and  the  like  produced 
propose  perspiration,  vomiting  and  diarrhoea 
i  He  was  indifferent  r.bout  the  conveniences  of 
I  life     Besides  the  most  necessary  pieces  of  ap- 
1  parol,  he  had  nothing   about  him,  when  found, 
besides  a  felt  hat,  in  which  was  a  picture  of 
the  city   of  Munich,  a   pocket  handkerchief, 
with  the  initials  K.  H.  marked  on  it,  and  sev 
eral  written  Catholic  prayers,  as  also  some  re- 
ligious books,  issued  at  Altoettingen,  Burg 
hau^en,  etc.     The  date  of  the  letter  he  brought 
was--"  Von  der  Baicrochen,  Grnnz,  dass  Orte 
iat  unbenannt,  1828."

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliiitiiJ

tL  bought  to  the  barn,  badly    wounded-

BVyan  s  wounds,  and  after  his  revival  ventur^

rwerbottoo   fatally  portended  the    worst. 
Z  begged  him  to  tell  her  the  circumstance., 
or  sre'knew  her  husband  was  dead.     Bryan 
hen  stated  that  just  before  going  into  action, 
Cant  Leslie  thrust  a  small   Bible  into  his  bo-

ofthe  remains  of  her  beloved.    On  the  pom 
Irlg.indespair  of   finding  the  objec 

ofheranxious  search,  among  such  a  mass  of 
carnage,  her  attention  was  drawn  to  an  oa - 
Ttched  hand  on  which   was  found  the  well- 
known  ring  of  her  husband,  who  was  partly  | 
buried  beneath  a  pile  of  other  bodies-    \N  hile  ,

ed  captain.      The  surgeon,  applying  a  glass  to 
the  lips  of  Leslie,  declared  that  he  yet  hved. 
The  shock  of  joy  was  to  great  for  the  delicate 
System   of  Helen '.one  vacant  stare,  and  She

spent  in  restoring  her  to  sensibility,  ''"d  ^^^rj^

holy  book  was  to  be  the  salvation  of  the  cap-

Rhkumatism  AND  Ci'oEB.-The  Medical  Re- 
former, in  a  late  number,  speaks  as  follows  Of 

cider  in  this  disease  :  r 

"  I  have  been  using  cider  iu  acute  rlieraatisra  I 
with  much  satislaction.    I  think  more    of  it 
than  Wmon  juice.    Either  new  or  old  cider  an- 
swers equally  well.    .It  sometimes  purges.    1 
sometimes  combine  with  a  little  laudanum, 

Ai  a  beveraKe.  it  is  the  most  wholesome 
known.  To  the  stomach  it  is.  in  moderate 
Siies,  the  most  genial  of  all  drinks.  It 
Jiou'd  be  more  generally  us-  d  As  rheumatism 
probably  depends  upon  a  faulty  retrogression 
ofthe  products  from  the  muscula-  tissue,  cider 
may  hasten  this,  and  thereby  remove  it. 

As  a  beverage  for  a  dy^peps.cU  per^o" J^s 
recupe  ative  qualities  can  l>e  endorsed  without 
mental  reservation.  Foreign  wines  and  Schnei- 
dam  schnapps  are  vile  stuff,  in  comparison 
with  genuine  American  cider. 

The  medicinal  p.opertiee  of  the  apple  are 
admitted  on  all  hands  the  sub  acid  juice  form^ 
cooling,  refn..hing,  antiscorbutic  dnnks.  and  is 
well  adapted  for  hot  seasons  and  for  febrile  and 
inflammatory  cases ;  they  promote  the  secre- 
t  OI.H  of  the  ulimentery  canal,  and  act  as  laxa- 
tivis." 

But  we  must  warn   our  readers  against  the 


Onlifornia  mixtures  sold  for  cider,  into  which 
alcoholic  poison,  and  other  noxious  substances. 
of  which  we  could  give  quite  a  list,  enter  con 
siderably,  and  under  these  circumstances  fresh 
cold  water  remains,  after  all,  the  best  bev- 
erage.

Bmoie  I'haraoh,  and  Sennacherib,  and  the  enr- 
mics  of  the  Maccabe..>8,  would  reveal  himself  in 
irresistible  terror. 

'I'itus  finding  all  his  offers  of  mercy  rejected, 
determined  on    a  night   atUck  :  a.s  the  who'c 
array  C)uld  not  make  the  assault,  on   account 
oftlie  narrowness  of  the  approadics,   thirty 
men  were  picked  from  each  hundred,  tribunes 
appointed  over  each   1000,   and    Ccrealis   ap- 
pointed to  command  the  whole.     Titus  hirasolf 
announced,  that  he  would  mount  a  watch  towtr 
which  belonged  to  thf-  Antonia,+  in  order  t!,at  he 
ts\g\\\  witness  and  reward  every  act  of  individ- 
ual braviry.     They  advance*!,  when  night  was 
three  parts  over,  but  found  the  enemy  on  the 
watch.     The  battle  began  to  the  advantage  of 
the  Romans,  who  held  together  in  compact 
bodies,  while  the  Jews  attacked  in  small  troops 
or  singly.     In  the  blind  confusion  of  the  night, 
among  the  bewildering   shouts   on  all  sides,' 
many  fell  upon  each  other,  and  those  who  were 
repelled  were  mistaken  for  the  assailants,  and 
killed  by  tbcir  own  men  ;  so  that  the  Jews  lo^t 
mnre  by  their   own  sword  than   by   the   foe. 
When  day  dawned,  the  combat  coutinned   on 
more  even  terms  ;    after  eight  hours  contest, 
though  the  Romans  were  thus  fighting  as  in  a 
theatre,  in  view  of  the  emperor,  they  bad  not 
gained  a  foot  of  ground  ;  and  the  battle  ceaped- 
as  it  were,  by  common  consent. 

Ill  the  mean  time,  the  Romans  had  leveled 
part  of  the  Antonia,  and  made  a  broad  way, 
by  which  they  could  bring  their  engines  to 
bi  ar  upon  the  temple.  They  erected  their  rm 
baiikments,  though  with  great  difficulty,  from 
the  scarcity  of  timber,  against  four  places  of 
the  outer  court.  The  indefatigable  Jews  in 
the  m^au  time,  gave  them  no  rest ;  if  the  cav- 
alry went  out  to  forage,  and  let  their  horses 
loose  to  feed,  the  Jews  would  sally  out  in 
squadrons  and  surprise  them.  They  made  one 
desperate  assault  on  the  outposts,  near  the 
Mount  of  Olives  in  open  day  ;  and,  but  for  a 
charge  of  cavalry  on  their  flank,  had  almost 
saccecded  in  forcing  the  wall. 
(to  or  continued. 

X  A  fortres*  on  the  north  side  of  the  area  o; 
the  temple.  It  communicated  with  the  north- 
ern and  western  portiy>cs  of  the  temple  area, 
and  had  flight*  of  stairs  descending  into  both  ; 
by  which  communication  the  soldiers  of  Antox 
nia  could  at  any  time  enter  the  courts  of  the 
temple.  Prom  Antonia,  all  that  passed  in  the 
«oarti  of  the  temple  ouuld  plainly  be  seen. 


culatioD,  do<'s,  like  every  other  religious  p.iper, 
and  by  far  the  greater  number  ef  others,  net 
pay  its  exjienapp,  which  it  would  have  d  >ne, 
did  our  readers  in  tho  country  but  sor.d  in  their 
dues,  which  a  considerable  portion  do  not. 

In  a  country    where    business   absorbs   the 
whole  mind,  the  payment  of  smull  acc<'unts, 
such  as  subscriptions  to  a  paper,  are  cither  not 
thought  of,  or  neglected.     We  shall  thenfore, 
henceforth,  send  the  Glkanrr  in  colored  wrop- 
pers  to  all  those  whom  we  wish  to  remind  of 
their  dues  to    the   paper.     By  this  means,  we 
save  ti(ne  and   postage.     We  arc  indebted  for 
this  idea  to  "  The  Ht-brew  Observer  and  Jew 
ish  Chronicle,"  of  London.     And   if  English 
suliscrib'  rs  do  not  think  amiss  of  being  CHl'cd 
upon  in  this  manner,   we   hcpu    that  no  party 
will  feel  the  least  displeased  at  our  bringing 
the  subject  to  their  notici'.     We  prt-suin  i  our  | 
people  are  desirous  of  doing  I  heir  duty  to  the  j 
•nly  Jewish  organ  in  the  State.  ; 

Besides  as  the  subscription    is   but  trifling, 
and  the  amount  can,  at  any  time  be  safely  for-  j 
warded,  by  uDclosing  it  in   a  rejfistered  letter.  I 
ifor  the  small  sum  of  eight  cent.-",  country  sub- 
scribers need  not  wait  to  settle  their  bills  until 
business  should  bring  them  to  San  Francisco 
The  best  way  is,  to  fix  the  amount  on  the  in- 
side of  the  letter,  pasted,  or  sealed  to  the  body 
of  the  sjmc;  or,  what   is  easier  still,  include 
the    f(|uiviilcnt    of    the    amount    in   postage 
stamps.     Letters  sent  in  this  way  have  iuvari- 
bly  reached   us.     Necessity   eomp  -Is  us  once 
more  to  appeal  tor  a  more  lively  support. 

In  the  first  place,  we  ask  those  who  receive 
the  papers  to  pay  their  dues  ;  and  iu  this  con- 
nexion we  would  commend  our  city  subscri- 
bers for  the  regularity  with  which  their  contri- 
butions are  paid. 

Secondly:  let  us  entreat  our  readers,  instead 
of  p  lying  in  arrears,  to  pay,  as  is  usual  for  re- 
ligious papers,  in  advance.  It  is  much  easier 
for  a  subscriber  to  make  a  small  advance  than 
for  an  editor,  a  great  outlay. 

Thirdly:  If  the  opinion  of  the  press  and  of  a 
number  of  pious  men  capable  of  judging  is 
correct,  "  The  Gleaner"  deserves  encourage- 
ment from  Jew  and  Gmtile.  Let,  therefore, 
fi-ms  consisting  of  several  partners  not  be  sat- 
isfied with  a  single  copy,  but  let  every  partner 
do  hiis  duty. 

On  the   whole    Pacific  coast  we  have  only 
four  synagouges,  open  for/cm  of  worship  once 
a  week;  and  a  fifth,  three  times  in  a  year.     All 
these  do  not  maintain  the  one  ordained  teacher 
who,  since  three  years,  honestly  and  conscien- 
tously  labors  for  them,  because  he  was  weigh- 
ed in  the  scale  of  national  hatred  and  preju- 
dice— measured  by  the  line  of  popular   igno- 
rance— and  "  found  wanting" — not  iu  honesty, 
integrity,  or  energy,  nor  in  zeal  and  knowl- 
edge— not  in  self-denial  and  self-sacrifice    No, 
he  was  found  wanting  in   plianot,  worldly 
POLICY,  and  iiypocbicy — hence  in  popularity. 
IP  THERE  WERE,  OR  ARE  ANY  OTH- 
ER   WANTS.    HE     INVITES    THOSE 
WHO    KNOW    OF    THEM,   (AND   HE 
KP:EPS  THEM  RESPONSIBLE  FOR  HIS 
MARTYRDOM,  IN  TIMK  AND  ETER- 
NITY,    BEFORE     GOD     AND     THE 
WORLD,    BEFORE    JEW    AND  GEN- 
TILE.)TO  STATE  THEM  FAITHFULLY, 

AND  UK  WILL  GIVE  THEM  AXY  SPACE  DEMANDED 

IN  THIS,  Ills  ORGAN.  Now,  in  vicM  of  this,  he 
thinks  it  is  the  duty  of  a  people  who  thinks 
itself"  the  chosen  of  God,"  to  allow  a  preacher 
of  some  sort  to  exist  among  them.  We  have 
no  Bible  Society,  or  Tract  Society — no  home 
or  foreign  missionaries — no  colleges  or  univer- 
sities— no  hospitals,  or  Homes  for  the  Orphan 
and  Widow,to  support  among  as;  and  what  Is- 
raelite can  think  himself  dispensed   from  con- 


tribnting  a  small  amonot  to  a  religious  paper. 
We  well  know  much  good  is  done  among  us 
in  snpport  of  friends  and  relatives  abroad ; 
but  these  duties  do  not  exempt  us  from  doing 
at  least,  something  in  and  for  the  land  in  which 
weTrveTand  maEe  a  comfortab[eTIvTng7^r« 
the  sons  of  Israel  so  par->imoniou8  in  other  re- 
spect.-? do  they,  from  a  sense  of  duty,  forego 
f.  ivolons  amusements,  and  enjoyments? 

Fo'irthly:  There  are  some  who  refuse  taking 
the  papers  on  the  ground  of  ite  beinsr  inaccssi- 
ble  to  "them,  because  they  cannot  understand  it, 
being  written  in  a  language  of  which  they  are 
not  masters.     Admitted  ;  but  if  this   view  be 
correct,  if  ignorance  of  the  language,  in  which 
general    information  is  conveyed,  be  sufficient 
ground  for  withdrawing   contributions  to  the 
general  good— for  withholding  our  mite  from  a 
charity,    millions   of  pious   Christians   would 
I  have  a   right  to  withhold  their   contributions 
from  Bible,  Tract,  and   Missionary   Societies  ; 
!  since   the  former   print  and    the  latter  preach 

in  language  unknown  to  the  donors. 
[  If  thi-i  vitw  be  correct,  then  go  at  once  and 
look  up  your  synagogues;  for  who  would  con- 
tribute to  them,  as  all  that  is  recited  there  in" 
stead  of  prayer,  is  understood  by  but  very 
few —  the  only  d'fference  is  that  the  English 
only  require,  to  be  read  and  it,  at  once,  is  nn 
der.^tood  ;  for  the  parties  who  cannot  read  the 
English  to  aaderatand  it  when  read  to  tk^ni 
while  the  Hebrew  is  not  understood  even  when 
read. 

The  plea  of  some  in  excuse  for  not  support  • 
ing  their  own  organ,  on  the  ground  of  giving 
their  support  to  a  number  of  other  papers, ; 
this  is  too  futile  to  require  refutation. 

Neither  is  the  pleaof  hard  times  a  sufficient 
excuse,  there  are  superfluos  expenditures  of  a 
higher  amount  to  be  dispensed  with.     And  to 
those  to  whom  fifty  cents  a  month'is  an  object, 
We  willingly  will  let   them  have  a  copy  gratis 
Lastly  :  we  injustice  to  the   Jewish  inhabi. 
tants  of  San  Francisco,  state  that  the  above  ap. 
peal  is  chiefly  intended^  for  the  country  ;  as  in 
this  city,  almost  all   those  who  contribute  to 
other  benevolent  purposes,  are  contrilmtors  ta 
the  Gleaner.    At  a   meeting  of  the  H.  Y.  L 
Society  it  was  found  on  examination,that  all  the 
members  but  four    are  subscribers.     And  in 
conclusion  we  return  our  thanks  to  those  mem- 
bers of  the  Christian  Clergy,  and  a  number  of 
Christian  friends  who  so  kindly  used  efforts  in 
our  behalf — particularly   for  their  support  by 
advertiseing     patronage.     As    a   remarkable 
anomaly  we  nmst  mention,  that  while  the  Glea. 
erenjoys  tbegood  will  of  Jew  and  Gentile,  not 
one  member  of  our  famous  Beth   Haniinid  ash 
is  a  subscriber  to   the   Gleaner,  as  far  as  we 
could  ascertain. 

We  also  return  thanks  to  those  friends ,  Jew- 
ish and  Christian,  who  some  two  months  ago 
offered  us  pecuniary  aid,  which  at  that  time  we 
declined  accepting. 

May  this  hi  the  last  time  that  wc  are  com- 
pplled  to  have  recourse  to  so  unpleasant  a  task 
as  writing  the  above  article— may  the  future 
atone  for  the  past. 


Domestic  Medioine. 

Sore  Throat. — Use  pepper  tea  as  a  gargle. 
Or  loaf  sugar  and  Brandy.  Or  inhale  tie 
steam  of  hot  vinegar.  Cold  water  applied  to 
the  iimjHt  iff  the  bat  preventivo  for  sorT 
throat.  This  is  better  than  wearing  flannel. 
Some  advise  a  stocking  at  night   bound  on 

I  warm  from  the  foot.  Another  remedy:  Min 
penny  worth  of  pounded  camphor  with  a  wine 
glass  of  brandy,  pour  a  small   quantity  on  a 

I  lump  of  sugar,  and  allow  it  to  dissolve  in  the 
mouth,  every  hour  or  half  hour.  This  is  a  good 
pre^Jcription. 

Garole  kor  Sore  Throat. — On  twenty-five 
or  thirty  leaves  of  the  common  sage,  pour  a 
pint  of  boiling  water  ;  let  the  infusion  stand 
half  an  hour.  Add  vinegar  enough  to  make  it 
moderately  acid,  and  honey  to  the  taste,  Uae 
it  a  gargle,  several  times  a  day.  This  combi- 
nation of  the  astringent  and  emollient  princi- 
ple seldom  fails  to  produce  the  desired  effect. 

Cits. — In  case  of  a  common  cut,  bind  the 
lips  of  the  wound  together  with  a  rag,  and  put 
nothing  else  on.  If  the  cut  be  large,  and  so 
situated  that  it  cannot  be  l>onnd  up,  use  stick- 
ing plaster  cut  in  strips,  and  laid  obliquely 
across  the  cut.  If  necessary,  take  a  stitch  or 
two  with  a  needle  and  thread  on  each  side  of 
the  wound,  and  draw  them  together. 

TooTH-ACHE.^A  lew  drops  of  Cajeput  dil 
on  cotton  wool.  Or  apply  a  poultice  of  ginger 
to  the  cheek.  Or  a  poultice  of  chick-weed. 
Hops,  steeped  in  hot  water  ;  or  a  bag  of  hot 
ashes  applied  to  the  cheek. 

Burks. — Put  as  much  alum  in  a  bottle  of 
cold  water  as  ;vill  dissolve,  and  keep  it  ready  to 
!  apply  immediately  to  a  burn.  Wet  a  cotton 
cloth  in  this  solution,  and  lay  it  on  the  burn 
as  soon  as  possible.  When  it  becomes  dry,  wet 
it  again.  It  will  case  the  pain,  and  cure  the 
burn  in  twenty-four  hours,  if  applied  before  blis- 
ter.^ are  formed.  Cotton-wool  and  sweet  oil,  or 
turpentine,  is  good  for  small  burns. 

Su.M!«EB  Complaint. — A  table-spoonful  of 
cloves  and  a  table  spoonful  of  cinnamon — a 
small  nutmeg,  and  a  tea-spoonful  of  grated 
Rhubarb.  Steep  in  half  pint  of  water  ;  add 
loaf  sugar  and  two  table-spoonsfuls  of  French 
brandy — dose  a  small  table  spoonful  every  two 
or  three  hours. 

To  REMOVE  A  MOTE  FROM  THE  BTK. — Take 

a  horse-hair,  and   form  a  loop   by   bending  it 


O,  World,  DO  not  Shame  us  With  tfiy 
Honors. — Gen.  Walker  was  received  with  ac- 
clamations in  Now  Orleans,  aa  was  the  Hon. 
P.  T.  Herbert,  in  California.  The  murderers, 
Casey  and  Cora,  were  honored  with  an  escort 
of  carriages,  following  their  remains  to  the 
tomb ;  and  splendid  ornaments  (dis)  grace  the 
ground  now  desecrated  by  them — while  Socra- 
tes, the  wise,  had  to  empty  the  cup  of  poison; 
and  Aristides,  the  Just,  was  banished.  0, 
World,  witlibold  thy  honors,  lest  thou  put  us 
to  shame. 


The  death  of  the  body  no  more  ioternpts  the 
life  of  the  soul,  than  the  breaking  of  a  crystal 
glass  destroys  the  sunbeam  that  shiued  so 
brightly  in  it. 


round,  and  bringing  the  ends  together  ;  then 
raise  the  eyelid,  and  insert  the  loop  between 
the  lid  and  the  eye-ball,  then  let  the  lid  fall 
aga'n;  draw  out  the  hair,  and  with  it  whatever 
may  have  got  under  the  lid. 

Hoarseness. — For  hoarseness,  mix  scraped 
borseratlish  with  loaf  sugar.  After  standing 
twenty-four  hours,  add  water,  boil  to  a  syrup, 
and  strain,    Ooe  tea-spoonful  every  two  boars. 

NERvors  Headache — A  ground  mustard 
poultice,  applied  to  the  back  of  the  neck,  be- 
tween the  shoulders,  is  good. 

Chapped  Hands. — Rub  them  with  mutton 
tallow.  "  Pomade  divine,"  if  it  can  be  obtain- 
ed, is  most  efficacious. 

Bee  Stinus.— Hartshorn.  Salt  moistened 
with  water.     Laudanum. 

Hiccoiv.H. — A  camphor  lozenge,  or  a  littkj 
camphor  in  water  will  stop  a  hiccough  at  once 

Sailing  of  the  Steamer. — The  John  L 
Stevens  left  her  dock  last  monday  morning  at 
9  o'clock,  and  proceeded  to  sea.  She  had  on 
board  328  passengers,  of  whom  17  were  ladies 
and  24  children.  We  are  glad  to  see  this  de- 
crease in  emigration.  The  shipment  of  treas- 
ure amounted  to  81,<»4!),.377  84. 


Prkkerment. — Men  arc  often  treated  like 
casks,  the  empty  ones  are  raised  to  the  top 
while  the  full  ones  are  stowed  ta  the  bottom. 


Rich  Nugget.— The  Columbia  Gazette  says 
a  piece  of  pure  gold  was  taken  out  by  a  com- 
pany at  Duck  Bar,  on  the  Stanislaus  river  last 
week,  weighing  forty  and  a-half  ounces. 

We  have  a  good  prospect  for  a  San  Fran- 
cisco and  Stockton  railroad.

The  Ninth  Day  of  Ab. 

Onr  object  in  giving  the  following  article, 
from  the  "  British  Hebrew  Review,"  is,  to  lay 
before  our  raiders  the  views  and  feeling's  of  our 
people  about  the  event  of  the  ninth  of  Ab,  since 
the  destruction  to  our  days.  But  we,  at  the 
same  time,  shall  have  to  state  the  opinion  of  a 
different  party  in  relation  to  the  event  and  the 
comparison  of  both  will,  we  hope,  give  our 
readers  an  interesting  oppcrtnnitj  to  judge  of 
the  difference  of  the  spirit  of  the  past  age  and 
that  of  our  own. 


Jj 


the  aw.viversary  of  the  destruction  of  the 

temple  of    JERUSALEM, 

Every  nation  records  in  its  annual  seasons  of 
great  public  calamity  and  suffering,  times  when 
the  scourge  of  afll  ction  weighed  heavily  on  the 
land,  and  days  when  the  Divine  justice  exacted 
the  penalty   of  crime   and   misconduct.     But 
these  unfortunate  events  live   but  in  history  ; 
the  generation   by  whom  they  are  witnessed 
may  preserve  the  memory  of  what  it  has  under, 
gone  ;  but  their  children,  and   still  more  their 
grand  children,  have  no  sense    of  sufferings 
which  they  themselves  have  not  experienced 
National  pride  forbids  to  keep  alive  the  recol- 
lection of  national   humilition.     While  the  an- 
niversaries of  glorious  victories,  and  other  hap- 
py events,  are  celebrated  with  joyous   pomp ; 
while  vanity  delights  iu  the  splendid  commemo- 
ration of  events,  which  bear  testimony  to  a  na- 
tion's prowess  and  success,  no  attention  is  paid 
to  theannivirsary  of  a  humilating  defeat.     No 
one  thinks  of  commemorating   events  which 
wound  the  pride,  and  humble  the  vanity,  of  an 
entire  people.     Thus,  while  the  victor  triumphs 
in  the  recollection  of  his  success,  the  vanquish- 
ed obliterates  the  stigma  of  his  discomfiture 
from  his  mind  ;  and  the  searcher  after  truth  is 
compelled  to  examine  the   pages  of  history,  in 
order  to  arrive  at  a  knowledge  of  events,  which, 
though  perhaps  recent,  are  by  common  consent 
consigned  to   oblivion. 

Such  is  generally  the  case  with  every  nation  : 
The  only  exception  to  the  rule  is  formed  by  the 
Jews,  they  alone  perpetuate  the  memory  of 
their  disasters,  and,  in  each  revolving  year, 
mourn  their  defeat,  and  the  loss  of  their  nation- 
al independence,  as  fervently  and  as  sincerely, 
as  the  survivors  of  that  dreadful  catastrophe 
— who  had  endured  all  the  horrors  of  war  and 
famine  which  precede!  the  destruction  of  Jeru- 
salem, and  all  the  sufferings  of  slavery  by 
which  that  lamentable  event  was  followed, — 
could  possibly  have  done. 

Should  the  reason  be  asked,  why  the  Jews 
alone  keep  alive  the  memory  of  events  which 
must  be  humiliating  to  their  national  pride  ; 
— why  they  alone  renew  the  painful  and  deba 
sing  recollection  of  their  defeat  and  subjuga- 
tion ; — why  they  are  not  satisfied,  like  other 
nations,  with  consigning  the  harrowing  tale 
of  their  disasters  to  the  guardianship  of  histo- 
ry, but  mark  the  anniverssary  of  such  fatal 
occurrences  in  a  manner  which  mast  renew  the 
impression  on  the  minds  of  every  succeeding 
generation  : — Should  these  questions  be  asked," 
we  answer,  "  The  reason  is  two  fold,  and  found- 
ed on  the  particular  character  and  situation  of 
the  Jewish  people." 

The  first  is,  that  the  Jews,  for  whom  the  De- 
ity had  done  so  much,   could  not,  and    would 
not,  have  been  expelled  from  their  land,  unless 
they  had  offended  the  Deity  and  incurred  His 
wrath  by  their  sinful  violation   of  his   sacred 
commandments.    This  was  the  true  cause  of 
their  disasters,  their  defeats,   and  their   final 
subjugation.      And   as   they  could    not   feel 
proud  of  their  conquests  and  of  their  victories, 
because  they  well  knew  that  neither  their  own 
valor,  nor  their  known  pmdenee  and   skill, 
were  the  causes  of  their  success:     As  the  Sa. 
cred  Singer  justly  remarks,  "  For  they  got  not 
the  land   in  possession   by  their  own   sword, 
neither  did  their  own  arm  save  them  ;  but  thy 
right  hand,  and  thine  arm,  and  the  light  of  thy 


countenance,  because  thoa  hadst  a  favor  unto  , 
them:"  Psalm  xliv:  3,    Their  vanity  was  not 
affected  by  their  defeats,   which  they  equally 
well  knew  that  no  valor,  skill,  or  prudence  of  , 
their  own  could  avert;  for  an  unerring  anthor- 
4+»  K«.1  i-fXA  4Jw4n  "  But  it  aball  ^"'"ft  to  -P18S  _ 
if  thou  wilt  not  hearken  unto  the  voica  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  to  observe  to  do  all  his  com- 
mandments   and  statutes  which   I  command 
thee  this  day,  that  all  these  curses  shall  come 
upon  thee,  and  overtake  thee.    The  Lord  shall 
cause  thee  to  be  smitten  before  thine  enemies  ; 
thou  shalt  go  on  one  way  against   them,  and 
flee  seven  ways  before  them."— (Dent  xxvii:  15 
23.)     As  therefore  tbey  have  no  just  cause  to 
indulge  their  pride  in   the  commemoration  of 
fortunate  events,  their  vanity  cannot  be  mor- 
tified by  the  recollection   of  disastrous  occur- 
rences ;  but  iu  either  case  a  nobler   sentiment 
auinutes  their  breast.      When  they  rejoice  on 
the  anniversaries  of  any  single  mercy  or  dellv. 
erance  vouch-'afed  to  them  by  the    Deity,  it  is 
not  to  offer  incense  at  the  shrine  of  national 
pride,  or  to  boast  of  their  might  and  prowess; 
but  to  express  their  heart-felt  and  sincere  gra- 
titude to  their  great  and   glorious  Deliverer. 
And  when  in  sackcloth  and  ashes  they  fast  and 
mourn  on  the  anniversaries  of  grevious  calami- 
ties, which  h  ive  befallen  them,  their  sorrows 
are  not  wrung  from    them  by  mortified  vanity 
or  humbled  self-conceit ;  but  it  is  the  memory 
of  the  grevious  sins  which  led  to  their  ffearfnl 
I>uni»hment :  It  is  the  recollection  of  their  base 
ingratitude  towards  their  Supreme  Benefactor, 
of  their  foul  and  unnatural  rebellion   against 
his  will  and  commandments,  which  weighs  them 
to  the  earth.     It  is  the   trumpet  voice  of  con- 
science which  thunders  in  their  cars  the  fear- 
ful  denunciation    of  their  God,  "  If  you    will 
walk  contrary  unto  me,  then   will  I  also  walk 
contrary  unto  you,  and  will  punish  you  yet  sev- 
en times  for  your  sins ;  and  I  will  bring  a  sword 
upon  you,  that  shall  avenge  the  quarrel  of  my 
covenant."     (Leviticus  xxxvi.  '23,  24,  25.)     It 
is  heartfelt  penitence  which  extorts  from  them 
the  confcssiiin  that  the  judgments  of  the  Ix)rd 
are  righteous,  and  that  the  punishment  which 
He  inflicted  on  them,  however  grevious,  does  not 
exceed  the  measure  of  their    iniquities.     Such 
arc  the   motives   which   combine  to  form  one 
cause  why  the  Israelites  renew  the  sense  of  past 
suffering  on  the  anniversary  days  of  public  ca 
lamities. 

The  second  reason  is,  that  the  Israelites,  who 
were  to  be  a  kingdom  of  priests,  and  an  holy 
people,  and   who,  by   their  example,  were   to 
]ead  the  nations  of  the  earth  to  a  knowledge  of 
the  trne  God,  were  gificd   with  every    needful 
means  for  giving  due  affect   to  th>-ir   mission. 
For  that  purpose,  the  attention  of  all  the  neigh, 
boring  kingdoms   was  excited  by  the  miracu- 
lous events   which  attended   their  exit  from 
Egypt  and  their   settlement   in   the  liand  of 
Promise.     For  that  purpose,  likewise,  the  code 
of  laws  which  the  Deity   was  pleased  to  grant 
them,  contained   various  ritual     enactments, 
which  prescribed  and  established  numerous  sac- 
rifices and  offerings.     But  these  sacrifices  they 
were  not  to  bring,  except   in  one  place  only  , 
As  Ho!y  Writ  commands,  "  When  ye  go  over 
Ihe  Jordan,  and   dwell  in  the   land   which  the 
I^rd  your  God  giveth  you  to  inherit,  and  when 
he  ffiveth  you  rest  from  all  your  enemies  round 
about,  so  that  ycu  dwell  in  safety  :     Then  there 
shall  be  a  place  which  the  Lord  your  God  shah 
choose  to  cause  his  name  to  dwell  there  :  thither 
shall  you  bring  all  that  I  command  you— your 
burnt-offerings,  aud  your  sacrifices,  your  tithes, 
and  the  heave-offering  of  your  hand,  and  all 
your  choice  vows  which  ye  vow  unto  the  Lord. 
Take  heed  to   thyself  that  thou    offer   not  thy 
burnt-offerings  in  every  place  that  thou  seest : 
But  in  the  place  which  the  Lord  shall  choose 
in  one  of  thy  tribes,  there  thou  shalt  off<ir  thy 
burnt-offerings,  and  there  thou  shalt  do  ail 
that  I  command   thee."  (Deuteronmy   xii.  10, 
11, 1 3. 14 )  This  place,  rendered  sacred  by  the 
choice  of  the  Deity  was  the  temple   of  Jeru- 
salem, which  was  sanctified   by  a  visable  sign 


of  the  Divine  preMnce,  as  the  Sacred  Scrip- 
tures inform  us  :  "  And  it  came  to  pass  when 
the  priests  were  ceme  out  of  the  holy   place 
that  the  cloud  filled  the  house  of  the  Lord  :  so 
that  the  priests  could  not  stand  to  minister  be- 
cause of  the  cloud,  for  the  glory  of   the  Lord 
badMed^lhe  louse  oT  theXord"  ^T  ^nfs  tttt, 
10,11,)     And   again  :"  Now  when   Solomon 
had  made  an  end  of  praying,  the  fire  came  down 
from  heaven  and  consumed  the  burnt-offerings 
and  the  sapiifiec'.  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
filled  the  hoiise  :     And  the  priests  cou'd  not 
enter  into  the  house  of  the  Lord ,  because  the 
glory  of  the  Lord  had  filled  the   Lord's  house. 
Aud  when  all  the  children  of  Israel  saw  bow 
the  fire  came  down,  and   the  glory  of  the  Lord 
upon  the  house,  they  bowed  themselves  with 
their  faces  to  the  ground  upon  the  pavement, and 
worshiped  and  praised  the  Lord"  (2  Chronicles 
VII,  1,  2,  3.)     And  well  they  might  pra'se  the 
I.ord  :  for  no  other   earthly   temple  ha3  ever 
been  so  highly  favored  by  the  D.ity  as  that 
H  8  visible  presence  should  sanctify  and  ap- 
prove the  rites  and  worship  performed  in  that 
temple.     No  other  system   of  faith  has  ever 
been  authenticated  in  the  fullest  and  most  con- 
vincing manner,  as  was  done  at  Jerusalem  iu 
the  presence  of  the  assembled   multitudes  of 
Israel.     No  other  place  en  earth   does  there- 
fore, in  a  religious  point  of  view,  possess  that 
nuiversal  importance,   as  the   hallowed  spot 
where  the  ^^'^^^j  visivble   token    of  the   divine 
presence  of  the  Deity,  dwell  on  the  mercy-seat 
between  the  cherubim.    This  great  importance 
is  confessed  by  all  believers  in  revealed  religion. 
To  Christians  and   Moslems,  Jerusalem  is  an 
"  holy  city."  as  well  as  to  us  Jews.     Sanguin- 
ary wars  have  been  carried  on  between  the  ad- 
herents of  these  two  religious  syHtems  for  the 
possession  of  a  ;cily  which     both   considered, 
alike  sacred.  There  is  scarcely  an  inch  of  ground 
in  and  about  Jerusalem   which  has  not   been 
saturated  wiih  the  blood  of  its  defenders  and 
assailants  :  And  even  now  after  a  lapse  of  cen- 
turies, when  the  fervor  of  enthusiasm  has  sub- 
sided, which  opposed   Europe  to    Asia  in  san- 
guinary conflict ;  when  feelings  more  akin  to 
the  sacred  spirit  of  religion,  and  the  dictates 
of  reason,  are  gradually  gaining  ground  among 
mankind,  cold   indeed   mast  be  the  heart  and 
mind  which  can  oontemplate  Jerusalem,  the 
cradle  of  religion,  the  seat  of  the  living  God, 
the  favoured  spot   which  He  deigned  to  sanc- 
tify with  a  visible  sign  of  His  presence,  with- 
out prof.mnd  feelings  of  reverence  and  awe,  and 
without  dropping  a  tear  at   the  change   from 
wh  it  once  it  was,  to  what  now  it  is.

Humility. 

Down  in  a  green  and  shady  bed 

A  modest  violet  grew; 
Its  atalk  was  bent,  it  hang  its  head, 

As  if  to  hide  from  view. 

And  yet  it  was  a  lovely  flower 

Its  colors  bright  and  fair; 
It  might  have  graced  a  rosy  bower 

Instead  of  biding  there. 

Yet  there  it  was  content  to  bloom, 

In  modest  tints  array'd 
And  there  diETused  a  sweet  perfume 

Within  the  silent  shade. 

Then  let  me  to  the  valley  go, 

This  pretty  flower  to  se^; 
That  I  may  ako  learn  to  grow 

In  sweet  hamiiity 

Wht  did  hy  dkak  Mamma  lkt  me  Pijiy 
WITH  THE  Scissors? — Children  often  think 

thnmBolTOK  Tn'^^^'   ^wiaaf  fKnn  tnor  nrn  •  and 

when  wo  will  not  alloir  them  their  own 
ways,  they  think  it  ankind,  and  they  turn 
cross.  Now  there  are  certain  objects  they 
never  ought  to  be  allowed  to  get  hold  of. 
Knives,  forks,  pins,  needles,  matches,  gun- 
powder, and  pistols,  are  quite  ill-placed  in 
the  hands  of  children.  There  are  hundreds 
of  innocent  objects  that  will  amuse  a  child, 
and  will  serve  it  to  pass  its  time,  and  to 
improve  its  mind  by  using  them,  without 
exposing  them  to  danger. 

Why  did  my  dear  Mamma  let  me  i>lay 
\fith  the  scissors?  so  did  a  poor  unfortu- 
nate girl  lament,  for  being  allowed  the 
use  of  scissors  at  an  age  when  she  did  not 
know  how  to  use  them.  It  was  one  fine 
morning  a  neighbor  came  in  to  see  little 
Ellen's  mother.  The  two  ladies  had  some 
quiet  and  pleasant  conversation,  while  lit- 
tle Ellen,  a  beautiful  girl  about  five  years 
of  age,  sat  on  one  side  of  the  room  amu- 
sing herself  with  cutting  pieces  of  patch- 
work, from  cloth  given  her  by  her  mother 
to  play  with.  She  would  now  play,  now 
talk,  and  sometimes  hum  a  little  tane  for 
herself.  Some  time  after,  the  neighbor 
left  the  house,  and  the  mother  left  the 
room,  the  child  continuing  at  her  play. 
Only  about  an  hoar  had  passed,  and  the 
lady  called  at  the  house  again.  In  the 
room  where  bat  an  hour  before  all  was  so 
quiet  and  pleasant,  how  different  did  she 
find  every  thing  I  all  was  confusion.  Poor 
Ellen  was  no  longer  playing,  chatting  and 
singing.  No,  she  lay  on  the  bed  ;  her 
mother  was  almost  raving  ;  three  physic- 
ians, stood  beside  the  bed — and  what  a 
light  did  little  Ellen  present?  It  would 
make  you  feel  faint,  were  I  to  describe  it: 
So  I  will  tell  you  in  a  few  words.  Ellen 
wished  to  force  the  scissors  through  a 
patch — they  were  not' sharp  pointed,  bat 
rounded,  and  would  not  go  through  easily ; 
she  pressed  hard,  and  the  scissors  slipped 
from  the  material  into  her  eye,  entirely 
removing  the  ball.  It  was  a  horrid  sight 
to  see,  and  to  what  agony  did  it  pat  the 
parent  and  the  child  I  Beaatiful  Ellen 
was  blind  of  an  eye;  and  is  disfigured  for 
the  remainder  of  her  life.  She  is  often 
^eard  to  saj:  "  0  that  my  dear  mother 


had  never  let  me  pTay  with  sdyors."— 
May  you,  my  dear  children,  lefTik  Iroin 

this  story,  f  which  I  assure  you  m  true, ;  to 
be  warned  by  those  that  know  better  than 
yon,  and  who  in  love  to  you,  often  take 
from  you  what  othpr"^'^^  ywight,  hurt  yon. 
Submit  patiently,  lest  you  have  to  suffer

The  nAND?o.\iE  Soui..— Oneday  a  little 
boyfrom  the  South,  who  was  on  a  visit  to 
the  city,  was  taking  his  first  lesson  in  the 
art  of  "  sliding  down  the  hill,"  when  he 
found  liis  feet  rather  in  too  close  contact 
with  a  lady's  rich  silk  dress.  Surprised, 
mortified  and  confused,  he  sprang  from 
his  sled,  and  cap  in  hand,  commenced  an 
earnest  apology. 

"  I  beg  your  pardon,  ma'am  ;  I  am 
very  sorry." 

"  Never  mind,"  exclaimed  the  lady, 
"  there  is  no  great  harm  done,  and  you 
feel  worse  about  it  than  I  do." 

"  But,  dear  madam,"  said  the  boy,  as 
his  eyes  filled  with  tears,  "  your  dress  is 
ruined.  I  thought  that  you  would  be  an- 
gry with  rae  for  being  so  careless." 

"  0,  no,"  replied  the  lady, "  better  have 
a  soiled  drcs*  than  a  ruffled  temper." 

"  Oh,  wn't  she  a  beauty  I"  exclaimed 
the  lad,  as  the   lady  passed  on. — Pacific

What  do  bou  Crv  for.  Mamma? — "The 
Lord  gave,  and  the  Lord  hath  taken 
away  ;  blessed  be  the  name  of  the  Lord. 
In  all  this  Job  sinned  not,  nor  charged 
God  foolishly.— Job  i:  21,  22. 

A  j)ious  lady  who  had  lost  a  very  prom- 
ising child,  was  sitting  one  day  with  her 
little  daughter  of  about  three  years  of  oga 
by  her  side,  and  conversing  with  her  re- 
specting the  death  of  her  little  brother. 
She  told  her  that  God  had  taken  him  to 
heaven,  and  as  she  spoke  she  wept.  The 
little  girl,  after  a  few  moments  of  pensive 
thought,  asked  her  mother,  "Was  it 
proper  for  God  to  take  H—  to  heaven?" 
To  which  she  replied  in  the  affirmative, 
"  Well,  then,"  said  the  child,  "if  it  was 
proper  for  God  to  take  him  awny,  what 
do  you  cry  for,  mamma?" 


Thk  small  and  great  are  there. — Job 

iii:  19. 

After  Saladin  the  Great  had  subdued 
Egypt,  passed  the  Euphrates,  and  con- 
quered cities  without  number, — after  he 
had  taken  Jerusalem,  and  performed  ex- 
traordinary exploits  in  those  wars  which 
superstition  had  stirred  up  for  the  recov- 
ery of  the  Holy  Land,  he  finished  his  life 
in  the  performance  of  an  action,  which 
ought  to  be  transmitted  to  the  latest  po&' 
terity.  A  moment  before  he  uttered  his 
last  sigh,  he  called  the  herald,  who  had 
carried  his  banners  before  him  in  all  his 
battles  ;  he  commanded  him  to  fasten 
to  the  top  of  a  lance  the  shroud  in 
which  the  dying  prince  was  soon  to  be 
buried.  "  Go,"  said  he,  "carry  the  lance, 
anfurl  the  banner;  and,  while  you  lift  up 
this  standard,  proclaim — '  This,  this  is  all 
that  remains  of  all  the  glory  of  Saladin 
the  Great,  the  conquercr  and  king  of  the 
empire.' "

An  Eastern  paper  relates  the  following: 
"  A  grocer  in  Worcester,  Mass.,  recently 
Irft  a  hogsheod  of  molasses  standing  in  his 
back  yard  with  the  head  out.  A  little 
Irish  boy  climbed  np  on  the  edge  to  get  a 
chance  at  sticking  his  fingers  in  the  sweet 
fluid,  and  then  licking  them,  when  he  lost 
his  balance,  reeled  and  over  he  went,  head 
first  into  the  molasses.  He  was  pulled 
out  by  the  heels,  and  led  home,  "so  stuck 
up"  that  he  would  not  speak  to  his  old 
friends.  They  had  a  good  time  that 
night  in  the  shanty  wringing  out  the 
clothes  and  sc:  oping  the  molasses  from  his 
hair  into  pails."

tww^n  tweoty  and  thirty  teit.  Two  days  after,

to  H.rpad.  till  the  whole  space  between  the  An- 
to'vft  and  \be  tcm[le  was  cleared. 

Bat  if  ihe  fioly  pieeim-t-s  were  thus  to  pcr-'sh 
by  fire,  they  determined  th<y  should  not  fall  uu- 
arcngedf    Along  the  whole  western  cloisters 
t'jvy  filled  the  xpaee  between   the  h.ams  and 
the  ronf  with  dry  wood,  snlpimr  and  bilumen  ; 
th- V  then  retreated  from  the  defence,  as  if  quite 
t-xliausted.     The  more  prudent   of  the   assail 
ants  BiispticU'd  some  stratagem,  but  many  im- 
mediately   applied    the  foiling  laddeis,  and 
moaned  boldly  to  the  roof.     At  that    ntnnt 
tb.  J>  ws  below  sat  fire  to  the  train;  the  flumes 
r;Hhe<l,  roaring  and  bla/zng  up  among  the  as- 
tonished assailants.     Some   flung  thcmselTcfi 
down  headlong  into  the  city,  others  amoiii,'  the 
eoeroy  :  there  they   lay   brui.sed  to  death,  or 
Willi  broken  limbs:  many    were   burned   alive 
(,n<l  others  fell  on  their  own  sword*.     In  va'i, 
they  looked  to  their  companions  below  iti  vain 
th^y  beheld  the  sorrow  of  Caesar  himself,  who. 
though  they  acted  without  orders,  conimistra 
ted  their  fate.     Escape  or  succor   were  alike 
impossible  ;  a  few  on   the  broader  part  of  the 
TO ':'  fought   valiantly,  and  died  to  a  man  with 
th  ir  arms  in  their  hands.      Thus  a  gre.il  part

sat  tire  to  that  of  the  north,  and  laid  it  in  ashes

of  K  edron 

[i.  the  mean  time,  the  famine  continued  itn 
ftarlul  ravage?.  Men  would  fight  even  their 
dearest  friends,  for  the  most  miserable  morsel, 
rite  very  dead  were  searched,  as  ttiough  tln'y 
miu;! It  conceal  some  scrap  of  food.  Even  the 
robbrrt  began  to  suffer  severely ;  they  went 
prowling  about  like  mad  dogs,  or  reeling,  like 
drunken  men,  from  weakness  ;  and  entered  and 
search,  d  the  same  house  twice  or  thrice  in  the 
same  hour.  'Che  most  loathsome  and  di.xgust- 
ini;  food  was  sold  at  an  enormous  price.  They 
gnawed  their  beltfl,  shoes,  and  even  the  hath- 
crn  coats  of  their  shields— chopped  hay  and 
Pboots  of  trees  sold  at  high  prices.  Yet  what 
whore  all  those  horrors  to  that  which  followed? 
Tncn^  was  a  woman  of  Perea,  from  the  village 
of  Hethezob— Mary,  tte  daughter  of  Eleazer. 
She  possessed  considerable  wealth  when  she 
too'ii  refuge  in  the  city.  Day  after  day  she 
had  been  plundered  by  the  robbers,  whom  she 
had  provoketl  by  her  bitter  imprecations.  No 
one,  h'.wever,  would  mercifully  put  an  end  to 
her  n  sery,  and  her  mind,  maddened  by  wrong, 
her  body  preyed  upon  by  famine,  she  wildly 
rqaolved.on  an  expedient  which  might  gratify 
at  O'Ci' her  vengeance  and  her  hunj^r.  She 
had  an  infant— she  seized  it,  and  the  word  of 
prophcey  uttered  fifteen  hundred  years  before, 

was  fallillal: 

"  .\nd  thou  sh&lt  eat  the  fruit  of  thine  own 
body,  the  flesh  of  thy  sons,  and  of  thy  daugh- 
ter'., -  in  the  siege  and  in  the  sttaightneas 
wher'-^ith  thine  enemies  shall' distress  thee  ;

very  delicate,  liis  eyes  shall  be  evil  toward  his

eat ;  because  ho  hath  nothing  Icfl  him  in  the 
eiege,  and  in  the  straitness,  wherewith  thine 
enemies  shall  distrew  thee  in  all  thy  gate.

thee  in  thy  g^tee." 

The  smoke  and  tie  ^:mell  of  food  quickly 
reached  the  robbers— they  forced  her  door, 
and  with  horrible  threats  commanded  her  to 
give  up  what  she  had  been  feasting  ou.  She 
replied,  with  horrible  indifforencc,  that  she  had 
carefully  reserved  her  pood  friends  a  part  of 
her  meal— she  showed  them  the  remains  of  hi  r 
her  child.  The  savage  men  sto  ^d  speeclile^s  ^t 
which  she  cried  out  with  a  shrill  voice.  "Eat, 
for  I  have  eaten — be  ye  not  more  delieate  than 
a  woman,  or  more  tender  hearted  than  anio'h- 

er or  if  ye  are  too    religious  t/O   touch   such 

food,  T  have  eaU'n  half  ulrcady.  have  me  tl.e 
rest  "  They  rcUred,  pale  and  trembling  with 
horror— the  story  spread  rapidly  through  the 
ei!y.  and  reached  the  Roman  camp  :  where  it 
was  first  heard  with  incredulity,  afterward 
with  the  deepest  commisseration. 

The  destruction  of  the  outer  cloisters  bad 
left  the  Romans  masters  of  the  great  c^ort  of 
tl  e  Gentiles  ;  on  the  8th  of  August  the  engines 
began  to  butter  the  eastern  chambers  of  the  in- 
ner ('ourt.  For  six  previous  days  the  largpst 
and  most  powerful  of  the  battering  rams  had 
""ptTtTPd^n_ 
comp.ictncs?  of  the  stones  had  resisted  all  ef 
forts  ;  other  troops  at  the  ?ame  time  endeav 
ored  to  undermine  the  northern  gate,  but  with 
no  better  success  ;  nothing  therefore  remained 
but  to  fix  the  scaling  ladders,  and  storm  the 
cloisters.  The  Jews  made  no  resistance  to 
.their  mounting  the  walls  ;  but  as  soon  as  they 
reaf-hed  the  top  hurled  thrm  down  hf  adlong.or 
slew  them  before  they  could  cover  themselves 
with  their  shields.  In  some  places  they  thrust 
down  the  ladders,  loaded  with  armi  d  men,  who 
fell  back  and  were  dashed  to  pieces  on  the 
pavement.  Some  of  the  standard  bearers  had 
led  the  way,  they  also  were  repelled,  and  the 
Jews  remained  masters  of  the  Roman  eagles. 
On  the  side  of  the  Romans  fell  many  distin- 
guished soldiers  ;  on  that  of  the  Jews,  EIcaBcr, 
tl.e  nephew  of  Simon,  one  of  the  leaders.  Re- 
pnlsod  on  all  hands  from  the  top  of  the  wall, 
Titus  commanded  fire  to  be  set  to  the  gates. 

No  sooner  had  the  blazing  torches  been  ap- 
plied to  the  gates,  than  the  silver  plates  with 
which  they  were  covered,  heated,  the  wood 
kindled,  the  whole  flamed  up,  and  spread  rap- 
idly to  the  cloisters.  Like  wild  beasts  envi- 
roned in  a  burning  forest,  the  Jews  saw  the 
awful  circle  of  fire  hem  them  on  every  side, 
their  courage  sank,  they  stood  gasping,  mo- 
tionless, and  helpless  ;  not  a  band  endeavored 
to  quench  the  flames,  or  stop  the  silent  progress 
of  the  conflagration.  Yet  still  fierce  thoughts 
of  desperate  vengeance  were  brooding  in  their 
hearts.  Through  the  whole  night,  and  the 
next  day,  the  fire  went  on  consuming  the  whole 
range  of  cloisters.  Titus  at  length  gave  orders 
that  it  should  br?  extinguished  ;  and  the  way 
through  the  gates  leveled  for  the  advance  of 
the  legionaifies.  A  council  of  war  was  sum- 
moned, in  which  the  expediency  of  destroying 
the  mngnifioent  building  was  solemnly  dis. 
cussed.  It  consisted  of  six  of  the  chief .  fficera 
of  the  army;  among  the  rest  of  Tiberius  Alex- 
ander, whose  offerings  had  formerly  enriched 
the  splendid  edifice.  Three  of  the  council  in- 
sisted on  the  uecesity  of  destroying  forever  this 
citadel  of  a  mutinous  people  ;  it  was  no  longer 
a  temple,  but  a  fortress,  and  to  be  treated  like 
a  military  stronghold.  Titus  inclined  to  mild- 
er counsels  ;  the  magnificence  of  the  budding 
had  made  a  strong  impression  upon  his  mind, 
and  he  was  rckctant  to  destroy  what  m'ght  be 
considered  as  one  of  the  wonders  of  the  Roman 
empire.  Alexander,  Fronto,  arid  Ceroalis  con-

the  antic-.pationsofthe  proprietor.  The  throng

Th«  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliHtive,

the  root  and  eradicates  it  etfectnally.  Hun-

according  to  the  proper  directions  have  b«.«D 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  baffled  all

San  Francisco,  10th  Nov.  1860 

I  here  publicly  state  thatl  was  afflicted  lor 
many  months  with  severe  bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.  I 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  thie 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.  I  lost  all  my 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.  My  husbsnd 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on  to  New 
York  to  try  a  cure,  in  this  perplex!^,  I  call*^ 
on  Dr.  Brune,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.  I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  mc  to  Dr.  Brun-, 
under  whose  care  I  became  healthy  andi-trong 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  pnbliely  to  make 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  suffereri'  know  that 
Dr.  Brnns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  tb«:r 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health.

lanes  on  Beceiving  a  Daguerreotype. 

BY  C.  ■.  B. 


Tea !  here's  tby  picture,  husband  mine — 

So  true  to  life  it  doth  appear, 
Tbat  e'en  the  smile  upon  thy  lips 

Was  caught,  and  qaick  recorded  here. 
And  yet  °o  artist  ceaseless  toiled 

From  dewy  morn  'till  dusky  even; 
Nature  and  Art  thy  form  hath  sketched, 

Calling  to  aid  the  light  of  Heaven. 
Heaven  bless  Dagucrreans !  did  they  knovr 

The  happiness  they  spread  around— 
To  tempt  them  from  their  holy  work 

No  treasure  on  earth  could  be  found: — 
For,  gasing  on  the  pictured  forms 

Of  absent  ones  we  cannot  see  ; 
It  thrills  each  feeling  of  the  heart. 

And  brings  a  tear  to  the  e'e. 
And  as  I  scan  thy  features  o'er— 

So  finely  traced,  so  true  and  clear— 
Upon  the  world  I  close  my  eyes 

And  with  thee  hold  communion  here. 
Aud  thought,  that  quickly  traverses 

O'er  hill  aud  dell,  o'er  land  and  sea, 
Like  airy  bird,  wide  wings  its  way. 

Nor  rests  its  pinion— but  on  thee. 
The  present  and  the  hippy  past 

Alike  my  mind  then  wanders  o'er. 
Trusting  the  future  hath  for  as 

Still  more  of  happiness  in  store. 
ty.imiy'Bt  thou  for  full  many«7t»r

Look  free  from  care  as  thou  dost  now, 
And  may  Time's  hand  but  gently  trace 

Its  furrows  on  thy  manly  brow — 
And  as  thy  clustering  locks  are  bleaehed 

Above  thy  forehead,  one  by  one, 
0  may  it  be  to  note  some  pure, 

Some  good  and  noble  action  done. 
And  if,  again,  when  years  gone  by, 

Dagucrreans  shall  thy  image  trace, 
'T  will  be  a  blessing  then  to  know 

The  heart  is  true  though  changed  the  face. 

Thk  Bible  to  bb  Rrviskd. — A  movement, 
which,  doubtless,  will  eventuate  in  success,  ia 
sbout  being  inaugurated  in  England,  which  has 
for  its  object  a  revision  of  the  King  James' 
translation  of  the  Bible,  "by  nothority."  The 
received  English  Bible  is  notoriously  defective, 
and  many  learned  men,  among  whom  are  the 
heads  of  the  Universities  of  Oxford  and  Cam- 
bridge, have  expressed  themselves  in  favor  of 
revision.  The  plan  suggested  is  to  obtain  an 
act  of  Parliament  in  favor  of  the  movement, 
and  then  invite  the  most  approved  Hebrew  and 
Greek  scholars  of  England,  and  secondarily  of 
the  world,  to  engage  by  correspondence,  in  the 
ta-k.  The  emendations  are  not,  however,  to 
be  embodied  in  the  text,  but  for  the  present  to 
be  placed  on  the  margin,  and  ultimately  to  be 
removed  therefrom,  and  substituted  in  the  body 
of  the  work  for  the  present  reading.  When 
the  improved  version  has  progressed  thus  far, 
it  is  to  receive  the  royal  sanction,  and  to  be 
read  in  all  the  churches,  "by  authority."  This, 
we  suggest,  is  the   wisest  course  that  can  be 

adopted  -

A  Vboetablk  Skrpemt. — A  new  organiaa- 
tion  of  nature,  being  pronounced  by  naturalists 
the  connecting  link  between  animal  and  vegeta. 
blelite,  has  been  found  in  the  interior  of  Africa, 
in  the  form  of  a  serpent,  with  a  flower  for  its 
head.  This  singular  freak  of  nature  is  spotted 
in  the  body,  drags  itself  along  and  the  flower 
forming  its  head  is  bell  shaped,  and  contain* 
a  viscid  fluid.  Flies,  and  other  insects,  attract- 
ed by  the  smell  of  the  juice,  enter  the  flower 
where  they  are  caught  by  the  adhesive  matter. 
The  flower  then  cIoms,  and  remains  shut 
until  the  prisoners  are  transformed  into  chyle. 
The  indigestible  portions,  such  as  the  head  aud 
wings,  are  thrown  eat  by  spiral  openings.  The 
vegetable  serpent  has  a  skin  resembling  leavts, 
a  white  and  soft  flesh,  and  instead  of  a  bony 
skeleton  and  cartilaginous  frame,  is  filled  with 
a  yellow  marrow.  The  natives  consider  it  a 
delicions  food.

Tho  Elogy 

Ot^  the  occasion  of  the  ninth  of  Ab,  which 
fell  this  week,  we  lay  before  our  readers  an  el- 
egy—rlie  last  reei  ted  in  tho  Synagogue  in  the 
niorniDg  S(  rylce  of  that  day.  We  regret  that 
the  beauty  of  the  original  is  almost  wholly  lost 
in  tlie  translation.  In  the  original  it  consists, 
with  (he  exception  of  the  first  and  last  senten 
ces  of  cloven  stanzas,  of  two  distichs  each. 
Every  distich  commences  with  a  new  letter  in 
propreHsion.  The  music  accompanying  it  will 
we  hope, prove  acicplable  to  a  number  of  our 
reedurs.  The  solo  is  to  be  snng  slowly,  and 
repeated  by  the  choir  more  quickly. 

At  tiik  Elictiom  of  officers  of  Ophir  Lodge.

Rabbi  Akoba  Ben  Joseph. 

R;,bbi  Akeba  Beu   Joseph,  and  some  of  his 
diseiplcs  wv;re   passing  the  ruins,  of  the  holy 
temple,  when  ft  jackal  came  out  from  the  place 
where  the  Holy  of  Ho!ie.-i  formerly  stood,  where 
the  glory  of  the   Lord  had   formerly   throned 
over  the  cherubim.     His   companions  begun 
bitterly  to  weep  at  the  sight,  while  the  llabbi 
burst  out  into  joy,     His   astonished   disciples 
exclaimed.  "Rabbi,   why  dr^st  thon  ktigh?" 
.'  Why  do  ye  weep?"  was  his  reply.    "  How 
ean  we  refrain  from  weeping,"  answered  they, 
"  when  we  see  tho  glorious  and  holy  temple  of 
the  Ix)rd  in  ashe«,  the  idolatrous  heathen  lord- 
ing it  over  the  ruins,  and  that  moet  sacrin]  ppot, 
where  the  I/)rd  of  the  universe  deigned  visibly 
to  dwell—that  spot  is  now  the  abode  of  nr.- 
elean  animals  ?     How  is  it  possible  that  the 
eyes  which  see  this  doatructiou  and   de«ecra 
tion— caused  by  our  sins,  and  those  of  oar  an- 
cestors,-should  abstain  from  shedding  abnn 
daut  tears,  or  the  oppressed  bosom  from  giving 
vent  to  its  poignant  grief?-     -  Aye, '  said  the 
Rabbi,  "the  prophet  said,  -'nie   mountain   of 
Zion  is  desolate  ;  jackals  walk  upon  it ;  and  ye 
weep  because  ye  have  seen  this  fcarfa!  denun- 
ciation fulfilled'  but  tho  same  prophet  has  like- 
wise said, '  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold.  I  will 
bring  again  the  captivity  of  JacobV  tenia,  and 
have  mercy  on  his  dwelling  places  ;  and   the 
city  shall  be  rebuilt  upon  her  ruins,  and  the 
temple  shall  be  restored   to  its  former  manner. 
And  out  of  them  shall  proceed  thanksgivings, 
and  tho  voice  of  rejoicing  :  And  I   will  multi- 
ply them,  and   they  shall  not  be  diminished  ; 
I  will  glorify  them,  and  they  shall  not  bo  hum- 
bUd.' " 


adult  were  translated  and  prepared  by  him- 
He  was  the  first  to  introduce  preaching  in  the 
vernacular  in  synagogues  in  the  United  States 
He  was  the  first  editor  of  a  Jewish  periwlical 
in  the  Uuion.  (The  Occident,  in  existence  now. 
the  fourteenth  year.)  But  all  these  labors 
were  of  no  avail  with  the  i>eople  whom  he 
served  in  the  ministry  with  rare  :ccal,  to  their 
honor,  for  the  space  of  twenty  mc  years. 

We  need  not  enquire  after  the  causc*-we 
can  readily  tell.  After  this  long  service,  there 
was  no  other  cause  alleged,  nor  could  there  any 
bo  brousht  forw  ird  against  him,  which  wottld 
not  have  served  as  n  pretence  five,  ten,  fifteen,

expressed  that  he  was  never  married.  "  Tbil

Thi  Popn.ATroic  or  the  Wohu).— Accor- 
ding to  the  American  Almanac  for  1857,  the 
most  reliable  estimates  of  the  population  of  the 
globe  are  as  follows  : 

Africa,  100,000  000;  America,  57,676,882 ; 
Asia  and  Islands.  626,000,000;  Anatraliaand 
Islands,  1,248.000;  Europe,  263,51 7.321  ;Pol-

He  is  a  plain  spo- 
ken man  ;  he  is  an  honest  man :  he  can  pay  no 
c.Pipliinents-cannot  flatter,  nor  crawl,  nor 
cringe.  Besides,  his  spirit  has  not  been,  as  it 
se^ms,  in  bis  earlier  years,  fuUy  disciplined,  to 
a  full  submission  and  an  implicit  obedience  to 
the  wishes  and  tho  will  of  the  people  whom  he 
bad  to  serve.  The  m'nister  and  his  friends 
were  in  the  minority,  and  he  lof;t  his  office,  and 
not  even  a  pension  was  granted  to  him  after  to 
long  and  faithful  a  discharge  of  dutie«.  He  had 
to  see  his  place  supplied  by  a  succeF^or  who 
was  then  quite  a  stranger  in  this  country. 

If  it  be  asked  what  was  the  immediate  cause 
that  gave  occasion  for  a  change,  that  came 
quite  unexpected,  both  to  the  incumbent  and 
the  public,  we  state,  that  it  was  merely  ac- 
cidt  ntal.  It  cannot  bo  expected  for  an  honest 
man  to  be  in  office  twenty-one  years,  without 
having  been  put  under  the  necessity  of  diro 
blidging  ccrUin  members  of  the  synagogue— 
who  can  avoid  offences,  and  what  good  man 
will  sacrifice  principles  to  popularity?  And  bo 
there  were  for  years  some  men  who  were  oppo- 
sed to  the  minister  ;  but  while  no  additional 
fuel  was  added  to  the  fire,  it  could  not  spread. 
But,  at  last,  a  step  was  Uken  by  Mr.  Leeser. 
which  brought  matters  to  a  criwis.  As  long 
as  he  allow^  the  members  to  manage— to  dis- 
jiense  tht^ffice  one  year  at  a  time,  matters 
wcnt>fas  before.  IVut  Mr.  L.  thought  the

him,  and  the  probation  of  such  a  service,  euti

from  I/^ndon.     Among  his  auditors  from  8oj 
day  to  Sunday,  he  observed  a  yooog  lady  »W 
always  occupied  a  certain  scat,  and  whose  tWi 
attention  began  insensibly  to  grow  to  him  « 
oi.ject  of  thought  and  pleasure.     She  left »« 
church  as  soon  as  service  was  over,  and  M\ 
chanced  that  he  went  on  for  a  year  w.tho^l 
knowing  her  name,  but  his   rermon  was  re«l 
written  without  many  a  thought  how  she  wo«- 
approve  it,  nor  preach.^  with  satiafact^oD  c^ 
less  he  read  approbation  in  her  face     Grafll

when  writing  sermons,  and  to  wish  to  scc^l 
onother  days  than  Sunday-but  the  week.-l' 
ped  on,  and  though  he  fancied  that  she  T 
paler  and  thiuner,  he  never  brought  himself 
the  resolution  cither  to  ask  her  name  or«l 
Bpeak  with  h.r.     By  these  silent  steps,  M»l 
ever,  love  had  worked  into  hia  heaft,  a.;d«l 
madi  up  lis  mind   to  seek  her  acquai«t»»«l 
and  marry  her,  if  possible  :  when  one  d;iy 
was  sent  for  to  minister  at  a  funeral.     n«  »"l

at  least,  Tiia  condition  was  at  onco  an  ap

Ths  Hlnth  Day  of  Ab.  i 

But  if  such  are  the  reflections  and  feelingi. 
which  Jerusalem  in  iU  present  state  calls  forth 
J«a  those  who  are  not  deseendantBof  J«i*. 
Hhom  the  "land  flowing  wnrarrsndlRrjP 

e,"  had  not  been  given  as  an  inheriUnce  ;  who 
are  not.  and  never  oan  become,  heir,  to   the 
promises  which  the  grace  of  the  Most  High  aU 
tached  to  that  land  and  city-if  such  are  their 
feelings,  what  must  be  the   sensations   which 
animate  us  ae  Jews  when  the  thought  of  Jeru- 
salem and  the  Holy  Temple,  in  ruins  throogh 
our  Bins,  and  those  of  our   ancestors,  presents 
itself  to  our  minds  ?     Other  nations  have  been 
conquered,  other  cities  have  been  destroyed  ; 
but  their  calamities  were  but  passing  cvenU. 
The  eon<inered  either  recovered  from  their  de- 
feat,  or  amalgamattnl  with   their  conq-ierors  ; 
the  cities  were  either  re-built  or  forgotten : 
But  the  Jew  still  stands  alone ;  our  city,  never 
to  be  forgo;tcu,  still  lies  in  ruius  ;    the  temple, 
in  which  the  worship  of  the  Supreme  Ruler  of 
the  Univere-J  was  approved  by  his  presence 
lies  in  aghes;  on  it«  site  the  fanatic  disciples  of 
an  iraposter.*  have  presimed  to  rear  a  fabric 
of  their  onhaUowed  devotioii.f 

While  we,  resigned  though   we  be,  though 
we  submit  to  the  decree  of  His  justice,  yet  we 
cannot  forget,  thut  the  e  was  a  time  when  HiB 
mercy  had  raised  us  a»  bi«t^«ft  ^^  oflcuded 
joBtioo  has  at  present  sunk  us  low  ;  we  cannot 
forget,  that  we  onco  possciaed  a  city,  "  beauti- 
ful for  situation,  the  joy  of  the  whole  earth." 
Like  the  inspired  Psalmist,  we  are  forced  to 
exclaim,  "  If  I  forga  thee,  Jerusalem,  let  my 
right  hand  forget!  Jf  I  do  not  remember  thee, 
let  my  tongue  cleave  to  the  roof  of  my  mouth." 
(Psalms  c«xxvii:  5,6).     For  when  Jerusalem 
was  loet  to  u«,  when  its  holy  temple  was  de- 
BlToyed,  we  lost  all  that  could  be  most  dear  to 
03  .8  a  nation,  and  as  individuals.    The  land  , 
which  should  have  descended  from  our  fathers 
to  us,  the  city  in  which  our  kings  ruh  d,  and  in- 
Bpircd  men  prophecied,  the  tombs  of  our  ances- 
tors, liberty,  independence,  national  existence, 
and  that  respect  and  honor  to  which  the  citi. 
aeDB  of  an  established  commoowcaltb  arc  entu 
tied,  were  all  lost  to  us  when  Jerusalem  fell.— 
When  th'-se  reflections  present  themselves  to 
and  to  keep  a'ivc  the  memory  of  the  calamities 
that  befel  us  on  that  fatal  day  ?     For  we  can- 
not he  mistaken  as  to  the  cause  why  all  these 
grievous  misfortunes  have  befallen  us:  As  by  a 
our  minds,  have  we  not  cause  sufficient  to  mourn.  ^ 
coincidence  we  dare  not  call  accidental,  it  was 
according  to  tradition,  on  the  9lh  of  Ab  that  I 
'•  all  the  congregation  lifted  up    their  voices 
a«i  cried,  and  the  people  wept  that  night   |

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


JUVENILE. 


The  Little  Deceiver. 

LitUe  boys  and  gfrla  sometimes  feign 
sickneM— -alieadacBe,  or~¥  pain  111  ihe 
aide,  to  avoid  studying  their  school  les- 
sons, doing  some  work  for  their  mamraaH, 
or  perhaps  for  an  excuse  to  stay  at  home 
from  school,  from  rhurch,  or  sabbath 
scbpol.  Such  pretended  illness  is  quite 
easily  discovered  at  meal-time,  fo:  it  rarely 
effects  the  appetite.  This  conduct  is  ex- 
ceedingly wicked.  These  little  girls  and 
boys  lose  the  confidence  and  love  of  their 
friends,  and  God  isgreatly  displeased  with 
them. 

One  morning,  the  nurse,  with  whom 
Mary,  a  little  girl  ten  or  eleven  years  of 
age,  slept,  came  into  her  mother's  room 
in  haste,  begging  her  to  come  and  see 
what  was  the  matter  with  Mary  ;  for  she 
feared  that  the  little  girl  had  become  en- 
tirely blind.  ^ 

To  her  mother's  quentions,  who  was  not, 
at  first,  much  alarmed,  bat  confidered  it 
merely  a  mischievous  trick  to  impose  upon 
the  fears  of  her  kind  and  loving  nurse, 
Mary  answered,  that  she  could  not  possi- 
bly open  her  eyelids.  Various  means  were 
tried  to  test  the  truth  of  her  story,  and 
to  induce  her  to  open  them,  but  all  to  no 
purpose. 

Her  mother,  being  now  really  anxious, 
sent  after  their  old,  family  physician.  He 
came,  and  carefully  examining  her  eyes, 
assured  her  mother  that  there  was  no  dis- 
ease, but  that  it  wa«  bis  opinion,  that  the 
blindness  was  entirely  pretended  on  the 
part  of  Mary.  The  old  nurse  was  quite 
offended  at  the  doctor  because  ho  thought 
Mary's  trouble  was  wilful,  and  not  real. 
The  mother,  also,  was  inclined  to  sympa- 
thino  with  the  little  girl,  and  doubt  the  as- 
surances of  the  physician. 

He  tried  a  number  of  expedients  to 
draw  the  attention  of  Mary,  and  to  indiice 
her  to  open  her  eyes  ;  but  encouraged  by 
the  tender  sympathies  of  the  afflicted 
nurse  and  her  mother,  she  kept  he  eyelids 
closed,  and  suffered  herself  to  be  led  about 
the  room,  and  to  be  fed  by  others 

As  tfc^eft  the  room,  the  physician, 
confident  that  he  was  not  mistaken,  re- 
quested of  Mary's  mother,  that  she  should 
be  left  to  his  management,  away  from  the 
presence  of  her  nurse,  and  wympathy  of 
any  kind.     Coivsent  was  given  to  thispro- 

poflal. 

The  physician  ordered  Mary  to  ba 
brought  down  into  the  parlor,  where  him- 
self and  her  mother  were  sitting,  and  to 
be  placed  upon  the  aofa. 

No  notice  was  taken  of  her,  and  not  a 
word  was  said  to  her.  The  physician  en- 
tered into  a  very  pleasing  conversation 
with  her  mother,  about  a  journey  that  his 
brother  had  just  been  taking. 
Mary  began  to  look  serious  and  uneasy, 
at  not  receiving  the  wonted  expressions  of 
sympathy ;  but  the  physician  continued 
his  account  of  the  journey,  without  any 
reference  to  her.  She  soon  began  to  be 
iatereated  in  the  story. 

The  brother  of  the  doctor  had  visited 
several  large  and  beautiful  caves,  in  the 
sides  of  a  high  mountain.  These  were  de- 
scribed. 

"  Knowing  my  love  for  natural  ctiriosi- 
tleH,"  said  he,  "  my  brother  brought  me

A  baby  wa.s  sleeping,  its  mother  was  weeping, 
For  her  husband  was  far  on  the  wild  raging 
sea, 
And  the  tcrapcst  was  swelling,  round  the  fiah- 
erman's  dwelling, 
And  she  cried  "Derraot  Jarling,  Oh  come 
back  to  me". 
Her  beads  while  she  number'd,  the  baby  still 
slumber'd. 
And  sniil'd  in  her  face  as  she  bended  her 
knee. 
/  Oh   bless'd   be  that    warning,  mj  child   thy 
sleep  adorning, 


For  I  know  that  the  upgelsare  whispering

And  whili!  they  are  keeping  bright  watch  o'er 
i)\y  sleeping, 
Oh,  pray  to   them  softly  my  baby  with  rae, 
And  say  thou   would'st  rather,  they'd  watch 
o'er  thy  Father, 
For  I  know  that  the  angels  are  whispering

Remarkablk  CoiNcroBNCB. — In  the  low- 
er belfry  of  the  old  state  house  in  Phila- 
delphia hangs  a  good-sized  and  sweet-toned 
bell,  with  this  inscription  :  — 

"  Proclaim  liberty  throughout  all  the

Under  this  bell,  twenty  three  years  after 
the  above  prophetic  inscription  was  cast 
upon  it,  sat  the  ever  glorious  band  of  pa- 
triots who  signed  the  charter  of  our  inde- 
pendence, and  the  same  bell  did  first  "pro- 
claim" the  deed  in  joyous  tones,  which 
were  echoed  and  responded  to  "  through- 
out all  the  land  !"  We  are  not  superstit- 
ious ;  hut  there  is  something  in  the  above 
coincidence  which  strikes  us  as  worthy  of

brought  one  beautiful  piece  of  spar  iu  my 

pocket  with  me,  which  I  will  show  you." 

Upon  this,  he  thrust  his  hand  into  his 
pocket  to  obtain  the  crystal  of  spar,  and 
turning  his  eye  at  the  same  time  upon 
Mary,  he  found  that  hers  were  open,  ready 
to  behold  the  beautiful  gem. 

The  deception  was  over:  wrought  up 
by  the  interesting  account,  and  curious  to 
sec  what  the  physician  was  about  to  show 
her  mother,  she  involuntarily  opened  her 
eyelids. 

Who  can  tell  the  shame  and  ccrief  that 
Mary  fell  upon  this  discovery  I  How  did 
she  appear  in  the  eyes  of  the  good  phy- 
sician and  her  kind  mother!  She  hung 
her  head  iu  the  deepest  confusion.  For  a 
week  she  remained,  by  the  command  of 
her  mother,  in  the  nursery,  both  us  a  pun- 
ishment, and  in  order  that  she  might  have 
time  to  reflect  upon  her  sin  and  its  conse- 
quences. 

It  was  for  .1  long  time  before  her  friends 
could  have  confidence  in  her  word;  having 
deceived  them  once,  they  feared  that  she 
might  again.  But  the  severe  lesson  had 
a  good  effect  upon  Mary  ;  by  careful  at- 
tention to  her  conduct,  and  strict  adhe- 
rence to  the  truth,  flhe,  after  a  time,  re- 
covered and  retained  the  affection  and 
confidence  of  all  her  acquaintances. 

Let  her  example  never  be  forgotten. 
The  way  of  the  transgressor  is  hard. 
And  be  sure  thy  sin  will  find  thee  out.—

malady  far  more  dreadful  than  the  first

VIEW  OP  THE  TEMPLE  OF  JERUSALEM. 


The  Vessels  of  the  Temple. 


During  the  conflagration  of  the  Temple,  im-  i 
mense  treasures,  as  also  an   immense  quantity 
of  pontificial  garments  became  a  b^oty  of  the  \ 
flame*.    The  entire  wealth  of  the  Jews  was  | 
treasured  in  the  Temple,    for  safety  as  was  the  | 
custom  in  those  age3  among  all  nations  who,  : 
in  absence  of  paper  currency  and  banks,  would  j 
hide  their  wealth  in  the  ground,  or  deposit  it  io 
temples ;  where  rarely  any  but    priviledged  i 
robbers  would  dare  to  commit  sacrilege.    All 
this  was  either  lost;  or  pluiidered   by  the  sol- 
diers.   "  However  several  articles  were  saved. 
A  priest  of  the  name  of  Jesus,  says  Josephus, 
ipon  his  having  security   given   him,  by  the 
osth  of  Caesar,  that  he  should  be  preserved, 
upon  condition  that  he  should  deliver  to  him 
certain  precieus  things  that  had  been  deposited 
in  the  temple,  and  delivered  to  Titus  two  can- 
dlesticks,    with  tables,  and  cisterns,  and  vials, 
all  made  of  solid  gold,  and  very  heavy.     He 
also  delivered  to  him  the  veils,  r.nd  the  gar. 
ments,  with  the    precious  stones,  and  a  great 
number  of  other  precious  vessels  that  belonged 
to  their  sacred  worship.    The  treasurer  of  the 
temple,  also,  whose  name   was   Phineas,  was 
seized  on.  and  showed  Titus  the  coats  and  gir- 
dlel  of  the  priests,  with  a  great  quantity  of 


purple  and  scarlet,  which  were  there  deposited 
for  the  uses  of  the  veil,  a^  a'so  a  great  deal  of 
cinnamon  ana  cassia,  with  a  large  quantity  of 
other  sweet  spices,  which  used  to  be  mixed  to- 
gether, and  off -red  as  incense  to  God  everyday. 
A  great  many  otbrr  treasures  were  also  de- 
livered to  him,  sjc:eJ  ornaments  of  the  temple 
not  a  few." 

Thus  B  number  of  sacre*!  vesse's  and  uten.'ils 


Arrived  at  the  foot  of  the  hill  on  which 
stood  the  temple  of  Jupiter  Cipitolinus,  on  the 
side  facing  the  forum,  ihe  precious  relics  of 
Jerusalem  were  as  if  in  homage  to  the  Roman 
deity  deposited  at  the  foot  of  this  temple,  with 
the  re*t  of  the  booty    brought  home  from  the 

wa's. 

A  triumphant  arch   was  erected  in  honor  of 
Titus,  on  which,  to  this  d.iy,  representations

The  pla.-e  where  the  temple  had  stood  seem- 
ed to  be  a  dangerous  centre  for  the  rebellions 
I  populftt  on,  until,  in  the  year  136,  the  Empcro 
i  Hadrian,  founded  a  Roman  colony,  under  the 
j  ^Elia   Capitolini.   on  the  ruins  of  Jerusalem, 
i  nni  dedicated  a  temple  to  Jupiter  Capitolinus 
i  oj  the  ruins  of  the  temple  of  Jehovah.     Hence- 
I  forth  no  Jew  was  permitted   to  approach  the 
!  site  of  tie  ancient  temple,  although  they  were 
in  deri>ion   compcU.  d   to  pay  a   tax  for  the 
muia-.enaace  of  the  temple  of  JupiUr.    Under 
1  the  roi^n  of  Constantin?  sme  Jews  were  se- 
I  verely  punished  for  haviug  attempted  to  restore 

the  tempi*-. 
'      The  Emperor  Julian  undertook,  in  the  yenr 
i  303.  to  rebuild  the  temple  ;  but  after  corsider- 


ahle  preparations  and  much  expense,  he  wa* 
compelled  to  desist  by  flames  which  burst  forth 
from  the  foundations  on  the  explosion  of  the 
sir  that  was  confined  in  the  subteranean  ex- 
cavations for  three  centuries  and  a  half.     A 
wmilar  crcal  is  mentioned  by  Josephus  (Antq. 
xvi  7. 1,)  where  we  are  informed  that  Herod, 
while  plundering  th  >  tombs  of  Day  M  and  Solo^ 
mon,  was  suddenly  frightened  by  flames  which 
burst  out  and  killed  two  of  his  soldiers. 

A  splendid  mosque  now  stands  on  the  site 
of  the  temple.  This  mosque  was  erected  by 
caliph  Omar  after  the  couciuest  of  Jerusalem 
by  the  Saracens,  in  the  year  C3C.  It  seems 
that  Omar  changed  a  Christian  church,  that 
ISO  3d  ou  the  ground  of  the  temple,  into  this 
mosque,  which  is  called  El  Aksa,  the  outer,  or 
northern,  because  it  is  the  third  of  the  most 
celebrat<  d  mosques,  two  ot  which,  namely  thOM 
of  Mecca  and  Ledina,  are  in  a   more  southern 

latitude.  

Such  was  the  fate  of  the  temple  of  Jerosir 
l-^m,  a  building  idolised  by  the  Jew,  revered  by 
the  Heathen,  enriched  by  both.  It  was  de. 
stroyed  in  the  year  71 ;  according  to  others,  in 
74,  From  the  foundation  of  the  first  temple 
by  Solomon,  to  this,  its  destruction  was,  ac- 
cording to  Josephus,  one  thousand  one  hundred 
and  thirtfy  years,  seven  months  and  fifteen  days; 
and  from  the  building  of  the  temple  by  Haggi, 
in  the  second  year  of  Cyrus,  there  were  six 
hundred  and  ninety  nine  years,  and  forty  days. 
This  last  temple,  whose  destruction  we  have 
described  was  that  raised  by  Herod,  but  twen- 
ty one  years  before  its  ruin.  Titus  had  the 
walls  razad  and  leveled  with  the  ground  ;  noth- 
ing remains  but  the  foudatlon  of  the  western 
wall  surrounding  the  court  .-[See  Gleaner  No 

26.] 

The  religions  importance   of  the  templefto 
the  Jew  and  the  Christian,  and  the  symbolic 
language  which  its  portions,  parts  vessels,  and 
service  expressed  have  rendered  it  more  mem- 
orable than  any  other  structure  of  antiquity. 
To  the  Jew  it  is  an  object  of  mourning  and 
longing;  (Psalm  137:  5-  6)  to  the  architect  it 
is  in  its  first  form,  the  key  to  the  history  of 
an  ancient  original  architecture  ;  to  the  Free- 
mason it  is  the  principal  symbol  of  his  Ritua'. 
in  reference  to  which,  he  calls  his  I/)dge  {the 
hall  in  which  the  order  assemble)  the  Temple  ; 
and  the  moral  efforts  and  labors  of  the  Craft, 
in  the  promotion  of  morality  and  beneficence,

Notice  to  Postmasters. 
VVe  are  under  obligations  to  sundry  Post- 
masters in  the  interior  for  giving  us  notice  of 
the  removal  of  oursnbacribers,  and  we  hope 
their  example  will  be  generally  followed.  The 
Law  makes  this  imperative  on  the  Postmaster, 
but  it  19  so  seldom  this  duty  is  performed,  that 
we  heartly  thank  the  ofticer  for  exercising  his 
instructions, 


-        fcONTINUKD    FBOlf    PAGl    245.] 

the  service  of  the  Architect  and  Preserver  of 
the  Universe,  as  did  the  laborers  of  Solomon 
under  his  direction  and  that  of  his  appointed 
officers,  raise  a  material  temple  to  the  Almighty 
ever  living  Lord  Zebaoth. 

As  to  the  final  fate  of  these  spoils,  we  learn 
from  the  history  of  the  chnrch  that  they  con- 
tinued in  Rome  under  the  ganrdianship  of  the 
state  as  remarkable  relics,  till  the  savage  Huns 
and  Vandals,  invading  Italy,  plundered  Rome, 
and  its  palaces  of  their  immense  treasures,  and 
since  that  time,  the  golden  vessels  of  the  tem- 
ple are  heard  of  no  more.  One  golden  table 
found  in  Spain,  by  Taric,  the  Arab  general, 
called  "  The  Table  of  Solomon,  son  of  David" 
(of  which  see  the  cut  in  Gleaner  No  8,)  did 
not  belong  these  spoils,  but  probably  was  saved 
from  the  destruction  of  the  first  temple. 

The  Last  Comet. 

rORKTOLD    BT   THB    ANCIENT    CABBALISTS. 

On  a  former  occasion,  we  mentioned  the 
great  panic  which  the  anticipation  of  the  ex- 
pected comet  of  Jqnc  13th,  spread  among  the 
Jews  of  Poland  and  Russia.  We  are  now 
able  to  make  the  interesting  statement  that  an 
ancient  cabalistic,  (mystic)  book,  called  the 
D*31D*in  DTliJ,  (The  Pomegranate  Gar- 
den) predicted  the  appearance  of  said  comet 
to  take  plnce  on  the  same  day  as  stated  by  the 
astronomers. 

We  are  under  obligation  for  this  item  to  a 
young  man  of  this  city,  whose  father,  a  Rabbi 
in  the  Province  of  Poseo.  in  a  letter,  dated 
June  1st,  writes  to  him  in  the  following  words, 
which  we  give  verbatim,  to  afford  our  readers 
a  specimen  of  the  naivete  of  rabbinical  views 


and  style  that  transpire  in  the  letter,  though 
the  Rabbi  uses  the  German  character  and  lan- 
guage.   The  letter  reads,  as  follows  : 

"  I  will  also  communicate  to  you  some  news; 
namely,  those  acquainted  with  astronomy,  have 
made  it  known  publicly  that  a  comet  will  appear 
the  13th  of  June,  which  would  press  the  earth 
quite  down,  and  everj  thing  on  it  wiij  perish 
They  have  several  times  made  known  this  as- 
sertion with  certainty,  sD  that  most  men  in 
Europe  live  very  d  squieted.  And,  on  the  1st 
day  of  Shebu-oth,   I   received   a  letter  from 

Z ,  which  stateo,  that  at  the  house  of  a 

highly  learned  man,  niO  l^DHn  [Wjn 
the  excellent  and  pious  teacher,  TJ^OpHV* 
Yitzchalk  Meyer,  a  book  has  been  found,  na-

that  day  in  the  \^'^'}J2T)  n'fl  to  be  protected. 
But  I  trust  only  io  God,  and  I  have  declared 
in  my  HUm  of  n^imtyn  jn.  (Discourse 
of  the  Pentacost)  that  Israel  does  not  stand  un- 
der (the  influence  of )  the  heavenly  bodies,  but 
they  are  guided  by  God  alone. 

Independently  of  its  literary  interest,  we 
like  the  oriental  hue  of  style  and  opinion — we  \ 
admire  the  firm  reliance  of  Israel  in  the  special 
protection  under  thereof  of  a  holy  place,  and 
that  of  their  faithful  rabbi,  in  the  special  care 
of  Providence.  0!  how  happy  are  those  who 
have  a  God  to  trust  to:  What  in  heaven  or 
earth  but  a  God,  can  offer  such  a  support  in 
time  of  need,  such  a  refuge  in  the  hour  of  dan- 
ger, and  issues  beyond  death.

Midrash,  Mishnah,  Talmud,  and  all  the  bran- 
ches of  literature  appertaining  to  rheo,  arenot 
fit  subjects  for  mere  verbal  translations,  it  is 
the  survey  of  the  whole  sphere  of  the  rabbio. 
ical  literature  that  can  render  us  competent  to 
find  the  pearls  among  the  sand.  And  this, 
few  modern  Rabbles  will  pretend  to  encom 
pass.  The  field  is  too  extensive,  and  time  is 
too  precious  to  be  devoted  to  rabbinistical 
casuistic.  We  therefore  think,  the  translation 
of  ihe  Mishtian  just  calculated  to  have  a  dia- 
metricaDy  opposite  eJect  to  that  which  the 
French  committee,  apparently  aims  at. 

Modern  Israel  wants  the  propagation  of  ra 
tiooal  views  of  religion,  founded  on  sound  logi, 
cal  deduction  from,  and  souud  exposition  of- 
our  text  book,  the  scriptures,  which  is  to  be 
effected  by  good  school  books  and  family  libra- 
ries', to  enlighten,  to  warm,  and  to  revive  us, 
with  the  heavenly  showers  from  above. 

We  want  religious  works,  written  by  inde- 
pendent religious  men — by  men  who  would 
write  what  they  know,  and  not  vbat  the  peo- 
ple wi!<h  to  hear.  Let  Israel  procure  such  a 
literatnre.  and  secure  the  service  of  such  men

ted  last  Monday  the  11  inst. 

The  list  of  officers  which,  D.  Y.,  we  will  give 
in  our  next,  will  furnish  an  example,  how  little 
national  and  sectarian  differences  ought  to  be 
allowed  to  seperate  us,  when  universal  good 
ought  to  unite  us. 


first :  then  a  translation  of  the  Mishnah  will  do 
no  harm.  But  to  lay  before  Israel,  on  the 
same  table,  the  literary  productions  of  ancient 
Babylon,  with  those  of  modern  France.  Such 
a  step  can  only  result,  as  it  has  resulted  in 
Germany,  io  the  rejection  of  the  grain  with 
the  chaff. 


The  T.  M.  (^  L.  Association. 

xThe  most  critical  period  for  virtue  to  wrei  k 
against  the  rocks  of  temptation  and  ruin,  is 
youth — when  the  re"gn  of  the  passions  is  pre- 
dominant, self-control  difficult,  while  the  judge, 
ment  is  weak,  and  self-government  dangerous  : 
the  greatest  temptation  to  vice  and  perdition, 
are  those  hours,  which  the  young  mechanic 
artist,  or  merchant  have  at  their  own  disposal, 
after  their  retirement  from  the  workshop  or 
counter. — the  country  where  youth  is  moat 
exposed  to  seductions  of  every  kind,  is  prob- 
ably California — many  a  mourning  parent,  in 
the  East,  has  to  latnent  in  their  California  sons 
the  loss  of  what  silver  cannot  purchase,  gold 
not  retrieve,  and  time  not  redeem — the 
of  health  and   honor,  of  life  and  soul. 


Insanity  among  Diffbbent  DBMomirATtON-g: 
The  ultramontane  "Universe"  has  discovered « 
new  field  for  the  exercise  of  its  pecnliar  logic ; 
it  triumphs  in  the  fact  thatjnsanity  is  lessgeu- 
eral  with  Catholics  than   with  Protestants  or 
Jews     How  far  this  statement  is  correct  I 
cannot  say  ;   but  in  the  province  of  Silesia  it 
-would  appear   borne  out  by  official   figures. 
M.  Martini  de  Lenlius,  the  director  of  the  great 
man-house  in  Silesia  has  calculated  that  in  the 
cases  of  madness  which  bare  occured  since  the 
year  1830,  the  Jews  have  supplied  by  far  the 
greater  proportion  to  their  numbers  ;  then  fol- 
low the  Protestants,  while  the  Catholics  are  in 
a  considerable   minority.     The  proportions  of 
hereditary  madness  are  47  per  cent,  in  Jews, 
21  per  cent,  in   Protestants,  and  16  in  Catho- 
lics.   This  circumstance  is  attributed  by  M. 
Martini,  a  Protestant,  to  the  law  which  forbids 
Roman  Catholics  to  marry  near  relations— a 
natural  law  which  the  Jews   constantly  traoa- 
grcss. — Globe. 

[  We  tunk  the  cause  of  this  fact  lies  sim- 
ply in  the  psychological  certainty,  that  the 
more  operative  the  mind,  the  more  exertior.- 
"llie  brain  is  subject  to,  and  the  more  the  indi- 
vidual is  exposed  to  insanity  and  other  disesses 
of  the  head.  We  leave  it  to  the  editor  of  the 
*•  Universe,"  to  philosophize  on  this  theme  —

Translation  of  the  Mishnab. 

ITS  TENDENCIES. 

Several  years  ago  an  effort  was  made  to  pro- 
cure a  translation  of  the  Mishnah  into  the 
French  language,  but  without  succAj.  Lnst 
May,  a  mfetiog  was  held  for  the  purpose,  at 
which  it  was  resolved  to  commence  with  the 
portion  Sera-un,  (seeds),  which,  if  well  receivv'd 
by  the  public,  will  be  followed  by  the  other 
five  portions.  Mr.  H.  Cobn  has  promised  to 
procure  half  the  expenses  of  this  publication. 
The  meeting  was  attended  by  the  Grand  Rah- 
bies  of  the  Central,  and  of  that  of  the  Seioo 
consistory,  Monsieurs  A.  Cobn,  S.  Cahen,  J. 
Derenburg,  S.  Muok  and  0.  Turquem. 

We  expect  this  undertaking  to  prove  a  fail- 
ure, on  account  of  its  not  being  a  requirement 
of  the  age,  and  the  country  for  which  it  is  to 
be  undertaken.  Nor  is  a  work  like  that,  cal. 
culated  to  improve  us  morally,  or  to  give  either 
to  the  Jewish  or  Christian  reader  an  idea  of 
the  spirit  of  Judaism,  as  it  now  reveals  itself. 
The  German  translation  by  a  Dr.  Jost,  and  an 
English  attempt,  supported  by  the  Margret 
Synagogue  of  London,  is  evidence  that  such  a 


It  must  be  therefore  welcome  for  every  phil- 
antrophist  to  learn,  that  there  exists  an  asso- 
ciation in  this  city  for  the  object  of  mutual 
moral  and  religious  inprovement.  They,  in  or 
der  not  to  be  left  to  self  (S^  guidance,  but  to 
be  directed  by  the  mature  advice  of  others  who 
are  more  advanced  in  age,  and  c.Tpcriencejhave 
called  in  to  their  assistance  men  prominent  for 
knowledge,  and  piety  among  almost  every  de 
nominations  in  the  city,  under  whose  auspices 
the  society  is  managed.  They  have  itftmiiiL 
r:>oms  (Corner  of  Montgomery  and  Sucram. 
onto  Streets)  open  for  the  members  and  for 
those  who  may  wish  to  visit,  during  the  whole 
day,  till  10  or  II  o'clock  at  n-ght,  when  a  num- 
ber of  newspapers,  periodicals,  are  always  to 
be  found  on  the  table,  and  a  well  chosen  libra- 
ry at  hand  for  their  use.  Young  men  on  their 
arrival  here,  may  at  once  form  the  connection 
of  the  most  considerate  and  most  select  portion 
of  the  young  men  of  this  city,  by  becoming  a 
member  of  the  society  and  though  we  widely 
differ  in  doctrine  from  the  members  of  ihe  so- 
fiety,  its  moral  tendency  for  our  young  State, 
renders  it  the  object  of  our  sincere  wishes  and 
regard.  Having  the  disastrons  effects  of  youth 
left  to  self-guidance,  ann  of  men  living  without 
God,  before  our  eyea-we  maiotaia  with  the 
Kmperor  Theodosius,  as  a  general  maxim — 
better  any  religion  than  irreligion. 
We  give  thi  above  notice  on  the  occasion  of 


Railroads. — Grades  of  200  or  250  feet  per 
mile  are  ascended  by  tratvs  with  considerable 
ease. 

Curves  of  150    feet  radius    are  practicable. 

The  weight  ot  Railroad  iron  used  upon  east- 
ren  roads  is  60  pounds  per  yard,  and  its  aver- 
age durability  tea  years.  Tha  average  cost  of 
Railroads  in  New  England  is  about  $43,6o9 
per  mile,  exclusive  of  cars.  &c. 

The  graduation  and  masonry  of  a  road  is 
computed  at  about  twenty  per  cent,  or  one- 
fith  the  whole,  and  iron  about  the  same — Iron 
bridges  cost  per  running  foot  $40,  and  wooden 
$31.  Locomotives  cost  from  five  thousand 
to  eight  thousand  dollars,  and  weigh  generally 
about  20  or  2.5  tons,  sometimes  30.  Passenger 
cars  cost  from  two  thousand  to  fire  thousand 
five  hundred  dollars,  and  weigh  from  six  orsev 
Jen  tons. 
"/  Forty  miles  an  hour  is  frequently  made  by 
express  trains,  but  the  average  speed  of  passen- 
ger cars  is  from  20  to  25  miles  per  hoar. 
Freight  trains  make  from  13  to  18  miles. 

Thk  Rkv.  Dr.  Kirk,  writing  from  Man- 
chester, England,  to  the  Boston  Traveler,  sajs 
that  he  was  shown  a  pound  of  cotton,  spun  in- 
to a  thread,  "  that  would  go  round  the  glebe 
and  tie  in  a  good  large  kuot  of  many  miles  in 
length."  He  speaks  also  of  a  pound  of  cotton 
shown  to  him,  which  was  worked  up  so  as  to 
be  worth  a  pound  of  gold. 


A  TRK.MEND0irs  LoAD — The  San  Andrea.s 
Independent  chronicles  the  arrival  in  town  of 
the  big  wagon  '  Rough  and  Ready,'  with  four- 
teen thousand  three  hundred  and  eighty-three 
pounds  of  freight  I 

Low  Freight. — The  cost  of  transportation 
of  freight  on  the  New  England  roads  ia  about 
one  and  a-haif  cents  per  ton  a  mile. 


Coal  Minb. — A  coal  mine  has  lately  been 
discovered  about  six  miles  south  of  Horsetcwo, 
Shasta  county,  which  will  probably  prove  of 
great  importance.    The  mine  will  be  opened 

in  about  a  fortnight.

Qdicksilver  Mine.— An  extremely  rich 
quicksilver  mine  has  been  discovered  between 
Indian  and  Buckworth  Valleys,  in  this  State. 
The  lead  is  valued  at  $50,000.

The  Wife's  Prayer. 


The  young  wife  kneeling  to  her  God, 
Seems  brighter  far  in  the  lone  Stene 

Than  when  our  halls  of  mirth  she  trod 
Mid  fashion's  throng  a  worshipp'd  queen. 

Gaw  on— the  love  that  fills  the  heart 
New  charms  has  lentto^heet  andbrowy 

Oaie  on— but  hush !  the  pure  lips  part. 
Perchance  for  thee  ehe'a  pleading  now. 

''  Hear  me.  Thou  who  mark'st  each  feeling, 
Thou  who  know'st  each  passion's  sway  ; 

At  thy  sacred  altar  kneeling. 
For  a  being  loved  I  pray  ! 

"  He  is  dearer  than  the  mother, 
Who  hath  been  my  life's  fond  guide ; 

He  is  nearer  than  a  brother , 
Though  a  brother  'e  still  my  pride. 

"Oft  ere  summer's  bloom  had  perish 'd, 

For  the  lover's  weal  I  plead  ; 
Father!  on  the  husband  cherished. 

Now  thy  choicest  blessings  shed  ! 

t 

'In  all  peril  and  temptation. 
Guard  him  with  Thy  holy  might  ; 

Mid  the  charms  of  power  and  station, 
Keep  a  noble  spirit  bright. 

"  Bless  him,  Father  !  he  is  starting 

Proudly  for  the  goal  of  fame  ; 
Oh !  may  every  year  departing 

Add  fresh  laurels  to  his  name ! 

,  bin  Qeniua'  inopiration— • 


Wisdom's  eloquence  divine — 
He  is  pledged  unto  a  nation. 
Let  him  in  her  council's  shine. 

"  Be  his  pride— and  for  earths  sorrew. 
For  the  cloud,  the  blight,  the  thorn  ; 

So  prepare  him,  that  each  morrow 
On  a  fearless  heart  may  dawn. 

"  Father !  if  the  love  I  bear  him 

Lend  bis  path  a  brighter  ray, 
If  that  love  one  pang  can  spare  him. 

Aid  me  still  to  cheer  his  way. 

"  Should  his  manhood's  pride  be  shaded. 

Let  him  in  this  heart  repose. 
It  will  prove,  when  joys  are  faded, 

Desert  spring  and  forest  rose. 

"  Strengthen,  guard  and  guide  him  ever  I 

May  he  glory  in  love's  chain. 
Till  its  links  thy  angel  sever. 

Ne'er  on  earth  to  clasp  again." 

Statistics. 

Prussia. — The  census  of  December,  1855, 
gives  the  following  results  in  relation  to  relig- 
ious denominations  : 

Protestants,     :        :        :       10,534,754. 

Roman  Catholics,     :        :        6,418,310. 

Jews,         :         :  :         :        234,248. 

Menoonites,        :         :  :  14,139. 

Greek  Church,        :         :  1,380. 

Hence  we  find  the  following  proportions  to 
the  whole  number  of  inhabiUnts,  (17,202,831): 
Protestants,  61  24-100;  Catholics,  37  21-100; 
Jews,  1  36-100;  Mennonites,  0  8-100;  Greeks, 
0 1-100. 

Haxoveb— Counts  1,819,777  inhabitants, 
among  whom  are  11,452  Jews. 

Ci.vciNNATL— The  number  of  Israelites  in 
that  city,is  estimated  to  amount  to  about  25.000 
souls.  Their  number  west  of  the  Alleghany 
mountains  is  estimated  at  from  60,000  to 
70,000. 

Frankfort,    O.  M.   counts  4000    Jewish 

souls.    Paris,  22,000. 

••• . 

Paris. — Hitherto  Paris  had  but  two  syna- 
gogues, but  since  a  few  years  the  number  of 
Israelites  has  so  rapidly  increased,  (to  22,000,) 
that  two  more  synagogues  will  be  erected  at 
an  expense  ot  1,500,000  francs,  not  to  reckon 
tne  ground,  which  the  Government  is  expected 
to  give  as  a  donation. 

California  exported  in  1856,  $50,000,000 
in  gold,  and  imported  $9,000,000  in  merchan- 
dize, for  consumption.

THE     WEEKLY     GLEANER 


PHlfSIOLOGT. 


Bxperiments  in  Chyintfloation. 

We  )«aTe  alladed  in  a  previooB  number,  to 
the  experiments  of  I'r.  Beaumont,  of  Platta- 
burg,  00  the  difreative  orgauB  of  St.  Martin 
Altf  b,  of  CaDada;  we  will  now  direct  the  atr 
tention  of  our  readers  to  lome  of  the  curloui 
resulti  of  his  obeerTations.  jBut  we  must  warn- 
ed! before  band  against  making  too  much  of 
them;  tfaey^do  not  prore  all  they  seem  to 
prove.  The  rapidity  of  digestion,  chjmifica- 
tion,  as  the  author  himself  shows,  varies  great- 
ly, according  to  thejquality  of  food  taken,  the 
amount  and  nature  of  the  previous  exerciac. 
the  interval  of  the  precedlng^  meal,  the  state  of 
health,  &c.  ;  also  of  the  weather,  and  the  state 
of  the  mind.  JWhereas  in  hardly  any  of  the  ex- 
periments have  these  conditions  been  complied 
with.  And  finally,  tn  article  ot  food  may  be 
slower  of  chymification,  and  yet.  for  that  very 
reason,  less  irritating  and  more  healthful.  It 
does*not  follow,  that  because  aliment  is  chang- 
eJ  sooner,  it  is  changed  better. 

Nor  is  this  the  worst.  Dr.  Beaumont  had 
access  to  the  stomach  only  ;  and  all  his  obser- 
vatioDs^hane  reference  to  the  mere  chymifica- 
tion of  food.  This,  as  we  know,  is  only  one 
process  of  digestion.  An  equally  important 
part  of  this  great  work  is  performed  by  the  aid 
of  the  bile  and  pancreatic  juice,  in  the  small 
intestine*,  quite  beyond  the  stomach — a  region 
'wbi«b  Dr.  B.  wag  B»t  p«rffiitt«4  i&  «xpk»<>. 
Really,  tbifefore,  his  table  can  but  give  us  a 
partial  information  on  this  important  subject. 
However,  it  must  be  mentioned  that  other  ex. 
periments,  made  by  Goss,  of  Geneva,  and 
Whitlaw,  of  Scotland,  go  far  toward  sustain- 
ing |tbe  same^views  with  those  of  Beaamont. 
Jl\)nce  the  following  table  will,  to  a  considera- 
ble extent,  show  as  the  comparative  digestibil- 
ity of  food,  and  from  its  very  nature,  prove  in- 
teresting, and  instructive;  It  being  the  first  in- 
stance since  the  formation  of  man  that  such  an 
an  opportunity  has  ofii^red,  and  such  experi- 
ments were  made.

SEA   BATHS!    SEA   BATHS 
MTEAM  ANDSULPBUR  BATHS. 

WARM  AND  COLD  SEA  BATHS,  SWIM^ 
MING  BATHS,  and  all  kinds  of  MINER- 
AL  and  ARTIFICIAL  BATHS  for  the  lungs 
and  manj  other  diseases, 

ON  MEIGGS'  WHARF. 

The  first  and  only  Sea  Bathing  establishment 
on  the  Pacific  Ocean,  where  every  convenience 
is  found  in  the  latest  style,  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  bathers  and  invalids. 

There  is  also  attached  a  Warm  Sea  Bath  for 
Ladies  of  the  Hebrew  faith,  where  they  can 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  which  is 
connected  with  the  sea. 

This  institution  has  now  been  in  operation 
one  vear,  and  it  has  not  only  satisfied  the  ex-. 
pectBtions  of  the  public,  but  has  far  exceeded 
the  anticipations  of  the  proprietor.  The  throng 
of  suflferers  and  bathers  has  increased  daily, 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  facilities  have 
been  extended  and   enlarged,  and  several  im- 

Eortant  improvements  Lave  been  made.  Each 
ather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  can  be 
pronerly  cooled  and  rested. 

Tlje  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliative, 
but  a  positive  remedy.  It  takes  the  disease  at 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hun- 
dreds of  patients  who  have  used  these  baths 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  been 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  baflBed  all 
other  remedies,  have  been  cured  by  the  use  jo 
these  baths  in  a  short  time. 

Every  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  these 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  them 

here.  '  „      • ,.  . 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  Establish- 
ment is  a  HOTEL,  containing  a  great  many 
»<K>«*  dUgaatly  fittsd  up  for  patient?  «n'1  bath- 
ers, and  where  they  can  lodge  and  receive 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  MerchanU  and 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  for 
business  or  on  account  of  sickness,  should  not 
fail  to  go  to  the 

Sea  Bath   Hotel, 

Before  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  many 
quacks  thatabound  in  San  Francisco. 

Ladie-s  and  Gentlemen  patronizing  my  estab* 
lishment  will  find  neatljr  furnished  parlor?, 
where  every  attention  will  be  paid  ;  and  to 
bathers  the  utmost  care  will  be  rendered  by 
polite  female  and  male  servants.  These  bath?, 
in  connection  with  the  Sea-Water  Douche  will 
perform  wonders;  and  aa  the  price  for  their 
use,  and  lodgings  at  the  hotel,  is  only  from 
12  50  to  $5  per  day,  its  benefits  and  blessings 
are  alike  accessible  to  the  poor  as  well  as  the 

rich.  .        •       v  t 

To  convince  the  people  of  California  that 
there  is  no  humbuggery  about  the  institution, 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  thanks  that 
have  been  sent  to  me : 

San  FaAJJasco,  10th  Nov.  1866. 
I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  afflicted  for 
many  months  with  severe  bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.  I 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  this 
city,  but  none  could  help  me.  I  lost  all  my 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.  My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on  to  New 
York  to  try  a  cure,  in  this  perplexity,  I  called 
on  Dr.  Bruns,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.  I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  me  to  Dr.  Bruns, 
under  whose  care  I  becamehealthy  and  strong. 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  publicly  to  make 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  sufferers  know  that 
Dr.  Brnns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health. 

MRS.  GROSSMAN.

Every  three  minutes  the  omnibuses  ar- 
rive at  the  establishment,  from  the  centre  and 
from  the  extreme  part  of  the  city.

Swifter  and  swifter,  day  by  day,

Thon  pasaest  oa  thy  restless  way, 

Tamultoous  and  nnsUbie  world  ! 
TbMpMKBloDt  TTmelath  not  seen 

Delay  npon  thy  hurried  path ; 
And  prayers  and  tears  alike  have  been 
In  vain  to  stay  thy  coarse  of.  wrath. 
Thon  panest  on,  and  with  thee  go 

The  loTes  of  youth,  the  cares  of  age  •  * 
And  smiles  and  tears,  and  joy  and  wo, '  . 

Are  on  thy  history's  taoubled  page  ' 
There,  CTery  day,  liJte  yesterday. 

Writes  hopes  that  end  in  mockery  j 
But  who  shall  tear  the  veil  away 

Before  the  abyss  of  things  to  be. 
Thon  passest  on,  and  at  thy  side, 

Even  as  a  shade  Oblivion  treads 
And  o'er  the  dreams  of  human  pride 
His  misty  shrond  forever  spreads  ; 
Where  all  thine  iron  hand  hafh  traced 

Upon  that  gloomy  scroll  to-day, 
With  records  ages  since  effaced,— 

Like  them  shall  live,  like  them  decay. 
Thou  passest  on,  with  thee  the  vain 

Who  sport  npon  thy  flaunting  blaze, 
Pride,  framed  of  dust  and  folly's  train 
Who  court  thy  love,  and  run  thy  wiiya: 

But  tboa  and  I,  -and  be  it  so,— 

Press  onward  to  eternity  ; 
Yet  not  together  let  us  go 

To  that  deep-voiced  but  shoreless  sea. 
Thou  hast  thy  friends,-I  would  have  mine  . 
Thou  hast  thy  thooght8,-leave  me  my  own^ 
I  kneel  not  at  thy  gilded  shrine, 

I  bow  not  at  thy  slavish  throne  ; 
I  see  them  pass  without  a  sigh,— 

They  wake  no  swelling  raptures  now, 
The  fierce  delights  that  fi.e  thine  eye 
The  triumphs  of  thy  haughty  brow. 
Pms  OB,  relentless  world  !  I  grieve 

No  more  for  all  that  thou  hast  riven  , 
Paw  on,  in  Gjd's  name-only  leave 

The  things  thou  never  yet  hast  given— 
A  heart  at  ease,  a  mind  at  home. 

Affections  fix'd  above  thy  sway, 
Faith  set  upon  a  world  to  come, 
-*-Dd  patience  through  life's  little  day.

ally  from  Arabia  Felix,  used  for  making  a 
drink  of  the  same  nature.     By  coffee  we  mean 
he  drink  Itself,  prepared  from  those  berries^ 
Itsorigmisnot  well  known  ;  some  ascribe  it 
to  the  prior  of  a  monastery,  who  being  inform- 
edby  a  goatherd,  that  his  cattle,  sometimes 
brow8,ng  on  this  would  wake  and  caper  all 
"'ght,  became  desirious  of  proving  its  virtue  • 
accordingly,  he  first  tried  it  on  his  monks,  to 
prevent  their  sleeping  at  matins.    Others  refer 
the  preparation  of  coffee  to  the  PersiauB,  from 
"horn  It  was  learned  In  the  fifteenth  century 
by  a  mufti  of  Aden,  a  city  near  the  mouth  oj 
the  Red  bea  ;  and  who  having  tried  its  virtues  ; 
aad  finding  that  it  dissipated  the  fumes  which 
oppress  the  head,  inspired  joy,  opened  the  bow- 
els, and  prevented  sleep,  without  his  being  in- 
commoded   by  it,  recommended  it  first  to  his 
Hervises,  with  whom  he  used  to  spend  the  night 
■n  prayer.    Their  example  brought  coffee  into 
rMhion  at  Aden  ;  so  that  professors  of  law  used 
>  as  an  aid  to  their  studies,  artisans  as  a  stim- 
»iM  to  work  ;  and,  in  short,  almost  every  per- 
OD  drank  coffee.    Thence  it  passed  to  Mecca, 
p  from   Arabia  Felix  to   Cairo,  and  from 
I  -gypt  to  Syria  and   Constantinople,    Theve- 
not,  the  traveller,  was  thefiret  who  brought  it 
I  "to  Prance ;  and  a  Greek  aervent  called  Pai-

I  '"g  up  the  profession  of  coffee-man,  first  intro-  i

Danger  of  Throwing  Stones 


Many  idle  lads  are  in  the  habit  of 
throwing  stones  in  the  street,  sometimei 
toward  each  other,  and  sometimes  against 
the  neighboring  houses  and  fences. 

Oftentimes  windows  are  broken,  and  at 
other  times  very  serious  consequences  re- 
sult. Let  such  boys  learn,  from  the  fol- 
lowing incident,  the  danger  of  using  such 
weapons,  either  in  sport  or  in  passion. 

Sarah  and  her  brother  were  walking 
out  with  the  house-servant  of  their  father; 
they  passed  in  their  walk  through  an  open 
field,  where  a  number  of  boys  were  play- 
ing and  flying  a  kite. 

The  children  desired  to  stop  and  see  the 
kite  raised  into  the  air  ;  and  no  objection 
was  made  to  their  request. 

While  their  attention  was  taken  op  by 
the  kite,  two  of  the  boys  began  to  quar- 
rel—from calling  each  other  vile  and  wick- 
ed names,  they    sfton  began    to  throw 

Btones. 

At  length,  the  strongest  of  the  boys, 
throwing  >  stone  with  great  force,  miswd 
his  aim.  and  struck  poor  Sarah  with  it  in 
her  ri(?ht  eye:    In  a  moment  the  sight  of 
this  eye  was  forever  gone! 

Sarah  almost  fainted  from  pain  and  ter- 
ror. The  agony  she  suffered  was  inde- 
scribable—her eye  was  in  a  state  that 
would  make  you  feel  sick  were  I  to  de- 
scribe it— her  face  and  dress  were  all  cov- 
ered with  blood,  and  her  whole  appear- 
ance was  dreadful  to  behold. 

The  boys  were  frightened,  the  guilty 
one  trembled  with  the  utmost  fear;  but 
their  sorrow  and  fear  came  too  late— an 
injury  had  been  done  which  could  not  be 
remedied. 

The  servant  was  at  a  loss  what  to  do. 
How  should  he  break  the  dreadful  tidings 
to  the  parents  of  Sarah !     He  recollected 
that  a  surgeon  lived  near;  and  thither  he 
carried  the  suffering  child.    A  dangerous 
fever  followed  the  accident,  but  she  finally 
recovered.    The  wound  was  healed  up, 
but  the  sight  of  the  eye  could  not  be  re- 
gained.    An  eye  made  of  glass,  to  conceal 
the  deformity,  was  placed  in  the  former 
pocket;   this,  however,  did  not  assist  her 
in  seeing;  for  no  man  has  sufficient  skill  to 
make  an  eye  that  can  convey  objects  to 
the  mittd  like  the  wonderful  and  beautiful 
eye  that  God  has  given  us.    0,    how 
much  suffering  and  loss  were  the  result  of 
the  angry  moment  when  this  passionate 
boy  hurled  that  stone  at  his  playmate! 

Be  carefnl,  little  boy,  when  you  take  up 
that  stick,  stone,  knife,  or  ball;  your  sis- 
ter, brother,  or  companion  are  standmg 
near;  you  arc  in  a  passion  now,  or  perhaps 
you  may  be  in  sport;  but  you  may  inflict 
upon  them  an  injury  that  may  maim  them 
for  life,  perhaps  produce  death  even;  and 
then  you  never  conld  remedy  the  accident, 
nor  forgive  yourselves  for  the  thoughtless 
and  cruel  act.— &.  -S-  Mimr. 


Knowing  Dog. 
A  corespondent  ^he  Boston  Traveler 
tells  the  following  capital  story: 

A  gentleman,  while  discussing  the  mer. 
Us^f  hisjiog  not   long  since,   ^^"""^^^ 
that  he  was  vaTaaT)Te  to  gO^TJf  "i  i  inds. 
As  an  illustration  of  this  point,  he  private- 
ly secreted  his  handkerchief  behind  the 
cushion  of  the  sofa,  and  left  the  inn,  in 
company  with   his   dog.     After   walking 
for  some  minutes,  he   suddenly    stopped, 
and  said  to  his  dog,  "I  have  left  my  hand- 
kerchief at  the  inn.   and  want  it"— giving 
uo  particular  directions  in  reference  to  it 
:  The  ^dog   immediately   returned    m  full 
!  speed,  and  entered  the  room  whic*,he  hr»d 
'  just  left.     He  went  directly  to  the  »pfa, 
1  but  the  handkerchief  was  gone.     He  juAp- 
ed  upon  tables  and  counters,  but  it  was 
not  to  be  seen.     It  proved  that  a  friend 
had  discovered  it,  and,  supposing  that  it 
had  been  left  by  mistake,  had  retained  it 
for  the  owner.     But  Tiger  was  not  to  be 
foiled       He  flew  about  the  room,  appar- 
ently mncb  excited,  in  quest  of  the  lost  or 
stolen.      Soon,  however,  he  was  upon  the 
track;  be  scented  it  to  the  gentleman s 
coat  pocket.    What  was  to  be    done? 
The  dog  was  incapable  of  asking  verbally 
for  it  and  was  not  accustomed  to  picking 
pockets  ;  and  besides  the  gentleman  was 
ignorant  of  his  business  with  him.     But 
Tiger's  sagacity  did  not  suffer  him  to  re- 
main long  in  suspense;  he  seized  tie  skirt 
containing  the  prize,  and  furiously  tore  it 
from  the  coat,  and  hastily  made  off  with 
!  it,  much  to  the   surprise   of  its  owner 
i  Tiger  overtook  his  master,  and  restored 
i  the  lost  property,  receiving  his  approba- 
'  tion,  notwithstanding  he  did  it  at  the  ex- 
i  pen^e  of  the  gentleman's  coat.     At  a  sub- 
!  Luent  interview,  the  gentleman  refused 
any  remuneration  for  his  torn   garment 
declaring  the  joke  was  worth  the  price  of 
it     The  owner  of  this  dog  is  now  in  busi- 
ness in  Boston,  and  can  vouch  for  the  cor 
rectncsa  of  this  stor; 


A  Mother's  Love. 

BT  JAMES  CArHOUN 


Thk  virtoes  arc  lost  in  interest,  as  rivers  are 
lost  in  the  sea. 


Deep  is  the  fountain  of  a  mother's  love. 
Its  purity  is  like  the  purity  of  the  "sweet 
south  wind  that  breathes  upon  a  bank  of 
violets."    The  tear-drop  speaks  not  haU 
its  tenderness.      There  is  language   in  a 
mother's  smile,  but  ic  betrays  not  all  her 
nature.     I  have  sometimes  thought,  while  . 
gazing   on  her   countenance,   its  dignity 
slightly  changed  by  the  inelegant  accents 
of  her  young  child,  as  it  repeated,  in  obe- 
dience,  some  endearing  word-that  the 
sanctuarv  of  a  mother's  heart  is  fraught 
with  untold  virtues.    So  fondly,  so  dev(> 
tcdly  she  listens  to  its  accents,  it  would 
seem  she  catches  from  them  a  sp.nt  that 
strengthens  the  bonds  of  her  affection.    I 
have  '^cen  the  mother  in  almost  every  con- 
dition of  life ;  but  her  love   seems  every- 
where the  same.     I  have  heard  h^r  bid 
from  her  bed  of  straw,  her  darling  child 
come  and  receive  the  impress  from  her  lips, 
and  her  feeble  strains  mingled  in  the  air, 
1  have  thought  there  was  a  loveline«  in 
them  not  unlike  the  loveliness   of  an  an 
gel's  melody.     And  I  have  seen  the  moth. 
er  at  her  fireside,  deal  out  her  last  morsel 
to  her  little  ones  so  pleasantly  that  her 
own  cravings  seemed  appeased  by  the  plea- 


sure she  enjoyed.    Bat  who  that  is  not  a 
mother  can  feel  as  she  feels  ?      We   may 
gaze  upon  her  as  she  sings  the  lullaby  to 
her  infant,  and  in  her  eye  read  the  index 
to  her  affections-we  may  study  the  dem- 
qre  cast  of  her  countenance  and  mark  ti^« 
tendeniess  with  wKc^  F*e  prewc.  her  dar- 
ling  to  her  bosom,  but  we  cannot  feel  the 
many  influences  that  operate  upon  her  na- 
ture    Did  von  ever  mark  the  core   with 
which  she  watches  the  cradle  where  sleeps 
her  infant?     How  qnick   she   catches  the 
low  sound  of  an  approaching  footstep  .- 
With  what  fearful  earnestness  she  gazes 
at  her  little  charge  as  the  sound  intrude^ 
Does  it  move?    Do  its  slumbers  breab 
How  sweet  the  voice  that  quiets  it?    bare- 
ly it  seems  that  the  blood  of  but  one  heart 
sustains  the  existence  of  mother  and  child. 
And  did  you  ever  behold  a  mother  as  she 
watched  the  receding  light  of  her  young 
babe's  existence?      It  is  a  scene  for  the  | 
pencil       Words  cannot  portray  the  ten- 
derness that  lingers  upon  her  countenance 
When  the  last  spark  has  gone  out,  what 
emotions  agitate  her?     When  hope  has  ex- 
pired, what  unspeakable  grief  overwhelms 

her?  .  ,  ^„ 

I  remember  to  have  seen  a  sweet  boy 
borne  to  his  mother  with  his  eyes  closed 
for  ever     He  had  strayed  silently  away 
at  noon-day,  but  ere  nightfall  Deatji  had 
clasped  him  in  his  embrace.    The  lifeless 
tenement  of  tha^dear  boy,  as  it  burst  up- 
on the  mother's  vision,  seemed  to  convey 
an  arrow  to  her  heart.    When  the  first  parox- 
vsmol  grief  had  subsided,  she  laid  her  ear  to 
hi3lip'    as  if  unwilling  to  cr«lit  the  tae  his 
pale  countenance  bore.     S^he  put  her  band  up- 
on hi.,  breast,  but  she  felt  no  breathing  there 
She  placed  ber   fiagers  upon  his  brow,  but  it 
WM  cold.    She  uttered  aloud  bis  name-sbe 
li.tened-but  the  echoing^  of  the  name  elici- 
ted no  responding   voice.    -  Then  came  the 
misgiving  that  ber  child  was  dead.      She  im- 
priated  many  a  kiss   upon  his  cbe.k.  and  her 
tears  mingled  with  the  cold  moisture  upon  his 
brow     Her  actions  befrayed  a  fear  that  she 
could   not  do  justice  to  her  fetLngs-that  she 
could  not  express  the  anguish  of  ber  bosom. 
The  silence  that  followed  that  scene  was  like 
the  silence  of  the  sepulchre.    It  seemed  of  too 
holy  a  natore  to  disturb.    There  was  a  charm 
in  it-it  was  a  charm  hallowed  by  the  unre- 
Btrained  gnibes  of  a  mother's  love. 

Did  you  ever  awaken,  while  on  a  bed  of  sick- 
ness and  find  a  mother's  hand  pressed  close  y 
upon  your  forehead!    It  is  pleasant  thus  to, 
break  from  a  drAfc.  even  when  affliction  is  on 
yoa     You  are  assured  that  you  have  at  least 
onefriend,  and  that  friend  is  a  true  one     You 
are  assured  that  if  you  never  again  go  forth  in- 
to the  world,  you  will  die  lamented  :  and  when, 
pain  and  distre^  are  on  you  such  an  assurance 
is  consoling.    At  such  a  time  you  can  read 
more  fully  a  mother's  feelings  than  ber  tongue 
can  express  them.    The  anxiety  ^>th  which 
she  gazes  upon  you-the  tenderness  with  which 
she  sympathizes  with  yon-the  willingness  with  | 
which  she  supplies  your  wants-all  serve  to  in- 
dicate the  secret  workings  of  her  heart. 

A  mother's  love  is  unceasing.    H^^'^'^'"^" 
as  they  advance  in  years,  go  out.  ott§^o"° 
into  the    world,  and  are    scattered  ^»W|^e 
winds  of  heaven.    But  though  rivers  maj^- 
arate  them  from  ber,  they  separate  not  the 
bonds  of  her  affection.  Time  and  distance  rath^ 
er  increase  her  anxieties.    She  knows  not  th 
strength  of  her  own  attachments,  until  she  be 
'  corned  separated  from  her  ofl^pring.    Until  she 
bids  her  child  farewell  ber  nature  remains  un- 
tried    But  at  the  dread  moment  of  separation 
she  feels  the  full  weight  of  the  many  tre^ures 
of  affection  she  has  unconsciously  «nt»bed„

The  Convent  of  Mount  Sinai! 

Ages  passed  over  these  cragged  moun 
tarns  since  the  time  they  offered  a  temjKV 
rary  refiige  to  the  prophet  Elias,  without 
our  hearing   any   account  of  a  Ibcality  of 
"uch   mtens*     interest  to   the   historian, 
antiquarian,   and    the  believer,   still  the 
pietv  of  the  Empress  Helena,  the  mother 
Of  the   first   Christian    emperor,   sat   up

ities, Ixrought  the  mountain   of  the  Lord 
Mto  notice  again.     Her   pious  heart  sent 
aw-i  with  the  same  spirit  which  afterward 
aaimated  the  crusaders,  to  search  out  the 
Joly  places  refered   to  in  the  Bible ;  and 
w»en  she  found  one,  she  erected  a  monu- 
ment to  mark  it  for  the  guidance  of  future 
•f«» ;  and  the  pilgrim  may  see  the  fruits 
or  her  pious  labours  from  the   mountain

<w  and    lightning  by  the   ten   thousands

tian  country,  ages  have  passed  since  its 
first  erection,  nations  have  risen  and  fallen, 
and  there  stands  a  witness  of  more  than 
1200  years  of^the  inherent  pow«p  of  Re- 
ligion, for  it  was  that  principal  that  actu- 
eted  the  noble  and  pious  Empress  and  her 
son  to  erect  tlie  monument,  and  it  was 
that  principal,  that  since  its  erection,  has 
drawn  millions  of  (new)  pilgrims  to  the 
spot — we  will  now  introduce  to  our  read- 
ers a  few  travellers  and  allow  them  to 
state  what  it  is  to  be  seen  at  this  remark- 
able locality,  and  what  they  think  about 
the  institution. 

But  the  indulgent  reader  must  not  ex- 
pect to  be  introduced  into  a  modem  pal- 
ace,  nor  to  be  out  lived  with  novelties  no, 
the  very  raverse  it  is  to  a  structure  that 
bears  the  impress  of  times  that  are  no 
more — of  ages  that  now  are  merged  into 
the  vast  ocean  of  all  swollowing  time — 
we  shall  be  introduced  to  men  whose  man 
ners  thoughts  and  whole  life  is  but  a  copy 
of  the  dead— and  this  it  is*  that  renders  the 
subject  more  interesting,  and  rouifes  in  the 
contemplative  mind,  associations  of  so 
pe^liar  a  nature. 

The  convent  is  situated  in  a  prolonga- 
tion of  Wady  el  Raha,  which  is  here  con- 
tracted to  a  very  narrow  ravine  of  a 
broken  surfiwe,  and  literally  filled  with 
rocks.  It  is  overshadowed  on  the  east 
and  west  by  towering,  almost  perpejijicu- 
lar  mountains,     A  more  wild  and  roman- 


tic situation  could  not  probably  be  found 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth;  and  if  com- 
plete seperation  from  the  haunts  of  man 
is  sought  by  those  who  devote  themselves 
to  the  monastic  life,  this  advantage  is  here 
enjoyed  in  perfection.  A  few  small,  wan- 
dering tribes,  scattered  over  an  immense 
tract  of  country,  from  the  Nile  to  the 
frontiers  of  Syria,  alone  interrupt  the 
perfect  solitude  which  Nature  has  ordain- 
ed throughout  this  vast  region ;  and  these 
posess  so  few  habits  and  sympathies  in 
common  with  the  rest  of  the  species,  that 
they  cannot  be  regarded  as  interfering  with 
this  absolute  and  complete  seclusion  from 
the  world. 

IAm  monastic  edifice   is  ninety  paces  in 
length   by   eigthy-two   in  breadth.     It  is 
substantially   built  of  granite,   and   the 
walls,  thirty  feet  high  or   more,  present 
rather  an   imposing  exterior.     There  are 
loopholes  for  musketry,   and  some  small 
towers  in  which  cannons  are  placed,  as  it 
was  designed  to  be  a  fortress  no  less  than 
a  quiet  retreat  for  holy  men.     Its  position 
in  the   midst   of  uncivilized  tribes,  oflen 
hostile  and  always  predatory  and  treach- 
erous rendered  this  precaution  indispen- 
sable.    ITie  interior  of  the  convent  A.(k» 
not  answer  to  the  solid   constuction  dik] 
respectable  architecture  of  the   outward 
walls.     The   immense  quadrangle  is  sub- 
divided    into    seveml     courts     of  very 
irregular  forms,  an^a  large  number  of 


amalj  chambers,  about  two  hundred,  1  wa^ 
informed,  are  erected  against  the  walls* 
and  fronting  these  courts.     They  are  tn 
tered  fK)m   long  corridors,  and  some  o.' 
them,  upon  the  second  crupper  story,  orii 
tolerably   light    and  commodious.     Thv 
rest  appear  confined  and  gloomy,  though,- 
perhaps,  not  ill  adapted   to  the"  purpose ij 
for   which   they    were  erected.     The  re- 
mainder of  the  quadrangle  is   occupied 
with  a  great  number  of  chapels,  a  church, 
a  mosque,  a  well  of  good  water,  mechan- 
ics' shops,  a  spacious  refb(5tory,and  all  the 
et  ceteras  needful  in   such   an   establish- 
ment,  together   with  many  waste  rooms 
and  spaces  which  appear  to  have   no  other 
use  than  to  increase  the  air  of  comfortless 
desolation   which  reigns  throughout   the 
whole.     Everything  butfiie  external  walls 
and  the  church,  seems  fast  tending  to  ruin, 
and  all   repairs  and   improvements   are 
made  in  so  wretched  a  style,  and  with  so 
little  regard  to  plan  and  symmetry,  as  to 
increase  rather  than  diminish  the   api>oar 
anoe  of  general  dilipidation. .  The  doors, 
staircases,  dtc,  are  of  the  rudest  workman- 
ship, not  at  all  superior  to  the  cabin  which 
a  new  settler   in  the  wilda   of   America 
hastily   constructs  with  no   tools  but  his 
axe  and  auger,     ITie  blemishes  of  bung 
ling  handicraft    are  aggravated   by   the 
crooked,  misshapen   timber  employed  in 
building.     This  is  unavoidable  in  a  couii 
try  absolutely   destitute  of  this  essential 
article.     Situated  as  the  convent  is,  prob- 
ably all  the   timber  employed   about  the 
monastery  is  the  growUi  of  the  gardens 
attached   to  the  establishment.     It  is,  of 
course,  scarce  and  very  precious,  and  the 
ill-shapen  trunks  and  twisted  limbs,  which, 
in  other  places,  would  only  be  used  as  fuel, 
are  here  fashioned   into  aw»r-po«ts,  banis- 
ters, and  other   ornamental    work.     Dis- 
torted branches  of  fig  and  olive  trees  arc 
used  for  joists   and   rafters.     The  roof  is 
formed  by  placing   upon  these,    layers  of 
cane,  which   are  covered  with  etirth. 

The  visitor  to  Mount  Sinai  does  not 
fail,  with  a  monk   for  his  guide,  to   make 
the  tour  of  this  labyrinth   oi  antiquated 
chapels,  craay   staircases,   and  low,  dark 
passages.     Tliere  is  hardly  anything  worth 
seeing;  but  it  is  not  the  less  a  duty  to  in- 
spect everything  ip  such  a  place,  and  a 
f>er8on  wh<^  posesses  s^imo  sense  of  the 
udicrous,  will,  at  least,  be  able  to  derive 
a  degree  o{  amusement  from  the  grotesque 
JStyle  of  all   that  he  beholds.     In  making 
this  indispensable  tour,  the  visitor  gener- 
ally is  first  led  to  a  great  number  of  small 
chapels,  dedicated  to  different  saints  and 
angels.  .  They  all  have  a  very  antiquat(^d 
appearance,  and  are  in  bad  repair:     The 
walls  are  usui^y  covered  with  small  paint-

with  it.     We  visited,  says   Olin,  a  dozen

the  whole.  Tliey  were  probably  the  best, 
and  selected  on  that  aceoun  , 

The  sixth  chapel  which  we  entered  is 
dedicated  U>  liloses  and  Aaron.  In  this, 
the  principikl  object  is  a  picture  of  Moses 
presenting  a  tablet  to  the  Almighty,  who 
writes  the  Decalogue  upon  it  with  his  fin- 
ger. The  monk  assured  us  that,  upon 
this  occasion,  Moses  remained  on  the 
mountain  twenty  days  and  nights  without 
tasting  food. 

ITiere  is  a  small  mosque  within  the  con- 
vent, erected,  as  our  guide  averred,  in  a 
season  of  danger,  to  avert  the  destruction 
which  wiia  threatened  by  the  Mussulman 
■govenor,  to  whom  this  region  was  subject. 
ITie  whole  enclosure  was  thus  rendered 
sacred  ground  in  the  eyes  of  the  Moham- 
nu'dans  and  the  convent  saved. 

•The  church  is  by  far  the  best  part  of 
the  establishment,  and  is  really  a  fine 
building,  of  good  proportions,  and  posess- 
iHg  many  rich  and  beautiful  ornamenta. 
It  was  built  by  Justinian,  though  many 
alterati<^ns  have  probably  been  made  in 
subsequent  tiinc"*.  This  church,  like  every 
other  spot  ui  this  tialU)wi'd  region,  is  uch 
■'"    venerable   traditions.     The   church  is 


m    .--    

strongly  built,  but  not  very  large,  though, 
on  the  whole,  from  its  proportions  and 
decorations,  quite  an  imposing  structure. 
It  is  divided  into  nave  and  aisles  by  two 
rows  of  plastered  granite  columns  which 
are,  with  singular  bad  taste,  coated  with 
white-wash.  They  are  are  surmoimted 
with  capitals  of  various  designs.  Along 
the  aisles  are  ranges  of  wooden  stalls,  in 
which  the  monks  Ynust  stand  and  worsoip. 
The  pavement  is  of  marble,  in  various 
colours.  The  walls  are  hung  with  old 
paintings,  none  of  them  of  any  value. 
The  ceiling  is  flat,  painted  green,  and  stud 
(led  with  golden  stars;  and  many  lamps, 
apparently  of  gold  and  silver,  are  suspend- 
ed around  the  altar,  and  in  other  parts  of 
the  church.  The  altar,  where  the  mass  is 
performed,  is  enclosed  by  a  screen,  with 
three  openings,  of  which  the  centre  one  is 
closed  at  bottom  with  gilded  doors,  and 
above  by  a  soiled  curtain. 

[to  BI  OONTHrTSD.] 

Tlie  Neiv  Year. 

B«inK  preued  for  time,  we  continue  the 
artioU  headed  in  our  iMt  number  The  New 
Year,  from  the  Hebrew  Review— The  view 
taken  by  tbeaatbor,  is  the  popaUr  conoeption 
of  the  iroporUiMse  end  si{(nifioat)on  of  the  feaet, 
and  id  that  adopted  by  the  portion  called  the 
ortbodo;i. 

The  autumnal  equinox  being  thus  upou 
principle  held  to   commence  the  year,  its 
festival   is  celebrated   as  that  of  the  new 
year,   and   as  a  day  of  judgment  to  all 
flesh,  which  is  to  decide  their  fate  for  the 
coming  year.     Not  that  it  is  considered 
as  if  the  destiny  of  man  is  on  other  days 
less  siibject  to  the  supremacy  and  control 
of  Providence ;  but  it   is   held   that,   on 
this  particular  day,  the  absolute  conse- 
quences ot  men's  actions,  and  the  fate  of 
nations  and  of  climes,  are  meted  out  and 
weighed.     It  is  a  remarkable  fact,  that 
all  the  anclentastronomers,  of  all  nations, 
adopting  the  ide«   from  the   Jews,*  have 
given   a.s  the   sign  of  the  zodiac   for  this 
month,  the  figure  of  an  aged  man  of  stern 
aspect,  holding  a  pair  of  scales  in  his 
right  hand,  and  an  open  book  in  his  left  i 
thus  plainly  expressing  the  religious  idea 
of  this  festival,  on   which  justice Js^the 
ruling  attribute. 

The  blowing  of  trumpets,  which  we 
find  command  both  in  Lev.  xxiii.  23.  24, 
26,  and  in  Num.  xxix.  1,  is  a  rite  peculiar 


e-i* 


I  to  thia  ftstival ';  and  la  not  o]il;)r  obncved 
'  to  thia  day,  but  the  hewing  of  it  isoMlrt- 
tory  on  all  Jews,  It  has  a  dkreot  refer- 
ence to,  and  close  connexion  with,  the 
service  of  the  day.  It  proclaims  the 
king  and  his  day  of  judgement;  as  is 
said  I  King*  i  39,  "  And  tney  blew  the 
trumpet ;  and  all  the  people  exclaimed, 
God  save  the  king!''  and  in  Joel  ii;  1, 
"Blow  ye  the  trumpet  in  Zion,  and  sound 
nr*  ^^^lrtn  in  my  holy  mountain :  let  all 
the  inhabitants  tremble  ;  for  the  day  of 
the  Lord  c^raeth,  for  it  is  nigh  at  hand.' 
It  is  intended  to  call  forth  terror  at  the 
judgement  ;^a8  written  in  Exod.  xix..  ItJ, 
"And  the  voice  of  the  trumpet  was  exceeds 
ingly  loud;  so  that  all  the  people  that 
were  in  the  camp  were  terrified;'  which 
verse  is  likewise  commemorative  of  the 
pving  of  the  law.  And  in  Araosiii.  6, 
Shaljl  a  trumpet  be  blown  in  the  city  and 
the  people  be  not  terrified?"  It  likewise 
expresses  thanks,  as  in  Psalm,  "Hallelu- 
jah !  praise  him  with  trumpet  sounds." 
It  moreover  denotes  the  freedom  from 
error  and  transgressions,  which  is  to  fol- 
low thee  Tiuversal  acknowledgement  of 
the  kingdom  of  God;  as  is  written  Lev. 
xxv;  9, 10  :  "  Then  shalt  thou  cause  the 
trumpet  of  the  jubilee  to  sound,  and  prt>- 
claim  liberty  throughout  all  the  land  unto 
all  the  inhabitants  thereof."  And;  lastly, 
it  denotes  the  restoration  of  Israel ;  as  is 
written  Isaiah  xxvii.  13:  'K)n  that  day 
the  gre^t  trumpet  shall  sound,  and  those 
that  are  wandering  about  in  the  land  of 
Ashur,  and  the  outcasts  from  the  lapd  of 
Egypt,  shall  come  and  worship  the  Lord 
♦m  bi»  holy  mauntain  at  Jerusalem." 
All  these  ideas  are  connected  with,  and 
expressed  by,  the  sounding  of  the  comet 
this  day,  which  is  emphatical  called  or 
tn^t  "the  day  of  rememberancc,"  and 
n;;nn  DV  "  the  day  of  blowing." 

Tne  service  of  this  festival,  comprises 
prayers  of  a  threefold  kind:  1.  moSn 
"  Of  homage,"  to  invoke  tde  speedy  ap- 
proach of  the  kingdom  of  God,  when  all 
mankind  will  arrive  at  the  true  knowledge 
of  their  creator,  and  unite  in  the  worship 
of  their  supreme  Benefactor.  2.  rnjnDi 
"  Of  rcmemberanee  ;"  acknowledging 
the  divine  omniscience,  providence,  and  ex- 
ercise of  supremacy  towards  the  individ- 
ual ;  that  it  may  please  an  all-merciful 
God  to  remember  his  creatures  in  pity, 
and  temper  his  judgment  with  mercy. 
And,  lastly,  3.  nnoiBf  "Of  sounding  the 
cornet,"  to  celebrate  that  ftiture  jnbilee 
when  mankind  will  be  from  the  fetters  of 
errors  and  accquire  perfection  in  the 
knowledge  of  their  God.  Therefore  the 
prayers  which  it  is  the  duty  of  every 
Israelite  to  recite  on  this  festival,  enumer- 
ate such  verses  of  the  sacred  Scriptures  as 
relate  to  the  supreme  reign  of  the  Deity, 
to  his  omniscience  and  providence,  and  to 
the  trumpet  which  is  at  once  U)  proclaim 
the  liberation,  and  express  the  gratefiil 
joy,  of  mankind. 

The  sacrifice  of  Isaac  is  likewise  a  prin- 
cipal part  of  the  commemorative  ser- 
vice of  the  day  ;  to  recal  the  perfect 
obedience  of  the  great  fathers  ot  our  na 
tion,  and  the  memory  af  the  covenant  and 
oath  of  Mount  Moriah;  and  by  an  appeal 
to  that  covenant  to  implore  mercy  for  a 
siufiil  race. 

With  the  festival  of  r\:vm  &H^  (*  the 
New  Year,")  begins  the  aweful  era  called 
nawnn  'D'  rrmy  ("  the  ten  days  of  repen- 
tance,") terminated  by  the  oniDDnov. 
On  the  ni\tf7\  W»  Justice  is  the  attribute 
of  the  day.  The  doom  which  it  pronoun- 
ces Mercy  may  temper;  but  that  mercy 
must  be  implored;  not  by  prayers  only, 
but  likewise  by  repentance  and  righteotis- 
ness,  comprising  charity.  Accordingly 
the  prayers  of  both  the  New  Year  and 
the  Day  of  atonement  declare  "  that  peni- 
tence, prayers,  and  righteousness  (charity,) 
a^rt  the  evil  doom."  And  as  repen- 
taiice — sincere  contribution  for  past  sins, 
with  the  firm  determination  ts  avoid  the 
like  transgressions  Jor  the  future,  deser- 
nedly  takes  the  first  place  among  these 
three  means  of  invoking  mercy,  the  period 


especially  dpvoiad  t©  implore  the:  t^«Jf 
pardon,  preparaU.ry  to  an  emended  life 
for  the  coming  year,  i«  called  "  D4V»  <>' 
agPMTANCK."  Accordingly  it  is  aisto- 
mary  to  bomore  carefW  in  conduct,  more 
devote  in  prayer  and  m<jre  liberal  in  cha^^ 
rity,  during  these  ten  days  than  at  any 
other  period  of  the  year  ;  in  the  humble 
hope  that  sincere  repentance,  evinced  in 
deed  and  th<jught,  may  induce  Divme 
Mercy  to  mitigate  the  sentence  which 
strict  justice  proriuunoes  tjit  tiw  trans- 
greasions.  And  it  is  in  this  sense  that 
the  Talmud  says,  (Treatise  Jtosh  has/uma, 
petek,  or  "chapter,"  the  first,)  "  R. 
Chrespadoi  saidi,  I^.  Jot^hanaii  said.  Three 
books  are  opened  on  mvtri  IMO  one  for 
the  «>nfirmed  just,— one  jor  the  confirmed 
impious,— and  one  for  those  between  the 
two  extremes.  The  first  are  immediately 
inscribed  on  the  book  of  life  ;  the  «econd 
are  immediately  inscribed  on  the  book 
of  death  ;  the  third  remain  undecidexi  un- 
til the  oniBsn  or  If  their  repentance  is 
then  fonnd  sincere  and  accepted,  they  are 
inscribed  on  the  first ;  if  found  to  l)e  but 
outward  and  rejected,  they  are  inscribed 
on  the  second  book."  And,  as  no  one 
can  presume  U)  consider  himself  as  con- 
firmed just,  it  is  only  by  sincere  and 
heartfelt  contrition  that  he  can  escape  the 
fate  of  the  impious. 

If  the  Jewe  have  drawn  eo  considerably  an 
Chaldean  end  Pefiian  Mythology,  as  we  adver- 
ted in  out  last  number.  Why  suppose  this 
universal  coincidence,  though  striking  in  it- 
self«to  be  owing  to  the  Jews  :  Could  not  a  siea* 
ultateous  tradition  have  have  reached  Jew  and 
Pagan  at  the  eam^'tiuie,  and  if  any  material 
baa  been  borrowed  probably  the  Jew  was  the 
Wrf*M»*r.  w  which  cQUclueioP  weonghttobe

J'^^xmiLtk.f-^k.  friend  just  returned  from 
the  East  gires  a  farorable  account  of  the  Jews 
in  a^  Hei^Oiiy.    The  copions  rains  that 
had  &llen   early  io   tbe  spring   promised  a 
pitatifal  hartesi  and  it  was  hoped  that  the 
price  of  wheat  will  be  considerably  cheaper 
than  it  has  been  for  a   long  time.    The  price 
of  labor  is  at  present  mnch  higher  than  it  hu* 
been  for  some  time  past,  owing  to  tbe  Yarions 
biUdingn  Jo  ihe  coarse  of  ^reeties.    Meet^ 
these  baildingg  are  on  aaconnt  of  European 
GoTernmeuts,  and  more  partionlarly  of  Russia. 
In  reply  to  oar  inqniries  he  ioformed  as  that 
he    visited  the    Missionaries    Establishment 
which,  however,  has  but  a  very  few  inmates  or 
converts.    This  is  not  owing  to  the  want  of 
zeal  on  the  part  of  the  missionaries  for  he  re- 
presents them  as  most  sealoos  in  their  cause 
men  ot  acknowledged  piety  and  integrity,  bot 
it  shows  that  the  Jews  will  rather  submit  to 
poverty  than  desert  their  faitfi.    As  regards 
the  converts,   we  feel  Jj^posed  to  adopt  the 
opinion  of  a  certain   Rev.  Mr.  Jetter,  who,  at 
the  late  Conversion  Meeting  at  Exeter  Hall, 
London,  is  reported  to  have  said  :  "  It  is  often 
said  that  the  converts  of  the  Society  are  mere 
hypocritea.      Alas !  in  many  instances  they 
are  very  unworthy." — Amumean. 

Pkanck— The  daily  papers  report  that  M. 
Fonld  has  left  Paris  for  England,  whither  he 
comes  to  represent  the  Emperor  at  the  Man- 
chester Exhibition  in  his  quality  of  minister 
'  of  the  imperial  household.  M.  Fould  has  been 
invited  by  the  Queen  to  stay  some  time  at 
Windsor  Castle.  Strange  that  our  peers 
sboald  dread  so  much  the  approach  of  the 
Jews  to  the  legislatorial  seat  which  Rer  Majes- 
ty herself  does  not  scrapie  to  receive  a  Jew  in 
her  palace  as  a  guest.  Onr  peers  have  to  take 
a  lesson  of  liberality  from  their  sovereign. — 
Ibid. 

BnE4KiST. — It  is  customary  at  Bukarest 
every  Easter  for  the  ^Tince  and  all  the  most 
influential  inhabitants  to  pay  a  visit  to  the 
metropolitian.  The  principal  Jews  do  the 
same.  The  visitors  kiss  the  hand  of  the  pre- 
late, who,  returns  it  by  impressing  a  kiss  on 
the  foreheads  of  the  ealuters.  This  year,  we 
learn  from  the"  Israelite  Rjumain,"  the  recep- 
tion was  most  cordial.  Snch  is  the  spirit  of 
mutal  tolerance  which  reigns  here. 

Rome. — The  Jewish  community  ot  this  city. 
formerly  very  numerous,  now  numbers  bat 
four  tbonsand  souls,  of  whom  llie  greater  por- 
tion are  supported  by  pnblio  harity.  Never- 
theless, that  congregation  is  >ne  of  the  mc^t 
lavish  in  works  of  benevoKiiw  Barely  abjut 
a  thousand  individnals  are  com)-'ri<«d  aqong 
those  who  have  to  pay  the  sp«  ial  '  ax  Kyied 
on  trade  and  capital.  *\uioog  *\'!ises  of 

tbe  diminution  of  the  rcsoarCea  oi  >'  ■■  ')rotbers 
are  :  in  the  first  pla»  the  comp  a  m  uf  fop- 
eiga  houses  which  um  establiehr.i  j  Rome 
and,  next,  the  poorer  mechanics  v  jd  dealers 
suffer  considerably.  So  there  can  be  nothing 
mournful  than  the  appcarancebf  the  Ghetto 
If  they  only  enjo>i.d  the  rights  formerly  gran] 
ted  by  Martin  Y.,  or  if  the^  eonW  freely  de.

the  rich  would  no  longer  emigrate  to  other 
ciUes  and  thr  poor  wou'd  find  occupation,  but 
iQ  the  present  state  of  things  they  have  only

Editor  of  the  Gleaner: —

will  not  be  deemed  unwotrhy  your  attention 
and  the  ppace  I  crave  for  them  in  yonr  paper.

miss  in  it  a  proper  discription  of  those  topics 
which  a  Jewish  religions  publication  in  our 
times  ought  not  to  piiss  in  silence,  namely,  the 
respective  merits  of  orthodoxy  and  reform. — 
I  should  think  a  treatment  of  this  subject  in 
yonr  manner,  with  your  consevative  though 
enlightened  views,  would  benefit  any  side  of 
the  question  which  you  may  think  bound  to 
take' up.  I  also  think  that  it  is  only  express- 
ing the  opinion  of  a  number  of  your  readers,  if 
I  state,  that  we  have  to  expect  to  hear  an  ex- 
plicit opinion  from  you  as  an  editor,  and  a  man 
whose  silence  on  these  points  we  have  no  rea- 
son to  ascribe  to  policy  that  will  only  speak  as 
far  as  it  can  do  without  any  prejudice  to  itself, 
or  if  it  does  speak  will  stand  like  some  parties 
of  the  day,  from  whose  manner  we  can  see 
that  they  are  looking  this  way  and  that  way, 
weighing  how  much  they  have  to  give  to  one 
party  and  to  the  other  without  spoiling  it  with 
e  ither. 

The  questions  of  reform  having  been  started 
lately  in  this  city  by  a  preacher,  wlio  stated 
that  we  may  undertake  changes  with  the 
machor,  as  that  was  composed  merely  by 
learned  men,  but  that  the  prayer,  being  made 
by  three  prophets  in  a  great  assembly,  must 
not  be  altered  nor  must  we  recite  them  in  any 
other  language  but  in  Hebrew.  I  think  this 
a  proper  occassion  to  beg  you  to  Inform  your 
readers. 

iBt.— Whether  we  dare  charge  or  omit  por- 
tions of  the  machsor. 

2d. What    prophets   made   our  prayers 

where  was  that  assembly  with  whom   they 
combined  in  making  them. 

3d.— Must  we  use  only  the  Hebrew  languag 
in  onr  prayers. 

I  hope  that  you,  as  the  only  Rabbi  in  this 

State,  will  not   object  giving  the  subject  the 

attention  and  space  it  deserves,  particularly  as 

it  is  but  the  statement  of  the  laws  and  no^ 

your  opinion  which  your  readen  reequires.

The  reform  that  we  advocate  begine  withf 
the  human  heart,  finds  iU  sphere  of  action  \a 
the  eaored  preointe  of  the'.family  and  in  ou 
cooveree  with  man,  and  endiin  the  Synagogue 

It  is  not  our  intention  to  diecuee  the  re»-i 
peotive  meriU  of  the  old  and  modern  etete  of 
the  Synagogue.  So  much  ii  certain  the  an- 
cient did  not  play  eynagogne,  they  were  de- 
vout, even  if  they  coold  not  follow  the  mean- 
ing of  the  words  expreeeed  in  our  Hebrew  eup- 
plicstione ;  their  teachers  were  men  of  eterling 
wotV  -uu  tr^e  piety,  and  not  mere  performers, 
they  would  teach  what  they  thought  tobs» 
correct  and  true  and  not  what  the  people 
w6uld  with  to  hear,  and  for  which  they  (the 
Uerbere)  would  expect  to  be  hired. 

The  ancieat  eynagogne. was  true  an  1  honeet, 
and  iU  errors  were  those  of  the  head,  not  of

No,  Maimonidas  never  played  upon  the  [pre'>

But  most  not   it 

strike  every  reader  that   after  common  sense, 
the  Misl^ah,  Gemara,  Rashi,  Tosaphoth,  the 
Sulchan  Artuh,  MaimauiUs  ahA  all  the  Babbia 
teach  that  we  not  on*ro«y  pray   in  any  lan- 
guage, but  that  we  oug/U  to  use- any  one  in 
which  we  are  conversant  instead  of  the  Hebrew 
unless  we  understand  it  well,  how  doee  it  come 
that  up  to  our  age,  only  the  Hebrew  was  used  T 
The  phenomcn  is  easily  explained,  a  too  great 
adherence  to  antiquity  a  reverence  before  the 
mould  of  ages,  has  prevented  the  narrow  mind- 
ed piety,  to  Uke  like  a   Jacob,     heavy    stone 
from  the  well.    Another  adequate  reason  is 
allprevailing  power  of  habit. 
♦  Bat  the  most  powerful  reason  was— Oh  how 
humiliating  for  the   teachers,  and  how  awful 
truth  fer  the  people— the  most  powerful  reason 
was— FEAR.    Fear  of  the  people  can  Mift  up 
a    hand  against  a    Moses  and  drive  him  for 
forty    years    into  the    wildeme?s,  Exodus  2  : 
the    people  that  can  feed  four  hundred  syco- 
phants on  the    royal   table,  and  compel  their 
prophet,   a  prophet !  such  as  Elias,  to  flee  firom 
rebellious  Israel  to  the  wandering  Arab-hence 
to  the  poor  heathen  woman  in  a  heathen  land- 
and  again  from    there  to   the  barren  rocks  of 
Horeb-and     everywhere      find     a     shelter 
except  among  his  people  [1.  Kings  17, 18  :] 
whom  his  honeet  «eal  wished  to  convert  from 
idolatry,  and  under  its  rulers    whoes  he  had 
disobliged. 
The  teachers  were  afraid  of  the  rulers  who 
1  [as  tradition  reports  King  Menasseh  to  have 
done  to  the  prophet  Isaiah]  might  saw  asunder 
I  the  body  of  the  godly  seer  who  would  try  to 
I  remove  popular  blindness.    Thus  popular  cus- 
Vom  prevailed  over  canon  law ;  and  consequent 
igijorance  si  ifled  common  sense.  But  there  have 
betP  synagogues  as  far  as  thirteen  and  eighteen 
hnnired  years  back  and  even  while  the  Jerusa-

A  Willing  Hbart  and  Rradv  Hand. 

BY  J.  Ji.  KLBTrHBR. 

A  willing  heart  and  ready  haod 

Are  priceless  to  the  yoang, 
And  are  the  sources  whence  success 

In  erery  age  has  sprung  ; 
Then  cherish  them,  ye  nob  e  lads, 

Whatever  may  asBail, 
For  willing  hearta  and  ready  hands 

Are  never  known  to  fail. 
Misfortune  never  crushes 

Who  have  a  ready  hand, 
And  duty  never  cills  in  vain 

For  willing  hf^rta  to  stand 
Against  the  perils  of  the  hour — 

Against  the  darkest  day  ; 
For  willing  hearts  and  ready  hands 

Are  sure  to  win  their  way. 
Then  up,  and  bear  an  equal  slure 

In  all  that's  good  and  great. 
With  willing  hears  and  aeady  Lands, 

And  never  pine  at  fate  ; 
But  nobly  brave  the  darkest  wave 

That  rises  with  the  gale ; 
For  willing  hearts  and  ready  hands 

Are  never  known  to  fail.

Tell  me  not  lo  mouruful  numbers, 

Life  is  but  an  empty  dream  ! 
For  the  soul  is  dead  that  slumbers, 

And  things  arc  not  what  ibey  seem. 

Life  ia  real !  Life  is  earnest ! 

And  the  grave  is  not  it.-*  goal; 
Dust  thou  art,  to  dust  returnest, 

Was  never  spoken  of  the  soul 

Not  enjoyment,  and  not  sorrow', 

Is  oar  destined  end  or  way  ; 
But  to  act,  that  each  to-morrow 

Find  OS  &rther  than  to-Jav. 

Art  it  long  and  time  is  fleeting, 

And  our  hearts,  though  stout  and  brave. 
Still,  like  muffled  drums,  are  beating 

Funeral  marches  to  the  grave. 

In  the  world's  broad  field  of  battle, 

In  the  bivouac  of  Life, 
Be  not  like  dumb,  driven  cattle ! 

Be  a  hero  in  the  strife ! 

Trust  no  Future,  howe'er  pleasant ! 

Let  the  dead  Past  bury  its  dead  ! 
Act,— act  in  the  living  Pr -sent ! 

Heart  within,  and  God  o'erhead  I 

Lives  of  great  men  all  remin  1  us 
We  can  make  our  lives  g  iSlime, 

And.  departing,  leave  behin  I  us 
Footprints  on  the  sanda  of  time  ; 

Footprints,  that|perhaps  another. 

Sailing  o'er  life's  so!eT>n  main, 
A  forlorn  and  shipwreck'd  brother, 

Seeing,  shall  take  heart  again-  « 

Let  as,  then,  be  up  and  doing. 

With  a  heart  lor  any  fate  ; 
Still  achieving,  stil!  p  irsu'ng.

cy  ot  that  great  Invi-sible  who  gave  you 
your  existence,  and  who  bestowed  which 
if  cultivated  and  cherished,  promise  to  in- 
sure for  you  happiness  in  time  and  eter- 
nity. Who  haa  all  so  blessed  you  with 
kind  parents  and  instructers,  who  feel  for 
'  your  present  aud  future  welfare  the  most 
anxious  solicitude — with  numberless  oth- 
er blessings  which  should  swell  your  bos- 
om with  gratitude  and  delight. 

Thirteen  anniversaries  of  your  birth 
have  passed  away,  and  you  are  now  ver 
ging  into  life;  your  min(i^  like  the  tender 
bud  of  the  opening  rose,  is  expanding  and 
daily  becoming  more  and  more  suscepti- 
ble of  a  knowledge  of  mankind.     You  are 
as  yet  but  slightly  aware  of  the   many 
allurements  and  temptations  that  will  be- 
set the  path  of   life — the  many  induce- 
ments presented  to  your  view  by  a  vain 
deceitful  world,all  combining,  like  a  mighty 
torrent,  to  delude  and  cause  your  youth- 
ful steps  to  swerve  from  the  path  of  rec- 
titude, and  turn  aside   from    that   bright 
course  that   leads   to   piety  and   virtue. 
Each  revolving   day  presents  new  scenes 
and    new   occurrences,   all    of  which,  if 
properly  observed,   are   subjects  of  con 
temptation.     Permit  me  here,   my  dey, 
Kj  drop  a  few   hints.     In   forming   your 
future   plans  of  life,   endeavour  to   keep 
the  great  end  of  your  existence  in  view  ; 
take  the  holy  word  of  God  for   the  man 
of  jN)ur  counsel  and  guide,   set  your  face 
as  a  flint  against   the  vanities  of  youth, 
and  suffer  not  the  ^transient  pleasures  of 
a  fleeting  world  to  extract   from  you  the 
more    permanent  pleasures   that   result 
from  a   knowledge  of  the   love  of  God, 
whose  name  you  have   happily  espoused ; 
and  whether,  through  the  interposition  of 
Providence,  you  are  permitted  to  smile 
in  the  sunbeams  of  prosperity,  or  walk 
the    cheerless    vale    of  adversity,    over 
evince  equal   resignation,  and  adore  the 
Hand  by  whom  it  is  sent. 

Thus  will  you  pass  a  life  the  reflec- 
tions of  which  will,  at  the  closing  scene, 
shed  indescribable  pleasure  — a  conscious- 
ness of  having  devoted  yourself  to  the 
cause  of  piety  and  virture,  while  in  the 
posession  of  health,  and  under  the  influence 
of  that  religion  which  will  enable  you  to 
look  forward  with  pleasing  anticipation  to 
a  happy  eternity,  and  assist  you  to  unloose 
the  close  cords  of  affection  that  had  entwi- 
ned themselves  around  your  heart — ay, 
even  will  you  be  willing  to  bid  the  world 
adieu  with  holy  rapture  in  fond  anticipa- 
tion ot  joining  the  blessed  hosts  above.

not  but  be  of  absorbing  interest.  For 
laying  the  following  authentic  account  be- 
fore ttie  public  we  ask  "How  shall  we 
account  for  it?" 

Professor  Boehm,  of  known  respectabil- 
ity in  Gieseti  and  Marburg,  where  he  reg- 
ularly read  public  lectures  at  the  univer- 
sity on  mathematics — a  man  of  integrity, 
religious  sentiments,  a  friend  of  truth, 
and  anything  but  an  enthusiast — used  fre- 
4iiently  to  Telate  the  following  tale 


that  which  is  supernatural.  Somethmg 
of  this  kind  may  give  satisfaction  to  per- 
sons of  this  description,  and  to  the  super- 
ficial rea8on,but  to  the  Divine  and  the 
Philosopher  by  no  means.  We  therefore 
candidly  ask  "  How  shall  we  account  for 


It. 


PSYCHOLOOT. 

How  SHALL  WK  ACCOUNT  FOR  IT  ' 

We  have  several  times  addressed  our. 
selves  to  the  intelligent  redder  with  such 
or  similar  questions.  It  was  done  with  a 
view  to  stimidate  enquiery  and  to  elicit  s^ 
reply  from  some  quarter.  We  invite 
commtmications  on  the  subject  which  can 


where  he  wassmoakiiighispipe  and  taking 
his  tea,  without  reflecting  upoii  any  par- 
ticular subject,  he  all  at  once  felt  an  im- 
pulse in  his  mind  to  go  home.  Now,  as 
he  had  nothing  U)  do  at  home,  his  mathe- 
matical told  him  he  ouhgt  not  U)  go  home 
but  remain  with  the  company.  But  the 
inward  monitor  becamestrongcr  and  more 
urgent,  so  that  at  length  every  mathe- 
matical demonstation  gave  away,  and  he 
followed  his  inward  impulse.  On  enter- 
ing his  room,  and  looking  about  him,  he 
could  discover  nothing  particular;  but 
he  felt  a  new  excitement  within  him,  whioh 
told  him  that  the  bod  in  which  he  slept 
must  be  removed  from  its  place,  and  tran- 
sported into  another  corner.  Here  like- 
wise reason  began  again  to  operate,  and 
represented  to  him  that  the  bed  hadalways 
stood  there,  besides  which  it  was  the  fit- 
test place  for  it,  and  the  other  the  most 
unfit;  but  all  this  availed  nothing,  the 
monitor  gave  him  no  rest :  he  was  obli- 
ged to  'call  the  servant,  who  moved  the 
bed  to  the  desired  place.  Upon  this  his 
mind  was  tranquillized,  he  returned  to  the 
company  he  had  lefli  And  feU  nothing 
more  of  the  impulse.  He  stayed  to  sup- 
per with  the  company,  went  home  abont 
ten  o'clock,  then  laid  himself  in  his  bed, 
and  went  to  sleep  very  quietly.  At  mid- 
night he  was  awakened  by  a  dreadful 
cracking  and  noise.  He  arose  from  his 
bed,  and  then  saw  that  a  heavy  beam, 
with  a  great  part  of  the  ceiling,  had  fallen 
exactly  upon  the  place  where  his  bed  hatl 
previously  stm)d.  Boehm  now  gave  thanks 
to  the  merciful  Father  of  men  for  having 
graciously  caused  such  a  warning  to  be 
given  him. 

1  know  very  well  how  the  materalist 
will  explain  this  striking  and  remarkable 

Eresentiments.  He  will  say  that  the  beam 
ad  cracked  the  preceding  night,  and  that 
Boehm  had  heard  it  indistinctly  in  his 
sleep,  so  that  he  was  not  clearly  consci- 
ous of  it.  The  obscure  idea  of  danger, 
however,  still  lay  in  his  soul ;  this  idea 
became  more  lively,  the  nearer  the  period 
of  danger  approached,  and  atJenght  man- 
ifested itself  in  the  maimer  above  stated. 

This  explanation  bears  upon  its  surface 
a  gleam  of  probability  similiar  to  that 
when  the  matt^ralists  seeks  to  explain 
light,  either  as  proceeding  from  illumined 
bodies,  or  by  the  tremulous  motion  of  the 
ethereal  fluid,  occasioned  by  the  illumined 
bodies.  But  the  more  strictly  these  ideas 
are  investigated,  the  more  groundless  are 
they  found  to  be  :  at  length,  contradic- 
tions are  discovered,  and  they  are  seen 
to  be  impossible.  If,  by  the  cracking  of 
the  beam,  a  confused  idea  of  danger  had 
arisen  in  Boehm,  during  sleep,  he  would 
have  felt,  on  awaknig,  a  secret  anxiety, 
a  dread  of  something,  of  which  he  was 
ignorant — of  which  he  might  afl;erward 
perhaps  have  a  confiised  reColcction  ;  and 
then,  without  knowing  why,  might  have 
ordered  the  bed  tt)  be  removed  to  another 
place. 

But  this  was  far  from  being  the  case 
with  the  mind  of  the  professor  :  it  was  at 
ease,  and  foreboded  nothing;  and  as, 
to.ward  evening,  the  impulse  arose  to  go 
home,  it  disputed  against  it,  which  cer- 
tainly wonld  not  have  been  the  ciise  had 
this  impulse  originated  in  his  own  mind. 
The  same  thing  happened  likewise  when 
the  bed  was  trausp<»ted  to  another  place : 
Boehm  found  it  improper  and  inconveni- 
ent. 

But  to  such  sophistry  as  this  must  the 
materialist  have  recourse,  when  he  at- 
tempts to   ap[>ly  his   mechanical  laws  to 


Instructive  Example. 

ITio  following  anecdote  is  extri^^;*! 
from  a  letter  of  Joseph  Pur'it^'W j-^-^'  ^^^ 
mormngT  says  lie:,  -whiie  leading  m  \m.. 
I  was  suddenly  interrupted  by  a  noiHt' 
similiar  to  that  niade  by  rats,  when  run. 
iiing  through  a  double  wainscot,  and  en- 
deavouring to  pierce  it.  The  noise  ccus..l 
for  some  moments,  and  then  recx»mmem5ed 
1  was  only  two  feet  from  the  wamscot, 
.  and  I  observed  it  attentively  :  a  great 
' '  rat  made  its  appearance  at  the  mouth  ot 
a  hole  :  it  looked  about,  without  making 
any  noise,  and  having  reconnoitred  as 
it  wished,  it  retired.  An  instant  after,  I 
saw  it  come  again,  leading  by  the  ear 
another  rat,  larger  than  itself,  aiid  whuh 
appeared  aged.  Having  let\  tKis  at  the 
edge  of  the  hole,  it  was  joined  bv  another 
young  rat.  The  two  overrun  the  cham- 
ber, collecting  the  crumbs  of  biscuit 
which,  at  supper  the  preceding  evening, 
had  fallen  from  table,  and  carried  them  to 
the  rat  which  they  had  left  at  the  edge  of 
the  hole.  I  was  astonished  at  this  atten- 
tion  on  the  part  of  the  animals.  1  oou 
tinned  to  observe  with  care.  I  peroeive<^  | 
that  the  animal  to  which  the  two  otht+s 
brought  food  was  blind,  and  unable,  ex 
ccpt  by  feeling  about,  to  find  the  biscuit 
they  offered.  1  no  longer  doubted  that 
the  tw<i  younger  ones  were  its  olftpririfr, 
the  assiduous  and  faithful  purvejrors  ota 
blind  parent.  I  admire*- within  iiiyst* 
the  wisdom  of  Nature,  wh(>  bas  given  ^ 
all  animals  a  social  tenderrte«s,  a  grati 
tude,  I  had  almost  said  a  virtue,  proper 
tionate  to  their  faculties.  From  that  mo- 
ment, these  abhorred  vermin  seemed  to 
become  my  friends.  They  gave  me;  fur 
my  conduct  in  a  similiar  case,  lessons 
which  1  have  not  often  received  from  man 
kind.  At  this  juncture  a  pereon  opeiud 
the  door  :  the  two  young  rats  warned  the 
blind  one  by  a  cry  ;  and,  in  spite  of  their 
fears,  would  not  seek  for  saftey  till  that 
was  secure :  they  followed  as  the  latter 
withdrew,  and,  so  to  say,  served  him  for 
a  rear  guard." — Buffon. 


Tne  evil  which  we  commit  does  not  dr«w 
down  on  ns  so  much  hatred  and  prosecutioD  u 
do  our  good  qualities.

Worship— bare-ftmled— tbe  bead  covered — impropriety 
(,f  walkinic  up  and  down  irtille  ehauntio( — indifference 
about  tbe  raliglous  sute  o(  tbe  Arabs. 

The  worship  is  now  solely  that  of  the 
Greek  Church :  but  there  was  a  tf  me  when 
n4any  forms  of  worship  were  of  an  equal- 
ity here,  Beside  the  Greek  ChurcH,  stood 
the  Mosque,  whence  the  mftezzin  might, 
within  the  yrall  of  this  ChWstian  convent, 
call  the  Faithful  to  prayer.  The  Latins, 
Armenoans  and  Syrians  had  also  chapels ; 
but  the  Gre^^k  is  the  only  one  now  in  use. 

The  service,  says  Durbin,  was  long  and 
tedious.  In  the  first  place,  the  Bible,  pre- 
ceded by  two  lighted  tapers,  was  carried 
around  the  church,  and  all  the  worship- 
pers bowed  as  it  passed.  Then  came  a 
priest,  bearing  the  Host  in  like  manner. 
I  He  carried  the  chalice  in  his  right  hand, 
and  the  bread  in  a  gilded  urn  on  his  head, 
supported  by  his  left  hand.  The  urn  was 
surmounted  by  a  cross  adorned  with 
precious  stones — the  ruby,  the  emerald, 
.and  the  sapphire.  All  knelt  and  crossed 
themselves'  In  a  few  minutes  after  the 
procession  of  the  Host,  tbe  officiating 
priest  appeared  at  the  door  of  the  sanctu- 
ary, bearing  in  his  hands   a  large  golden 


chalice,  oontainingthe  Sacrament,  of  which 
none  partook.  The  service  closed  with  a 
sort  of  primitive  love  feast:  a  plate  of 
bread  was  handed  round  by  the  priest, 
and  all  that  were  prese-nt  partook.  On 
[  retiring,  most  of  the  monks  kissed  a  much- 
worn  picture  w^ich  lay  on  a  small  cano- 
pied standi 

Over  the  altar  is  a  mosaic  picture  of 
the  Transforation,  a  copy  of  which  may 
be  found  in  Lab'orde's  Travel  s.  But  the 
most  sacred  plac !  about  the  whole  moun- 
tain, in  the  estimation  of  the  monks,  is  a 
chapel  behind  the  a]tAr,covering  the  iden- 
tical spot  on  which  the  Burning  Bush  is 
said  to  have  flamed  to  Most*.  The  spot 
being  considered  holy  ground,  the  trav- 
eller has  to  take  off  his  shoes  at  the  door 
of  the  chajpel.  It  is  adorned  with  rich 
lamps  and>lother  offerings  of  pious  pil- 
grims. Aljd  the  precise  spot  where  the 
bush  is  reported  t<^>  have  stood,  a  space  of 
three  feet  by  two,  is  covered  with  silver 
plates. 

Another  chapel  contains  the  tomb  of 
St.  Catherine,  who  was  martyred  in 
Egypt,  and  whose  body  is  reported  to 
have  been  borne  by  angels  to  the  top  of

Catherine.    The  pretended  relics  of  this 


S 


martyr  are  kept  in  a  1>ox  which  is  showed 
by  the  monks  with  great  formality.  From 
this  precious  deposite  the  convent  receives 
its  name.  A  splendid  lid  for  a  sarcopha- 
gus is  likewise  showif  in  this  chapel,  said 
to  have  been  sent  hither  by  an  empress — 
Ann  or  Catherine  <>f  Russia — who  wished 
Ui  be  buried  here.  That  wish  was  disi^) 
pointed,  but  the  lid  is  justly  prized  48  one 
of  the  rich  treasures  of  the  convent.  It 
appeared  to  be  of  massive  silver,  elegant- 
ly embossed,  and  contains  a  likeness  of 
the  empress  in  high  relief. 

A  rect^t  highly  intelligent  and  learned 
traveller  expresses  himself  about  the 
chapel  and  service  in  the  following  words : 
"The  chapel  (as  many  aprieht  buildings) 
was  but  scantily  lighted.  It  was  gaudily 
decorated  on  all  sides  with  pictures,  stat- 
ues, candles,  lamps,  &c.  There  is  too 
much  of  tinsel  here.  A  high,  large,  bare, 
rocky  hall,  would  have  satisfied  our  idea 
of  a  chapel  for  Sinai.-  This  toy  is  certain- 
ly out  of  place.  Instrumental  music  ia 
almost  unknown  in  the  churches  of  the 
east,  so  here  it  was  wholly  the  human 
voice  that  was  employed.  The  chanting 
saluted  us  as  we  entered,  but  we  were 
only  able  to  catch  a  few  words  of  the 
modem  Greok  in  which  it  was  read.  It 
was  not  irreverent,  yet  it  was  noroolemn

Tlie  mode  of  calling  the  monks  to  pray- 
er will  remind  many  of  our  readers  of  the 
ancient  mode  of  ajling  to  synagogue. 
In  times  when  the  press  was  not  so  ready 
a  medium  of  communication,  and  bells 
would  neither  have  been  allowed  by 
Christian  authorities  nor  adopted  by  tjie 
Jews,  the  people  were  called  to  synagogiie 
through  their  J6po»  (beadle)  who  woUld 
nr»ake  a  tour  thrrMigh  those  parts  of  th^ 
city  where  Jews  live  and  call  aloud  in  the 
street  "to  school,"  (school,  synagogue,  or 
he,  with  a  sort  of  a  mallet  would  knock 
at  the  dof)rs  of  every  Jewish  house  (our 
ears  in  the  years  of  childhood  were  salu- 
ted with  both  modes),  the  following  irom 
Bonar  will,  as  we  stated  before,  remind 
many  a  reader  of  those  days;  . 

We  had  heard  the'  bell  ring,  or  rathle* 
the  wood  sound,  fort  it  is  by  striking  a 
long  beam  of  Wood  that  they  summon  to 
service.  They  had  three  bells,  of  perhaps 
two  centuries  old,  but  they  do  not  use 
these,  perhaps  throiigh  the  force  of  imme 
morial  custom.  For  in  past  ages  they 
were  not  allowed  to  use  bells.  As 
Mahommedans  do  not  use  bells  them- 
selves, but  summon  to  prayer  by  means 
of  the  human  voice  alone,  so  they  seem 
to  have  prohibited  the  use  of  bells  to 
others.  JDebarred  the  use  of  bells,  the 
Christian  ingeniously  contrived  to  con- 
struct and  so  to  strike  wooden  bars,  as 
to  make  them  give  out;  a  sound  not  un- 
like a  small  bell.  It  was  this  bar  of 
timber,  placed  in  a  sort  of  shed  or  belfry 
aboiit  the  centre  of  the  east  wall,  that  has 
emitted  the  shrill  sort  of  sound  which  we 
had  bi^ard.

j      TIjc  origin  and  institution  of  the  "^ifia  Qi' 

>  is  to  be  fovfid  iu  Leviticus  xvi.  29:  "And 

it  shall  bejin^to  you  a  statute  for  ever :  in 


make  an  atonement  for  all  the  children  of 
brael  for  all  their  sins  once  a  year/' 
And  again,  in  Leviticus  xxiii.  26:  "And 
the  I^rd  spoke  nnto  M^ses,  saying, Speak 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  and  say,  Also 
unde'r-(  **°  ^^®  tenth  day  in  this  seventh  month 
is  the  day  of  atonement :  it  shall  be  an 
holy  convocation  unto  you ;  and  ye  shall 
afflict  your  souls,  and  offer  a  burnt  offer- 
ing unto  the  Lord.  And  ye  shall  do  no 
work  in  that  same  day  ;  for  it  is  a  day  of 
atonement,  to  atone  for  you  before  the 
Ijord  your  God.  And  every  soul  that 
shall  ,not  be  afflicted  on  that  same  day, 
he  shall  be  cut  o/Tfrom  among  his  people: 
And  every  soul  that  does  any  work  on 
that  same  day,  that  soul  will  I  destroy 
from  among  his  people.  Ye  shall  do  no 
maimer  of  work:  this  is  a  statue  forever 
unto  all  your  generations  and  through- 
out all  your  dwellings.  It  shall  be  unto 
you  the  first  amongst  your  sabbaths,  and 
ye  shall  afflict  your  souls;  on  the  ninth 
day  of  the  month  at  even  ;  from  even  to 
even  shall  ye  celebrate  yonr  sabbath." 

Whilst  the  Isralites  in  their  own  land 
worshipped  at  the  altar  of  their  temple, 
and  in  strict  accordance  with  the  rite's  dic- 
tated by  their  God  through  Moses  his 
servant,  the  service  of  this  day  was  equal 
ly  solemn  and  splendid ;  it  was  the  only 
ca^y  throughout  the  ye«r  on  which  even 
tile  Cohen  hagadol  ("the  high  priest''') 
presumed  to  enter  the  most  holy  sanctu- 
ary of  the  temple,  or  to  pronoimce  the 
venerated  and  dreaded  name  of  the  Deity, 
-which  at  •any  othet  time  it  was  unlawful 
even  for  him  to  utter.  The  glories  of 
this  great  great  day,  while  it  was  still  cel- 
ebrated in  the  place  "  which  the  Lord  had 
chosen,  there  to  enthrone  his  name,"  are 
commemorated  (n  thciDlD  service  of  the 
synagogue.  In  the  present  article  we 
must  content  ourselves  with  giving  a  con- 
cise sketch  of  the  observance  of  the  day 
as  now  in  use. 

According  to  tradition  the  llfl3  OV  even 
before  the  Law  giving  of  the,  was  a  day  of 
atonement  and  pardon.  Adam  did  pen- 
ance and  was  pardoned  on  this.  Abraham 
entered  into  the  covenant  of  the  circum- 
ciscion  on  this  day.  Moses,  after  he  had 
broken  the  first  tables,  ascended  the  mount 
again  on  the  first  day  of  Elul  ;  so  that 
the  second  forty  days  expired  with  the 
ilflO  Dl'  on  which  day  the  Lord  pardoned 
the  people,  and  revealed  his  thirteen  at- 
tributes. The  Jew,  therefore,  approaches 
this  (to  him)  most  important  day  with 
mingled  feelmgsof  holy  awe  and  be«tit»idc. 
The  eve  is  allotted  to  8<»lemn  feasting;  and 
at  sunset  the  twenty-four  hours  fast  and 
continued  prayers  commence.  These 
prayers  chiefly  consist  of  confessions  of 
our  sins  and  utter  unworthiness'  impk>- 
ring  the  Divine  Mercy  to  pardon  us. 

The  preperations  for  the  fast  partake  of 
that  awful  solemnity  with  which  this  life 
is  quitted  for  a  better  world.  It  is  cus- 
tomary in  the  evejiing  for  parents  t<i  be- 
stow tneir  benediction  on  their  children  ; 
and  the  truly  pious  Jew  pronounces  this 
|>le88ing  with  the  fervour  and  heartfelt 
^^mphasis  of  his  dying  momenrs. '  Who- 
soever meet  on  that  day,  be  they  pre- 
viously aco<]uainted  or  complete  strangers, 
salute  each  other  with  brotherly  love  and 


A>. 


8l|jcerity.  If  any  quarrel  or  di\|>«il>  Sex. 
ists  between  two  Jews,  it  is  obligajow  ><m 
tbem  to  become  reooneiled,  befote  «ftber 
of  them  presmnes  to  appear  in  the  pi'es- 
enoe  of  his  C^>d.  He  that  is  conscious  of 
having  wronged  his  neighbour,  is  bound 
to  offer  reparation.  He  that  is  conscious 
of  tiaviiig  offended  or  irijuTcdhis  neighbour, 
is  bound  to  beg  his  pardon,  and  to  ap- 
pease him.  The  Talnuid  saith,  m  die 
treatise,  Yomah,  "  R.  Eleazar,  the  s<5n  of 
Asaria  preached  '  From  all  your  sins  be^ 
fore  God  shall  ye  be  purified'  (Leviticus 
xvi.  30).  Your  sins  before  God  oidy. 
A  transgression  man  is  guility  of  towards 
his  God  111)3  Din  will  atone  :  but  a  trans- 
gression man  is  guilty  of  towards  his 
neighbor."  Hence  it  is  customary  even 
for  intimate  friends,  who  have  been  in 
daily  intercourse,  to  solicit  each  other's 
pardon,  lest  any  even  unintentional  of- 
fence remain  unappeased. 

The  law  which  ordains  the  observance 
of  the  day,  likewise  commands  the  Jew 
"to  efflict  his  soul."  This  afflictbig  of  the 
soul  by  means  of  the  body,  according  to 
tradition,  consists  iu  abstaining  from^  five 
indulgences  :  — eating  and  drinking  ;  ba- 
thing ;  perfuming ;  wearing  shoes,  and 
sexual  (snjoyment.  And  as  total  absti- 
nence is  the  duty  of  the  day  itself,  feasting 
is  the  duty  of  the  preceding  day.  The 
Talmud  saith  (Treatise  Y«.mah,)  "  '  Ye 
shall  afflict  your  souls  on  the  t*inth  day  of 
the  month.'  1$.  Chiia,  the  son  of  R.  Ashi, 
saith,  '  He  that  fea«ts  the  )itnth  day  Is 
considered  to  have  fasted  on  the  ninth  and 
tenth  days.'  The  reason  is,  that,  after 
enjoying  the  good  things  of  this  world,  it 
requires  a  greater  command  over  one's 
passions  and  desires,  to  reduce  them  to 
that  subdued  state  which  is  to  attend  the 
afflicting  of  the  soul.  For  the  Jew  is  on 
this  day  to  divest  himself  of  all  earthly 
passion,  thoughts,  and  considerations,  and 
is  to  prefigure  to  himself  that  ftiture  state 
of  blessedness  and  purity  to  which  in  an- 
other world  he  is  destined."  The  author 
of  pwy  mpj;  commenting  on  the  words, 
"  And  every  soul  that  shall  not  be  afflic- 
ted on  tiiat  day,  shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  his  people,"  (Lev.  xxiii.  29,)  saith, 
"  As  every  feeling  of  beatitude  and  holy 
joy  is  permitted  on  this  day,  the  threat  is 
less  as  a  punishment  than  as  a  fact.  For 
as  the  whole  of  the  day  is  devoted  to  the 
nobler  part  of  man, — his  soul, — he  that 
does  not  so  devote  that  day  as  to  prepare 
himself  for"  the  future  state,  is  already  out 
off  from  among  his  people  with  whom  he 
has  no  community  of  feeling,  of  atone- 
ment, or  of  future  bljss." 

The  law  declares  "  This  is  a  statute  to 
you  for  ever  unto  all  your  generations, 
and  throughout  all  your  dwellings."  Such 
is  the  divine  command  ;  accordingly,  its 
observance  is  most  strict  by  every  one 
who  claims  the  name  of  Jew.  Even 
those  who  make  light  of  other  observance 
throughout  the  year,  feci, — as  it  were  in- 
volunt4irily— T-impressed  with  the  impor- 
tance of  the  day,  and  the  necessity  of  con- 
formingto  the  revealed  will  of  the  Cre- 
ator. They  feel  that  an  amended  course 
of  life  is  commanded,  and  is  indeed  their 
duty  ;  that  the  season  < if  repentance  is  at 
hand  ;  and  they  hasten  to  mingle  with 
that  congregation,  to  share  those  rites, 
and  utter  those  prayers,  which,  during  the 
preceding  part  of  the  year,  they  may  have 
neglected'  And  who  shall  say  that  their 
repentance  is  not  efficacious  ?  "  For  I 
desire  not  that  the  sinner  should  perish, 
but  that  he  should.' turn  from  his  evil  ways, 
saith  the  Lord"  (Ezek.  xviii.  23). 

The  moral  influence  of  a  day, — when 
rich  and  poor,  penetrated  alike  with  the 
sentiment  of  tJieir  utter  unworthiness, 
bow  in  the  dust  before  the  omniscient 
Judge  of  all  when  the  wise  man  consid- 
ers not  his  wisdom  as  a  shield,  nor  the 
wealthy  his  large  possessions  as  a  pro- 
tection, but  when  all,  with  one  accord  of 
heart  and  of  voice,  exclaim,  "  Pardon,  O 
Lord,  according  to  thy  great  mercy,  the 
sins  of  this  people,  and  of  the  stranger 
that  dwelleth   amongst    them,   even   as 


thou  hast  pardoned  from  Egypt  un 
now."  The  moral  influence  of  such  a  < 
is  more  easily  appreciated  than  descril 
But  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  ff^l 
iag«  of  equality  and  brotherly  love,  whifjl 
prevails  amongst  the  Jews  to  a  greater  I 
degree,  pn^wps,  than  amongst  most  othvl

la  the  Hebrew-  the  only  Language 
for  Prayer  ?

We  have  succeeded  in  our  last  in  showing 
that  the  Rabbles  cannot  be  accused  of  the  ab- 
surdity of  teaching,  as  did  a  preacher,  in  this 
city,  lately  try  to  impose  upon  his  hearert  (see 
Gleaner  page  280)    that  the  Hebrew  was  the 
only  language  for  prayer,  and  that  lip-work  in 
Hebrew  was  to  be  preferred  to  prayer  in  a 
language  that  is  understood.    The  man  who 
tries  to  impose  such  upon  the  public,  ought  to 
be  spurned  by   the    orthodox    for    teaching 
against  the  explicit  words  of  the  Rabbis  ;  and 
by  reformers,  for  his  efforts  to  sell  them  dark- 
ness instead  of  light,  and  to  teach  regress  in 
stead  of  progress,  and  even  those  to  whom  the 
whole  of  worship  is  but  play,  to  whom  the 
preacher  is  but  the  hired  man  to  tell  "  "5^  pj 
L.  m ;"  even  them  it  most  concern  to  have 
the  ^ame  played  true,  else,  their,  silence  and 
submission  to  false   players  exposes  them  in 
the  eyes  of  the  stranger  who  hears  that  such 
performances  are   pa'atable,  snoh  aotors  ap- 
plauded and  eren  courted,  and  allowed  "  to 
strut  the  stage.,,    We  merely  speak   on  an 
oecMioD  in  a  country  and  an  age,  when  and 
where  no  honest  man  dare  connived  at  the 
abase ;  and  we  willingly  will  open  the  columns 
of  this  our  dearly  paid  for  publication,  to  those 
who  can  justify  the  wrong  done  to  our  cause 
and  the  synagogue,  or  who  can  point  out  to  us 
any  error  in  the  principal  we  defend — we  in~ 
▼ite  justification  and  reputation  not  only  from 
this  state,  bat  from  onr  readers  in  the  Atlantic 
and  European  states. 


We  will  now  subadd  to  the  unanimous  voice 
of  common  sense,  and  of  the  array  of  teachers 
adduced  in  our  last  numbea  vis  :     ♦07C'n*- 

DDon  niDDin  .♦en  i«*toj  .rr:B^ 

rr-TCand    Q^D') 

To  these  we  add  two  more  aames  whose  au- 
thority on  this  point  will  not  be  questioned  by 
any   man :    we    add    R   Joseph   Albo    the  t 
D^py  7J^3and  R.  Jehuda  Hallevi  the  au 
thor  of  Dn^on  "tfiD  JBook  for  the  Pious.] 

R.  Joseph  Albo  in  laying  down  three  nec- 
eessary  conditions  to  render  our  prayers 
scceptable,  mentions  HJID  Devotion  as  one 
of  them,  and,  since  be  does  not  mention  the 
language  in  which  prayer  has  to  be  performed, 
it  is  obvious  that  he,  in  this  point,  agrees, 
with  all  our  genuine  teachers  and  that  accord- 
ing to  his  opinion  Devotion  is  by  no  means  to 
be  sacrificed  to  mere  sounds.  We  will  here 
quote  Albo  in  full  as  the  passage  is  worthy  of 
a  perusal.     In  OHp^  part  4,  ehap.   23,  this 

learned  divine  writes  as  follows  : 

It  i»  ft  geeeral  mte,  that  there  are  three 
things  required  to  render  prayer  acceptable 
via  :  Brevity,  Devotion  and  Humility. 

Brevity :  That  they  be  recited  in  short  and 
appropriated  sentences,  such  that  evince  the 
devotion  of  him  who  prays.  Therefore  let  him 
not  use  many  words ;  for  the  fool  multiplieth 
words.  Let  him  not  be  counted  among  those 
•f  whom  it  is  said  "  as  a  dream  proceeds  from 
a  multitude  of  business,  so  do  many  words 
from  a  foolish  heart,"  Koheleth  7  ;  2. 

Devotion  :  That  the  heart  should  follow  the 
words  uttered  by  the  lips ;  so  that  he  who 
means  to  pray  should  not  be  like  those  in  re- 
gard to  whom  it  is  said  "  They  babbled  [nrii) 
sch— watzen]  unto  Him  with  their  lipe,  and 
lied  with  their  tongues,  while  their  hearts  were 
not  right  with  him,  Psalm  78,  36  :  but  let  him 
[the  supplicant]  be  of  those  whose  heart  is 
carried  on  his  lips,  as  David  said :  Let  the 
word  of  my  mouth  and  the  meditations  of  my 
heart  be  acceptable  before  thee  ;  Psalm  19  : 
12,  meaning  when  words  and  thoughts  coincide, 
then  will  the  words  be  acceptable. 

Huoiility:  That  the  supplicant  express 
himself  in  alow  tone  and  subdued  voice,  like 
a  man  standing  before  his  master ;  lest  we  ap. 
ply  to  him  the  passage"  They  uttered  voices, 
therefore  I  hate  them,  Jeremiah  12  :  8,  and 
these  are  the  ^conditions  without  which  it  is 
impossible  for  prayers  to  be  acceptable. 

So  far  Albo.    Devotion  he  makes  a  con- 
ditio sine  qua  non.  And  since  the  experience  0  f 
eighteen    centuries     proves    that  the   multi- 
tude even  in  those  couutries,  aod  in  such  times 
when  oar  education  consisted  of  nothing  but 
the  study  of  Hebrew — as  is  the  case  in  Russia, 
and  was  in  Germany  up  to  the  end  of  the  last 
century,  that  even  in  such  countries  and  times 
the  multitude  cannot  become  sufficiently  con- 
versant with  the  Hebrew,  as  he  [Albo]  does 
not  make  the  Hebrew  one  of  the  conditions, 
it  is  no  injustice  to  decide  that  Albo  bad  he 
been  asked,  would  have  taught  with  the  author- 
ities mentioned  already  "  Man   may  pray  in 
any  language,  and   better  do  worship   in  any 
language  which  we  understand  than   in  the 
Hebrew,  if  not  under  stood." 

We  now  quote  the  D'TDn  "liJD  The  an. 
thor  of  this  book  expressly  states   in   m»D 

nflSJTl  "  I* '"  better  for  a  man  to  pray  and 
recite  the]/J};^  and  the  blessings  in  a  lan- 
guage which  be  understands,  than  in  the  Holy 
tongue,  if  be  does  not  understand.it."  The 
author  continues  by  applying  to  the  case  in 
question  passages  from   Jsaiah  29:,   which 


I'eads :  And  [in  times  of  dec«y  a  man  shall] 
give  the  book  unto  him  that  does  not  ander- 
stand  it,  saying  :  pray  read  this  for  m«,  and  he 
will  answer,  "  1  do  not  understand  the  book," 
to  thoae  who  pray  with  their  lips  without  the 
understanding  of  their  heart,   and  (in  such  a 
Buaiw,  iwi^uiiuaTiie  propiiei  jis  taB  name  01  tire 
Lord)  the  Lord  said,  "Whereas  this  people 
draw  near  (me)  with   their  mouth,  and  with 
their  lirs  merely  do  they  honor  me,  (not  under 
standing  what  they  utter)  but  have  removed 
their  hearts  far  from   me,  and  their   Religion 
(^^'^*)  towards  me  consists  of  mere  enactments 
of  men  which  [are  not  founded  in  reason  and 
the  Ijiw,  but]  have  to  be  learned  ;  "  therefore 
behold   the  wisdom  of  this  wise  man  shall  be 
lost,  and  the  intelligence  of  their  intelligent 
man  shall   have  to  bide  itself,"   [how   awful 
true,]  and,  concludes  our  author,  "  whosoever 
does   not  anderstand,  (the  Hebrew,)  let  him 
not  pray ;  for  prayer  depends  00  the  heart ;  if 
the  heart    understands,   then  it  is  well,  his 
prayer  will  be  acceptable. 

What  man  has  the  welfare  of  mankind  at 
heart,  can  read  these  opinions  of  the  pious  R 
Jehudah  and  Albo  and  the  number  of  other 
sources  which  we  have  quoted,  without  won- 
dering at  the  effrontery  of  abasing  the  public 
by  teaching  the  contrary. 

We  have  now  fully  proved,  that  if  we  even 
admit  the  Rabbis  to  be  infallible  authorities, 
we  even  than  had  a  right  to  gee  in  private  tnd 
in  public  worship,  any  language  that  is  under- 
stood, in  preference  to  the  Hebrew  if  the  lat- 
ter is  not  understood.     We  could  here  adduce 
the  opinion  of  Maimonidas  '2^  Jj  JX^)J2  on 
the  subject ;  and  the  striking  comment  ot  his 
commentator  y\^  Q^  )y21  i  ^nt  we  reserve 
that  for  another  opportunity,  when  we  shall 
show  that  true  prophets  always   were  wrong 
with  their  people;  with  this  we  now  conclude 
our  first  article.    It  remains  now   for  us  to 
show  that  our  forefathers,   even  as  early  as 
before  the  destruction  of  the  temple   [about 
1787  years  ago]  have  in  private  in  the  Syna- 
gogue, not  only  used  prajers  in  the  vernacular, 
but  they  used  them  in  the  most  important 
transactions  of  their  public  aod  private  life. 
Secondly,  the  assert  that  our  prayers  were 

made  by  the  nSn^H  nD:)D  'mi<  [though 
we  well  know,  where  this  is  started]  shows  a 
want  of  critical  acuuien,  and  an  ignorance  ot 
the  history  of  ottr  literature,  which  would 
scarce  be  excusable  in  a  tyfo  who  overturned 
some  leaves  in  the  investigations  of.  the  giant 
minds  who  have  cultivated  that  field, 


This  being  the  dose  of  the  examination  of 
the  deparments  of  the  Hebrew  School,  premj. 
urns,  from  the  Sehool  committee,  were  distribn. 
ted  among  the  pupils.    We  were  pleased  wit^ 
the  manner  of  several  children  on  receiving 
them. — Master  Isaac  Adms,  on  bearing  bii 
name  catted,  stepped  forward,  receiTed  his  pre. 
miam,  bowed,  thanked,  and  retired  and  with  1 
respectful  bearing,  and  a  modesty  rarely  to  b« 
met  with  in   children  in  this  country.    Next 
deserves  to  be  mentioned  Matilda  Ochs,  a  cliild 
aboat  seven  years  and  a  half  old  ;  there  was 
a  combination  of  female  dignity  and  modestj 
in  the  child's  manner  and  looks  that  spoke  ei- 
ceedingly  well  for  it.    Isaac  Blum  received  the 
greatest  number  of  premiums,  as  almost  every 
child  received  something,  we  need  not  name 
them.    After  the  distribution  of  the  premiamB 
and  a  pause,  the  examination  of  \he|day-Bchool 
commenced  :  Reading,  Spelling,  Othography, 
(Jeography,  Arithmetic,  German  and  French, 
were  the  subjects  of  examination.    After  the 
examination  was  closed,  a  collation  given  to  the 
•hildem  by  the  School  committee,  and  a  happy 
time  it  was  for  the  little  flock.    To  find  fault, 
would  appear  invidious  ;  to  pass  encomia,  be- 
longs to  the  abject  flaterer.      The  children  are 
very  young,  and  have  been  but  a  few  mootb, 
under  the  management  of  their  teachers — we 
have  no  estimate  of  what  they  owe  to  former 
training  or  to  the  school.    We  werepleased  to 
abserve  that  both  teacbcra  avoided,  in  a{^>ear- 
anoe  and  manner,  all  afifectation  and  ostentation 
they  did  not  wisn  to  impose  upon   the  parents 
and  friends  an  exhibition  instead  of  an  xeamina- 
tion.    The  children  had  not  been  drilled  for 
the  occasion.    Mr.  Levy's  manner  is  calcula- 
ted sufficiently  to  interest  the  attention  of  the 
pupils,  his  deportment  is  that  of  the  gentlemen. 
The  appearan(%  dress,   and  address  of  Miss 
Levinson  is  well  calculated  to  inspire  confidence 
in  the  parents,  and  to  exercise  a  benificial  in- 
fluence upon  the  imitative  faculties  of  her  pa- 
pils.    As  to  the  efficiency  of  the  teachers,  that 
the  future  only  can  show ;  the  past  did  not  af- 
ford eufficieot  opportunity  for  a  display  of  this 
quality, 


Levy's    Institute- 


On  the  thirteenth  inst,  we  witnessed  the  ex- 
amination of  the  pupils  of  this  Institute,  in 
the  basement  of  the  Broadway    Synagogue. 

The  religious  instruction  of  that  school  stands 
under  the^Jirection  of  a  school  committee  ap- 
pointed by  the  Synagogue  Immanuel  aod, 
with  the  day-school,  under  thesuperiuteodance 
of  Mr.  Levy  assisted  by  Miss  Levinson,  and, 
till  of  late,  by  a  gentleman  who  has  left  the 
city,  and  w^ose  place  has  not  beej^  supplied 
yet. 

The  number  of  chldren,  that  were  present 
at  the  examination,  amounted  to  from  sixty  to 
seventy ;  and,  on  enquiry,  we  were  informed 
that  several  children  were  absent  on  account  of 
sickness. 

The  exercises  were  opened  aqd  concluded 
with  a  song.  The  branches  examined  were  as 
follows : 


Habrew  Depatment. — The  first  class  trans- 
lated TiC'D  nOC*-    Two  junior   divisions 
read  and  spelt  Hebrew.  * 

History  0/ the  Bible. — The  seniors  were  ex- 
amined in  the  History  of  Moses ;  the  junior 
class  were  questioned  on  the  History  of  the 
Creation. 

Catechism. — Questions  on  the  origin  of  the 
Festivals  :  the  recital  tie  Hebrew  months, 
and  the  Decalogue. 


The  .Ajiniyersary  of  the  Birthday 
of  La  Fayette. 

This  day  was  celebrated  Monday,  the  7tb 
inst  by  our  city  in  a  manner  highly  creditable 
to  our  citizens.  The  procession  on  the  ocoaeioD, 
was  the  greatest  and  most  splendid,  that  hsa 
ever  been  witneised  in  California.  It  was 
visible  that  all  raaks  and  stations  were  deter- 
mined to  evince  their  marks  of  gratitude  and 
respect  to  the  spirit  of  the  great  man,  the  friend 
of  our  republic,  the  hero  of  the  day.  The 
young  and  the  old,  the  gay  and  the  grave,  the 
church  and  state,  were  most  respectably  repre- 
sented on  the  occasion,  Judge  McAllister  wa« 
the  President,  Mitou.  S.  Latham  the  orator, 
Frank  Soule  Esquire,  the  poet  of  the  day,  we 
regret  that  our  limited  space  will  not  allow  ui 
to  give  apace  to  the  beautiful  poem  from  the 
pen  of  onr  highly  talented  fellow -citizen,  in 
these  eolumoe.  The  whole  celebration  went 
off  well,  under  the  excellent  maaagement  of 
J.  P.  Haven  E•quir^  the  Grand  Marshall  of 
the  day,  and  the  committee  of  management  for 
the  oooasion.  May  this  act  of  respect  and 
gratitude  to  departed  worth,  kindle  and  enliven 
thesa  noble  virtues  among  us,  particular]/ 
among  the  young;  so  that  the  lesson  taught  by 
the  day  we  celebrate  may  exercise  his  bene- 
fial  influence  for  ages  to  come. 

Stopping  Papers. — An  Exchange  says  :— 
'When  a  man  gets  mad  and  stops  his  paper,  he 
always  borrows  the  next  number  of  his  neigh- 
bors to  see  if  the  withdrawal  of  his  patronage 
hasn't  killed  the  editor  and  dressed  the  columns 
in  mouming.  This  grows  out  of  the  fact  that 
none  try  to  show  their  spite  in  this  way  bu^  the 
kind  of  people  who  imagine  that  the  world 
rest  on  their  shoulders,'

Vew  Year's  Hymn. 

A»  o'er  tbe  past  mjr  memory  strays, 

Why  heaves  the  secret  ^igb  ? 
Tis  that  I  moara  dcp^utcd  day^, 

Still  nnprepxred  to  die, 

Tbe  world,  and  worldly  things  beloved, 
My  anzioos  thoughts  employed  ; 

And  time  anballowed,  unimproved, 
Presents  a  fearful  void. 

Yet  Holy  Father !  wild  dsspair, 
Chase  from  my  labouring  breast ; 

Thy  grace  it  is  which  prompts  the  prayer, 
That  grace  can  do  the  rest. 

My  life,8  brief  remnant  all  be  thine  : 

And  wb^a  i  by  sur^  decree 
Bids  me  thiu  fleeting  breath  resign, 

0  speed  my  soul  to  thee  ! 

n»  ChlM*s  frajrerforHsw  Tear's  Day. 
.0  Lord,  ||hoi.se  days  are  without  eu<;l, 
and  whose  mereiea  cannot  be  numbered, 
I  thank  thee  for  thy  got^drress  in  bringing 
nie  to  the  beginning  of  another  yew, 
O  may  I  spend  this  year  better  than  the 
last,  so  that  at  its  end  I  may  be  so  much 
nearer  heaven.  I  thank  thee  for  all  the 
blessings  I  evyoy  ;  and  I  pray  that  all  chil- 
dren and  people  that  are  suffering  from 
hunger  and  the  cold,  may  have  food  and 
raiment,  and  all  the  ot)mforts  that  they 
need.  I  pray  for  my  dear  parents  and 
friends.  May  this  be  a  happy  year  to  us 
all;  aad  if  any  of  us  should  die  this  year, 
O  wilt  thou  take  us  to  thyself  in  that 
blessed  world  where  there  shall  be  no 
more  death;  and  thine  shall  be  all  the 
glory,  through  thy  mercy  our  Lord  and 
Redeemer.     Am  in. 


How  often  I  rose  frM»  my  bed, 

And  did  not  m&ember  my  prayer ; 
Or  if  a  few  won^  1  hav«  MUt 
My  thought*  h»vi<l'beMi  goin|  elsewhere; 
111  temper,  ani4  PA^UW>  ana  pride, 
Have  griev'd  W.V  «l»'*r  parents,  and  thee; 
And  Helilom  I've  heartily  try'd 
ObeAent  and,  gentle  to  be  t 

But  Lord,  thou  already  hast  known 

Much  more  of  my  folly  than  I ; 
There  is  not  a  fault  I  can  own. 

Too  littU-  for  God  to  descry  ;  * 
Yet  hear  me,  and  help  me  to  feel 

How  wicJted  »nd  weak  1  must  be  ; 
And  tet  me  not  try  to  conceal 

The  largest  or  smallest  from  thee. 

This  year  is  just  going  away, 

The  moments  are  finishing  fast; 
Look  down  in  thy  mercy,  I  pray. 

To  pardon  the  time  that  is  past : 
And  as  soon  as  another  begins. 

So  help  me  to  walk  in  thy  fear, 
Tliat  I  may  not  with  follies  and  sins 

Disfigure  and  waste  a  new  year. 

Shortness  of  Life- 
How  short  is  the  life  of  a  man  ! 

How  soon  his  frail  life  must  decay  ! 
At  best  bat  the  length  of  a  span. 

And  fades  like  a  sbert  winter's  day. 

In  youth  how  forgetful  he  seems 
Of  age,  that's  still  hurrying  on  ; 

At  length  he  awakes  from  his  dreams, 
But  ah !  his  best  moments  are  gooe  I 


\       C>  lUU 


Then,  horry'd  away  with  his  cares. 
His  life  is  but  labour  and  pain  ; 

Old  age  is  the  garment  he  wears  ; 
He  wished  for  youth,  but  in  vain. 

Now,  crush'd  with  the  load  of  his  sin. 
He  trembles  at  death's  cold  alarms, 

But  just  recdUects  where  he's  been, 
And  yields  to  the  conqueror's  arms. 

But  reason  no  farther  can  go, — 
He  stands  at  the  bar  of  his  O  d  : 

Xow  be  sinks  to  the  regions  of  woe, 
Or  heaven  be  makes  his  abode  : 

Let  youth,  th^D  no  longer  d^lay, 
Since  time  makes  so  rapid  a  flight ; 

If  you  work  while  it's  called  day. 
You  may  bail  the  approach  of  to-nigh 


a  moment,  and  the  next  we  are  beyond 
their  reachi  Such  is  life;  neither  its 
pleasures  nor  its  pains  are  durable,  nor 
does  fhc  road  we  traverse  belong  to  us, 
any  more  than  any  of  the  objects  with 
whkh  it  is  diversified :  other  travellers 
have  preceded  us  on  it,  coming  along  !t

The  pious  Chllds'  oonilMsion  for  the 
New  Year. 

This  year  is  just  going  away, 

■yho  moments  are  finishing  fast ; 
^fy  heart,  have  you  nothing  to  say. 

Concerning  the  time  that  is  past  ] 
Now,  while  in  my  chamber  alone, 

Where  God  will  be  present  to  hear, 
I  '11  try  to  remember  and  own 

TTie  faults  I  've  committed  this  year. 

0  Lord,  I  'in  asham'd  to  confess 
How  often  I  'va  broken  thy  day ; 

Prt'haps  I  have  thought  of  my  dress. 
Or  wasted  the  moments  in  play  ; 

And  wben^he  tfodd  teachers  try'd 
To  make  litUe  children  attend, 

1  was  thinking  of  something  beside, 
Or  wishiijlftke  lessons  would  end; 


Refleotions  for  the  New  Year 
LjL  Q  cLaa'  Human  Life. 

Human  life  is  a  journey  which  com- 
mences for  each  offiB  the  moment  we  en- 
ter the  world,  and  which  terminates  at 
the  grave.  We  are  like  passengers  on 
the  ocean  wafled  by  thewinds  toward  the 
port  while  they  are  asleep  in  the  vessel; 
and  who,  insensible  of  the  progress  of 
their  course,  arrive  at  their  destination 
before  they  are  aware.  It  is  the  same 
with  the  whole  of  life.  It  runs  6n,rmpel- 
led  by  a  continual  currwit,  which  carries 
us  unconsciously  along  witli  it. 

WesUwp,  and  time  flies  silently  over  our 
heads :  we  wake  to  a  thousand  cares,  and 
while  struggling  with  them,  life  pursues 
itvS  rapid  course  at  the  same  rate.  We 
are,  here  below,  only  as  travellers ;  every 
thing  rapidly  recedes  from  our  view,  we 
leave  every  thing  behind  us ;  we  throw  a 
passing  glance  on  the  enamelled  meads, 
at  the  purling  brook,  or  whatever  other 
object  may  charm  our  sight ;  we  feel  a 
pleasruo  in  contemplating  it,  and  before 
wo  can  analyse  our  pleasure  we  have  al- 
ready lost  sight  of  it.  To  charming  pro- 
spectes  aad  a  smiling  country  often  suc- 
ceed rocks,  ravines,  precipices,  and  rug- 
ged paths ;  sometimes  infested  with  fero- 
ctous  animals,  or  venemous  reptiles  ;  or 
pcrple.\ed  with  thorns  which  lacerate  the 
flesh  ;  these  things  annoy  or  afflict  us  for 


There  are  none,  who  have  paid,  eyen.^ 
superfict^J  attention  to  the  process  of  th(^' 
perceptions,  who  are  not  conscious  thaf  a 
prolific  80u>tpe  of  intellectual  pleasureaAnd 
pains,  is  fouir^d  in  our  fatmlty  of  associa- 
ting ^e  remeSnbranoe  of  character  and 
efvents,  which  m,ve  most  intercstild  our 
uflTections  and  pdesions,  with  tfcfe  spot 
whereon  the  formeit  have  lived, /and  the 
latter  have  oocurreA  It  is  to,€he  magic 
of  this  local  influeuoe,\hat  we  ye  indebted 
for  the  charm  which  X?call^  the  sports 
and  pastimes  of  our  ohilahooA  the  joyous 
days  of  youth,  when  buoy«M  spirits  inves- 
ted all  surrounding  objectS(\ith  the  color 
of  the  rose. 

It  is  this,  which  bringa/Tiefoi^  us,  as  we 
look  back  through  the  vjftta  of  riW  years, 
past  enjoyments  and  mflictions,  i^piring 
hopes  and  bitter  disappointment  the 
temptations  we  hav*  encountered^.  the 
snares\which  have  ehtangled  us,  the  dan- 
gers we  have  e8capef,^e  fidelity  or  treaflj- 
ery  of  friends.  ly  is  this,  whit*  enabies 
us' to  surroimd  ou/selves  with  die  images 
of  those,  who  wene  associates  m  the  scenes 
we  contemplate.'  and  to  hold  sweet  con- 
verse with  the/ spirits  of  the  departed, 
whom  we  hav^  loved  or  honored  in  the 
places  which  y&hall  know  thetn  no  more. 
Bill  the  patency  of  these  local  associa 
tions,  is  noy  limited  to  the  sphere  of  our 
personal  exi/erience.  We  are  qualified  by 
it  to  derive  gratification  from  what  we 
have  heai'fl  and  read  of  other  times,  to 
bring  fortl  forgotten  treasures  frtmi  the 
recesses  of^rooraory,  and  recreate  fimcy  in 
tha  fields  of  imagination.  The  regions 
which  have  been  famed  in  sacred  and  fab- 
ulous history;  the  mountains  plains,  isles, 
rivers,  celebrated  in  the  classic  page;  the 
si-as,  traversed  by  the  discoverers  of  new 
worlds  ;  the  fields,  in  which  empires  have 
been  lost  and  won, — are  scenes  of  enchant- 
ment for  the. visitor,  who  indulges  the 
trains  of  perception  w^ich  eithe^  rush 
unbidden  on  his  mind,  or  are  courted  by 
its  voluntary  efforts.  This  faculty  it  is, 
'which,  united  with  a  disposition  to  use  it 
to  advantage,  alone  gives  dignity  to  the 
passion  for  visiting  foreign  countries ;  and 
distinguishes  the  philosopher,  who  moral- 
izes on  the  turf  that  covers  the  moulder- 
ing dust  of  ambition,  valor  or  patriotism, 
from  the  fashionable  vagabond,  who  flut- 
ters among  the  flowers,  which  bloom  over 
their  graves. 

Among  all  the  objects  of  mental  asso- 
ciation, ancient  buildings  and  ruins  Mfect 
us  with  the  most  deep  and  vivid  emotions. 
They  were  the  works  of  beings  like  our- 
selves. While  a  ijciist,  impervious  /to 
mortal  view,  hangs  over  the  future,  all 
our  fond  imaginings  of  the  things,  which 
"  eye  hath  not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,"  in  the 
eternity  to  come,  are  inevitably  associa- 
ted with  the  men,  the  events  and  things, 
which  have  gone  to  join  the  eternity  that 
is  past. 

When  imagination  has  in  vain  essayed 
■  to  rise  beyond  the  stars,  which  "proclam 
the  story  of  their  birth,"  inquisitive  to 
know  the  occupations  and  condition  ofthe 
sages  and  heroes,  whom  we  hope  to  join 
in  a  higher  empyrean,  she  droops  her 
weary  wing,  and  is  compelled  to  alight 
among  the  fragments  of  "gorgeos  palaces 
and  oTotid-capped  towers,"  which  cover 
their  human  ruins,  and,  by  aid  of  these  lo- 
calities, to  ruminate  upon  their  virtues 
and  their  faults,  on  their  deeds  in  the  cab- 
inet and  in  the  field,  and  upon  the  revolu- 
tions of  the  successive  ages  in  which  they 
lived.     To  this  propensity  may  be  traced 


the  sublimated  feelingh  of  th*  man,  w«^ 
familiar  with  the  stories  of  Sesostris,  the 
Pharm)h8  and  the  Ptolenii<«;  ^wrvtys  the

kings,  and  ofthe  debasement  and  oppres-

HANNAH, 


COKSECRATINO     HER      INFANT  SON     SAMUEL. 


Betore  the  altar  of  the  Lord,  in  Shiloh's  holy  fane, 

With  offerings  for  the  sacrifice,  from  Ramah's  fruitful  plain, 

A  meek  and  pious  Mother  came,  with  her  first  and  darling  child, 

And  thus  addressed  the  aged  Priest,  in   accents  sweet  and  mild. 

"  O,  venerable  man  of  Ggd! — sage  counsellor  and  guide — 

Thine  handmaid  is  indeed  the  one  who  knelt  here  by  thy  side 

In  bitterness  of  spirit — in  silence  and  despair, — 

And  breathed  before  this  sacred  shrine,  a  fervent  heartfelt  prayer; 

She  breathed  an  humble  prayer  to  him,  who  rules  the  earth  and  skies, 

And  pledged  a  solemn  vow,  upon  this  place  of  sacrifice — 

That  if  the  God  of  Israel's  hosts   vouchsafed  her  a  dear  child. 

To  consecrate  him  to  the  Lord — ^young,  pure  {ud  undefiled." 

The  Lord  is  bountiful  and  great,  and  blessed  is  his  name, 
He  lifteh  up  the  lowly  heart,  and  brings  the  proud  to  shame. 
The  Lord  is  our  salvation,  our  strength,  our  rock,  our  stay. 
The  sorrowful,  he  maketh  glad,  and  wipes  their  tears  away. 
My  supplications  have  prevailed — the  Lord  received  my  vo\|^ 
And  now  come,  before  his  throne,  in  grattitudo  to  bow, 
Within  this  holy  Temple — and.   with  thankfulness  and  joy, 
I  give  the  service  of  the  Lord,  my  young  and  spotless  boy.

Adam,  the  man:  When  Ihe  Most  High  his  lofty  career,  and  beginn eth  his  day's 
formed  tJiee  of  the  dust'  and  breathed  into  task.  He  f  werveih  neither  to  the  right 
thee  the  breath  of  life,  thou   didst  raise  nor  to  €he  i^ft ;  but  pursueth  his  way  dif- 


The  Cherub  spake,  and  the  son  of  th« 
dust  bowed  down  before  him,  and  was 
silent.  X 

Then  did  the  lovely  mother  of  allliving 
stop  forth  before  the  celestial  minister. 
Ah!  thou  holy  one  sjiid  she,  with  harmo- 
nious voice,  bestow  oii  n\o  too  ji  word  of 
comfort  and  instruction!  How  should

tv  :iii'(fbfflmarif  '"•],  ,if  iliiy,  and  tn  walk 
in  his  track? 

Thus  prayed  Eve,  and  the  Cherub  took 
pity  on  the  weakness  of  tiie  woman,  and 
said  with  smiling  countenance :  "When 
the  Most  Merciful  formed  thee,  and  in  the 
brightness  of  the  evening-red  breathed  the 
breath  of  life  into  thy  bosom,  thou  didst 
not  look  up  towards  heaven,  Init  thine 
eye  rested  on  the  flowers  cf  Eden,  and  on 
the  fragrant  shrubs,  and  the  trees  laden 
with  fruit  of  the  delicious  garden,  and  on 
the  stream  that  runs  mnrinuring  through 
it.  Be  then  thy  walk  like  the  silent  oour-e 
of  the  maternal  earth.  Without  noise 
and  without  dazzlmg  spiendour,  she  bring- 
eth  forth  of  her  abundance  herbage,  and 
plants,  and  trees,  springs  anb  streams. 
Silently  and  imperceptibly  she  reareth  up 
her  children  in  her  bosom  to  blossom  and 
bear  fruit :  and  her  own  productions  are 
her  fairest  ornament  Take  her,  tender 
woman,  for  the  pattern  of  thy  course  on 
earth.  And  be  your  union  as  man  and 
wife,  said  the  Cherub,  harmonious  as  the 
Union  of  the  celestial  spl^jres  ! 

Thus  spake  the  Cherub.  And  a  gentle 
rustling  arose  in  the  garden,  and  the  spirit 
of  the  Lord  was  in  the  rustling,  and  pro- 
duced the  words  of  the  Cherub. 

But  Adam  add  Eve,  his  wife,  fell  upon 
their  faces  and  worshipped,  and  Eve  trem 
bled  exceedingly  and  wept.

been  removed,  and  instead  of  it  a  neat  reading

Vii.vNA.— The  Prussian  Consul,  Mr.  M. 
Goldschmied,  donated  5,000  florins  to  some 
charitable  iostitution,  (not  yet  specified),  on 
the  occasion  of  the  25th  anniversary  of  his 
wedding  day.  Mr.  Deutcb,  director  of  the 
Deaf  and  Dumb  School,  received  lately,  laud- 
atory acknowledgments  from  the  Ministry  of 
th9  Board  of  Instruction,  for  his  services,  ren- 
dered tathe  Institute. 

We  have  also  to  report  the  demise  of  Mr. 
Fischhof,  professor  of  the  Musical  Conserva- 
tory of  Vienna. 

Complaint*!  reach  m    from  head-quarters, 
that  affluent  Jews  have  contributed  lately  so 
lavishly  to  the  erection  and  repairs  of  churches, 
while  they  neglect  to  do  so  for  their  own  in- 
^stitutions.     Such  acts  of  inflated  ostentation 
j,    "loservedly  meet  the  contempt  and  reprobation 
of  better  minded  men,  for  such  a  way  of  giv- 
ing is  anti-Jewish,  as  well  as  anti-Ohristian. 
The  Christiah  codei  in  enjoining  love  and  char- 
ity to  all  men,  commands  expressly  to  render 
aseistance   to  their  own  household  and  faith, 
first.— As  we  have,  therefore,  opportunities, 
let  us  do  good  unto  all  (men) ;  eepecially  unto 
thoee  who  are  of  the  household  of  faith,  it 
sayt    Gal.  6:10.    And  indeed,  it  is   in  this 
manner  only,  that  all  could  succeed,   for  that 
.   house  must  fall  in  which  the  members,  instead

"  And,"  remarks  the  editor  of  the  Z.  D.  J.> 
I  if  we  suppose  three  deaths  for  every  one 
•hundred,  this  would  give  a  total  Jewish  popn- 
latioa  of  i7,6ob,  of  which  London  contains 
Ikbout  14,000,  which  is  beneath  the  actual  num- 
ber. 

Sapoooe,  Brothers,  of  Bombay,  have  offered 
the  Indian  government  the  sum  of  30000  ru- 
pees toward  the  foundation  of  a  mercantile 
school,  on  condition  that  such  be  closed  on 
Saturday's  and  Sunday'^  and  that  it  bear  their 
name.  This  snm  and  conditions  were  accepted 


Bohemia.— ylgain  we  hear  from  Bohemia, 
(thid  makes  the  third  instance) ,  of  narrow  mind- 
ed, petty  oflScials,  who  try  to  govern  the  Jews- 
by  laws  enacted  during  the  darkest  ages,  and 
disregarded  from  time  out  of  memory.    An  of 
ficial  of  the  Leitmeritz  circuit  of  this  stamp 
prohibited,  lately,  the  Jews  keeping  Christian 
servants  in  their  employ.    Appeal   was  made 
to  higher  authorities,  and  no  doubt  the  absurd 
attempt  which,  if  univlrsally  practised,  would 
throw  thousands  of  hands  out  of  employ,  will 
meet  with  due  rebuke  from  the  proper  quarter. 
Goldsmith  was  quite  correct,  when  he,  in  his 
"  Vicar  of  Wakefield,"  maintains  that  it  is 
preferable  to  live  under  one  great  tyrant  than 
to  be  chafed  by  a  number  of  duodecimo  ones. 
Nothing  is  more  gallii||,  in  Church  and  State, 
than  the  overbearings  of  contemptible  petty 
tyrants ;  particularly  if  the  latter  have  been 
raised  by  ignorance  or  curruption   from  the 
dregs  of  infimi  picbis,  above  the  shoulders  of 
a  stupid  or  reckless  race.     Such  contemptible 
parvenues  can  bear  nothing  superior  to  them- 
selves near  them,  and  will  make  themselves 
felt  in  every  instance,  where  chance  or  cir- 
cumstances allow  them  to  cast  themrelvea,  like 
au  incubus,  upon  the  corrnpt  body  they  mis- 
rule. 

London,  June.— We  take  the  following  in- 
teresting statistics  from  the  Jewish  Chronule]: 
Among  the  members  of  thirty-five  Synagogues, 
there  occurred  205  births :  of  which  111  are 
hose  of    boys,  and  94  girls :  112  deaths,  of 


WB  in  India. 

Oontinn«d  from  Gleaner  Nos  11,  IS,  18, 
W«  are  indebted  for  the  following  intereating 
a«oount  to  Browolee'e  History  of  the  Jews. 

There  are  a  goood  many  Jews  at  Bom- 
bay, and  some  of  them  are  very  rich. 
The  late  Mrs.  Wilson,  of   the  Scottish 
mission  thcrp,   describes  some  whom  she 
visited  as  "living  in  a  style  of  Oriental 
magnificence,  which   we  rarely  see,  even 
among  the  richest  natives  of  India."    But 
the  most  interesting  part  of  the  Hebrew 
population  is  the  Beni-Isracl,  supposed  by 
some  to  be  the  descendants  of  the   ten 
tfA^K^The  most  recent  and  copious  ac- 
coimSf  this  remarkable  people  is  given 
by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Wilson  of  Bombay,  who 
has  paid  great  attention  to  their  condition. 
According  to  his  statement,   they  are  to 
be  found,  not  merely  on  the  island  of  Bom- 
bay, but  in  various  adjoining  districts  of 
the  continent  of  India.     Their  numbers 
are  generally  reckoned  at  ^000,  but  Dr, 
W.,  from  a  census  made  uuder  his  own 
direction,  estimates  them  to  amount  to 
5,255.      They   have    no  historical  docu 
ments  ;  and  their  traditions,  us  might  be 
anticipated,  are  very  vague  and  unsatis 
factory.     They  state  that  their  ancestf>rs 
came  from  a  country  to  the  northward, 
about  1600  years  ago  ;    and   consisted  of 
seven  men  and    as  many  women,  who 
were  saved  from  a  watery  grave,  upon  the 
occasion  of  a  shipwreck,  which  occurred 
near    Chaul,  about  thirty    miles  to    the 
southeast  of  Bombay.     They  dislike  the 
name  Jews  •*  and,  though  they  have  many 
Hebrew  names  among  them,  those  of  Ju- 
dah,  and  Esther  (the  favorite  Jewish  fe- 
male name)  do  not  occur.     Besides  their 
Hebrew  names,  they  have  in  general  an- 
other, which  has  been  adopted  in  defer- 
ence to  Hindoo  custom.     Some  of  their 
appellations  of  the  latter  description  cor- 
respond  with  those  of  the  Indian  Gods. 
The  Hebrew  namce  aregiven  on  the  eight 
day,  and  the  Hindoo  ones  about  a  month 
after  birth.     The  vernacular  language  of 
the  Beni-Israel  is   Maratti  or  Mahratta ; 
but  a  few  of  them  are  able  to  converse 
in    Gujaratti   and^Hindoostani.      Their 
houses  do  not  diner  from  those  of  other 
natives  of  the  same  rank.     Like  the  re«t 
of  the  Jews,  they  do  not  eat  with  persons 
belonging  to  other  communities;  but  do 
not  object  to  drink  out  of  vessels  belong- 
ing to  Christianns,  Mohammedans,  or  Hin- 
doos. Those  resident  in  the  Konkan*gen- 
erelly  occupy  themselves  in  agiJculture 
or  in  manufacturing  oil ;    from  the  latter 
employment  they  receive  the  name  of /«//» 
or  oilmen.     Those  who  live  in  Bombay, 
with  the  exception  of  a  few  shopjceeprs,  J 


•re  artisans,  particularly  nuMous  and  oar- 
pealHi;    #  few  are   Moksmiths,    gold 
smithsi^  and  tailors.      Shoemakers  m^ 
barbers  are  unknown  among  them.      In 
most  of  the    regiments  of  native  infan- 
try  in   the  Bombay  Presidency,  some  of 
^e   Beni-Israel  are  to  be  foimd,  and  few 
of  them'  retire  from  the  service  without 
attaining  the  rank  of  offlcej^s^     There  are 
not  many  of  them  who  are  in  possession 
of  much  property.      David  "Captain," 
their  ^ukadam,  or  headman  in  Bombay, 
is  believed  to  be  worth  one  or  two  lacs* 
of  rupees.      Like   the  Parsees,*  they  do 
not  tolerate  begging  beyond  their  own 
community.     The  needy  are  relieved  by 
private  benevolence,  or  from  the  funds  of 
the  Masjid^  or  synagogue,  which  are  deri- 
ved from  fmes  and  offerings.  All  questions 
relating  to  the  religious  discipline  of  this 
singular  people,  are  dibided  in  a  meeting 
of  the  adult  members  of  the  community 
in  each  villaga,  by  their  Mukadam,  who 
has  a  kind  of  magisterial  authority  ;  and 
the  Kazi,  who  has  the  direction  of  eccle- 
siastical   matters,  acd    conducts    public 
worship.      These  two  persons  have  gen- 
erally the  assistance  ot  four  chogale,or  eU 
ders,  in  the  superintendence  which  they 
maintain,  and  the  sentences  which  pro- 
nounce.    In  the  adminsitraCion  of  justice, 

truth,  by  their  regard  to  the  Torah,  or  law; 
but  they  rarely  exact  from  them  a  formal 
oath. 

The  Beni-Israel  all  profsss  to  worship 
the  only  one  God  (Jehovah  ;)   but  many 
of  them,  till  lately,   paid,   and  some  even 
yet,  pay  secret  adoration  to  the  Hindoo 
deities,  especially  to  those  of  a  malevolent 
character.      We  may  see  in  this  the  ful- 
filment of  the  prophecy  in  Deuteronomy 
xxviii.  64; — "Thou  shalt  serve  other  gods, 
which  neither  thou  nor  thy  fathers  have 
known,  even  wood  and   stone."  *  They 
have  not  in  their  synagogues  manuscript 
copies  of  the  law,  like  the  Jews ;  but  they 
acknowledge  the  divine  authority  of  all 
the  books  received  by  the  rest  of  the  Jews. 
Yet  it  is  only  lately  that  they  have  be 
come  acquainted  with  all  the  names  of 
the  inspired  Hebrew  writers  ;   nor  was  it 
without  hesitation  that  they  agreed  to  own 
as  sacred  the  works  of  the  latter  prophets, 
which  is  an  additional  argument  in  favor 
of  the  supposition  of  their  being  the  de- 
scendents   of  the   ten  tribes   who    were 
expelled  before  the  rise  of  the  latter  pro- 
phets. The  Pentateuch  forms  the  standard 
of  their  religious  law  ;  but  it  is  only  par- 
tially rcgai-ded  in  practice.  ~    Parchments 
on  which  are  inscribed  passages  of  Scrip- 
ture, arc  worn  by  them  on  various  parts 
of  their  bodies. 

Among  this  people  circumcision  is 
practised  on  the  eighth  day,  as  enjoined 
by  the  law  of  Moses  ;  on  this  occasion 
the  Kazi  officiates,  and  pronounces  the 
words,  "Blessed  be  thou,  O  (Jehovah,) 
our  God,  the  universal  King,  who  sanc- 
tifies us  by  his  commandments,  and  or- 
dains to  us    concerning  circumciscion."

ON  MEIGGS'  WHAEF 

The  firit  and  only  Sea  Bathing  eatabliehmeni 
on  the  Pacific  Ocean,  where  every  convenience 
is  found  in  the  latest  style,  for  the  acoommo- 
dation  of  bathers  and  invalids. 

There  is  also  attached  a  Wkrm  Sea  Bath  for 
Ladies  of  the  Hebrew  faith,  where  they  can 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  which  it 
connected  with  the  sea. 

This  institution  has  now  been  in  operation 
one  year,  and  it  has  rot  only  satisfied  the  ei. 
peotations  of  the  public,  but  has  far  exceeded 
the  anticipations  of  the  proprietor.  The  throng 
of  suflerers  and  bathers  has  increased  dailj, 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  facilities  have 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  im- 

Cortant  improvements  have  been  made.  Each 
ather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  can  be 
properly  cooled  and  rested. 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  palliative, 
but  a  positive  remedy.  It  takes  the  disease  at 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hun- 
dreds of  patients  who  have  used  these  bath* 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  been 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  baffled  all 
other  remedies,  have  been  cured  by  the  use  jo 
these  baths  in  a  short  time. 

Every  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  by  these 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  then: 
here. 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  Establish- 
ment is  a  HOTEL,  containing  a  great  many 
rooms  elegantly  fitted  up  for  patitnts  and  bath^ 
ers,  and  where  they  can  lodge  and  receive 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  Merchants  and 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  for 
business  or  on  account  of  sickness,  should  not 
fail  to  go  to  tha 

Sea  Bath   Hotel, 


*A  Lao  is  one  hundred  Thousand  rupees. 
One  rupee  is  worth  about  46  cents.  Two  lacs 
in  a  country  where  a  laborer  earns  about  two 
cents  a  day,  is  a  considerable  amount. 

A  name  given  to  the  Persian  firesworBhip» 
ers  living  in  India.  In  Persia,  they  are  called, 
by  the  Mohammedans,  Guidkb-,  or  Guicbrm, 
(i.  e.,  giaonrs,  infidels.  Their  sacred  books 
are  called  the  Zend-Avesta.  The  Parsees,  who 
reside  near  Snrat  and  Bombay,  are  an  honest, 
thrifty  people,  and  number  about  7000,000. 
(to  be  continued) 


Before  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  the  maay 
quacks  thatabound  in  San  Francisco. 

Ladies  and  Oentlemen  patronizing  my  estab* 
lishment  will  find  neatly  furnished  parlorB, 
where  every  attention  will  be  paid  ;  and  to 
bathers  the  utmost  care  will  be  rendered  by 
polite  female  and  male  servants.  These  bathe, 
in  connection  with  the  Sea-Water  Douche  will 
perfarm  Wonders;  and  ae  the  priee  for  their 
use,  and  lodgings  at  the  hotel,  is  only  from 
$2  60  to  $6  per  day,  its  benefits  and  blessings 
are  alike  accessible  to  the  poor  aa  well  as  the 
rich. 

To  convince  the  people  of  California  that 
there  is  no  humbnggery  about  the  institution, 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  thanks  that 
have  been  sent  to  me : 

San  Fhanoboo.  10th  Nov.  1866. 
I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  aflSicted  for 
many  months  \»ith  severe    bodily  pains,  from 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  night.    I 
consulted  several  eminent   physicians  in  this 
city,  bnt  none  could  help  me.     I   lost  all  my 
fiesb,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.    My  husband 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  roe  on   to   New 
York  to  try  a  cure,    in  this  perplexity,  I  called 
on  Dr.  Bruns,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi- 
cine four  times,  and  try  the  sea  baths,  which 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.    I  thank 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  me  to  Dr.  Bruns, 
under  whose  care  I  became  healthy  and  strong. 
T  consider  it  my   duty   thus   publicly  to  mske 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  sufferers  know  that 
Dr.   Bruns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  their 
bodily  pain  and  to  reatore  them  to  health. 
MRS.  GROSSMAN.

t3^  Every  three  minutes  the  omnibuses  ar- 
rive at  the  establishment,  from  the  centre  and 
from  the  extreme  part  of  the  city.

(Communication.) 
Hev.  Sir 

Kmboldened  by  the  known  interest  yon 
take  in  the  advocacy  of  our  holy  religion,  and 
the  Htrennoiis  efforta  you  manifeat.to  instruct  our 
people,  how  to  oonform.to  thd  commandments  of 
the  ancient  law  with  tba  raqairemants  of  tbo 
present  time,  must  be  roy  apology,  for  the 
trouble,  the  following  queries,  may  give  you. 

I  therefore  beg  to  ask   for  your  opinion  on 
the  following  subjects  : 

Is  voting  by  congregations,  on  religious  sub- 
jects, a  vested  right  by  the  mosaic  or  rabbi- 
nical law  ;  or  is  it  a  modern  usurped  authority; 
This  query  is  pressed  upon  me  by  the  fact 
that  a  Congregation  in  the  Interior  of  this 
State  is  in  trouble,  from  the  following  case. 
Vn  Israelite  married  a  woman  of  the  christian 
Vtiib,  the  eermony  was  performed  in  a  Roman 
C^af.holic.  Church,  the  issue  of  this  union,  a  boy, 
W8!  not  initiated  into  the  convent  of  Abraham 
Tic  mifti  died  some  two  years  ago,  and  was  in- 
tjrred  in  the  city  cemetry.    At  this  late  day, 
a  relative  of  the  deceased,  demands  urgently, 
a  removal  of  the  remains  to   the    Israelitish, 
burial  ground,  where  they  in  accordance  with 
nr  ancient  and  solemn  ritee.    Is  the  congre- 
gation boand  to  comply  with  the  demands  of 
the  claimant,  or  can   it  consistently  with  our 
faith,  be  refused ;  as  many  believe,  that  the  de- 
ceased had  forfeited  the  right  of  d^ing  consid- 
ered an  Israelite. 

There  have  been  some  very  hot  disdussions 
on  the  subject ;  of  party-spirit,  with  its  bane- 
ftil  influence,  threatens  to  divide  the  camp,  and 
we  learn  that  the  matter  is  to  be  decided  by  a 
vote. 

Is  this  the  proper  mode  of  proceeding  in 
such  cases,  and  what  are  the  Jewish  regula 
tions  on  the  subject  t 

By  elucidating  the  above  questions,  Rev. 
Sir,  you  may  be  able  to  pacify  the  hearts  of 
many  Israelites,  restore  the  disturbed  harmony 
of  that  congregation,  and  oblige  many  friends 
here. 

With  the  highest  respeot  and  greatest  con- 
siderations. 

1  have  the  honor,  to  remain 

Your  respectfully 

very  obedient  servant 
M.  0.

government,  we  sh^l,  for  want  of  tinae 
and  space  defer  this  interesting  topic  to 
several  early  numbers  of  the  Gleaner. 

We  only  premise  that    there  exists  no 
church  where  upligious  questions  are  de- 
cided by  votes.     The  church  a  is  union  of 
individuals  for  the  purpose  of  maintaining, 
supporting,  and  submitting  themselves  to 
certain   religious  ordinances  and   regula- 
tions.    These  regulations  are    anterior  to 
the  church  and  independent  of  the  Church 
members  :   the  church  law  exists  though 
there  may  nowhere  exist  a  church  member; 
but  wo   never  can  imagine   church  mem- 
bers without  church  law.     As  long  as  the 
members  submit  themselves  to  the  laws  of 
the  church,    they  are    church  members, 
and  their   institution  is  a  church.     But  if 
they,   instead  of  obeying  the  laws  set  up 
their  own  will,   the  cstjiblisluiient'is  then 
ruled  by  self-will  and , as  such,  can  no  more 
be  c(jnsiidered  a  religious  communion  or 
Snp  _fo r   selfwill ^  in   religious    naatters^^ 
.equate  to  rebellion,  because  religion 
ids  selfdenial.     And,  Jis  in  the  po 
litical   stati!  a   coiiinibination   of  citizens 
wht>,   instead  of  adopting  the  laws  of  the 
respective   state,  would   in  their  decision 
ignore  those  laws,  and   constitute   them- 
selves not  only  judges  but  even  legislatf>rs 
(and  every  voter  iigainst  the  law  is  a  leg- 
islat<jr)  as  such  citizens    would  at  once, 
knowingly   ignorantly,  lapse  into  a  state 
of  rebellion,  so  in   the  .church,  and  much 
more   so  there  those   members  who   will 
intrude  their  will  in  stead  of  law,  are  in  a 
state  of  defection.     Voting  is  giving  ones 
opinion,     and  as  one  man's  opinion  does 
not   stamp  that  opinion  correct,  just,  or 
religious,  if  in  itseff  false  or  unjust,   the 
multiplication  of  this  opinion  can  never 
niivke  it  right   or  religious  ;  for  a   \VTong 
multiplied  a  thousand  times  does  not  give 
a  facit  of  right. 

It  is  thus  with  votes.  The  opinion  of 
one  man  born  of  parents  belonging  to  a 
certam  denomination,  does  not  make  that 
opinion  religious,  nor  does  the  multiplicor 
tion  of  this  opinion  if  increjised  to  a  thou- 
sand or  a  miliion,  by  joining  so  many 
head^  at  all  change  its  quality,  add  to 
the  weight,  or  give  more  value  to  the  same 
Quite  on  the  contrary  the  greater  the 
number  of  adherent,the  less  the  qualitative 
worth  of  an  opinion  in  difficult  questions 
of  morality  and  logic  as  is  fully  proved  by 
the  history  of  all  religions  and  all  systems 
of  philosphy .  Paradocical  as  this  may  ap- 
pear, it  will  not  be  hard  to  prove  it  in  the 
■equel.  ' 

"We  therefoe  hear  of  no  religion  which 


pleasure,  or  views  fr j;  j  which  yon  idolize. 
And  in  another  place  it  says  :  "Thou 
shall  not  decide  in  a  cause  to  choose,  to 
mind,n03  to'choose  ('Chronic-21 :  IO)*af- 
ter  or^with  the-majority  multitude  (o'ai) 
to  pervert.  Exodus  23  :  2  ;  And  last- 
ly, the  book  of  Proverbs,  founded  on  the 
exj)erience  of  divine  wisdom,  utters  its  aw- 
ful doom  on  those  institutions  where  the

"  On  account  of  [or  during]  rebellion 
in  the  land,  the  multitude  are  her  rulers; 
but  by  a  man  of  intelligence  and  Know- 
ledge, the  state  [hereof]  ff 3  right,  basis,; 
shall  be  prolonged. 

The  correctness  of  this  view  needs  no 
farther  illustration.  Three  men  of  strictly 
moral  principles,  clear  intellect,  and  an 
acquaintance  with  the  subject  of  decision, 
are  surely  more  likely  to  be  correct  than 
a  permiscous  multitude  among  whom  ig- 
norance, bias,  and  want  of  principle  com- 
bined, must  certainly  drown  the  small  num- 
ber of  honest  and  intelligent  men. 

Besides  to  what  dissensions  and  divis- 
ions must  it  come,  if  every  question,  in- 
stead of   being  referred   to  settled  laws 
and  principles,  be  thrown  as  an  apple  of 
dissension  among  a  number  of  men  among 
whom"  the  good  and  the   intelligent  are 
but  the  few.     Such  a  proceding  in  the 
state,   would    be  considered   most  disas- 
trous.      "What  would  be  the  consequence 
if  the  citizens,  instead  of  establishing  laws, 
and  judges,  would,  on  questions  of  right 
and  wrong,  of  punishment  and   reward, 
recur  to  votes  instead  of  an  appeal  to  law 
and  justice  ? 

"Would  not  this  Isad  to  inevitable  ruin 
of  all  political  existence  7  And  to  such  an 
issue  it  must  come  with  religious  institutions, 
if  the  principle  be  admitted  on  religions  ques- 
tions, as  we  shall  fully  illustrate  at  some  other 
time  by  facts  drawn  from  prafane  and  sacred 
history. 

It  is,  therefore,  that  the  Mosaic^  Law,  and 
common  sense  dictate  the  necessity  of  estab- 
lishing properly  qualified  men,  to  decide  by 
law,  between  right  and  wroig,  and  between 
good  and  evil.

To  the  mind  of  a  Hindu,  whatever  ji 
enstomary  is  proper  ;  for  he  believes  that 


the  castoms  of  his  forefathers,  civil,  social, 
aad  religious,  were  instituted  by  the  Gods, 
and  a''e   therefore  incapable  of  improve- 
ment.    The  eflfect  of  this  belief  is  to  keep 
everything  stationary.    There  is  no  pro 
gress  in  knowledge — no  change  for  the 
better  in  any  department  in  life.     The 
fashion  of  dress,  the  form  of  agricultural 
and  mechanical   instruments,  the   mantier 
of  erecting   habitations,  and  the  perfor- 
mance of  various  kinds  of  labor,  are  the 
same  as  they  were  thousands  of  years  ago. 
This  fact  may  be  illustrated  by  an  anet. 
dote.     An  Euglish  gentleman  devised  va- 
rious plans  of  introducing  improvements ; 
among  others,  he   wished  to  substitute 
wheelbarrows  for  the  baskets  in  which  the 
natives  carry  burdens  on  their  heads.    He 
caused  several  of  these  useful  articles  to 
be  constructed,  and  labored  with  much 
assiduity  to  introduce  them  among  his 
workmen.      In  his  presence,  they  used 
them  with  apparent  cheerfulness,  and  even 
admitted  that  they  were  far  preferable  to 
the  baskets.     The  gentleman  was  delight- 
ed  with  his  success-     On  ^ne  occasion, 
however,  having  been  absent  a  few  hours, 
on  returning  somewhat  unexpMjctedly,  be 
was  surprised  to  find  all  his  laborers  carry- 
ing the  wheelbaarrows  filled  with  earthen 
their  heads.

The  queries  of  the  above  communication 
resolve  thcmselfs  into  two  seperata  heads 
treating  :

**^'  termination,  resolution,   nor    aftar  your 


teaches' vote  or  do  not  vote"  ;  but  all 
teach  submit  (jonr  own  willj  and  obey. 
And  as  to  our  code,  it  expressly  says,  and 
we  are  commanded  to  repeat  this  saying 
twice  every  day  :  "And  ye  shalf  mind, 
remember[om3n]all  the  laws  ('or  command 
ments  n)^n)  and  ye  shall  execute  them  ; 


16, 18. 

And  again  : 
ntnn  ^Hii)  "  Moreover  thou  shalt  pro- 
vide out  of  all  the  people,  able  men,  such  as 
fear  God,  men  of  truth,  hating  covetousness  ; 
and  place  such  over  them,  to  he  rulers  of  thou- 
sands, and  rulers  of  hundreds,  rulers  of  fifties 
and  rulers  of  tens  : 

"  And  let  them  judge  the  people  at  all  sea- 
sons ;  and  it  shall  be,  that  every  great  matter 
they  shall  bring  unto  thee,  but  every  small 
mutter  they  shall  judge.".    Exodus,  18,  21-22. 

We  most  break  off  here  for  this  time. 
In  conolusion,  we  remark,  in  relation  to^he 
other  questions  : 

That  though  intermsrrisgea  with  other  nas 
tions,  must  neeesvarily  lead  to  a  total  dissolu- 
tion of  wur  nationality ;  hence  the  trans^ess 
sion  is  a  grieTous  one,  as  being  fatal  in  its  cons 
sequences,  notwithstanding  the  transgressing 
party,  himself  or  herself  does  not  forfeit  hi; 
or  her  elaim  of  belonging  to  Israel. 
We  are  obliged  to  giro  them  burial, 
At  to  the  ceremonies  to  beobserred  in  these 
eases,  a  difference  may  be,  and  ought  to  be 
made. 

The  case  referred  to  by  M.  C,  is  an  aggras 
Tated  one  ;  still  burial  cannot  be  refused. 


Convresion  to  Christianity   and  Trig- 
amy. 
Elias  Cohn,  a  native  of  Schoen-eik,  Prns- 
sia,  was  baptised  in  1843,  and  entered  the  Bo- 
man  Catholic   Church  ;  married  a  Protestant 
woman,  deserted  her,  came  to  Tuchal,  where 
he  again  returned  to  Judaism,  beguiled  a  Jew- 
ish girl,  married  her  according  to  Jewish  rites 
— without,  however,  proclaiming  the  bans  in 
the  synagogue,  as  the  law  in  every  well  or- 
ganzied  State  requires — deserted  his  second 
wife,  left  the  city,  and  was  sometime  after  join- 
ed again  in  the  bonds  of  matrimony  to  a  Ro- 
man Catholic  woman,  after  having  made  oath 
before  the  priest  that  he  was  a  single  man. 
He  was  found  out,  apprehended  and  imprison 
ed  in  the  fortress  of  Grandentz,  f©r  bigamy  and 
perjury.    With  difficulty,  the  Rabbi  of  Gran. 
dentz  prevailed  on  the  criminal  to  release  the 
Jewish  wife  by  a  J^j),  (letter  of  divorce),  in 
which  eflForts,  the  Roman    Catholic   Chaplain 
and  the  director  of  the  prison  humanely  a» 
sisted  the  Rabbi.    Strange,  the  forlorn  bed, 
reckless  as  his  course  predicates  him  to  be,  en- 
^uu^d  of  the  Rabbi,  whether  his  child  by  his 
Jewish  wife  would,  by  the  synagogue,  be  con- 
sidered a  Cohen,  (priest)  ?    Upon  the  reply  in 
the  afBrmative,  his  countenance  brightened  op, 
feeling  happy  that  the  child,  at  least,  belonged 
to  the  stock  with  which  the  sympaties  of  the 
father  were  ;  though  he  apparently  had  enter- 
ed another  fold.

TO  LITTLE  ELLIN. 

BT  X.  r.  TOPPIB. 

My  precious  babe,  my  guileles-i  little  girl— 
The  soft,  sweet  beauty  of  thy  cherub  face 

Is  smiling  on  me,  radiant  as  a  pearl 
With  young  intelligence,  and   infant  grace  : 
And  must  the  wintry  breath  of  life  efiace 

Thy  purity,  fft'r  Bnow-drop  of  the  spring  ? 

Must  evil  taint  thee — must  the  world  en- 
thrall 

Thine  innocent  mind,  poor,  harmless    little 
thing  ? 
Ah,  yes !  thou  too  must  taste  the  cup  of  woe, 
Thy  heart  must  learn  to  grieve  as  others  do, 

Thy  soul  most  feel  life's  many  pointed  sting  : 
But  fear  not,  darling  child,  for  well  I  know 

Whatever  cares  may  meet  thee,  ills  befal, — 

Thy  God — thy  father's  God  shall  lead  thee 
safe  through  all. 


The   Dutiful  Son. 

There  was  once  at  a  military  school  a 
sensible  and  excellent;  youth,  one  who  dis- 
charged all  his  duties  with  the  utmost  ex- 
actness, but  was  noted  for  one  singularity. 
He  sat  at  the  table  with  a  face  cheerful  as 
that  of  any  of  his  companions,  ate  his 
soup,  and  then,  during  the  rest  of  the 
meal,  contented  himself  with  bread  and 
water.  It  was  in  vain  that  they  tried  to 
persuade  him  to  partake  of  the  luxuries 
which  were  provided  for  the  pupils.  lie 
always  reftiSed.  "Bread  is  g.Kul  enough 
for  me."  he  would  say.  The  principal  of 
the  school,  hearing  what  was  going  on, 
and  charging  this  conduct  to  some  excess 
of  devotion,  for  which  there  was  no  ne- 
cessity, gently  reproved  the  boy  for  it, 
and  told  him  that  he  ought  to  conform  to 
the  custom  of  the  house. 

Notwithstanding  the  reproof,  the  boy 
still  continued  to  live  as  before.  The  prin- 
cipal of  the  school  then  thought  ihat  he 
ought  to  inform  the  commanding  officer 
of  the  conduct  of  the  youth.  He  did  so. 
The  officer  regarded  the  case  as  a  very 
extraordinary  one.  He  asked  the  offender 
what  motive  he  had  for  his  conduct.  The 
pupil  answered,  with  his  usual  honesty, 
but  without  explaining  the  reason  upon 
which  the  officer  insisted.  The  latter: 
taking  this  silence  for  obstinacy,  told  him, 
that  as  he  chose  to  live  after  this  fiisnion, 
he  might  do  so  and  welcome;  but  that  he 
should  send  him   home  to  his  fiither. 

This  threat  frightened  the  child.  "Alas 
sir!"  said  he,  wringing  his  hands,  "I  will 
tell  you  all.  My  father,  though  a  good 
man,  is  extremely  poor,  aiid  has  other 
children  besides  me.  In  his  house  I  only 
had  bread  to  cat,  and  we  could  get  bnt 
little  even  of  that.  Here  I  have  excel- 
lent soup  and  white  bread,  just  as  much 
before:  If  I  should  indulge  myself  in 
eating  all  these  luxuries,  as  the  rest  do,  I 
should  recall  too  painfully  the  reccolleo- 
tion  that  my  father  and  my  mother  are 
destitute  almost  of  the  necssarifes  of  life-." 
The  officer  listened  with  admiration  to 
wKat  the  •child  said.  "But,  my  friend," 
said  he,  "if  your  father  has  served  in  the 
army,  does  he  not  draw  a  pension  ?\ 

"No,  sir,"  said  the  boy,  "he  tried  a 
whole  year  to  get  one,  but  for  want  of 
money,  he  was  obliged  to  return  home 
withoat  it." 

"  Ah !  if  it  turns  out  to  be  as  you  re- 
present it,  I  promise  you  I  will  obtain  a 
pension  for  him^  worthfive  himdrod  livtes. 
As  your  parents  are  in  distress,  very  like- 


ly they  have  notliKed  your  pockets  much  ; 
so  you  must  take,  for  spending  money, 
these  three  louis,  which  1  present  t^)  you 
in  behalf  of  the  king.  As  for  your  father, 
1  shall  send  to  him,  in  advance,  the  avails 
of  the  first  six  months  of  his  pensirm,  for 
I  am  sure  I  shall    obtain   one   for   him." 

The  child  was   overwhelmed    with  joy, 
and,  turning  over   the  three  louis   in  his 
4rtntds,T5»id^'^¥ott  w411-9eft4  the  mcney  to 
my  father !  how  will  you    do  iti" 

"  Don't  let  that  matter  give  you  any 
uneasiness.  I  guess  we  can  find  the 
means." 

"Oh,  sir!"  said  the  true-hearted  boy, 
will  you  send  to  him,  too,  the  three 
louis  which  you  have  so  kindly  given  me? 
I  h  ave  no  use  to  make  of  them  hero,  and 
they  would  be  so  useful  to  my  parents!" 

This  request   was  ooniplied    with,  and 
the   affectionate   son   had   aflerward   the 
happiness  of  seeing  his  parents  above  the 
each  of  poverty. —  Vouth's  Cabinet.

SJxjiriojtjLiOLQaT  or  tub  To>orK- — A  white 
fur  on  the  tongue  attends  simple  fever  and  in 
flamation.    Yellowness  of  the  tongue  attends 
a  derangement  of  the  liver,  and  is  common  to 
bilious  and  typhus  fevers.     A   tongue  vividly 
red  on  the  tip  and  edge,  or  down  the  centre  or 
over  the  whole  surface,  attends  inflammation  of 
the  mucous  membrane  of  the  stomach  or  bow 
els.    A  white  velvet  tongue  attends  menta 
diseases.    A  tongue  red  at  the  tips,  becoming 
brown,  dry  and  glazed,  attends  typhus  state. 
The  description  of  symptoms  might  be  ex- 
tended infinitely,  taking  in  all  the  propensitie 
and  obliquities  of  mental  and  moral  condition. 
The  tongue  is  the  most  expressive    as  well  as

tries  to  disparage  him,  in  his  occupation  as 
Shochst,  is  not  to  be  listened  to ;  for  hs  oomes 
to  stir  up  contention  ;  he  does  not  come  to  sup- 
port, but  to  injure  our  institutions,  and  thus 
his  words  are  not  to  be  regarded.  In  ooroba-

A  Curious  Piece    of  Mechanism. 

At  an  early  date,  a  piece  of  mochiuiisin 
will  be  ready  for  exhibition  "which,  pro- 
bably, is  unique  in  its  kind,  and  calcula- 
ted to  attract  the  attention  of  the  public 
in  a  more  than  ordinary   degree. 

It  is  an  exact  representatitm  of  the  four 
wings  and  the  centre  of  tlie  Kremlin,  the 
imperial  palace  of  Moscow,  with  its  due 
proportions,  according  to  mathematical 
dimensions,  in  wood,  in  a  most  ingenious 
manner. 

Curious  as  is  tht'  production,  so  is  its 
history. 

There  lives  in  this  city  a  Russian  in 
rathcrhumble  circumstances,  who,  arrived 
to  this  state  about  three  years  ago. 

Unacquainted  with  the  English,  unpro- 
vided with  means  to  carry  on  a  respect- 
able business,  our   artist,  to   occupy  his 
time,  came  upon   the  idea  of  cutting  out 
of  wood  the  body  of  this  structure  which 
we  are  now  going  to   describe.     He  has 
been  occupied  at  it  three  years  or  above, 
and,  after  the  exercise  of  much  ingenuity, 
patience  and   perserverance,   he  has  pro- 
duced a  piece  of  mechanism  which  for  its 
beauty,  elegance,  and  curiosity  has  not  a 
second  in  the   state.     What   is  the  most 
remarkable   feature  in  this  production  is, 
that  it  was  not  made  with  tools   by  any 
me«ns   adequate   to   such  a  work.     No 
turner's  wheel,  no  implement  of  the  Car- 
ver aided  the  work;  a  usual  pen-knife  and 
another  tool  or  two  prepared  for  the  pur- 
pose by  the  hand  that  used  them,  were  all 
that  our  Artist  had  at  command.     A  brief 
description   of  the   whole   will   give  our 
readers  some  idea  of  the   more  than  hu- 
man perserverance  that  was   required  to 
this  elaborate  work. 
The  miniature  Kremlim  occupies — 
18  inches  front. 
12  "  "  in  depth. 
24  "  ."  "  height. 
It  is  oniamonted  with   four  domes,   of^ 
which  those  that  in  the   original  are  gild- 
ed, are  here  covered  with  finely   ground 
colored  glass. 

It  contains  no  less  than  162  doors  and 
windows,  all  which  open,  and  are  provided 
with  miniature  glass  panes. 

38  Balconies  beautifully  carved,  which 
are  composed  of  about  3048  different 
pieces. 


84  Columns. 

28  Rooms  among  all  of  which  liiero  is 
an  inter-communication. 

11  Flights  of  stairs  each  containiii<^ 
two  or  three  landings  all  provided  with 
bannisters  on  eaeh  side. 

The  whole  area  occupies  300  inches  all 
composed  of  variegated  minute  mosaic., 
composed  of  about  6000  pieces  of  wood, 
the  flooring  inside,  likewise  of  variogatc(i 
mosaic. 

ITie  area  is  surrounded  by  a  railing 
consisting  of  228  delicately  carved  pali- 
sades. 

The  portals  in  front  consist  of  most 
ehiborately  carved  square  pillars,  sur- 
mounted by    the   coat  of  arms. 

The  roof  torms  an  octagon  surrounded 
by  a   parapet. 

On  the  platfomm  are  also  to  be  found 
Guards,  sentinels,  box,  cannon,  fire  engin.i 
etc,  all  most  curiously  wrought  and  with 
proper  proportions  mathematically  cal- 
culated. 

ITie  whole  is  well  calculated  to  exercise 
our  curiostiy   and  admiration.  D.  B.

~1  ANCIENT  BOOKS 

The  art  of  writing  is  of  great  importance ; 
it  conveys  hanasn   thoughts  by  certain   marks 
or  represeDtatioDS :  there  are  several  methods 
b;  which  it  was  practiecd  in  former  times,  and 
in  later  days.    One  method   nsed  by  some 
Indians  and  other  antanght  nations,  is  a  kind 
of  pictore  writting,  or  drawing,  to  represent 
tbe  thiogg  which  the  writer  desires  to  tell 
others.    The  Rev.  T.  H.  Home,  in  a  work 
which  he  has  written  about  books,  copies 
a  drawing  of  this   sort  made  by  some 
North  American  Indians,  which  represents 
one  of  their  expeditions  against  their  ene- 
mies.   Similar  drawings  of  the   ancient 
MexicMis  have  been  copied  by  other  au- 
thors.    Another  sort  of  picture  writting 
was  much  used  by   tlie  Egyptiims  :  it  is 
called  hieroglyphic   writting.     The  first 
sort  of  picture  writting   only   represents 
things;  but    this     represents     ideas  or 
thoughts,     For  instuice,  an  eye  represen- 
ted God,  who  sees  all  things  ;\  a  sword,  a 
cruel  tyrant;  an  eye  and  soeptre,  a  king; 
a  lion  represented  courage ;   armies  were 
meant  by  hands   with  wedpons,     An  in- 
scription on  a  temple  in  Egypt,  expressing 
this  moral  sentence,  "  All  you,  who  come 
into  the  world,   and  go   out  of  it,   know 
this — ^that  the  gods    hate   impudence;" 
was  represented  by  an  infant,  an  old  man, 
a  hawk,  a  fish,  and   a  river  horse.     It  is 
thought  by  some  persons,  that,  from  this 
way  of  representing  religious   and  moral 
toiths  by  pictures  of  animals,  the  ancient 
Egyptians  came  to   worship  the  animals 
themselves  ;  as  the   introducing    images, 
or  paintings,  into  churches,  led  the  people 
to  worship   them.     Several   obelisks,  in 
Egypt,  are    covered  with  this  sort  of 


ANCIENT  IMPLEMENTS    OF  WRITING 


writting.  There  are  two  famous  ones  at 
Alexandria,  called  Cleopatra's  needles,  a 
hundred  feet  in  height,  and  upwards  of 
seven  feet  square  at  the  base.  The  four 
sides  of  both  are  richly  adorned  with  hie- 
roglyphics, cut  an  inch  deep  in  the  granite 
stone.  Another  sort  of  writing  represents 
words  by  marks  of  different  forms  for 
eacn  word,  instead  of  spelling  them  by 
letters.  Chinese  writing  is  of  this  sort : 
many  of  the  marks,  or  signs,  at  first  re- 
presented in  some  degree  the  things 
meant,  as  in  hieroglyphics,  but  by  degrees 
they  were  altered  to  their  present  form. 
The  words  in  the  Qiinese  language,  more 
than  fifty  thousand  in  number,  are  each 
represented  by  a  different  mark  or  charac- 
ter; very  few,  even  of  their  most  learned 
men,  are  acquainted  with  more  than  hal^ 
or  two-thirds  of  them.  All  these  methods 
are  less  useful  and  convenient  than  writing 
and  spelling  by  means  of  a  few  alphabet- 
ical letters. 

There  is  not  in  the  Bible  any  account 
of  the  invention  of  writing.  But  it  would 
seem  that  afler  the  gift  of  language 
(which  was  indespensable  to  rational  crea- 
tures,) writing  was  the  most  highly  bene- 
ficial and  important  boon  which  could  be 
conferred  on  men  posessed  of  intellect 
and  understanding,  who  from  their  circum- 
stances must  divide  and  spread  over  the 
whole  earth,  and  yet  be  forced  from 
various  necessities  to  maintain  intercourse 
with  each  other.  In  the  earliest  times 
families  must  have  seperated  :  the  pasto- 
ral life  required  much  room  for  flocks  and 
herds  ;  and  as  the  wealth  of  each  house- 
hold increased,   the  space  between  them 

must  have  become  greater,  and  every 
year  would  compel  more  distant  migra- 
tions from  these  unfailing  causes  (Gen. 
xiii.). 


But  even  in  the  first  ages  of  the  world 
it  would  be  requisite  to  have  some  method 
of  transmitting  and  receiving  intelligence 
from  the  scattered  communities,  of  a 
more  certain  nature  than  verbal  messages 
ever  can  be ;  nor  is  it  probable  that  events 
which  were  destined  to  act  upon  all  time 
should  be  left  to  float  upon  the  uncertain 
stream  of  tradition,  when  by  the  art  of 
writing  they  might  be  accurately  convey- 
ed without  addition  or  diminution  to  the 
latest  posterity.  It  is  scarcely  possible 
that  the  wondrous  gift  of  writing  was 
witheld  until  the  world  had  been  twice  re- 
peopled,  and  2513   years  had   rolled  by. 

The  working  in  iron  and  the  construc- 
tion of  musical  instruments  are  recorded 
in  Gen.  iv.  21,  22;  whilst  neither  before 
nor  after  that  period  is  the  origin  or  dis- 
covery of  writing  any  more  dluded  to 
than  is  the  origin  of  the  language  itself 
And  yet  without  writing,  no  information 
could  have  been  wjnveyed  to  remote  na- 
tions with  accuracy.  Few  persons  repeat. 
a  thing  in  the  precise  words  in  which  a 
detail  was  given  to  them,  and  the  most 
trifling  change  in  an  expression  may  throw 
the  whole  into  error  and  confusion,  or  en- 
tirely destroy  the  sense.  But  such  can- 
not be  the  case  if  writing  be  the  means  of 
communication,  for  whatever  is  thus 
definitely  stated  may  be  equally  under- 
stood by  those  to  whom  it  is  addressed 
as  by  those  who  write  it. 

It  was  a  matter  of  the  utmost  conse- 
quence that  the  most  exact  accounts 
should  have  been  preserved  of  the  creation, 
and  many  prophecies  of  deepest  interest 
to   unborn   generations.     Tho   ages   and

ooantnmo  w%(m  p.  SIO. 

Well  may  tbe  propet  Malachi  (Ohap.  1 ;  11) 
exclaim  "  From  the  rising  of  the  son  even  on- 
to the  going  down  of  the  flame,  my  name  is 
great  among  the  nations,  and  in  every  place 
incense  is  ofiered  onto  me." 

That  the  ineffable  name  of  God,  written  in 
Hebrew  in  four  letters,  expressing  "  Existwice," 
is  to  be  foand  in  India,  in  the  name  of  the 
god8-i-T-a,or  S-b-i-b-«-r,  we  notioed  in 
tbe  "  Gleaner,"  No.  87  p.  296.  We  again 
meet  it  in  J-o-T-i-«  another  name  for  Japiter 
(The  ancient  mode  of  writing  which  added 
before  tlie  j,  writing  D-j-o-v-i-i,  is  no  objec- 
tion to  this  Bopposition). 

That  we  again  meet  with  the  holy  name  ia 
Egypt,  in  the  name  of  the  god  J-^-^t,  need  not 
be  found  strange.  Bat  it  ia  interesting  indeed 
to  find  this  name  among  tlie  North  Amerioao 
Indiana,  as  the  following  article,  which  wt 
copy  from  the  Masonic  Mirror,  pablished  at 
Philadelphia,  will  show.  And  we  well  may 
exclaim  with  the  prophet  "  From  the  rising 
•f  the  aan  to  tbe  going  dowa  of  the  same,  my 
name  is  great  among  tbe  nations  ** 

Here  it  is  in  place  to  notice,  that  we  hold 
this  name  in  snob  reverence,  that  we  nevar 
pronoance  it.  Whenever  it  occars  in  oar 
writings,  we  read,  instead  of  the  printed  name 
of  four  letters,  tbe  word  "  Adonai,"  Lord. 
This  is  an  ancient  custom,  as  we  find  Joeephas 
already  mentions  it.  Only  the  High  Priest 
once  a  year,  in  the  Holy  of  Holies,  was  allowed 
to  mention  it,  as  it  is  written.

this  mstter,  i»  now  the  eiloru  of  the  £ut

ernment  of  Geneva,  in  a  spirit  of  liberality 
which  does  it  honor,  has  at  last  removed  all 
unjust  restrictions,  by  granting  fall  rights  of 
citizenship  to  the  Jews,  and  avtu  donating 
land  for  a  place  of  woiship.  But,  as  the  Is- 
raelites of  Geneva  cannot  avail  theniselvns  of 
this  public  grant  of  land  without  material  aid, 
they  ask  a  helping  hand  from  their  more  fa- 
vored brethren  in  the  United  States.  An  ap- 
peal for  this  ai(j  is  mude  in  the  Asmonean,  No. 
19,  which  would  bavo  been  well  worth  being 
given  in  foil  here,  did  but  our  space  allow  it. 
As  the  object  is  known,  we  bring  to  the  at-

Enolan'D — Cambridge. — Mr.  Arthur  Ooben 
is  the  first  Jew  who  lately  was  admitted  to  a 
degree  in  the  University  of  Cambridge.  Mr. 
Cohen,  however,  is  not  the  first  Jew  who  has 
—attained  a  gqpd  position  on  the  mathamaticat 
studies.  Jusl  twenty  years  ago,  one  of  his  co- 
religionists, get  nearer  to  the  mark  than  he. 
Mr.  SyIveBter,oif  St.  John's,  was  second  Wrang-

teachers,  paid  by  the  government  from  a  tax 
levied  on  the  Jews.  The  papils  of  the  Jewish 
schools  amount  to  G36,  while  the  total  number 
of  papils  is  9,946.  The  total  population  of 
Warsaw  is  156,072;  among  them,  40,922

THE  INEFFABLE  NAME  AMOWG 
THE  INDIANS. 

In  1837,  a  trefttise  was  published  in  Lopdon, 
entitled  "  The  Ten  Tribes  of  Israel  Histori- 
cally identified  with  the  Aborigines  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere,"  wherein  we  find  the 
following  extract  from  the  work  of  James 
Adair,  Esq.,  on  the  use  of  the  "loefiable 
Name,"  in  adjaratioo  by  a  Northern  Tribe  of 
Indians : 

"  Their  method  of  adjuring  a  witness  to  tes- 
tify the  truth,  confirms  the  former  hints,  and 
will  serve  as  u  key  to  open  the  vowels  of  the 
great  mysterious  four-lettered  name.    On  mi- 
nor aflairs,  tbe  judge,  an  elderly  chieftain,  asks 
the  witness, "  Checuchohga-sko  ? "  (do  you  lie?) 
to  which  he  answers, "  Kai-e-hobga,"  (I  do  not 
lie.)     But  when  tbe  judge  wishes  to  search 
into  somethiDg  of  material  consequence,  and 
adjures  the  witness  to  speak  the  pure  truth, 
0.  E.  ASKO,  "  What  you  have  now  said  is 
true  by  this  emblem  of  the  self-existent  Qod." 
T«>  i^  4h»witc*-«  repliss;  '  It  is  true,  by  the 
strong  pointing  symbol  of  YO-HE-W  A  H." 
When  the  knowledge  of  the  affair  in  dispute 
is  of  great  importance,  the  judge  swears  the 
witness  thus  :  "0.  E.  A."    It  is  true  by  the 
strong  pointing  symbol  of  YO-HE-W  A  H 
sko.    "  Have  you  told  me  the  pure  truth  by 
the  lively  type  of  the  great  and  awful  name 
of.  God,   which  describes  his  essential  exist- 
ence without  beginning  or  ending  ;  and  by  his 
self-existent,  perfect  name,  which  we  are  not 
to  profane,  and  by  which  I  adjure  you  ?  "  The 
witness  answers  :  "  0.  E.  A-Y-A-H,  I  have 
told  you  the  pure  truth,  which  I  most  solemnly 
swear  by  this  strong  religious  figure  of  the 
adorable  Great    Divine,    self-existent  name, 
which  we  are  not  to  profane  ;  and  I  attest  it 
likewise  by  this  other  beloved,  unmistakable, 
sacred,  eeeential  name."    The  judge,  in  small 
controversies,  asks, "  Tue-e-Aiko  ?  "  to  which 
he  answers,  "  Tu-ehah."  It  is  very  true,  or  a 
certain  troth."    Bach  an  addition  of  one,  or 
more  of  the  four  sacsfld  letters,  is  proportioned 
to  persons  or  things,  but  otherwise  they  might 
in  an  unguarded  use  of  them,  profane  the  em 
blems  of  the  Divine  Name." 


A 


Tbooblmi — Sorrows  gather  round  grea' 
souls,  as  storms  do  around  great  mouniaio  s  i 
but,  like  them,  they  break  the  storms  and  pu- 
rify the  air  of  the  plain  beneath  them.  Every 
heavy  burden  of  sorrow  seems  like  a  stone 
hung  around  our  neck ;  yet  they  are  often  like 
the  stones  used  by  pearl  divers,  which  enables 
them  to  reach  their  prize,  and  to  rise  enrich- 
ed. A  small  sorrow  distracts,  a  great  one 
makes  as  collected  ;  as  a  bell  loses  its  clear 
tone  when  slightly  cracked,  and  recover^it 
when  the  fissure  is  enlarged.

Mount  Vkrnon.— Some  four  years  ago,  a

ed on  them  for  the  organization  of  a  society  for 
the  purpose  of  purchasing  Monmt  Vernon,  the

aefiount  of  the  procnotion  of  extraordin-

grand  impostor.     A  girl,  his  daugter,  it 
the  mediuni  by  which  he  professedly  holds 
intercourse  with   the  useen    world.     She 
withdraws   to  a  distwice  from  others  in 
her  Hpiritual  operations,  and  there  seems 
to  hold  converse   with  the  unseen   under 
the  ground.     Whatever  be   the  nature  of 
the  communication,  she  reveals  it  to  her 
%ther,  who  announces  it  again  to   th&  na- 
tion.    '  Usifuba  and  Unopokadc,  the  two 
great  cheifs  in  the  unseen  world,  had  com- 
manded him  to  tell  the  people,   high  and 
low,  that  they  were  to  slaughter  all  their 
cattle,  consume  all  their  oorn,  make  large 
new  cattle-folds,  sweep  thoir  houses  clean, 
and  leave  the  fields  uncultivated,  since  in 
due  time  their  forefathers  would  rise  from 
the  dead,  to  visit  them4n  their  prepared 
houses.     Cattle  more  numerous  and  more 
be*utiftil  than  those  they  had  slaughtered, 
would  rise  from  the  ground  and  fill  their 
folda.     Com  would  spring  spontaneously 
from  the  ground,  and   they  would  all  en- 
joy a  happy  life   in   the   society    of  their 
progenitors,  aud  in  the   possession  of  cat- 
tle and  com    that   would   ncycr   perish.' 
Kreli  gave  forth  the   message  that   the 
prophet^s  words  should   be -obeyed,  and 
other   chiefs     followed  his   example.     A 
phrenzy  seemed  to  seize  upon  the  people ; 
soon  kraals  were  lefl  witout  a  single  head 
of  cattle.     The  sowing  season  came  on, 
but  many  threw    their   spades,   (fee,  into 
rivers,  and  nearly  the  whole  country  was 
left  uncultivated.     The   government   au- 
thorities naturally   expected  war  or  star- 
vation to  result   from  this.     To   prepare 
for  the   former,    troops,  it  is   said,  to  the 
amount  of  8000  or  10,000  were  placed  all 
along  the  borders  of  the  CaiTre   country, 
and  all  the  forts  were  put  into   a   proper 
state  of  defence.     As   the   people   could 
not   consume  their   corn   quick  enough, 
many  sold  it  for   a   tMfle.     Government 
purchased  as   much  as  it  could,  in  the 
hopes  that,  as  in  the  the  time  of  Joseph, 
provision  might  be  made  for  the  coming 
famine." — Home  and  Foreign  Record.

tne  award,  giving  the  premium  to  Miss  Anna 
Vanvalkenburg,  of  Stockton.  This  young 
girl  is  but  eleven  years  old.  The  ohild  reflects

ONMEIGGS'WHAEfl 

The  first  and  only  Sea  Bathing  eatabiiehmail 
on  tbe  Pacific  Ocean,  where  every  oonTenieMl 
is  found  in  the  latest  style,  for  the  accoDiii«.| 
dation  of  bathers  and  invalids.  I 

There  is  also  attached  a  Warm  Sea  Bathlil 
Ladies  of  the  Hebrew  faitb,  where  they  ml 
bathe  according  to  their  religion,  and  wbicliil 
connected  with  the  sea. 

This  institution  has  now  been  in  opeMbol 
one  year,  and  it  has  not  only  satisfied  tbetiJ 
peotatitfns  of  tbe  pnblie,  bnt  has  far  eiceedt^l 
tbe  anticipations  oftbe  proprietor,  'ftaetbniij 
of  suiTerers  and  bathers  has  increased  diilij 
and  in  consequence  the  bathing  faoilitiea  hnl 
been  extended  and  enlarged,  and  several  iit-l 
portant  improvements  have  been  made.  Eiikl 
bather  has  a  separate  room,  where  he  oukl 
properly  cooled  and  rested.  I 

The  use  of  the  Sea  Baths  is  not  a  psUiati^l 
but  a  positive  remedy.  It  takes  the  diieauJ 
the  root  and  eradicates  it  effectually.  Hu'l 
dreds  of  patients  who  have  used  these  bilkl 
according  to  the  proper  directions  have  b«il 
healed  ;  and  some  diseases  that  have  bafBed  ill 
other  remedies,  have  been  cured  by  the  uhm 
these  baths  in  a  short  time.  I 

Every  kind  of  malady  can  be  cured  bytbal 
baths,  and  it  is  unnecessary  to  enumerate  thai 
here.  I 

In  connection  with  the  Bathing  Eatabiuk-I 
ment  is  a  HOTEL,  containing  a  great  diii;I 
rooms  elegantly  fitted  up  for  patients  and  bitii I 
ers,  and  where  they  can  lodge  and  receinl 
medical  aid  and  attendance.  MerchaDtiiii| 
Miners  who  visit  San  Francisco,  either  wl 
business  or  on  account  of  sickness,  sh«D]di4| 
fail  to  go  to  the 

Sea  Bath  Hotel, 

Before  they  fall  into  the  hands  of  tbe  miql 
quacks  thatabound  in  Ban  Francisco.  I 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen  patronizing  my  etUM 
lishment  will  find  neatly  furnished  pwkl 
where  every  attention  will  be  paid;  *ti*\ 
bathers  the  utmost  care  will  be  rendered  bjl 
polite  feno^ale  and  male  servants.  These  hiikl 
in  connection  with  the  SeasWaterDoucbewiil 
perform  wonders;  and  aa  (he  price  for  thdl 
use,  and  lodgings  at  the  hotel,  ia  only  fnil

are  alike  accessible  to  the  poor  as  well  ut^xl

To  convince  the  people  of  California  tliXl 
there  is  no  humbuggery  about  the  instilDtiii^l 
I  will  append  one  of  my  cards  of  tbsoksllx'l

San  Francisco,  10th  Nov.  185* 
I  here  publicly  state  that  I  was  sfSictedl*! 
many  months  with  severe  bodily  psins,  ff*l 
which  I  had  no  rest  by  day  or  by  iiig'>''.'l 
consulted  several  eminent  physicians  in  >^l 
city,  but  none  ooold  help  me.  I  lost  all  i>Jl 
flesh,  and  looked  like  a  skeleton.  My  busbwl 
thought  it  necessary  to  send  me  on  to  I|i'l 
York  to  try  a  cure,  in  this  perplexity,  I  «*^r| 
on  Dr.  Brune,  who  ordered  me  to  take  medi-j 
cine  four  times,  and  try  the  sea  bathe,  vlii<|l 
soon  restored  me  to  health  and  vigor.  ItbiO'l 
the  Almighty  that  he  has  sent  me  to  Dr.  BrnMi  I 
under  whose  care  1  becamehealthy  andftroB||l 
I  consider  it  my  duty  thus  publicly  to  bwI 
known  my  case,  to  let  all  sufferers  know  tba| 
Dr.  Brnns  is  the  man  to  relieve  them  of  tb«r 
bodily  pain  and  to  restore  them  to  health. .

INTERMARRIAGES. 

The  subject  of  the  question  before  u^ 
It'ud.s  us  to  speak  of  intermarriage  in  gen- 
eral; not  on  account  of  their  frequency  in 
this  country- they  happen  most  rarely; 
we  do  not  know  of  more  than  two  cases 
in  this  state-but  on  account  of  the  impor. 
tance  of  the  snbject.  and  with  the  prospec- 
tive view  of  hereafter.  And  in  taking  up 
the  pen  to  treat  on  this  subject,  we  wish 
to  be  UMder8tood,though  we  cannot  refuse 
))urial  to  those  who  have  married  out  the 
pale  of  their  faith,  we  are  by  no  means 
their  apologists.  For  such  a  union  can 
neither  be  desirable  to  the  honest  Chris- 
tian, nor  to  the  sincere  Jew;  it  must  be 
fraught  with  mischief  to  the  church  and 
the  synagoue  directly,  and  indirectly  t*> 
the  state ;  Neither  of  these  institutions 
can  be  pleased  to  see  her  children  dally 
with  principles. 

The  chasm  between  Judaism  and  Chris- 
tianity (at  least  of  that  preached  by  the 
church)  is  too  wide  yet  to  allow  of  an 
amalgamation.  A  Jewish  husband  may 
wi'Il  agroe  with  a  Christian  wife  in  all 
points  of  religion  ;  but  there  is  the  dogma, 
(we  mean  the  Christian  dogma,  for  the 
Jew  has  im  dogma,  our  system  Is  pure 
deism)  Besides  there  are  the  Christian 
holydays  and  Jewish  holydays — there  is 
the  education  of  a  family. 

Can  the  Christian  mother,  dare  she  if 
she  is  a  christian,  deny  "her  Savior"  in 
or  tc  her  children  1  and  she  denies  hira^  it 
she  does  not  profess  him,  if  she  keeps  si- 
lence about  him,  and  Whosoever   shall 
deny  me  before  men,  him  will  I  also  deny 
before  my  Father  who  is  in  heaven.    And 
whosoever  will  confess  me  before  men,  him 
will  I  confess  before  my  father  who  is  in 
heaven"  Math,  x  32 :  83  ;     Luke  x  1 18:9; 
Mark  8 :  38 ;      And  again  "If  w^suffer 
we  shall  reign  with  him  ;  if  we  deny  him 
he   will  also  deny  us"  2  Timothy  2:12.' 
Such  are  the    teachings  of   Christianity. 
And  the  more  correct  these  principles  are, 
the  greater  an  obstacle  will  they  be  in  the 
education  of  the  children  of  the  intermar. 


ried pretessors.     And  hom  will  the  honest  | 
Chtistlan  wife  '  overoome  them  1      Now '} 
there  are  two  ways  before  them  :    either  , 
one  of  the  parties  agrees  to  sacraiioe  his  or  | 
her  conviction  to  th%  other :    the  ohildren 
will  then  be  brought  up  either  Christians 
or  tfews,  or  they  agree  to  bring  thenx  up 
in  a  state  of  indifference  to  either  religion. 
In  the  latter  case,  both  agree  to  bring 
up  their  children  in  a  state  of  IndifTerence. 

T\if ^r    frKo    hiiaKafiH    fl»H  i\i€^    r>\\\\n r ATI  ' 

but  we  more  than  pity  the  miserable  state 
of  a  woman,  who,  from  passion,  unsancti- 
ficd  passion  towards  a  lover,  renounces  her 
God,  (we  presume  her  to  be  a  Christian) 
and  the  fulfilment  of  sweetest  task  of  a 
mother,  vix.  the  training  her  children  in 
the  most  sacred  path  man  has  to  walk, 
the  task  of  infusing  into  their  minds  the 
only  safe  guard  against  vice  and  ruin, 
the  only  consolation  in  misfortune  and  in 
death- 

Suqh  a  woman  is  a  miserable  object 
with  all.  Such  a  woman  is  deprived  of 
the  brightest  jewel  in  the  female  char- 
acter ;  a  women  wiihout  religion  is  a 
frail  object  indeed. 

But  the  woman  who  believes  and  can 
suppress  that  faith,  turn  recreant  to  her 
God  and  to  her  children,  in  obedience  to 
passion,  h  not  the  woman  iu  whose  fidel. 
ity  any  husband  can  trust — or  that  is 
calculated  to  be  the  happiness  of  her  fam. 
iiy.  *  And^should,  fbr  the  satisfactton  ot 
the  mother,  the  agreement  be  made,  to 
have  the  children  brought  up  in  the  Chris- 
tian faith,  this  again  will  prove  a  failure, 
for  though  the  latter  mao  be  indifferent 
about  religioas  practices  i^  general,  to  re- 
ligions trath'ft  he  dare  not  be  indifferent, 
and  if  he  does  not  believe  the  Christianity 
preached  by  the  church  to  be  trne,  how 
dare  he  have  it  inculcated  into  the  minds 
of  his  children  ?  Thus  it  is  plain  that  such 
anions  are  to  be  deprecated  by  the  Syna- 
gogue as  well  as  the  Church :  for  both  aim 
at  seeing  man  act  honestly. 

And  indeed  the  history  of  such  unions 
proves  them  to  be  devoid'of  that  holiness 
which  binds  and  graces  the  religioas  fami- 
ly Jewish  or  Christian,  and  which  is  the 
only  secarity  of  happiness  and  fidelity  be- 
tween wife  and  husband,  and  the  only 
pledge  of  faithfalness  of  parents  towards 
children,  and  of  respect  of  children  to- 
wards their  parents. 

Bot  it  is  chiefly  the  children  whom,  in 
some  iavalaable  manner,  we  see  grow  op 
as  a  warning  to  their  Jewish  and  Chris- 
tian relations  and  coreligionists.  It  seems 
as  if  heaven,  through  them,  declared  a- 
gainst  Boch  marriages:  for  in  no  in- 
tance,  have  we  found  the  children  attach- 
ed to  the  faith  of  either  parent,  nor  did 
their  minds  eqjoy  that  holy  qaiet  and  hap- 
piness, the  osaal  attendant  of  faith. 

We  mast  state  that  oar  advice  agaihst 
intermarriages  is  not  the  result  of  any 
disparaging  opinion  entertained  by  as  of 
the  daughters  of  the  followers  of  Jesus. 
This  is  by  no  means  the  case.  The  very 
nomeroos  examples  of  the  highest,  indeed 
the  highest,  examples  of  eminent  virtue, 
and  sincere  piety  ,of  saperior  loftines  of  mind 
and  female  dignity  that  have  come  under 
oar  observation,  woold  have  rendered 
them  worthy  of  being  held  ap  as  models 
to  ourselves. 


The  OMy  of  BoyaHo 

The  city  of  Boyanowes  ia  one  of  thr 
ftontier  cities  between  Poland  and  Silesia, 
st(  Bated  half  way  between  Posen  and 
Breslan.  The  number  of  its  inhabitant* 
amoBDted  to  between  8,000  and  4,000. 
The  Christian  portion  of  the  population 
psed  to  make  a  comfortable  living  bj  the 
manufacture  of  broad  cloth,  which  was  ex- 
ported to  Russia.  But,  since  the  inven- 
llon  of  machtnery,  and  the  pTObtbitiDii  of 
Russia  to  import  foreign  manufactures, ex- 
cept at  an  elitaordinary  duty,  the  cloth 
trade  began  to  stagnate,  and  the  compar- 
ative prosperity  of  the  city  sank.  The 
Jewisli  portion  of  its  inhabitants  probablv 
consisted  of  abont  fifty  families,  who  were 
partly  engaged  in  the  wool  and  cloth  bu- 
siness, as  also  in  other  vocations.  The 
wltolo  city  distinguished  itself  for  its  neat- 
ness and  the  respectibitlty  of  its  inhabi- 
tamts.  There  reigned  a  social  spirit  among 
its  citizens  of  which  we,  in  this  State,  can- 
not boast  of  any  thiu;^  similar. 

The  Jewish  congregation,  though  few 
in  number,  and  far  from  being  rich,  bad 
a  substantial  brick  Synagogue,  adjoining 
which  stood  a  two  story  brick  house,  which 
served  for  the  residence  of  the  Rabbi  and 
Hazon,  CReader.J  One  room  in  that 
bailding  was  appropriated  for  aBethham- 
midrash  ( or  study  j,  where  the  members  of 
the  congregation,  every  one  according  to 
his  capacity,  could  occupy  the  evening 
hoars  and  the  Sabbath,  aad  holy  days,  in 
studying  such  books  as  he  was  able  to  un- 
derstand, or  foond  congenial.  When 
schools  were  established  in  Prussia,  the 
Jewish  portion  of  the  citizens  of  Boyan- 
nowefopened  a  school  for  their  children, 
and  supported  the  teacher. 

The  small  congregation,  actuated  as 
they  were  by  a  spirit  of  religion,  could  find 
means  of  support  for  a  Rabbi,  a  Hazan, 
and  Shochat,  a  teacher  and  a  Shamash. 

In  former  times,  the  city  supported  also 
some  Bachoorim,  fstudents j.  The  ofiBcers 
recited  above,  were  treated  with  the  great- 
est kindness  and  respect ;  the  members 
showed  themselves  worthy  of  respect,  by 
showing  that  thoy  respected  others. 

Again,  these  officers  were  not  mere 
dradges.  The  Rabbi  was  not  put  to  the 
humiliating  task  of  l)eing  obliged  to  en- 
tertain an  aadience  by  songs;  he  was  not 
obliged  to  be  a  Hazan,  (chanter,  reader) 
nor  had  he  to  do  the  work  of  an  usher, 
and  teach  little  children  the  alphabet ;  nor 
had  he  to  kill  beasts.  No,  the  poor  con- 
gregation had  four  different  functionaries 
for  four  different  pensions,  which  our  rich 
call, — themselves, — congregations,  try  tc 
combine  in  one  person. 

Now,  contrast  this  with  the  state  of  af- 
fairs of  the  new  world,  and  try  then,  to 
boast — feel  then,  vexed  and  insulted  that 
an  honest  press  will  not  bend  itself  to  a 
3t  ano  no.— 

In  conclusion,  we  slate  that  the  officers 
of  the  congregation  of  Boyanowe  were 
allowed  to  live  in  peace,  and  to  continue 
in  dlfice  for  life. 

The  late  llabbi  brought  up,  and  mar- 
ried a  numerous  family,  in  the  midst  of 
his  people,  and  died  honored  and  happy. 
The  present  incumbent  has  occupied  his 
place  some  twenty -three  years — his  con. 
gregation  felt  a  pride  to  see  the  honora. 
ble  man  honored — the  betters,  who  knew 


how  te  appreciate  worth,  ihtjp^  surely, 
they  would  not  raise  their  mw  against 
the  truly  honent  man,  and  the  multitude 
wouldneither  dare  nor  desire  to  raise  their 
ha/nde  against  their  betters.  But  it  pleas- 
ed the  Lord  "to  smite  the  shepherd  and 
to  scatter  the  flo<.k." 

May  He— if  so  He  sees  fit— rebuUd 
the  city  na  I'S'  jr«  "WJ,  "in  which  righ- 
teousness used  to  loflge." 

May  Her  chUdren  ba  gathered  within 
her  w^s,  and  may  they  know  torouKrno 
more.

though  our  faith  may  be  put  to  the  trial  for

around  us.  Thus  heaven  and  earth ;  the  or- 
gaaisod  and  inorganiwd  world,  the  humble 
hyssop  on  the  wall,  and  the  lofty  cedar  of 
Lebanon,  teach,  endourage,  and  admonish  as. 
•  Truth  sproutheth  forth  fh)m  the  earth,  and 
fmercy  looketh  dewn  from  heaven,"  Ps.  85  ;13; 
An  oak  tree,  for  two  hundred  years,  grom 
solitary.  It  is  bitterly  handled  by  frosts.  It 
is  wresUed  with  by  ambiUous  winds,  deter- 
mined to  give  it  a  downiidl.  It  holds  fsst  and 
growB-seemingly  alone.  What  is  the  use  of 
aU  this  Bturdinees;  this  strength,  to  itself' 
Why  am  I  to  stand  here,  of  no  use  ?  My 
roots  are  anchored  in  rifts  of  rooks.  No  herds 
can  lie  down  under  my  shadow.  I  am  far 
avove  singing  birds,  that  seldom  come  to  rent 
among  my  leaves.  I  am  set  as  a  mark  for 
storms  that  bend  and  tear  me.  My  fruit  a 
serviceable  for  no  appetite.  It  had  been  bet. 
ter  for  me  te  have  been  a  mushroom,  gathered 
in  the  momiBg  for  some  poor  man's  table,  than 
to  be  a  hundred-year  oak— good  for  nothing. 
While  it  yet  spake,  the  axe  was  hewing  iti 
base.  It  died  in  sadness,  saying  as  it  fell- 
"  Mtmy  ages  for  nothing  have  I  Hved." 

The  axe  has  completed  its  work.    Byand- 
by  the  trunk  and  roots  form  the  knees  of » 
stately  ship,  bearing  its  country's  flag  arouDd 
the  world  ;  other  pa*ts  form  keel  and  rib  of 
merchmantmeu ;  and  having  defied  mountain 
storms,  it  now  equally  defies  the  thunders  of 
the  waves,  and  the  murky  threat  of  scowling 
hurricanes.    Other  parts  are  laid  into  floort, 
or  wrought  into  wainscottiog,  or  carved  for 
frames  of  noble  pictures,  or  foshioned  ioto 
chairs  that  embosom  the  weakness  of  old  age. 
Thus  the  tree,  in  dying,  came  not  to  its  end, 
but  to  the  beginning  of  life.    It  voyaged  the 
world.    It  grew  to  posts  of  temples  and  dwet 
lings.    It  held  upon  its  surface  the  soft  feet 
of  children,  and  tottering,  frail  patriarchs,  l' 
rocked  in  the  cradle,  and  swayed  the  tottering 
lunbe  of  age  by  the  chiainey  comer,  and  heard 
secure  within  the  roar  of  those  old  unweari* 
tempests  that  once  surged  around  its  xao^- 
tain  life.    Thus,  after  its  growth,  its  long  une* 
fulness,  its  cruel  prostration,  it  became  uni- 
versally useful,  and  did,  by  its  death,  what  it 
could  never  do  by  its  lilb.    For,  so  long  ss  it 
was  a  tree,  and  belonged  to  itself,  it  was  soli- 
tary and  Bsolesa.    Bat  when  it  gave  up  its 
own  life,  and  became  related  to  others,  then 
its  fme  life  began.'

3WA^4i^€to  you  tell  me  how  woh

Little  Rachel  will  answer- 

Rachel. — Our  former  teacher,  who  is  in 
heaven  now,  told  us  a  beautiful  story  of 
a  boy  who  behaved  so  well  to  his  old 
grfind father;  how  happy  the  boy  and  the 
grandfether  felt,  and  he  told  that  by  learn- 
ing stories  of  our   forefathers  we  learn  to 


ime. 


On  the  History  of  the  Bible. 

My  dear  diildren. — It  is  a  long  time 
since  I  examined  you  in  the  history  of  the 
Bible.  I  will  see  what  you  remember  of 
your  former  lessons. 

Teack&r. — What,  my  dear  children  is 
the  use  of  learning  stories  about  men 
that  have  lived  as  long  ago  as  Adam,  Eve, 
Abraham,  Moees,  David  and  others,  and 
countries  so  far  oflT,  and  of  mamiersso  differ- 
ent  from  our  own  ?   Sarah  will  answer. 

Child. — Man's  dispositions  are  always 
the  same;  we  think  and  act  as  men  and 
women  and  children  have  felt  and  acted 
in  the  times  of  Noah,  Seth  and  Methushe- 
lah — so  are  God's  dispensations  always 
the  same ;  he  rewards  the  good,  and  has 
so  arrayed  it  that  the  evil  fruit  of  sin  will 
fall  back  on  the  sinner,  of  every  country 
and  age.  This  being  the  case,  so  we  learn 
from  the  example  of  those  that  have  lived 
before  us,  to  foUow  what  is  good,  and  to 
shun  what  is  evil.  They  thus  prove  to 
us  teachers  of  virtue,  and  monitors  against 
vice  Again,  as  we  see  their  good  and  evil 
deeds  recorded  to  their  honor  or  shame, 
so  may  we  be  sure  that  our  deeds  and 
thoughts  will  be  carried  down  to  after 
ages — and  testify  -ibr  or  against  us — 
though  we  may  as  little  think  of  it  as 
they  thought  that  their  deeds  will  be  on 
record  for  so  many  ages — . 

Teacher. — But  what  is  the  uSe  to  study 
their  manners  and  customs  1 

Child. — Manners  and  customs  of  an- 
cient times,  it  is  interesting,  and  useful  to 
know  how  people  lived  thousands  of  yea^s 
ago  and  longer. 

Teachtr. — I  will  admit  that  study  is  in- 
teresting, but  what  is  the  use? 

Child. — You  told  us  once  that  all  know- 
ledge, if  well  applied,  serves  to  make  us 
more  fit  to  act  well  and  wisely.  But  the 
knowledge   of  the  way  our  forefathers 


It  is  thieretbre  with  good  reason  that 
your  parents  send  you  here  to  learn  f^Q^ 
the  anoients  how  to  fear  and  to  revere 
God  and  thus,  besides  cultivating  those 
affections  of  gratirnde  and  the  desire  of 
knowledge,  you  will  remember  among  the 
many  boons  (bounties)  received  from  our 
forefathers,  the  most  important  one,  which 
is  the  idea  of  true  Religion,  of  a  kind 
Providence,  and  a  protector  of  lunocence^ 

leel  kindly  to^ur^M^^T^otBe^^im^  oF  wKohTshall   tell  yolT  more  linbtEef 

sisters,  and  so  it  makes  us  good  ohildren- 
Teacher. — Sarah   nay     child,   what  can 

you  tell    me   about   the  use  of  learning 

the  history  of  our   forefathers] 

Sarah. — Well,  it  is  so  pleasant  to  be 

grateful,  and  to  know  the  people   from 

whom  we  have  received  some  favors,  and 

have  not  we  received  many  favors   from 

our  forefather  1 

Teacher. — Very   true,  my   dear   child, 

Can  you  tell  me  some  of  the  favors:  which 

we   have  received? 

Sarah.B-  We  owe  thtm  much  for  their 

inventions.     If  they  had  not  invented  the 

many  usefiil  things  from  which  we  derive 

so  many  comforts,  wo  could  not  have  en- 
joyed them.     And  so,  out  of  a  feeling  of 

gratitude,   we  ought  to  desire  to   hear 

from  them,  and  to  respect   them. 

Teacher. — We  shall  return  to  this  sub- 
ject some   other  time,    if  God  spares  us. 

For  this  time  you  may  tell   me:  did  our 

forefathers  know  as  much  as  we  do  ? 

Sanah. — ^They  did  not:  men  in  our  times 

have  invented  many  things  of  which  our 

forefathers  knew   nothing.     But   for  all 

that,  we  owe  a  great  deal  to  them,  My 

mama  told   me,  w«   could    never  have 

known  what  we  know,   if  they   had  not 

given  us  the  beginnings  to  improve  upon. 
Teaclier. — I  think   our  Sarah,   is   quite 

right :  we  owe  more  to  the  ancients  than 

many    understand    to  appreciate.     And 

were  we  able  to  measure  the  new  and 

the  old,  we  would  find  all  the  inventions 

of  the  ancients  taken  together  to  amount 

to  much  more,  than  those  of  the  moderns 

alone.     We  are  just  like  little  Rose  who  is 

but  three  years  old,  and  one  day  when  her 

sister  Mary,  who  is  twelve  years,  carried 

her,  she  said  I  am  bigger  than  Mary,  see 

I  ami — so  she  was,  because  she  was  sitting 

on  Mary's  arm.     But   as  soon  as    Mary 

let  her  down,  and  Mary  stood  alone,  and 

Rose  alone.  Rose  soon  fomid  that,  she  was 

not  so  tall  as  she  thought   at  first — so  it 

is  with  us;  when  our  forefathers  had  gath- 
ered experience  for  ages,  and  communi- 
cated them  to  us,  we   may  weU    boast  of 

improvement     And,   indeed^  we    would 

have  been  blameable,  if  we  had  not  im- 
proved.    Hence  you  must  not  think  too 

much  of  ourselves,  and  too  little  of  your 

parents  and  forefathers. 

Besides  I  must   tell  you  one   thing  in 

which  our  forefathers  were  much  advan- 
ced before  our  age-and  for  which  all  good 

men,  will  highly  respect  them,  and  try  to 

oome  up   to   them,  and  that  is — ^piety. 

Their  pious  feelings,  my  dearly   beloved 

children,  were  warmer,  deeper,   intenser, 

than  ours-we  are  too  much   intent  about 

the  world,  about  dress,  parties,  balls,  dan- 
cing, making  money  and  pursuing  plea- 
sures-and  in  this  tumidt  of  our  lives,  the 
silent  voice  of  God,  the  feeling  of  piety 
to  God,  and  love  to  man,  grows  obtuse, 
and  callous.

DEATHS. 

It  was  the  will  of  the  Di^<,en8er  of  life  and 
death,  to  call  to  a  better  abide,  three  of  the 
chosen  of  oar  flock.  Ye  have  the  sad  task 
imposed  apon  os  to  chronicle  the  deaths  of 
three  worthy  women  io  Israel.  All  three  were 
taken  home  in  the  flower  of  life.  They  were 
snatched  away  unexpectedly,  each  leaving  chil- 
dren behind  tbem  of  so  tender  an  age  as  not  t« 
be  able  to  appreciate  their  iraeparable  loss. 
They  were  an  honor  to  their  people,  a  blessing 
to  their  hasbands,  and  their  demise  will  be 
deeply  lamented  by  all  who  kntw  them. 

Bom,  wife  of  Philip  Bom,  of  this  city, 

fell  a  victim  to  maternal  love.  Over  exertion 
daring  the  sickness  of  her  children  produced  a 
fever  which,  in  a  few  days,  terminated  her 
earthly  existence.  She  was  taken  ill  last  week 
and  died  on  Sunday  night,  the  4th  inst.  She 
was  a  rare  example  of  prudence  ud  gentleness. 
She  leaves  a  disconsolate  husband  and  three 
little  children. 

Gette  Bloomingdale,  wife  of  Jacob  Blooms 
iogdale,  formerly  of  this  city,  was  anexpect- 
edly  called  from  amcDg  is.  The  deceased,  with 
her  husband  and  two  children,  left  this  State 
ft>r  the  East  aboat  ten  weeks  ago,  and  were 
among  the  passengers  of  thte  Illinois  when  that 
steamer  run  apon  the  reef,  and  they  were  ta- 
ken to  Havana.  It  was  there  that  the  germ  of 
death  was  inhaled  by  the  deceased,  to  which 
she  fell  a  victim  on  her  arrival  at  New  York. 
She  leaves  a  hosband  and  two  children  to  las 
meat  their  lo«. 

The  deeply  lamented  death  of  Jetta  Mitohel 
took  place  00  Sunday,  the  4th  inst.,  leaving 
two  helpless  children  aad  a  disconsolate  boss 
band  to  moorn  their  loss.

C*BJlagr«tion  of  Boy««»we. 

Only  that  low  ta  to  be  truly 
whlo^is  irrtparable,  or  which,  to  retrieve, 
is  beyond  the  means  of  the  loser.  The 
loss  of  a  large  city  in  this  our  State,  whose 
recuperative  powers  are  almost  inexhaust- 
ible, is  trivial  when  compared  with  that 
of  a  small  village  in  a  county  whose  means 
are  stinted,  whose  resources  are  exhaustelT 
and  Where  the  most  indefatigable  industry 
is  barely  able  to  supply  the  barest' wants 
of  necessity.  In  such  a  land,  extraordi- 
nary losses  necessarily'must  be  atteneded 
with  extraordinary  privations  ;  and  the 
pungent  wants  within  can  only  be  allevi- 
ated by  the  assisting  hand  from  without. 

We  now  appeal  for  such  an  aid  to  all 
the  friends  of  humanity,  in  behalf  of  the 
sufferers  of  the  city  of  Boyanowe,  which 
was  lately  consumed  by  a  fire  that  impov- 
erished its  inhabitants,  to  an  extent  little 
known  in  this  country. 

We  extract  the  following  account  from 
a  letter  sent  by  an  eyewitness,  to  his  sons 
in  this  State. 

It  reports  the  whole  city  to  have  been 
burned,  while  our  papers  stated  80  houses 
to  have  remained  unscathed.  Probably 
the  letter  speaks  of  the  main  city,  while 
the  papers  refer  to  the  faubourg  which,  as 
iB  -well  known,  m  ancient  oitieB,  «taBd»  with- 
pat  the  walls,  and  may  either  be  included 
or  excluded. 

A  ^rtion  of  the  letter  reads  as  follows: 

"  You  probably  will  wonder  that  we  al- 
ready write  again.  But  it  is  an  extraor- 
dinary  event  that  calls  for  this  letter- 
great,  a  very  great  calamity  has  happened 
here.  On  the  13  th  of  August,  at  four 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  a  fire  broke  out 
in  Boyanowe  which,  in  the  time  of  half  an 
hour,  envelope(^he  whole  city  in  a  sheet 
of  flame.  WeP  have  lost  everything, 
without  exception.  All  the  Jews  have 
been  reduced  to  a  state  of  beggary.  Of 
the  Synagogue,  «nd  all  the  Sepharira, 
(Scrolls;,  nothing  is  saved.  The  brick 
buildings,  with  the  rest,  are  all  gone. 
About  twenty  persons,  among  whom  were 
five  Jews,  have  become  a  prey  to  the 
flames.', 

[Here  follow  the  names  of  the  per- 
sons, amoug  whom  is  a  man  above  eighty 
years  of  age.] 

"  There  are  yet  a  great  many  christian 
citizens  missing.  The  whole  city  is  con- 
verted into  a  heap  of  ashes.  We  know 
not  how  to  rebuild  it,  since  we  are  deprived 
of  everything.  It  laoks  with  us  as  at  the 
destruction  of  Jerusalem.  I  am  exhaust- 
ed ;  we  had  to  lie  twenty-four  hours  in  the 
open  fields. 

This  letter  speaks  for  itself,  and  re- 
quires no  further  comment. 

"We  hope  that  thisurgent  appeal  will  be 
duly  respoded  U*  by  those  whose  heart  can 
feel  for  a  suffering  fellow  man ;  we  there- 
ore  respectfully   request  all  those  of  our 

friends  who  are  desirous  of  being  active 
in  the  cause  of  charity,  may  come  for- 
ward themselves  and  induce  their  friends 
to  contribute  towards  the  relief  of  the 
sufferers.

Report  of  the  American  Bible  S6ciety. 
The  following  statement  will  convince  our 
readersjthat  with  all  the  marterialism  and 
unbelief,  of  our  age  the    religious  prin 
ciple  is  yet  operative  in  counteracting  the 
icy  infl^i^n<y  "f  tht^  spirit  of  tbft  world, A 
few  weeks  ago,  we  have  given  the  report 
of  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Publicatton 
for  last  year.     We  showed  that  the  dis- 
tribution of  the  Board  in  one  year  amount- 
ed to  no  less  than  330,910  volumes  of  re- 
ligious reading  matter.;  besides  a  circula- 
tion of  2,780,402  pages  of  tracts.     The 
amount  paid  by  that  denomination  for 
missionary  purposes  alone,  in  one  year 
was  about  $207,000 — .We  huve  now  be- 
fore us  the  report  of  the  American  Bible 
Society  from  which  we  give  the  following 

extracts : 

The  receipts  of  the  yearamoimt  to  $441, 
80567:  being  $49,48842  mooe  than  the 
receipts  of  the  year  before,  and  exceeding 
the  largest  amount  ever  before  received 
in  one  year,  bv  47,466  17.  Of  this 
amount  238,456  03  were  from  the  sale  of 
Bibles  and  Testaments. 

'  Books  Printed. 

There  have  been  printed  in  the  Soci- 
ety's House,  the  past  y^cr,  of  Bibles  944 
000,  and  of  the  New  Testament  496,000; 
making  a  total  of  740,000  volumes,  or 
more  thsm  one  fourth,  over  the  number 
printed  the  year  before. 

Books  Issued. 

There  have  been  issued  772,552  Bibles 
and  Testaments  duruig  the  year;  making 
an  aggregate,  since  the  formation  of  the 
Society,  of  12,094,434  volumes. 

The  issnc  of  the  past  year  exceeds  in 
value  those  of  any  former  year  by  $33, 
394  9(6.      ' 

•Of  these  volumes,  thus  circulated  the 
past  year,  it  is  a  fact  worthy  of  special 
notice,  as  showing  the  demand  for  the 
Rible  among  our  foreign  population,  that 
52,166  copies  were  in  German;  6,301  in 
French;  2,351  in  Welsh;  4,418  in  Span- 
ish; 1,763  in  Portuguese;  and  that  in 
twenty -two  other  living  languages  repre- 
sented in  this  country,  many  thousands  of 
copies  were  distributed.  Of  the  volumes 
for  the   Blind,  388  have  been  issued. 

But  religion  is  not  selfish,  it  is  not  sat- 
isfied wiih  merely  providing  for  self:  the 
religioufll  principle  like  every  other  power 
is  expansive  ;  where  life  is,  it  will  mani- 
fest itself,  where  vital  power  is,  it  will 
operate.  And  so  we  read  in  the  Record 
(page  78  ) 

Grants  of  Money: 

Aside  from  the  ordinary  home  opera- 
tions, there  have  been  remitted  the  past 
year,  for  publishing  the  Scriptures  abroad, 
the  following  sums : 

For  France        .         .         .  $1,5000

The  following  extract,  fh)m  a  note  ad- 
dressed to  the  Society  by  a  friend  of  the 
cause,  is  very  suggestive,  and  may  well

Stooktom  Oct  5.  1857. 

It  is  with  feelings  o(  deep  and  profound 
secret,  I  have  to  announce  tbe  death  of  Mrs. 
Yette  Mitchel,  wife  of  H.  Mitohel  of  this 
city.  She  died  yesterday  the  2ad  day  of  Buc 
ooth  at  4  o'clock  r.  u.  after  her  late  ooneQoo- 
ment. 

She  was  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  of  this 
place,  having  arrived  here  five  years  ago,  and 
maried.  She  was  ranch  beloved,  and  esteem- 
ed by  all  who  knew  her,  and  won  by  her  natu- 
ral kindness,  many  friends.  She  was  an  ng?Ji{ 
nDUyn>  *""  afFeotionate  wife,  and  a  fond  mo- 
ther, never  was  a  word  uttered  by  her,  that  waa 
not  one  of  pure  kindness.  She  was  born  in 
Wreschen',  province  of  Pooen,  and  was  about 
thirty  years  of  aga  Her  death  came  so  en- 
tirely unexpected,  that  it  has  ,thrown  quite  a 
gloom,  and  a  very  deep  feeling  of  r^ret  among 
us. 

Her  husband  is  absent    at  bis   place  of

sad  intelligence,  cannot  possibly  reach  him  be- 
fore several  days —  Indeed  this  calamity  will 
be  terrible  for  him. 

She  leaves  two  children,  one  two  years  old 
and  another  three  y  ears  to  mourn  their  loss, 
in  an  afiectioaate  mother,  whose  guarding 
care  can  no  longer  divert  their  little  minds. 
She  was  strictly  religious  and  never  failed,  as 
fitf  as  was  in  her  power,  to  follow  her  religion. 

Great  yreparations  are  being  made  for  the 
funeral  tomorrow  by  our  Congregation  Rybim 
Ahoobim  *  and  tbe  citizens  generally,  to  pay 
the  last  tribute,  to  the  respected  deceased.

DESCRIPTION  OF  ANCIENT  WRITING  lEPLEMEFTS. 


the  declarations  of  Job  prove  that  let- 
ters and  books  were  known  to  him  and 
his  countrymen,  who  were  a  people  quite 
distinct  from  the  Hebrews. 

In  the  nineteenth  chapter  of  Job  (ver. 
23,  24)  it  is  said,  '  Oh,  that  my  words 
were  now  written !  Oh,  that  they  were 
printed  in  a  book  !  that  they  were  gra- 
ven with  an  iron  ^en  !'  Also  Job  xxxi. 
35,  '  mine  adversary  hadim/ten  a  book.' 
Such  expressions  could  not  have  been 
used,  and  would  have  had  no  meaning,  if 
the  art  of  writing  had  been  unknown); 
nor  could  there  have  been  such  terms  as 
book  and  pen,  if  the  things  themselves 
had  not  existed. 

If,  then,  it  be  granted  that  the  Book  «f 
Job  was  written,    and   such    expressions 


were  single,  but  frequently  from   two  to 

five  or  more  leaves  were  done  up   into  a 
• e -   o  ..  sort  of  book,  something  like  our  slate- 

will  be  observed  that  our  present  notice  \^^^^^     The  Greeks  and  Romans   usual- 


cred  volume,  and  elsewhere,  we  shall  here, 
froin  the  Pictorial  Bible,  state  a  few 
leading  facts  on  the   general   subject.     It 


is  limited  to  such  portable  writings  as 
may  more  or  less-  properly  come  under 
the  denomination  of  "  book  ;"  and  we 
shall  find  it  convenient  to  arrange  our 
brief  remarks  under  the  heads  of  Vege 
table,  Metallic,  and  Animal  Substances, 
Most  of  those  we  shall  notice,  or  proba- 
bly all,  were,  in  due  order  of  time, 
known  to  the  Jews,  as  we  either  know 
positively  from  Scripture,  or  else  may, 
with  tolerable  cwi;ainty,  infer  from  theij 
connections  with  other  nations.  It  may 
be  therefore  more  useful  to  view  the  sub- 


ly  coated  the  boards  with  wax,  on  which 
the  letters  were  traced  with  a  style,  or 
pen,  commonly  of  iron,  but  also  of  gold, 
silver,  brass,  and  sometimes  ivory  or 
bone.  These  instruments  had  one  end 
pointed,  to  trace  the  letters,  and  the 
other  broad  and  smooth,  for  the  purposo 
of  obliterating  what  had  been  writteui 
by  spreading  back  the  wax,  so  as  to  ren- 
der it  fit  to  receive  other  words.  In  such 
books  there  was  in  the  middle  of  each 
leaf  a  sort  of  button,  to  prevent  the 
pages   from   touching  each    other    when 


^  ject  connectedly,  than  to  take    it  up  in     f,^^^      But  the  greater  warmth  of  their 

were"c7rr7n7befbr7"thr£odT'it    b^^     fragments,  as  the  several  passages  bring     elimate  prevented  the  Jews  from  general- 


comes  evident  from  sacred  history,  that 
writing  was  not  only  in  use    before  the 

law  was  given  on  Mount  Sinai,  but  that 
it  was  also  known  amongst  other  patriar- 
chal tribes  tha#  the  children  of  Israel.

1.    Wood. — Inscriptions  on   wood  are 

very  ancient,  but  do  not    require    to    be 

here    noticed.     Tablets     of  wood   were 

very  early  in  use,  and  seem  to  have  been 


In  order  to  give  the  reader  some  idea  generally  employed  much  in  the  same 
of  the  probable  form  and  material  of  the  way  as  slates  among  ourselves;  that  is, 
most  ancient  books  mentioned  in  thesa-'  for  temporary  writing.    Sometimes  they 


ly  using  wax :  they  therefore  wrote  on 
the  tablets  with  a  kind  of  ink,  which

is  rare,  indeed,  for  European   travel- 
to  go  down  so  far    sunth  ui  the  wil- 
ot  Arabisae  Yenum.     Therefore, 
an^  information  from    the    state    of  the 
Jews  in  that  remutoMid  unfrequented  re- 
gi(to,  must  be  quite   weloome  to   the  cu- 
rious reader;  tha  snore  ^8o,  if  we   inform 
him  that  the  number  of  the  scattered  of 
Israel  in  that  country    is  lo  considerable 
that  it  amounts    to  about  20,000    souls ; 
that  in  the  chief  town  of  Yemen,  in  Sand, 
they   have    eighteen     .synagogues.     We 
must  make  allowance  :  probably  some  of 
these  are    but    localities    where    certain 
Hebroths   (Societies)   make    Minyan. — 
However,  there  is  no  doubt  that  several 
are  of  considerable  extent.     Their  scrolls 
of  the  law  in    their  possession,    are  ele- 
gantly written.     They  are  in   correspOn- 
denco  with  their    co-religionists   in    Bag- 
dad iuid   Bassara,  fon  the    river  Tigris,) 
and  Bombay,  in  India.     European    man- 
ners and  customs  have  exercised    neither 
their  bad  nor  good    influences  on    these 
distant  sons  of  Abralmm  ;  they  are  strict 
adherers  to  the    talmud.     If  they    have 
noiidea    of  religious    progress,    on    one 
hand,  they  on  the  other,    are  not  tainted 
with  our  total  want  of  vital    religion. — 
To  them,  religion   is   still  the    first  and 
last  consideration — a  principle  of  life. — 
The  synagogue  to  them  is  not  a  mere  ex- 
hibition— a  mere  place    of  performance, 
where  one  day    in  the  week    and  some 
fo^r  days  in  the  year   is   represented  the 
servici?,  by  a  man  hired  for  the   purpose, 
wliich  ouY  forefathers  used  to  pray.     To 
th^m  the  Sabbath  and   holyday  are  not 
all  but  forgotten.     Among  them,  all  re- 
ligion is  not  transferred  from   the  heart, 
the  house,  and  ^ho  family,   into  the  syna- 
goguti— such  as  it  is    among   tis.     No, 
they  are  not  so  far  progressed. 

But  on  the  other  hand,    they,   like  the 
Arabs  among  whom   they  live,   practice 


polygamy.  T^ey  affirm  to  have  come  to 
that  country  after  the  destruq^ion  of 
the  first  TerapU  by  Nebuchadnexzer, 
and  to  have  reftised  to  return  to 
Palestine,  at  the  call  of  Ezra.  But, 
the  most  remarkable  place  for  J«wi8h  in- 
hahitantft  of  that  cx)untjryi  is  Adeii^near 
the  Strait  of  Babel  mandel,  on  the  south- 
ern extremity  of  the  Red  Sea.  It  con 
tains  about  20,000  inhabitants,  of  whom 
/the  greater  portion  are  Jews.  They  are 
generally  poor,  being  carpenters,  stone- 
masons, and  Artisans  of  various  t^es. 
A  few  arc  silversmiths,  but  jparoely  any 
we  merchants.  While  it  was  in  posses- 
sion of  the  native  prince,  some  acted  in 
the  capacity  of  clerks  or  writers  to  him. 
The  Israelites  of  this'-  place  are  strict 
Talmudists.  They  have  a  synagogue, 
very  rogulafly  and  devoutly  attended ; 
and  three  public  schools,  in  which  the 
children  are  taught  to  read  Hebrew. 
Many  are  instructed  at  home ;  and  it  is 
believed,  that-almost  all  the  Jewish  chil 
dren  of  the  place  either  publicly  or  pri- 
vately acquire  the  ability  to  read.  The 
Jews  of  Aden  have  many  copies  of  the 
Law,  and  other  portions  of  the  Bible, 
and  likewise  portions  of  the  Talmud,  on 
u'hich  thfiy  .ict  a.high  value-  Tbsy  held 
constant  intercourse  with  their  brethren 
in  the  interior.  The  burying-ground^of 
the  t<jwn  cover  several  acres,  and  the  ma- 
jority of  the  inscriptions  on  the  .tomb- 
stones are  in  Hebrew  characters.

Owing  to  the  haste  with  which 
our  paper  was  put  to  press,  last  week,  the 
following  interesting  letter  was  omit- 
ted :— 

To  TBI  SkCRCTABIM  of  Tbk    ^XaaiCAIf    BlBLB 

SooiXTT  :-~Aboat  the  elosa  of  the  year  1841,  I 
rMolvsd  to  d«Tote  ona  q«arter  of  my  clear 
gains  to  such  religioua  and  charitable  purpoaat 
aa  my  undarstanding,  guided  by  Revelation 
•od  Diviaa  Providence,  appeared  to  dictate 
My  whole  property  was  than  worth  leas  than 
|30RIOa  Fourteen  years  inoeaeant  toil  in  the 
Snnday  Sehool  and  Temperinoa  eDterpriaea 
had  impaired  both  my  physical  ernigiea  and 
finances.  I  fait  the  naoeiity  of  ayatem  to  re- 
cuperate both. 

It  may  be  gratifying  to  the  Ameriaan  Bible 
Sooiaty,  and  I  wiah  to  record  it  to  tha  glory 
of  Ood'a  grace,  and  for  the  encouragement  of 
othera  to  aystematically  remember  the  Foun* 
tain  of  all  our  blaaainga,  that  in  about  fifteen 
yearil^ha  value  of  my  property  haa  more  than 
quadrupled,  thongh  much  of  it  ia  unprodao- 
tive  ;  and  in  that  time  I  have  returned  to  the 
"Giver  of  every  good,"  |ll,7t9  61,  and  have 
arranged  that  when  I  "go  hence,"  onesfoarth 
of  my  unproductive  property,  and  from  whioh 
my  title  of  ona  quarter  haa  not  been  taken, 
ahall  find  the  aama  channeL 

I  rejoiae  in  all  the  American  Bible  Society

We  regret  tha*  our  compositor,  by 
neglect,  omitted  inserting  the  notice 
which  we  had  composed  to  give  for  this 
occasion.  The  celebration  took  place  at 
Musical  Hall  last  Saturday  night.  The 
attendance,  we  learn,  was  more  numer- 
ous than  ei^r  before,  llu'ee  long  tables 
with  coveiwfor  4CK)  persons  were  not  suf- 
ficient to  accommodate  all  the  guests, 
and  a  number  had  to  be  seated/at  a  sec- 
ond table.  The  tables  were  richly  laden 
with  the  choicest  viands,  furnished  by 
Messrs.  Bachnmn  &  Elsasser,  proprie- 
tors of  the  New  York  Hotel. 

We  generally  hear  oar  poptlar  chron- 
iclers speak  in  unmeasured  terms  of  such 
celebrations,  which,  among  Israel,  are  of 
very  recent  date.  As  to  ourselves,  we 
must  ctmfess,  that  though  we  consider  ev 
ery  improving  enjoyment  a  divine  service, 
and  though  we  heartily  wish  our  people 
joy  and  happiness,  our  senses  are  not 
acute  enough  to  appreciate  the  mode  of 
enjoyment  adopted  lately  anriong  us. — 
To  us,  the  consideration  of  our  actual 
itaie-  ood  toaxUi  suggestrd  the  passage  uf 
Psalm  39 :  6-7,  which  reads:  "  Verily  ev- 
ery man  at  hisbeststaie  is  altogether  vanity. 
Surely  every  man  walketh  in  a  vain  show, 
f(jr  vanity  only  do  they  make  a  noise.''^ — 
Perhaps  this  impression  was  forced  upon 
us  by  the  decease  of  three  young  moth- 
ers that  so  recently  took  place  among  us. 
For,  though  death  itself  is  not  consider- 
ed by  us  a  sad  event,  it  surely  is  one  of 
serious  consideration;  and  contrasted 
with  our  vanities  and  sloth,  we  oould  not 
repress  the  thought-v"  Surely  everv  man 
walketh  in  a  vain  show ;  they  make  noise 
about  •vanity." 

Tbakks. — We  return  oar  thanks  to  the 
Committee  of  Arrangements  of  the  celebration 
of  the  seventh  anniversary  of  the  Enrcka 
Benevolent  Society  of  this  city,  for  the  invita- 
tioa  extended  to  as.

A  KAKE  CHANCE. 

SALE  OF  A  PRIVATE 
BOARDING   HOUSE. 

Owing  to  the  departure  for  the  Atlantic 
States  of  the  Proprietor  of  the  well  estab- 
lished House,  No.  14  Sansome  street,  and  op- 
posite the  Rassette  House,  he  is  desiroos  of 
selling  out.  The  House  is  well  furnished  for 
the  accommodation  of  weekly .  boarders,  and 
has  a  large  and  respectable  share  of  custom. 
This  is  an  excellent  chance,  as  the  House  is 
so  fitted  up  that  it  needs  not  a  dollar  of  ex- 
pense, nor  loss  of  time,  aa  the  party  that 
takes  it,  can  set  dinner  at  once. 

For  particulars,  inquire  at  the  Premises.

The  uae  of  the  Sea  Bathe  ia  not  a  palliative,

Dny  of  Atonement,  by  A.I* 

tending  to  his  own  iiusi-^ 

ne  8 


REPLY  TO  "A.   B." 


Tho  solution  of  the  above  query  was 
put  us  by  Mr.  A.  B.,  of  Sacramento 
street,  in  a  communication,  which  came 
too  late  last  week  to  be  attended  to. — 
We  now  proceed  to  treat  the  subject^ 
which,  we  hope,  will  not  be  without  in- 
terest to  our  readers. 

In  the  total  subversion  of  our  nomi- 
nally religious  affairs — in  the  total  ab- 
sence of  an  acku(jwledgment  of  any  au- 
thority— in  a  time  when  the  multitude 
and  not  principle  rules — in  a  time  when 
Congregation  means  no  more  than  a  So- 
ciety for  burying  the  dead  and  reading 
three  days  in  a  year  our  Liturgy — in 
such  a  state,  all  questions  of  Church  Dis- 
cipline are,  indeed,  out  of  question  and 
rules ;  and  disciplinary  measures,  exer. 
cised  by  that  multitude  must  inevitably 
render  '•  confusion  worse  confounded." — 
Therefore,  if,  by  "  Congregation,"  would 
be  meant  such  a  Society,  we  would  tell 
them  :  as  you  admit  everybody,  born 
of  Jewish  parents,  who  is  able  to  pay  his 
monthly  contribution,  without  regard  to 
his  religious  principles,  the  question  gen- 
erally merely  is,  on  admissiou,  one  in 
reference  to  birth  and  ^ay,  and,  some- 
times, what,  with  us,  is  called  fair 
standing. 

Now,  if  the  question  were  relative  to 
such  a  Congregation,  we  would  say — as 
you  do  not  inquire  after  religious  opinion 
or  practice  in  admitting  your  members 
lo  what  you  call  Congregation — you  have 
no  right  Uj  inquire  about  their  religious 
opinions  or  practices  after  admission. — 

But  the  very  fact  that  our  correspond- 
ent submits  the  decision,  not  to  the  vote, 
but  to  (presumptive)  principle,  it  is 
apparent  that  this  question,  at  least,  is  to 
be  understood  in  reference  to  a  proper 
religious  body — to  a  pfoper  Congrega- 
tion— and,  in  relation  to  such,  we  state, 


that  every  Society  is  formed  for  a  certain 
object — that  its  members  are  joined  and 
kept  together  by  a  certain  degree  of  con- 
geniality and  feelings  of  association ; 
and  that  moral,  like  physical  bodies,  must 
have  means  of  self-preservation  and  self- 
protection  within  themselves.  To  effect 
these,  viz.  :  the  self-preservation  and  self- 
protection,    the    Society    must   have    a 

yt^pflpy  of  anpariifiiig    f\r    f\f  thr'""*'''"g 

such  portions,  whose  continuance  in  the 
body  might  corrupt  It,  or  whose  sub- 
stance is  quite  heterogeneous  or  fbregn 
to  it. 

The  question  now  is  :  Does  the  fact  of 
a  irtan  violating  the  Day  of  Atonement, 
by  attending  to  his  regular  business  indi- 
cate him  estranged  and  foreign  1  And  is 
his  influence,  if  allowed  to  be  exercised, 
by  his  bel*)nging  to  our  societies,  to  be 
considered  injurious  to  our  religious 
body  ? 

We  arc  fur  from  wishing  to  attiich  to 
the  question  more  importance  than  it  de- 
serves ;  but  the  case  merits  attention, 
even  on  account  of  its  singularity.  Wo, 
therefore,  ask  :  What  is  the  importance 
of  the  day  ?  What  is  the  sin  of  trans- 
gression, and  what  ought  to  be  the  conse- 
quent penalty  ? 

The  Yotn  Kippur  is  the  most  sacred 
day  of  the  year.    This  sacredness  is  given 

i  th    if      j-vifK-fw   111'-  fli^.    fitif  fij  ■Ly»   i-\T    rviTf   nf\r\c^    n^ 

by  ourselves. 

As  to  the  author,  he  attaches  no  more, 
importance  to  that  day,  in  ^-elation  to 
work,  than  he  does  to  any  other  Sabbath. 
The  day  is  called  in  the  Bible  wrov  ravf 
"  a  (day  of )  strict  rest :"  so  are  the  usual 
Sabbath  days  called  in  the  very  book — 
(see  Exod.,  xxxv :  2.)  The  penalty  for 
trangressing  it  is  mD  "  cutting  off."-^ 
[What  this  means,  we  shall  try  to  tell 
hcreatter.]  This  same  penalty  is  attaches 
to  him  who  works  on  the  usual  Sabbaths : 
"  And  observe  ye  the  Sabbath,  for  it  is 
hcly  unto  you  ;  whosoever  profaneth  it, 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death ;  for  whoso- 
ever doeth  any  work  thereon,  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  among  his  people." 

(nojr  a->pD  rnn  jerojn  nlinjji  The  in- 
junction and  penalty  being  given  in  the 
same  terms,  by  the  same  author,  in  the 
book,  for  the  Sabbath  and  the  Day  of 
Atonement,  it  would  be  an  inconsistency 
to  commence  in  this  State,  in  California, 
where  this  transgression  is  all  but  univer- 
sal, with  the  exclusion  of  an  individual 
from  the  Congregation,  when  the  more 
equitable  way  would  be  to  exclude  the 
Congregation  from  tho  Congregation ; 
and  if,  by  chance,  there  is  remaining  "  in 
a  city,  and  two  in  a  family,"  who  make 
an  exception  to  the  rule,  let  them  be  al- 
lowed shift  for  themselves.  Such  ap- 
parently by  a  parity  of  reasoning,  ought 
to  be  the  proceeding  fti  a  land  of  equality, 
where  all  are  equal  before  the  law.  Such, 
perhaps,  would  have  been  the  reasoning 
of  the  mera  Bible  reader ;  but  the  argu- 
ment is  incorrect,  for  many  reason. 

In  the  first  place,  no  law  is  able  always 
to  inflict  pimishment,  according  to  the 
grossness  of  the  crime.  For  instance,  in 
a  counsry  where  murder  is  punished  with 
capital  punishment,  no  heavier  penalty 
can  be  inflicted  on  a.  criminal  who  is 
guilty  of  the  commission  of  several 
murders.  •

A  Olergyman's  Dream. 

The  Imqerial  Magazine  contains  an  ac- 
count of  a  remarkable  dream  related  by 
Eev-  RBowden,  of ,  Darwen,  in  England> 
who  committed  it  to  writing  from  the 
lips  of  the  clergyman  to  whom  it  hap- 
pened. The  dream  suggests  a  most  sol- 
emn and  affecting  admonition. 

A  minister  of  evangelic  principles, 
lyhowff  n«i^Tno  from  the  circumstances  that 
occurred,  it  will  be  necesary  to  conceal, 
being  mudi  fatigued  at  the  conclusion  of 
the  afternoon  service,  retired  to  his  apart- 
ment in  order  to  take  a  little  rest.  He 
had  m>t  long  reclined  upon  his  couch  be- 
fore He  fell  asleep  aud  began  to  dream. 
Ho  dreamed  that  on  walking  into  his  gar- 
den,  he  entered  a  bower  that  had  been 
erected  in  it,  where  he  sat  down  to  read 
and  meditate.  While  thus  employed  he 
though  he  heard  some  one  enter  the  gar- 
den ;  and  leaving  his  bower,  he  immedi- 
ately hastened  tt)wards  the  spot  whence 
the  sound  seemed  to  come,  in  order  to  dis- 
cover who  it  was  that  had  entered.  He 
had  not  proceeded  far  before  he  observed 
a  particular  friend  of  his,  a  clergyman  of 
considerable  talents,  who  had  rendered 
himself  very  popufar  by  his  zealous  and 
unwearied  exertions  in  the  cause  of  Re- 
ligion, On  approat-hing  his  friend,  he  was 
surprised  to  find  that  his  countenance  was 
covered  with  a  ^loom  which  it  had  not 
been  accustomed  to  wear,  and  that  it 
strongly  indicated  a  violent  agitation  of 
mind  apparently  arising  from  conscious 
remorse.  After  the  usual  salutations 
had  passed,  his  friend  asked  the  relator 
the  time  of  the  day  ;  so  which  he  replied, 
"Twenty -five  minutes  to  four-"  On  hearing 
this,  the  stranger  said,  "It  is  only  one 
hour  since  I  died,  and  now  I  am  d — d." 
"D — d!  for  what?"  inquired  the  minis- 
ter. "It  is  not,"  said  he,  "because  I 
have  not  preached  the  gospel,  neither  is  it 
because  I  have  not  been  rendered  usefiil 
for  i  have  many  souls  as  seals  to  my  min- 
istry, who  can  bear  testimony  to  the 
truth  they  have  received  from  my  lips ; 
but  it  is  because  I  have  been  seeking  the 
applause  of  men  more  than  the  honor 
which  Cometh  from  above,  and  verily,  1 
have  my  reward!"  Having  uttered 
these  expressions  he  hastily  disappeared, 
and  was  seen  no   more. 

The  minister  awaking  shortly  after- 
ward, with  the  dream  deeply  graven  on 
his  memory,  proceeded,  overwhelmed 
with  serious  reflections,  towards  his  chap- 
el, in  order  to  conduct  his  evening  ser- 
vice. On  his  way  thither  he  was  accos- 
ted by  a  friend,  who  inquired  whether  he 
had  heard  of  the  severe  loss  the  church 
had  sustained  in  the  death  of  their  able 
minister.  He  replied,  "No ;"  but  being 
much  affected  at  this  singular  intelligence 
he  inquired  of  him  the  day  and  the  time 

of  the  day  when  his  departure  took  place. 
To  this  his  friend  replied,  "This  after- 
noon, at  twenty-five  minutes  after  three 
o'  clock."

Social    Amusenientfl. 

Whenever  the  laws  of  body  and  mind 
are  properly  understood,  it  will  be  allow- 
ed, that  every  person  needs  some  recrea- 
tion ;  and  that,  by  seeking  it,  the  body  ia 
strengthened,  the  mind  is  invigorated, 
and  all  our  duties  are  more  cheerfully 
and  successfully  performed. 

CiiiWred,  whoso  bodies  are  cafJTdly 
growin^^Hnd  whose  nervous,,«^tem  is 
tender  an*^citable,  noed^/muth  more 
amusement,  llian  persojj*W  mature  age. 
Persons,  also,  ^i^lt^aife  oppressed  with 
great  responsi^^Wfr^and  duties,  or  who 
ai'e  taxedbjf^reat  inS^ectual  or  moral 
ex<-item4i<M,  need  recreatiol^which  secure 
phv^i<?al  exercise,  and  drawNff  the  mind 
from  absorbing  interests. 

As  the  only  ]egitimattM)bject  of  amuse- 
ments, isto  prepare  mind  aud  body  f<ir  the 
proper  discharge  of  dutv,  any  protracting 
of  such  as  iuteifere  with  regular  employ- 
ments, or  induce  exceaslve  fatigue,  or 
weary  the  mind,  or  invade  the  proper 
hour  for  repose,  must  be  sinfiil. 

In  deciding  what  should  be  selected, 
and  what  avoided,  the  following  rules  are 
binding.  In  the  first  place,  no  amuse- 
mehts,  which  inflict  needless  pain,  should 
ever  be  allowed.  All  tricks  which  cause 
tright,  or  vexation,  and  ail  sports,  which 
involve  suffering  to  animals,  should  be 
utterly  forbidden, 

In  the  next  place,  w^  should  seek  no 
recreations,  which  endanger  life,  or  icter- 
fere  with  important  duties.  Of  course, 
if  a  prrson  feel  that  the  previous  day's 
diversions  have  shortened  the  hours  of 
needfiil  repose,  or  induced  a  lassitude  of 
of  mind  and  body,  instead  of  invigorating 
them,  it  is  certain  that  an  evil  has  been 
done,  which  should  never  be  'repeated. 
A  third  rule,  is,  to  avoid  those  amuse- 
ments, which  experience  has  shown  to  be 
so  exciting,  and  connected  with  so  many 
temptations,  as  to  be  pernicious  in  tend- 
andcy,  both  to  the  individual  and  the 
community.  It  is  on  this  ground,  that 
horso-racing  and  circus-riding  are  excluded . 
Not  because  there  is  anything  positively 
wrong,  in  having  men  and  horses  run, 
and  perform  feats  of  agility,  or  in  persons 
looking  on  for  tho  diversion ;  but  because 
experience  has  shown  so  many  evils  con- 
nected with  these  recreations,  that  they 
should  be  relinquished.  So  with  theatres. 
The  enacting  of  characters,  and  the  amuse- 
ment thus  afforded,  in  itself  may  be  harm- 
less ;  and  possibly,  in  certain  cases,  might 
be  usefiil :  but  expeaience  has  showTi  so 
many  evils  to  result  from  this  source, 
that  it  is  deemed  wrong  to-  patronize  it. 
So,  also,  with  those  exciting  games  of 
chance,  which  arc  employed  in  gambling. 
Under  the  same  head,  comes  dancing, 
in  the  estimation  of  the  great  majority 
of  the  religious  world.  Still,  there  are 
many  intelligent,  excellent,  and  concien- 
tious  persons,  who  hold  a  contrary  opin- 
ion. Such  maintain,  that  it  is  an  innocent 
and  healthfiil  amusement,  tending  to 
promote  ease  of  manners,  cheerfiilness, 
social  affection,  and  health  of  mind  and 
body ;  that  evils  are  involved  only  in  its 
excess;  that,  like  food, study,  or  religious 
excitement,  it  it  is  only  wrong,  when  not 
properly  regulated;  and  that,  if  serious 
and  intelligent  people  would  strive  to 
regulate,  rather  than  banish,  this  amuse- 
ment, much  more  good  would  be  secured. 
On  the  other  side,  it  is   objected,   not 


that  dancing  is  a  sin,  in  itself  considered, 
for  it  was  once  a  part  of  sacred  worship; 
not  that  it  would  be  objectionable,  if  it 
were  properly  regulated ;  not  that  it  does 
not  tend,  when  used  in  a  proper  manner, 
to  health  of  body  and  mind,  to  grace  of 
mamiers,  and  to  social  enjoyment:  all 
these  things  are  oonceded.  But  it  is 
objected  to,  on  the  same  gi-ound  as  horse- 
racing,  card-playing,  and  theatrical  enter- 
tainments ;  that  we  are  to  look  at  amuse- 
ments as  they  are  and  not  as  they  might 
"be.  Horso-raoes  mig¥t  be  so  managed, 
as  not  to  involve  cruelty,  gambling, 
drunkenness,  aud  every  other  vice.  And 
so  might  theatres  and  cards.  And  if 
serious  and  intelligent  persons,  undertook 
to  patrt)nize  these,  in  order  to  regulate 
them,  perhaps  they  would  be  somewhat 
raised  from  the  depths,  to  which  they  are 
now  sunk.  But  such  persons,  know,  that, 
with  jhe  weak  sense  of  moral  obligation 
existing  in  the  mass  of  sociaty,  and  the 
imperfect  .ideas  mankind  have  of  the  pro- 
per use  of  amusements,  and  little  self 
coiitrol,  which  men,  or  women,  or  chil- 
dren, practise,  these  will  not,  in  fact,  be 
thus  regulated.  And  they,  believe  danc- 
ing to  be  liable  to  the  same  objections. 
As  this  recreation  is  actually  conduc- 
ted, it  does  not  tend  to  produce  health  of 
body  or  mind,  but  directly  the  contrary. 
If  young  and  old  went  out  to  dance  to- 
gether, in  the  open  air,  as  the  French 
peasants  do,  it  would  be  a  very  different 
sort  of  amusement,  from  that  which  is 
witnessed,  in  a  room,  furnished  with 
many  lights,  and  filled  with  guests,  bt>th 
exbending  the  healthful  part  of  the  atmos- 
phere,   where  the  young  collect,  in   their 


tightest  dresses,  to  protract,  for  several 
hours,  a  kind  of  physie^il  exertion,  which 
is  not  habitual  to  them.  During  this 
process,  the  blood  is  rajide  to  circulate 
more  swiftly  than  ordinary,  in  circum- 
stances where  it  is  less  perfectly  oxygeniz- 
ed than  health  requires ;  the  pores  of  the 
skin  are  excited  by  heat  and  exercise;  the 
stomach  is  loaded  with  indigestible  ar 
tides,  and  the  quiet,  needful  to  digestion, 
withhfeld;  the  diversion  is  protracted  be- 
yond the  usual  hour  for  repose;  and  then, 
when  the  skin  is  made  the  most  highly 
susceptible  to  damps  and  miasms,  the 
company  pass  from  a  warm  room  to  the 
cold  night-air.  It  is  probable,  that  no 
single  amusement  can  be  pointed  out, 
combining  so  many  injurious  particulars, 
as  this,  which  is  so  often  defended  as  a 
healthfiil  one.  Even  if  parents,  who 
train  their  children  to  dance,  can  keep 
them  from  public  balls,  (which  is  seldom 
the  case,)  dancing  in  private  parlors  is 
subject  to  nearly  all  the  same  raischevious 
influences. 

As  to  the  claim  of  social  benefits, — 
when  a  dancing-party  occupies  the  par- 
lors, and  the  music  begins,  most  of  the 
conversation     ceases ;  while    the  young 

ftrepare  for  future  sickness,   and  the   old 
ook  smilingly  on. 

As  to  the  claim  for  ease  and  grace  of 
manners, — all  that  is  gained,  by  this 
practice,  can  be  better  secured,  by  Calis- 
thenics, which,  in  all  its  parts,  embraces 
a  much  more  perfect  system,  both  of 
healthfiil  exercise,  graceful  movement, 
and  pleasing  carriage. 


Toothache. — This  frequently  arises 
from  sympathy  with  a  disordered 
stomach.  In  such  cases  administer  a  sa- 
line purgative,  and  an  emetic  if  required. 
When  cold  is  the  cause,  the  best  remedy 
is  a  hot  embrocation  of  poppy-heads,  fol- 
lowed by  the  use  of  flannel.  When  it 
arises  from  a  hollowed  or  decayed  tooth, 
the  best  application  is  a  piece  of  lint' 
moistened  with  creosote,  or  a  strong  spir- 
ituous solution  of  creosote,  and  closely 
rammed  into  the  cavity  of  the  tooth. — 
Laudanum  and  tincture  of  pellitory  of 
Spain  are  also  used  in  the  same  way. — 
To  prevent  the  recurrence  of  the  latter 
kind  of  toothache,  the  cavity  should  be 
filled  with  an  amalgam  of  gold,  or  with 
mineral  marmoratum.

at  the  examination  of  Mr.  laaao  Goldimith  at 
which  he  was  found  proficient  in  all  the  regu- 
lations of  our  ancient  appertaining  to  his  office, 
and  knowing  hiiu  to  be  a  strict  adherent  to  our 
institutions,  and  worthy  of  the  truat  reposed  in 
him,  give  it  as  our  opinion,  that  any  man  who 
tries  to  disparage  him,  in  his  occupation  as 
Shochat,  is  not  to  be  listened  to ;  for  he  oomes 
to  stir  up  contention  ;  he  does  not  oome  to  sup- 
port, but  to  injure  our  institutions,  and  thng 
bis  words  are  not  to  be  regarded.  In  ooroba* 
tion  of  our  testimony  we  sign  our  names.

Pure  water  from  the  rock  :

And  once  a  cradled  babe  did  float 
All  helpless  on  the  Kile.

•     Tkc  Carrier  Dore, 

The  Carrier  Dove  is  a  variety  of  the 
species  called  the  Stock  Dove.  There  is 
a  great  similarity  among  all  the  species 
and  varieties  of  this  genus  of  birds;  but 
it  is  not  very  diiRoult  to  tell  the  carrier 
doves  from  all  the  rest  of  the  family. 
They  are  distinguished  by  their  eyes^ 
whioh  are  encircled  by  a  broad  circle  of 
naked  white  skin,  and  are  of  a  dark  blue, 
or  blackish  color.  It  is  from  their  at- 
tachment to  their  native  place,  and  par- 
ticularly to  the  spot  in  whioh  they  havg 


reared  their  young,  that  these  birds  are  | 
employed  in  several  countries  as  the  most 
e  xpeditious  carriers. 

They  are  first  brought  from  the  place 
where  they  were  Vred,  and  whither  it  is 
intended  to  send  them  back  withjnforma- 
tion7  The  letteFTs  lied  under^The  bird^ 
wing,  and  it  is  then  lot  loose.  The  lit- 
tle animal  no  sooner  finds  itself  at  liberty 
than  its  passion  for  its  native  spot  directs 
all  its  motions.  It  is  seen,  upon  these 
occasions,  flying  directly  into  the  clouds 
to  an  amazing  height ;  and  then,  with 
the  greatest  certainty  and  oicactness,,  di- 
recting itself,  by  some  surprising  instinct 
toward  home,  which  lies  sometimes  at 
many  miles  distant.  By  what  marks 
they  discover  the  place,  by  what  chart 
they  are  guided  in  the  right  way,  is  to  us 
utterly  unknown ;  certain  it  is,  that  in 
the  space  of  an  hour  and  a  half,  they  per 
form  a  journey  of  forty  miles  ;  which  is 
a  degree  of  dispatch  three  times  greater 
than  the  fleetest  quadruped  can  per- 
form. 

These  birds  are  not  brought  up  at  pres- 
ent with  so  much  care  as  formerly,  when 
they  were  sent  from  governors  in  a  be- 
sieged city  to  generals  that  were  coming 
"TiO  relieve  it  without,  and  when  th©y  wertj 
sent  from  princes  to  their  subjects,  with 
the  tidings  of  some  fortunate  event.  Not 
a  year  ago,  however,  it  was  ascertained 
that,  in  some  mysterious  way,  at  every 
arrival  of  a  steamer  frorh  Great  Britain, 
the  news  respecting  the  state  of  the  mar- 
kets in  England  was  carried  ta  New 
York  and  Boston,  very  soon  afler  the 
vessel  touched  at  Halifax,  and  before  the 
express  established  for  the  purpose  could 
reach  tliese  cities.  The  thing  was  for 
some  time  a  great  mystery  ;  hut  it  was 
at  length  discovered  that  the  agents  of  the 
large  dealers  in  cotton,  flour,  and  other 
articles,  were  in  the  habit  of  employing 
persons  to  take  passage  in  these  steam 
ers,  from  England  to  this  country,  who 
had  carrier  doves  with  them.  When  the 
steamer  had  reached  the  American  coast, 
and  before  she  hjid  touched  at  her  wharf 
in  Halifax,  they  let  the  messengers  loose, 
with  a  letter  tied  imder  their  wings,  tell- 
ing as  much  about  the  state  of  the  mar- 
kets in  England  as  it  was  necessary  for 
the  merchants  to  know.  As  soon  as 
these  birds  received  their  liberty,  they 
flew  towards  their  home,  and  scarcely 
stopped  till  they  reached  it,  or  fell  down 
from  fatigue.  Several  of  them  were  found 
dead  (m  the  iray.  The  distance  was  too 
great  for  them.  They  flew  until  they  ex- 
hausted all  their  strength,  and  then  drop 
down  dead.  Of  course  this  smuggling 
business  was  stopped,  as  soon  as  the  cap- 
tain of  the  steamer  found  out  what  was 
going  on. 


Fourth.— TbAt  uuIms  the  punishment  inflicted 
be  of  such  a  nature,  or  to  such  an  extent  as 
weuld  justify  the  Courts  in  punishing  a  father 
for  inflicting  it  in  any  case  upon  his  child,  it  ii 
our  opinion,  that  any  interference  in  the  mattej 
on  their  part,  is  not  only  an  injury  to  thi 
schools,  but  a  usurpation  of  the  authority  of

A.  Special  Committee,  appointed  by  the 
Board  of  Eduction  to  determine  the  jurisdic- 
tion of  teachers  over  their  scholars  hare  laid 
down  the  following  rules,  which  were  adopted 
by  the  Board  : 

First.— Thht  the    teachers  of  the   Public 

Schools  have  full  jurisdiction  over  all  the  con< 

duet  of  their    pupils,  as]  well  out|  of   the 

school  as  iu  it ;  Mid  their  authority  should  be 

enforced,  in  all  cases  where  the  good  of  the 

schods  require  it. 

j^«coti(i.— The  teachers  of  the  Public  Schools 

hsTS  full  jurisdiction  over  the  conduct  of  their 

pnpili,  beth  during  school  hours  and  ^whlle  on 

their  way  to  and  from  schofl. 


this  Board,  who  are 
the  case,  and  appointed  for   that  special  pur- 
pose.—itfornmg  Call, 

In  the  diversity  of  opinion  that  exists 
on  the  subject  of  the  above  resolutions 
the  voice  of  the  following  two  experienced 
schoolmen  is  well  worthy  of  attention  it 
being  equally  applicable  to  the  parent  aiid 
teacher,  to  the  family  and  the  school,  Mr. 
Emerson  of  Massiichusetts,  in  "  The 
Shool  and  The  Schoolmaster,"  page  503 
expresses  his  opinion  in  the  following 
terms :  Is  corporal  punishment  allowable 
and  necessary?  Sometimes,  certainly. 
Order  must  exist.  Obedience  must  be 
given.  If  thehigher  motivcsfail,  recourse 
must  be  had  io  the  lower ;  and  if  they  fail, 
to  this,  the  lowest  of  all.  But  the  child 
on  whom  it  is  to  be  inflicted  must  be  in 
a  wretehedly  low  state ;  and  the  teacher 
who  habitually  has  recourse  to  it,  must 
be  considered  as  not  well  understanding 
the  principles  Or  the  duties  of  his  calling. 

The  author  of  an  excellent  production 
on  school  education,  Mr.  Charles  North- 
end  in  his  "  Teacher  and  Parent,"  writes 
as  follows:  But  how  shall  good  discipline 
be  secured^  I  answer,  vtwious  maasn  and 
appliances  must  be  resorted  to.  Individ- 
ual character  must  be  studied;  peculiar 
circumstances  must  be  investigated  and 
thoroughly  understood ;  and,  where  pun- 
ishment is  necessary,  its  nature  and  ex- 
tent should  be  modified  by  existing  cir- 
cumstances. The  same  discipline  will  no 
more  prove  of  equal  efficacy,  in  different 
cases,  than  a  similarity  of  treatment  in 
other  affairs  will  produce  a  uniformity  in 
results.  "Of  two  plants,  apparently 
alike,  and  nutured  with  equal  care,  one 
mav  flourish,  the  other  wither  and  die,— 
and  for  reasons  which  we  c^mnot  explain. 
Tlie  same  difliculy  increases,  aS  we  rise 
into  animal  life." 

We  ne.Ml  not  refer  the  reader  to  the 
book  of  Proverbs  which  says  "He  who 
withholds  the  rod,  hates  his  son,"  the 
necessity  of  application  of  corporeal  pun- 
ishment, in  cases  where  gentle  means  are 
not  sufficient  to  impress  to  obtuse  senses 
of  some  boys  will 'easily  be  admitted  by 
those  who  have  experience  in  the  sphere 
of  school  education.  Administered  on 
subjects,  occasions,  and  in  the  manner  in- 
wdicated  by  our  authority,  it  cannot  fail  to 
check  the  spirit  of  insubordination  so  pre- 
valent among  us  and  so  dangerous  to  the 
future  welfare  of  our  domestic  and  politi- 
cal existence. 


It  is  a  matter  of  the  Utmost  conse- 
quence that  the  most  exact  accounts 
should  have  been  preserved  of  the  crear 
tion,  and  many  prophecies  of  deepest  in"

history  of  Abraham  and  his  descendants

stances, changes,  and  conversations,  in 
many  different  countries";  could  scarcely 
have  been  perfectly  preserved  by  oral 
desciint  for  twenty  centuries,  unless  the 
ante'diluvians  and  their  immediate  poster- 
ity ||id  not  partake  of  the  failings  of 
other  men  in  the  defects  of  forgetfulness 
and  exaggeration  ;  but  allowing  the  art 
of  writing  to  have  be^n  given  with  laii- 
guage,  there  is  no  difficulty,  and  it  be- 
comes obvious  that  each  transaction 
would  be  recorded  and  kept  exactly  as  it 
was  either  revealed  or  happened. 

It  is  not  a  vain  thing  to  suppose  that 
the  history  of  creation,  and  all  following 
events ,  as  briefly  related  by  Moses,  were 
taken  from  ancient  documents  m  posses- 
sion of  the  Israelites.  The  gifts  of  in- 
spiration,  tiice  tnooo  oi  iiMturtj^  t»*^»-  ••• » •• 
superfluous.  When  God  had  once  reveal- 
ed to  the  Patriarchs  what  was  'in  the  be- 
ginning,' there  was  no  further  need  for  a 
new  revelation ;  and  the  Hebrew  histori- 
an might  compile  from  previous  records, 
what  was  sufficient  for  mankind  to  know 
respecting  the  origin  of  '  things  which  are 
seen.' 

In  the  fiflh  chapter  of  Genesis  it  is 
said,  '  This  is  the  book  of  the  generar 
tions.'  If  there  had  been  merely  a  trar 
ditionary  recollection  of  '  the  generations 
of  Adam,'  preserved  only  by  transmis- 
sion from  one  memory  to  another  ior 
more  than  a  thousand  years,  the  term 
book  would  have  been  most  inapplicable) 
and  could  not  have  been  used.

ANCIENT  BOOKS  I 


[cONTINtTKD    FROM  PAGE  324.] 

We  have  spoken  in  our  last  number  of 
tlie  ancient  wooden  tablets;  the  stylus, 
and  its  double  use — the  pointed  end  to 
trace  letters,  and  the  broad  end  to  oblite- 
rate matter  when  required,  by  spreading 
the  wax  back  again  over  the  tablet  so  as 
to  render  it  fit  to  receive  other  words. — 
W-^  also  meiitioned  the  dot  or  button  on 
reach  lest  to  prevent  the  pages  from  con- 
tact when  the  book  was  closed. 

Such  tablets  of  wood  were  in  use  long 
before  die  time  of  Homer,  who  lived  150 
years  before  Isaiah ;  and  Home  thinks  it 
lughly  probable  that  several  of  the  proph- 
ets wrote  upen  tablets  of  wood,  or  some 
similar  material.     Compare  Isa.  xxx.  8.: 

"Now  go  and  write  it  before  them  on  a  tab* 
Itt,  and  note  it  in  a  book,  that  it  may  be  for 
the  time  to  oome." 

And  llabakkuk  ii.  2.: 

"And  the  Lord  answered  me  and  aaid :  write 
ti>s  vision,  and  make  it  plain  upon  tablets, 
thst  he  who  readeth  it  may  run.  [That  he 
Bay  make  speed  to  save  his  life  from  the  irrupo 
tion  of  the  Chaldeans,  by  whieh  so  many  shall 
!)•  cut  off."] 

They  were  not  wholly  disused  in  Eu- 
rope until  the  fourteenth  ceutury;  and 
arc  still  employed  in  North  Africa,  Wes- 
tern Asia  and  Greece.  The  leaves  of 
these  tablet-books,  whether  of  wood,  me- 
tal, or  ivory,  were  connected  together  by 
rings  at  the  back,  through  which  a  rod 
was  passed,  that  served  as  a  handle  to 
carry  them  by.     [See   wood-cut  in  our 


applied  to  books  very  different  from  rolls. 
In  using  the  roll,  the  reader  unrolled  it  to 
the  place  he  wanted,  /Ittnd  rolled  it  up 
again  when  he  had  read  it.  The  book  of 
the  law,  written  on  parchment,  is  thus 
rolled  and  thus  read  in  the  Jewish  syna- 
gogues at  the  present  time.  We  do  not 
know  that  rolls  of  bark  are  mentioned  in 
the  Scripture,  but  it  does  not  therefore 
follow  that  they  were  not  known  to  the 
Jews. '-

2.    BARK    OF   TREBS.  ^ 

The  fine  inner  bark  of  such  trees  as  the 
Mme,  ash,  maple,  or  elm,  was  evly  used 
as  a  substance  for  writing. 

For  as  our  English  word  book  comes 
from  beech,  German  buche,  oh  account  of 
the  ancient  Gern^ans  having  used  the 
beach  wood  as  material  to  write  on,  so 
came  the  Latin  word  liber,  which,  in  its 
primary  signification  means,  inner  bark, 
and  hence  bark  in  general,  to  be  applied 
to  all  kinds  of  books.     It  is  thus  interest- 


ing to  know  that  the  words  liber  wid  book 
— words  so  widely  in  use — were  both  ta- 
ken from  the  material  on  which  the  an- 
cients used  to  write,  and  that  the  material 
was  furnished  from  the  vegetable  king- 
dom. 

These  books,  like  all  others  of  flex- 
ible materials,  were  rolled  up  to  ren- 
der them  portable  and  to  preserve 
the  writing.  They  were  usually  roll- 
ed round  a  stick  or  cylmder;  and  if 
they  were  long,  round  two  cylinders. — 
Hence  the  name  volume  (wolumen) — a 
thing  rolled  up — which   continues   to  bo 


3.     LBAVKB    OF   TREBS. 

Pliny  thinks  that  the  most  early  sub- 
f^Uice  for  writing  was  the  leaf  of  the  palm 
tree;  meaning,  we  presume,  the  first  flex- 
ible substance.  Be  this  as  it  may,  the 
process  is  certainly  of  very  remote  anti- 
quity; and  would  bo  naturally  suggested 
by  its  being  perceived  how  readily  par- 
ticular leaves  received  and  retained  marks 
made  by  a  pointed  instrument.  At  this 
day,  books  made  with  the  leaves  of  dif- 
ferent trees  are  common  among  the  In- 
dian nations,  and  specimens  of  them  are 
numerous  in  museums.  The  palmyra 
leaf  is  that  which  is  most  generally  used; 
but  others  are  preferred  in  some  parts,  as 
those  of  the  talipot-tree,  in  CJeylon,  on  ac- 
count of  its  superior  breadth  and  thick- 
ness. The  letters  are  written,  or  rather 
engraved,  with  a  fine  pointed  style,  or  sort 
of  bodkin;  and  the  writing  is  afterwards 
rubbed  over  with  a  composition  of  oil 
and  pulverized  charcoal,  whieh  render* 
the  characters  distinct  and  permanent. 

4.    PAPYRUS. 

This  was  a  vegetable  tissue,  the  manu- 
facture of  which  originated  and  was,  in  a 
great  d^ree,  peculiar  to  ISgypt.  It  is 
obtained  from  a  bulrush  (  Cyperus  papy- 
rus, Linn.)  which  grew  in  the  swamps  of 
the  Nile  to  the  height  of  ton  or  fifteen 
feet.  The  parts  used  in  making  the  papy- 
rus were  the  thin  concentric  coats  or  pel- 
licles that  surround  the  triangular  stalk  ; 
those  nearest  the  centre  beiflg  tbe  iNllt 
and  finest.  A  layer  of  these  wa*  laid  oit 
lengthwise  on  a  board,  and  another  layer 
pasted  over  it  crosswise;  and  after  beij^; 
pressed  and  dried  in  the  sun,  the  sheet  was 
completed  by  the  surface  being  polished 
with  a  shell,  or  other  hard  and  smooth 
substance.  A  number  of  these  sheets

InterMtlng  Oonflrmatioii' 

The  Temple  of  the  Omsistory  of  Paris 
presenteci  a  highly  interesting  sjptitttcle, 
last  r)}^!^^/,  (Shebouoth)— <"»e  Initwlred 
and  fifty  children  reoeiveftignfirmatiooon" 
that  day.  There  W6n<  i|»l*Bd  near  the 
choir  three  gigWJtic  triumphal  aiches,  oo- 
vered  with  follag*  and  artificial  flowers ; 
ftipv  varfi  nrtiamihtfffi  yith  ^cHtcheona, 
bewiiig  apprDjM-Ulte  inecriptlons.  in  the 
ci'iitre  of  these  atdh/iB  were  suspended 
three  (TownB:  th*  crown  of  the  law,  tjiat 
of  the  printhood,  and  above  them,  that  of 
(food  rej^itUttion.  A  fourth  crown,  thatof 
royjilty, Was  placed  on  the  Sepher,  from 
which,  on  that  day  was  read  the  ptussuge: 
"  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  kingdom  of 
priests  and  a  holy  nation." 

I'ropcr  seats  were  reserved  for  the  par 
rent*  of  the  children  that  were  to  receive 
cHHifiniuition ;  among  the  former,  were 
Baidii  and  Madame  iiothschild,  who  had 
a  grandchild  initiated  that  day. 

At  three  o'clock,  eighty  young  girls,  all 
4lre8*<d  in  white,  entered  the  templn,  un- 
der the  swelling  sound  of  the  organ,  and 
took  their  seats.    , 

Upon  this  entered  si.xty  boys,  all  dress- 
ed in  black  suits. 

The  gnuid  rabbi  took  his  seat  bi  a  se- 
dan, before  the  Thebah  (rostrum  :)  apul- 

garnished  with  gold  fringes,  stood  before 
him.  This  tribune  had  a  marvelous  effect 
amid  the  flowers  which  surrounded  it  on 
all  sides.  After  the  salutation  of  the 
children  by  the  rabbi,  they  pronounced  in 
Hebrew  and  French,  the  130  no. 

"  How  g(K)dly  are  thy  tents,  O,  Jacob, 
thy  sanctuaries,  O,  Israel;  by  thy  great 
mercy  we  onjer  thy  house,  in  awe  before 
thee,  wo  prostrate  ourselves  before  thy 
holy  temple." 

Thereupon  followed  the  decalogue,  the 
>'0»,  (Shema) — "Hear  O  Israel,  the  Lord 
our  God  is  one" — and  the  thirteen  arti- 
cles of  faith. 

The  grand  nibbi  delivered  an  address. 
Aftef  the  ccrmony,  the  children  left  the 
temple  in  the  same  order  in  which  they 
had  entered  it. 

May  the  impressions  made  upon  thorn 
that  day,  continue  their  beneficial  effect 
for  years  to  come.  jJL&y  they  remind 
parents  and  children  of  the  great  trust 
committed  to  us  with  tho  gifts  of  life  and 
soul ;  and  may  they  both  Icam  that  man 
has  a  more  serious  task  to  perform  than 
wheeling  about  in  tho  ruijious  eddy  of 
physical  pleasures,  or  racing  incessantly 
after  temporal  gain.

Narrow  Esoapk.— Mr.  Lewis  Franklin,  of 
San  Diego,  bad  a  narrow  escape  with  bis  life. 
Standiog,  aboat  a  fortnight  ago,  in  conversa- 
tion with  a  gentleman  in  a  store  which  he  is 
fitting  np,  at  San  Diego,  a  ruffian  entered  the 
p!ace,  and  cat  the- gentleman  with  whom  Mr. 
F.  WM  convening  so  badly,  that  his  arm  had 
to  be  ampatated.  The  intruder  then  made  an 
attack  on  Mr.  F.,  infliotiof  a  deep  flesh  woond, 
andjast  grazing  the  skin  of  his  stomach.  As 
life  is  the  gift  of  heaven,  for  our  improvement, 
we  congfratulate  Mr.  F.  at  his  reprieve,  and 
wish  that  he  may  be  preserved  to  become  a 
scarce  of  happiness  to  others,  and  thu  to  him- 
self.

We  particularly  appeal  to  our  readers  in

M  ««]t  in  your  Vbetf.    - 

Tboiuh  Mltifl  •  AQOStituent  of  oiott  of 
nur  foooa  and  drinks,  we  do  not,  .In  this 
way,  obtain  ft  aufficient  supply  of  it  U) 
•atiaf^  the  wMit9  of  the  system  ;  and  na- 
ture naa  aooorditigly  furnished  us  with  an 
t^petite  for  it.  The  salt,  therefore,  which 
we  oonsume  at  our  table  as  a  condiment, 
in  reality  serves  other  and  far  more  im- 
portant purposes  in  the  animal  economy, 

than  that  <^f  mT^'^y  grn-rifying  \h^  palate. 
It  is  a  necessary  article  of  food,  being 
essential  for  the  preservation  of  health 
and  the  maintenance  of  life. 

It  forms  an  esst-ntial  constituent  of 
blood,  which  fluid  doubtless  owee  many 
of  it«  important  q\ia]ities  to  it.  Tbu^  it 
probably  contributes  to  kee^  the  blood 
corpuscles  unchaDg<^d;  for  when  these  are 
put  into  water,  a  powerful  and  rapid  so- 
lutioti  takes  place,  inconsequenoeof  which 
they  swell  up  and  assume  a  globular  form; 
whereas  in  a  weak  solution  of  salt,  they 
remain  unchanged.  In  malignant  chole^- 
ra,  and  some  other  diseases  in  which  there 
is  a  deficiency  of  the  saline  ingredients  of 
the  blood,  this  fluid  has  a  very  da^k  or 
even  black  appearance ;  whence  it  has 
been  assumed  by  some  writers  that  the 
red  color  of  the  blood  is  dependent  on  the 
presence  of  its  saline  ingredients,  From 
the  salt  of  the  blood,  aided  by  water,  the 
gastric  juice  derives  its  hydrochloric  acid, 
and  the  blood  and  the  bile  their  soda, 
both  so  necessary  to  the  preservation  of 
health. 

It  has  been  calculated  that  the  average 
annual  consumption  of  salt  by  an  adult 
antountH  W  \&  Vd^\  i6(^asX  to  about  5 
ounces  per  week. 

For  table  use,  for  salting  butter,  and 
for  various  domestic  purposes,  the  small 
grained  salt  is  preferred.  It  is  also  em- 
ployed for  making  the  pickle  for  ttriking 
the  meat,  which  is  the  first  part  of  the 
process  in  curing  fish  and  preserving  jini- 
mal  flesh.  The  coarse  or  large  grained 
salt  is  preferred  for  the  packing  and  pre- 
servation of  fish  and  other  provisions. — 
For  these  purposes  it  is  greatly  superior 
to  the  small  grained  salt :  hence  it  is  tech- 
nically termed  a  stronger  salt.  Its  supe- 
riority depends,  not  on  any  difference  in 
its  chemical  composition,  but  on  its  great- 
er cohesiveness  and  hardness  of  texture, 
whereby  it  dissolves  much  less  readily. 

As  salt  is  antiseptic  (resists  putrefac- 
tion) in  lifeless  organized  bodies,  so  it  is 
to  the  living  organism.  It  will  bring  vi- 
tality and  vivacity  the  system,  which  oth- 
erwise would  feel  languishing.  Dyspep- 
tics, who  generally  feel  an  unpleasant 
taste  in  their  mouth,  can  remove  it  by 
taking  a  small  quantity  of  table  salt.— 
We,  therefore,  recommend  a  moderate^  use 
of  salt  as  a  preservative  of  health.

CbR«  FOR  Dybkntbbt. — As  the  season, 
is  at  hand  when,all  elasses  are  liable  tu 
bo  afflicted  with  dysentery,  diarrha,  <Jw., 
we  deem  it  our  duty  to  make  public  the 
folkjwing  simple  and  eifficacious  remedy 
which  has  been  known  to  us  for  several 
years,  and  which  we  hhve  repeatedly  used 
with  complete  success : 

It  is  simply  to  take  a  tumble  of  coid 
water,  thicken  it  with  wheat  flour,  to 
about  the  consistency  of  cream,  and  drink 
it.  This  is  to  be  repeated  several  times 
in  the.  course  of  the  day,  or  as  often  as 
you  are  thirsty,  and  it  is  not  very  likely 
that  you  will  need  it  on  the  second  day. 
We  Mve  not  puiy  used  it  in  our  case,  but 
have  recommended  it  to  our  friends  in 
many  instances,  and  we  never  knew  it 
to  fail  in  effecting  a  speedy  cure,  even  in 
the  worst  stages  of  dysentery.  It  is  * 
simple  remedy,  and  costs  little. — Farmr-

Thomas  E.  Finlrt,  of  this  city,  is  onr  trav- 
eling a^ent,  and  is  authorized  to  receive  sub-

All  moneys  paid  to  him  by  subscribers  and

Continutd  from  Page  321 
determined  by  the  length  of  the  slips  ta- 
ken from  the  plant;  but  the  length  might 
of  course  bo  carried  to  almost  any  ex- 
tent. The  largest  that  has  yet  been  found 
is  thirty  feet  long.  The  writing,  as  in  all 
rolls  of  whatever  material,  is  not  across 
the  length  or  breiidth  of  the  roll,  but  in 
«)lumn8,  extended  in  the  direction  of  the 
roll's  breadth,  with  a  blank  strip  between 
them,  as  may  be  seen  in  the  cut  we  have 
given.  Many  such  rolls  have  been  found 
In  Egypt,  in  mummy  cases  and  eartheiii 
vessels,  and  many  also  in  the  houses  ex- 
cavated at  HercuFaneum.  The  former, 
thongh  more  ancient,  are  better  preserved 
and  more  easily  unrolled  than  the  latter, 
which  have  suffered  from  the  action  of 
heat.  The  superiority  of  the  papyrus  to 
all  other  materials  previously  known, 
brought  it  speedily  into  general  use,  for 
books,  among  the  western  civilized  na- 
tions; and  it  must,  in  the  time  of  the 
Apocrypha  and  New  Testament,  have 
been  well  known  to  the  Jews.  Indeed  it 
may  probably  enough  have  been  known 
to  the  prophets ;  for  although  the  common 
account  makes  the  discovery  posterior  to 
the  foundation  of  Alexandria,  this  must 
be  an  error;  since  it  was  extensively  used 
and  formed  an  article  of  export  from 
Egypt  in  the  time  of  Herodotus,  whose 
visit  to  that  country  was  more  than  a  cen- 
tury prior  to  the  foundation  of  Alexan- 
dria. 

Our  wood-cut,  to  which  we  have  re- 
ferred already,  exhibits  an  Egyptian  roll, 
and  others  at  Herculaneum,  in  various  il- 
lustrative circumstances — some  unrolled, 
some  closed,  and  others  in  the  boxes  in 
which  they  were  usually  kept,  several  to- 
gether, deposited  vertically,  and  ticketed 
at  the  upper  extremity  with  their  titles. 

5.    LINKM. 

The  use  of  linen,  as  a  substance  for 
writing  on,  is  allowed  to  have  beer^  long 
prior  to  the  invention  of  papyrus.  In- 
deed, it  is  evident  that  when  men  had  in- 
vented linen  cloth  for  dress,  and  after, 
wards  began  to  feel  the  need  of  a  flexible 
and  durable  material  for  writiug,  it  would 


naturally  occur  to  tSiem,  that,  tf  their 
linen  oould  be  so  prepared  as  to  receive 
and  retalA  the  characters,  it  would  be  more 
oonveDient  to  form  a  portable  book  than 
any  substance  previously  known.  TTiey 
soon  found  how  to  adapt  their  tissues  to 
this  puiTpose  by  printirig  or pamtrng  tlieTn 
all  over,  before  they  began  to  write,  the 
writing  itself  being  also  rather  painted 
than  written,  for  the  inks  of  antiquity 
were  rather  paints  than  inks,  containing 
no  mordant  to  give  them  durability;  re- 
sembling in  this,  the  inks  now  used  m  the 
East.  That  such  writing  was  known  to 
the  ancient  Egyptians,  we  know  from  the 
written  bandages  which  are  sometimes 
found  on  mummies.  Litien  books  are 
mentioned  by  Pliny  and  Vopiscus;  and 
Livy  speaks  of  such  books  that  were  found 
in  the  temple  •(  Moneta.  The  obvious 
character  of  the  resource  i^also  indicated 
by  the  fact,  that  the  pictorial  epistles  of 
the  Mexicans  were  painted  on  a  cotton 
tissue.  The  use  of  linen  was  certainly 
knox^-n  to  the  Jews  in  the  time  of  Moses, 
the  priestly  robes  being  principally  of 
that  material ;  and  there  are  Biblical  schol- 
ars who  think  that  the  original  of  the 
PeuUiteuch  and  the  other  books  of  the  Old 
Testament  were  written  on  rolls  of  linen. 
ITie  question  is  certainly  open  to  investi- 
gation, as  rolls  only  are  mentioned  in  a 
general  sense,  without  our  being  informed 
uf  what  they  were  composed.  Our  own 
impression  certainly  is,  that  when  a  "roll" 
(nSjD,  megillah,)  or  "book"  {-yoo, sepher) 
is  mentioned,  we  are  to  understand  that 
it  was  either  of  linen,  or  of  the  skins  of 
animals — sometimes,  perhaps,  the  one, 
and  sometimes  the  other.

MVRYSVILLK,  Oct.  18th,  1857. 

Editor- Glkaner: — As  your  Gleaner 
is  devoted  principally  to  the  affairs  of  our 
Nation,  I  therefore  take  this  opportunity 
to  communicate  to  you  the  following : — 

Sometime  in  April  last,  the  public 
press  gave  an  article  from  Hanover, 
Germany,  stating  that  the  king  was  ini- 
tiated into  the  Order  of  Freemasons, 
and  at  the  same  time  elected  Grand  Pro. 
tector  of  all  Hanoveranien  Lodges,  on 
which  occasion  the  royal  protector  or- 
dered an  alteration  in  the  Constitution, 
excluding  all  those  who  profess  Judaism, 
from  the  order,  as  Freemasonry  is  a 
strict  "Christian Institution." 

Of  course,  I  had  it  not  in  my  power  to 
correct  the  christian  Grand  Protector,  the 
king  <jf  Hanover,  of  his  ignorance,  yet, 
I  started  a  petition  in  the  most  honorable 
Grand  Lodge  of  Freemasons  in  this 
State,  which  was  signed  by  some  twelve 
or  fifteen  of  our  eo-religionists,  praying 
therein  for  some  action  to  be  taken  by 
that  worshipful  body  for  the  better  pro- 
tection of  our  sacred  right. 

The  efiect  which  our  petition  had,  you 
will  see  by  the  following  extract  from 
the  proceedings  of  the  G.  L.  of  the  State 
of  California,  page  109  : 

"  Bro.  A.  G.  Abell,  from  the  Commit- 
tee on  foreign  correspondence,  presented 
the  following  Report: 

To  the  M.  W.  Grand  Lodge  of  Call 
fornia: — Your  Committee  to  whom  was 
referred  the  memorial  of  certain  breth- 
ren of  the  Jewish  faith  residing  in  Marys- 


ville,  J)rayiiig  Aat  thia  €^.   L.  may   ejf- 

press  some  opinion  relative  to  the  recent 
alleged^tion  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of 
Hanover,  by  which  it  is  declared  that 
Masonry  is  strictly  a  Christian  Instiution, 
beg  leave  to  report  that  the  body  has, 
through  ito  Ootnmittee  on  foreign  oorrea 
pondcnoe,  sufficiently  set  forth  their 
opinion  upon  that  subject  during  the 
past  three  years.  And  it  is  only  reitera 
ting  that  opinion  to  say  that  Masonry  is 
not  only  not  especially  a  Christian  order, 
but  that  it  is  not  a  religious  one  at  all ; 
except  in  so  far  as  it  requires  a  belief  in 
the  existence  and  omnipotence  of  a  Su- 
preme Being.  All  of  which  is  respect- 
fully submitted.  Alkx.  G.  Abkll, 
Chairman  of  the  Com.  onCorres," 

The  above  Report  was  received  and 
concurred  in. 

Now,  Sir,  you  will  see  that  our  Grand 
Lodge,  with  that  truth  which  Masonry 
teach*8,  and  certainly  ought  to  exercise, 
has  done  her  duty  ;  but  strange  must  it 
appear,  that  all  the  Jewish  masons 
throtighout  the  State  have  not  petitioned 
in  the  same  sense ;  as  it  is  the  duty  of 
every  one  to  repulse  when  attacked. — 
You  will  also  find  a  very  interesting  ar- 
ticle upon  the  smrie  »tibjeefc  Oft  page  3ft 
in  the  proceedings  of  the  G.  L.  of  Cali- 
fornia, '57,  contained  in  a  report  from 
the  G.  L.  of  the  State  of  Alabama,  and 
such  proceedings  you  may  easily  get  at 
anv  Lodge.  I  would  have  communicated 
this  fact  to  you  long  ago,  had  it  been 
possible  for  me  to  obtain  said  proceed- 
ings. 

If  you  will  not  object,  I    will   trouble 

you  some  time  with  more  communica- 
tions, on  this  and  other  subjects.  Mean- 
while, I  remain 

Yours  Yery  Respectfully, 

A.  Englandbv. 
In  commending  the  zeal  of  our  corres- 
pondent, we  inform  him  that  this  subject, 
as  also  the  wrongs  of  Switzerland,  have 
been  taken  up  by  our  Eastern  press,  as 
also  by  that  of  Europe.  We  nevertheless, 
shall  be  glad  to  yield  space  to  any  future 
communication  on  this  or  any  other  sub- 
ject relative  to  our  interests. 


Reli{^ious  Instructions. 

Important  to  Parents. — Pressed  as 
we  are  for  time,  still,  considering  the  ne- 
cessity of  our  children  receiving  religious 
impressions,  and  views  of  religion  and  its 
development  that  will  be  proof  against 
the  refrigerant  influences  of  our  age,  we 
cannot  avoid  devoting  a  portion  of  our 
time  to  this  sacred  occupation.  We 
therefore,  again  Invite  our  children  to  our 
religious  instruction  on  Saturday  and 
Sunday  at  10  o'clock,  at  cur  office,  133 
Clay  street. 


Recapturk. — CSiarles  Nevil^  the  man 
who  attempted  to  commit  murder  and 
rob  Mr.  Isaac  Rich,  on  the  5th  of  last 
March,  in  the  town  of  Alpha,  near  Neva- 
da, has  been  recaptured  in  Shasta  county 
and  lodged  in  jail.  It  will  be  remember- 
ed that  this  man  escaped  from  Nevada 
jail  shortly  after  his  arrest,  and  has  ever 
since  been  at  lai^e. 


It  is  more  disgraceful  to  distrust  one's 
friends  than  to  be  deceived  by  them. 

How  can  we  expect  another  to  keep  our 
secret  if  we  cannot  keep  it  ourselees  ?

We  again,  reluctantly,  muit  fpeak  a  few 
words  on  a  subject,  on  which  too  much,  as  we 
thought,  has  b«en  spoken  already. 

The  above  is  a  protest  against  mi*  of  our  sd- 
vertisers,  Mr.  B.  Jacobson,  who  arrived  here 
lately,  and  who — not  oonsideriog  thatoorSho 
chat  has  been  here  as  many  years  aa  Mr.  J. 
has  weeks  taking  no  notice  that  four  Shoch«i 
tim,  of  whom  none  knew  less  than  Mr.  J.,  ^e» 
clared  our  Shochat  a  proficient;  contradicting 
our  sUtemeot  to  the  same  eflFect,  to  which  w«r« 
added  four  ether  names,   to   be  found'  in  a  do« 

tice  in  these  colnmns.     ',  we  regret,  m  » 

stranger,   has  quit*  forgot  himself,   when  h» 
exclairueth — 

Tj;  'DDHI  '3H 

"I,  and  none  else." 

We  refused  to  be  one  of  the  committee  U>»« 
publishes  the  adrertisement  before  us,  aa  thsre 
is  Do  need  for  a  protest. 

The  postscript  blames  us  for  opening  the  eol 
nmns  of  the  " Gleaner"  to  such  an  advertis*' 
ment;  but  the  writers  do  not  consider,  th»t 
had  we  refused  the  insertion,  we  would  hsT« 
bad  another  adTertisement  in  our  oity  psperi, 
offering  religious  performances  m  the  market, 
to  our  scandal;  and  we  have  had  enough  Ms 
ready.  We,  therefore,  admiUed  the  advertiie- 
ment,  and  merely  acooropabied  it  by  one  Iin». 

However,  aa  we  wish  to  close,  at  once,  the 
Bhochtim  question,  for  which  in  thu  State,  but 
very,  very  few  care,  our  advertiser,  as  a  Sho- 
chat, ought  to  have  known  that  certiCcatee,  0' 
which  the  latest  given  by  an  authorized  rabbi, 
ia  dated  seven  years  back,  are  of  no  Talue  in 
any  other  country,  much  less  in  the  Uniteu 
States.  As  for  a  testimonial  of  a  rabbi  of  Lon^ 
don,  dated  so  far  back,  th«  Right  Reverend 
Alexander,  Bishop  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
ehnreh  of  Jerusalem,  has  had  such  from  s 
rabbi  of  London,  less  superanuated,  and  sure^ 
ly,  little  as  is  oared  here  about  Shochtim  and 
their  Shechit«b,  the  oertifiioate  could  not  even 
make  the  bishop  of  the  Protestant  Epie«op»te 
of  Jerusalem  Bhoohet  of  the  indifferent  city  ol 

Ban  Francisco. 

We  regret  that  Mr.  Jacobson  has  not  taken 
differint  tneasures  to  gain  the  coafidence  oi 
his  fellow-cilixens,  than  to  assnns  authority, 
and  commit  an  act  of  indiscretion.

1  Remain  Tonrs  truly  B.  L, 


Reply  to  the  Communioation  of  E.  L., 
of  8 

We  would  have  preferred  not  to  pub- 
lish the  above  communioatiou ;  as  we 
think  the  matter  too  trivial  to  enlarge  so 
much  about  it.  However,  as  this  com- 
munication is  addressed  to  ourselves,  and 
%  a  gentleman  whose  influence  among 
the  people  of  S.  is  great,  notwithstand- 
ing his  not  having  been  able  to  persevere 
in  the  instance  before  us,  to  avoid  being 
misunderstood  in  this,  as  in  several 
instances,  we  give  the  letter  literatim,  with 
the  omission  of  local  and  personal  names, 
as  also  of  a  reference  to  a  gentleman  be- 
sides Dr.  Adler,  to  whom  the  writer  sup- 
poses us  to  have  referred,  and  of  one  word 
which  we  thought  too  hard. 

We  commend  the  zeal  of  our  corres- 
pondent, tJioogh  it  is  misdirected;  for, 
according  to  our  regulations,  we  are  obli- 
ged to  give  burial  to  any  bom  Israelite, 
however  far  he  may  have  ]|^ wandered 
from  us;  and  the  maxim  is,  nanvt  'fi  by  «)K 
:  wn  hvrwr  "Though  he  has  erred,  he  still 
is  an  Israelite." 

From  the  communication,  it  appears 
that  onr  eorreepondent  has  not  had  our 
letter,  to  which  he  refers,  before  him. — 
We  do  not  think  the  questicn  so  difficult, 
or  important,  nor  ourself  quite  so  unim- 
portant, to  have  need  for  an  appeal — 
common  sense,  humanity,  and  our  regula- 
tions, impose  it  as  a  duty  upon  us  to  allow 


the  remains  of  the  deceased  in  question 
to  be  interred  among  us. «  We,  siuoe 
eight  years,  have  laid  our  opmions,  inde- 
pendently before  our  colleagues  in  more 
important  matters, and  oould  not,  in  so  tri- 
vial and  plain  a  case,  refer  to  Dr.  Adler. 

Hie  factisasfoTIow^:  SomesixmontJis 
ago,  we  received  a  letter  stating  that  a 
citizen  of  S.,  who  had  been  married  to  a 
Christian;  who  never  associated  with  his 
people,  who  had  not  lived  according  to 
our  laws,  and  who  had  not  had  his  child 
introduced  into  the  Covenant  of  Abra- 
ham, died  some  two  years  ago.  His  vrife 
had  him  interred  in  the  city  cemetery ; 
that  now,  afler  the  expiration  of  so  many 
months,  a  brother  of  the  deceased,  who 
had  lately  arrived  to  this  State,  urgently 
requested  to  have  the  remains  removed 
to  the  Jewish  burial  ground ;  that  the 
opinion  of  the  members  of  the  Benevo- 
lent Society  was  divided  upon  the  subject; 
that  ".  they  had  quite  a  discourse  about 
it;"  that  we  were  to  tell  them  how  to  act. 
To  this  we  replied  by  a  letter  headed  by 
the  motto — yi-ii  nj'^n  Sk.  "  Do  not  con- 
tend on  the  way." — Gen.  14.  24. 

We  stated :  that  it  speaks  well  for  the 
young  society  to  refer  to  our  customs, 
and  not  to  proceed  with  'a  high  hand  to 
settle  the  matter  by  vote ;  that  since  the 
deceased  did  not  associate  with  his  people 
in  his  life  time,  nor  made  any  an-ange- 
ment  to  be  joined  with  them  in  death; 
and  that  since  the  wife  of  the  doxieased 
had  disposed  of  him  as  she  did,  the  broth- 
er had  no  right  to  interfere ;  and  that  they 
should  allow  matters  to  rest  as  they  were. 

Such  was  our  advice  then. 

But  the  aspect  of  matters  has  changed 
since  that  time. 

It  is  now  the  wife  of  the  deceased  who 
joins  in  the  request,  on  the  plea  of  the 
lots  having  b^en  donated  to  the  society 
by  the  city  for  a  Jewish  burial  ground, 
and  her  deceased  husband  having  been  a 
Jew,  he  ought  to  have  been  buried  among 
them.  She  is  the  more  anxious  to  have 
the  body  deposited  there,  on  account  of 
herself  and  her  children,  as  she  wishes  to 
join  the  synagogue. 

Under  these  circums|ance8,  we  were  re- 
quested to  advise  the  society  to  give  in- 
terment to  the  relic.  This  wo  did,  in  the 
expectation  that  no  member  of  a  Jewish 
society  can  object  to  submit  to  Jewish 
regulations.  ^ 

But  on  hearing  that  the  question  was 
to  be  put  to  t^e  vote,  and  that,  as  usual, 
party  spirit  began  to  rage  among  the  peo- 
ple of  S.,  we,  in  a  letter,  advised  them  by 
no  means  to  vote,  but  to  submit  to  our 
laws;  and  if  they  were  not  satisfied  with 
our  decision,  to  address  themselves  to 
some  rabbles  of  the  Atlantic  States  or 
Europe,  well  knowing  that  no  honest 
rabbi  will  refuse  the  burial. 

Upon  this,  our  advice,  we  received  the 
above  communication.  We  regret  that 
there  should  be  so  much  excitement  about 
a  matter  which,  in  other  places  where  it 
occurred,  caused  no  difflculty  at  all.  , 

We,  by  no  means  wish  to  appear  here 
as  an  apologist;  but  it  is  the  principle 
which  we  wish  to  defend.  To  what  must 
religious  matters  come,  if  every  man  who 
pays  fifty  cents  a  mouth,  will  institute 
himself  a  Judge  in  Israel,  and  jud^c  the 
living  and  the  dead  1 

Let  us  now  see  the  objections  to  giving 
burial  in  the  case  before  us: 


1.  ''The  deceased  did  not  aaaociaite 
with  his  people." 

Hiis  is  no  insurmountable  objection, 
in  social  life,  we  choose  our  associates  by 
interest  and  tastes,  and  not  by  creeds, 
and  no  man  has  a  right  to  exercise 
jurisdiction  npon  as  011  that  aoootmi;  indr 
as  to  religious  communion,  if  the  deceased 
did  not  join  your  religious  meetings 
on  Neyui^^sr  day  and  the  day  of  Atone- 
ment, by  this  omission  he  did  not  forfeit 
his  claim  of  belonging  to  us.  We  have 
given  an  instance  in  the  (gleaner.  No.  19, 
of  an  eminently  pious  man,  who  spent 
the  day  of  Atonement  in  his  own  study, 
and  we  know  truly  religious  men  here, 
who  do  not  join  in  the  service  even  on  that 
dajjf.  Nor  is  the  fact  of  the  deceased's  not 
introducing  the  child  into  the  synagogue 
sufiicient  ground  for  his  forfeiting  his 
claims  to  Israel ;  as  according  to  our  reg- 
ulations, the  children  belong  to  the 
church  to  which  the  mother's  belong. 

Nor  need  the  fact  of  his  having  been 
interred  with  the  assent  of  his  wife  in 
the  city  burial  ground,  be  an  objection  to 
his  now  being  admitted  to  our  ground. — 
The  question  is,  where  ought  he  to  have 
been  buried? 

Nor  does  tHe  fact  of  a  Jew  marrying  a 
Gentile,  wrong  as  it  is,  exclude  him  from 
our  communion.  We  have  instances  of 
greater  personages,  whose  names  we  for- 
bear mentioning  for  good  reasons,  [the 
Bible  reader  will  know  to  what  personali- 
ties we  refer,]  who  did  worse — who  mar- 
ried heathens,  and  sacrificed  to  their  idols; 

and  surely,  had  they  died  in  S ,  you 

would  have  been  proud  to  have  given  them 
l^urial  in  your  ground. 

It  is  withal  a  miserable  state  of  affairs, 
to  commence  being  particular  with  the 
dead :  it  is  with  the  living  we  ought  to 
commence  our  religion. 

In  1848,  the  Jews  who  fell  in  Vienna 
and  Berlin,  were  buried  with  the  Chris- 
tian Catholic  and  Protestants  in  one 
grave,  and  the  respective  clergymen  of 
the  three  denominations  performed  the 
burial  services  of  their  respective  church- 
es over  those  that  had  fallen  in  the  strug- 
gle. The  Rabbis  of  Vienna  and  Berlin 
did  not  think  it  of  such  vital  importance 
to  separate  the  dead,  though  it  would  have 
been  just  as  easy  a  matter  as  tobnry  them 
together. 

We  again  repeat,  we  have  no  idea  of  a 
religion  that  commences  with  the  dead. 

We  conclude  this,  our  lengthy  essay, 
with  a  striking  allegorical  application  of 
Exodus  21-1,  4,  by  the  learned  R.  David 
Nieto,*  Rabbi  of  the  Portuguese  congre- 
gation of  London,  (after  the  inil  on  that 
pas.9agc,)  to  the  case  before  us.  This 
learned  man,  after  showing  in  his  p  nOD, 
(a  work  published  by  him  proving  the 
antiquity  of  tradition,)  that  intermarria- 
ges are  prohibited  according  to  the  Bible^ 
and  after  stating,  at  the  same  time,  that 
though  the  husband  is  after  as  before  the 
union,  considered  an  Israelite,  his  diildren 
are  not,  applies  the  text  just  now  allud 
cd  tottlle-gorically  to  intermarriages,  read- 
ing in  chi  thikkaneh  instead  of  thikneh  in 
tlbe  second  verse,  and  applying  the  years 
to  periods  of  ten  years.  With  this  intro- 
duction, the  learned  reader  will  find  the 
clue  to  the  passage,  to  which  we  cann-t 
do  justice  in  an  English  translation,  and 
therefore  give  it  hero  in  the  Hebrew  text; 


nrniS  |fi'  vi-m  dk  *  *  *  *  *  w^  '•■"^ 
:  loja  Rjf'  Kim-  rvnuh  imn  mS'i  n»Kn 
For  the  plain  reader,  we  translate  the 
last  verse,  which  reads  : 

"The  wife  jmd  her  cWldren  shall  be  her 
master's,  (shall  belong  to  her  faith,)  aiid 
he  shall  go  out  (of  this  world)  ^flia  with 
his  body — alon&— septuagint  mow>s. 

We  h«ve  now  come  to  the  conclusion, 
and  have  laid  these  lines  before  our  read- 
ers, that  those  who  wish  to  avoid  conten- 
tion, may  know  how  to  act  in  similat 
cases — on  principle.  We  cannot  easily 
determine — at  least,  not  in  this  essay 
which  has  already  grown  to  such  a  length, 
when  a  man  ceases  to  be  an  Israelite.  We 
may  come  back  to  the  treatment  of  this 
subject  another  time.  For  the  present, 
we  accompany  this  with  our  best  wishes 
to  the  members  of  the  Benevolent  Socie- 
ty of  S ,  and  aa  a  man  who  labors 

hard  and  honestly  in  the  infertile  field  in 
which  the  hand  of  God  has  placed  hiiu, 
we  advise  them,  and  our  people  at  large, 
to  see  and  make  provisions  for  the  living ; 
to  devote  their  lives  to  the  service  of 
God;  to  bring  up  their  children  in  the 
knowledge  and  fear  of  God;  to  establish 
honestly  and  sincerely  institufjons  for  the 
promotion  of  piety,  of  knowledge,  to 
the  honor  of  our  people — for  which  noth- 
ing, indeed  nothing  is  done  among  us, 
except  in  appearances,  and  not  disturb 
the  peace  of  the  living  about  questions 
how  to  bury  the  dead  ;— the  very  silence 
of  Moses  and  the  prophets  on  the  subject, 
is  sufficient  proof  of  its  little  importance ; 
and  why  should  a  people  who  wish  to  live, 
make  no  other  preparation  but  for  the 
dead? 

•  R.  David  Nieto  wos  an  Italian  by  birth, 
and  like  most  lulian  and  Spanish  Rabbis  in 
the  middle  ages,  eo-nbined  Tastliacuistic,  phi- 
losophic, Boientifie  and  medical,  with  theologi- 
cal and  rabbinical  knowledge.  He  was  a  roan 
of  sturling  virtue  and  eminent  piety— ha  en- 
tered a  betUr  life  in  the  year  1710.  "May  tha

Anomalous  Rbsult  of  Education 
ON  Cbimk. — Philantrophists  anticipated, 
from  this  immense  spread  of  elementary 
education,  a  vast  diminution  of  crime, 
proceeding  on  the  adage,  so  flattering  to 
the  pride  of  intellect,  that  ignorance  is  the 
parent  of  vice.  Judging  from  the  results 
which  have  taken  place  in  Prussia,  where 
instructions  has  been  pushed  to  so  great 
a  length,  this  is  very  far  from  being  the 
case.  On  the  contrary,though  one  of  the 
most  highly  educated  countries  of  Europe, 
it  is  at  the  same  time  one  of  the  most 
criminal.  On  an  average  of  three  years, 
from  1st  January,  1824,  to  Ist  January, 
1827  the  number  of  convictions  in  serio<is 
cases  was  362  against  the  person,  and  20 
691  against  property  annually,  which  as 
compared  with  the  population  at  that  pe- 
riod, was  1  convicted  to  587  inhabitants; 
wheras,  in  France,  the  propoition  in  the 
same  years  was  1  convicted  to  74286,  t  f 
of  which  1  to  82,41 1  were  crimes  against 
the  person,  and  1  to  9,392  against  prop- 
erty. TTiat  is  in  Prussia,  where  the 
proportion  of  persons  at  school  to  the  en- 
tire population  was  1  to  7,  the  proportion 
of  crime  to  the  inhabitants  was  twelve 
times  greater  than  in  France,  where  it 
was  1  to  23.  This  startling  fact  coin- 
cides closely  with  what  has  been  exper- 
ienced in  France  itself,  whore  the  pro- 
portion of  conviction  to  the  inhabitants  is 
1  to  7,285  ;  and  it  has  been  found  that 
without  one  single  exc^jption  in  the  whole 
84  departments,  the  amount  of  crime  is  in 
the  inverse  ratio  of  the  number  of  persons 
reciving  instruction. — Alison^s  history  of 
Europe,  Vol.  V.

Tljeir  politeness  is  perhaps  the  more 
ajrreable  because  we  do  not  always  expect 
if  We  expect  grown  people  to  be  polite, 
but  knoiwng  how  forgetful,  careless  and 
inattentive  children  generally  arc,  we  are 
not  surprised,  and  do  not  condemn  them 
if  they  do  not  always  exhibit  this  most 
agreeable  quality;  B..t  when  they  do,  we 
always  notioe  it,  and  remember  it  with 

^  Th^pponed  to  be  travelling  a  little  dis- 
tance one  of  those  freezing  dt/s  last  win- 
ter and  entered  the  lady's  room  at  a  de- 
pot, shivering  with  cold,  for  in  my  anx- 
iety  to  keep  baby  wumn,  a  fin  in  my 
shawl  had  escaped  its  fastening,  and 
wanted  to  replace  it.  But  my  Pm  ball 
was  in  my  pocket  fiUod  with  toys  and 
bons  bons,  (we  had  'been  to  Christmas, ) 
and  that  with  the  bundled  np  baby, 
gloves  and  cold  lingers,  was  altogether 
inaccessible.  So  if  bub  at  my  side  had 
not  got  one,  I  must  do  as  I  could  wiihout 
it.     Now,  liis   pin   ball   was   in  another 

^^There  were  only  three  little  girls  in 
the  room  (perhaps  ten  years  old,)  sitting 
opposite  to  us,  and  as  1  drew  my  shawl 
cWly  around  me  and  moved  a  little 
nearer  the  glowing  anthracite,  thinking  ot 
the  value  of  a  bit  of  sharpened  and 
headed  wire,  I  saw  the  little  girls  passing 
a  hand  over  the  front  part  of  their  dress- 
,.8,  look  at  each  other,  and  shake  their 
heads.  The  next  moment  one  ot  them 
stepped  across,  and  handed  me  a  pin 
(she  must  have  taken  it  from  a  needed 
place,)  saying,  in  a  very  sweet  tone, 

'Here  is  one,  if  yon  please 

'Thank  you  dear,' I  cordially  replied, 
accepting  it,  and  as  she  resumed  her  seat, 
the  equally  pleased,  for  the  same  kmdly 
emotion  swayed  each  little  heart. 

It  was  a  very  trifling  act,  but  wheney- 
orlreeallthe  politeness  of  those  little 
strange  girls,  I  think  of  thebeautilul  defi- 
nition that  somebody  gives  pohteness.-- 
It  is  thus  :  'True.politenesB  consists  in 
doing  the  kindest  thin^  in  the  very  kind- 
est way.' — Morning  Siar.

BIRTHS. 


3=*: 


Id  thii  oity,  W  Wednetday  •▼•ning,  Octo- 
ber 20th,  186T,  the  wife  of  Mr.  J.  Funkenetein. 
•f  a  ton.  . 

We  are  never  so  happy,  or  so  unhap- 
py, as  we  imagine. 

We  hare  all  of  us  sufficient  fortitude 
to  boar  the  misfortunes  of  others. 


Grief  cannot  win  them  back  ; 

And  yet  with  frequent  tear. 
We  question  of  their  hidden  lot, 

And  list  with  throbbing  ear, 
For  some  low  answer  that  may  rool 

Through  the  hushed  temple  of  the  souL 

We  lore  them— love  them  yet  I 

But  is  oar  love  returned  ? 
Is  memory's  hearth  now  cold  and  dark 

Where  once  the  heart-fire  burned  T 
Nor  do  the  labourers  now  gone  home, 

Look  for  the  weary  ones  to  come  T 

We  wrong  them  by  the  thought  ,— 

Affections  cannot  die  :  — 
Man  is  still  man  where'er  he  goes, 

And  oh  1  how  strong  the  tie 
Which  links  us,  as  with  fetters  fast, 

Unto  the  future  and  the  past ! 

Death  wonW  be^dark  ipdccd, ■- — 

'     If,  with  this  mortal  shroud, 
We  threw  off  all  the  sympathies 

That  in  onr  being  crDwd, 
And  entered  on  the  spirit-land 
A  stranger,  'mid  a  stranger-band. 

Far  pleasanter  to  thir>k 

That  each  familiar  face, 
Now  gazes  on  us  as  of  old, 

Prom  its  mysterious  place,  • 

With  love,  that  neither  death  nor  change 

Hath  power  to  sever  or  estrange 

Oh  1  who  will  dare  to  say,^ 

"This  is  an  idle  dream  ?" 
Who  that  hath  given  one  captive  dove 

To  soar  by  its  own  stream. 
But  fancies  that  its  breathings  low, 

Float  round  them  whersoe'er  they  go  7 

Mother !  conldat  thou  endure 

To  think  thyself  forgot 
By  her,  who  was  thv  life,  thy  air, 

The  sunbeam  of  thy  lot? 
Wouldst  thou  not  live  in  doubt  and  fear, 

If  all  thy  bright  hopes  perished  herei 

And  brother !  sister  !  child ! 

Ye  all  have  loved  the  light 
Of  many  a  dearly-cherished  one, 

Mow  Uken  from  your  sight. 
And  can  ye  deem  that  when  ye  meet, 

Hearts  will  not  hoU  communion  sweet  T 

Alas!  if  it  be  so, 

That  in  the  burial-urn 
The  soul  must  garner  np  the  love, 

That  OBce  did  in  it  burn. 
Better  to  know  not  of  the  worth 

Of  true  affisction  on  this  earth. 

Better  to  live  alone, 

Unbleesing  and  anblest. 
Than  thus  to  meet  and  mingle  thoagBl, 

Tbeo  from  the  immortal  breast 
Shut  out  the  meraoiy  of  tbe  past, 

Like  day-beams  from  a  forest  vast 

Oh !  no  ;  it  cannot  be  1 

Ye  1  the  long-^lostof  years  ! 
'Mid  all  the  changes  of  this  life, 

Its  thousand  joys  and  fears, 
We  love  to  think  that  round  ye  move. 

Making  an  atmosphere  of  love. 

Ye  are  not  dead  to  u ; 

But  as  bright  stars  unseen, 
We  hold  that  ye  are  ever  near 

Though  deaths  intrudes  between, 
Like  some  thin  cloud,  that  veils  from  sight 

The  countless  spangles  of  the  night 

• 

Yo«r  influence  is  still  felt 

In  many  a  varied  hour  ; 
The  dewy  morn  brings  thoughts  of  you  ,    • 

Ye  give  the  twilight  power  ; 
And  when  tbe  Sabbath  sunshine  rests 

On  your  white  tombs,  ye  fill  our  breast*. 


Its  iee-uall  throogh  our  hearts ; 
Yours  are  asnoog  ««  Iwu^okijjamw . 

Your  memory  ne'er  deparU  ; 
And  far.  t%\  tutfiUti  ^  ^^■*'K!. 

Ye  planted  in  our  favoored  boiwr*. 

Friends  1  I  would  crate  like  boon 

When  laid  within  death's  vaulta ; 
Speak  of  me  often,  tbongb  it  be 

Only  to  tell  my  faalU  : 
F6r  better  that  some  hearts  be  taught 

Even  of  my  follies  than  of  nought. 

Obi  tWi  ryruBwher  me 

In  gentleness  and  love : 
Let  not  the  chasm  be  early  filled 

That  tracks  my  last  remove. 
Batlgrant  me  still  that  little  spot ;  —

Animal  Pood. 

That  our  too  free  use   of  anunal   food, 
proves  a  vast  source  of  disease,,  and  be- 
comes fuel  in  inflammatory  states  of  our 
systems,  is  a  fact  beyond  doubt.     The 
expeaience  of  physicians  in  Catholic  coun- 
tries, has  showed  that  a  number  of  chron- 
ic diseases  get  cured  during  lent,  when  the 
people  abstain   from  animal  food,  whose 
morbosity  cannot  be   overcome  at  other 
seasons.     This  proves   that  the  stimulus 
of  animal  food  is  too  much  for  some  con- 
stitutions, particularly   those  who  labor 
under  febrile  disorders.     The  following 
interesting  item  from  an  exchange,  may 
prove  useful  to  a  number  of  our  readers: 
To  consider  man  anatomically,  he  is 
decidedly     a  vegetable  eating     animal. 
He  is  constructed  Tike  no  flesh-eatmg  an- 
imals.     He  has  not  any  claws  like  the 
lion,   the  tiger,   or  the  cat,  but  his   teeth 
are  short  and  smooth,  like  those  of  the 
-horse,  cow,  atia-th*^  frttit  eating  aniomk ; 
and   his  hand  is   evidently   intended  to 
pluck  the  fruit— not  to  seize  his   fellow- 
animals.     What   animal  does  man   most 
resemble   in  every    respect !       The  ape 
tribes — frugiverous  animals.     The  doves 
and  sheep,  by  being  fed  on  animal  fopd— 
and  they  may  be,  as  has  been  fully  prov- 
ed—come  to  refuse   their   natural  food; 
thus  it  has  been  with  man.     On  the  con- 
trary, even  cAts  may  bo  brought  up  to 
live  on  vegetable  food,   so  that  they    will 
not  touch  any  sort  of  flesh,  and  be   quite 
vigorous  and  sleek.     Such  cats   will  kill 
their  natural  prey  just  as  other  ca,ts,  but 
will   refuse  them  as   food.     Man  is  nat- 
urally a   vegetable  eating   animal;  hoV 
then  could  ho  possibly  be  injured   by  ab- 
stinence from   flesh  ?     A  man,  by  way  ot 
expcrimeut,  was  made  to  live  entirely  up- 
on animal  food ;  afU'r   having  preserved 
ten  days,  symptons  of  incipient  putrefac 
ion  began  to  inanifest  themselves. 

DrLambe,  of  Londjn,  has  lived  for 
the  last  thirty  years  on  a  diet  of  vegeta- 
ble food.     He  commenced  when  he  was 
about  fifty    years  of   age,  so  he  is  now 
acout  eighty— rather  more,  I  believe— and 
is  still  healthy  and  vigorous.     The  wri- 
ter of  the  "  Oriental  Manual "  mentions 
that  the  Hindoos,  among  whom  he  trav- 
eled, were  so  far  from  a  tendency  to  in- 
flammation, that  he  has  seen  compound 
fractures  of  the  skull  among  them,  yet  the 
patient  to  be  at  his  work,  as  if  nothing 
had  ailed  him,  at  the  end  of  three  days. 
How  diflferent  is  it  with  our  flesh-eating, 
porter-swilling     London     brewers!       A 
scratch  is  almost  death  to   them  \—Flow-

The  Late  Catastrophy. 

The  groan  of  the  dying  sufferers  have    re« 

eehoed  from  the  ilUfated  Central   Amarioa  in 

vrvej  organ  of  the  Atlantio  and  Pacific  shores. 

A  week  haa  passed  since  the  news  reached  us, 

and  even  in  this  city,   the  gloom  spread  bj  the 

•Tent,  broods,  like  an  inonbue,  over  our  oom- 

meioial  bodr; 

The  awful  scene   has  been   fully  desribed  ; 

warning  and  adTice  for  the  future  have  been 
given  by  the  press.  However,  a  few  words 
may  prove  in  season. 

The  general  opinion  states  that  the  loss  is 
owing  to  carelesnese,  or  to  want  of  sufficient 
attention,  in  different  quarters. 

It  is  a  striking  fact,  that  the  statistics  of 
railroad  accidents  prove  eleven  in  America  to 
one  in  {England.  We  do  not  know  what  the 
propprtion  of  marine  disaaters  are,  bat,  to 
jndge  from  analogy,  the  investigation  of  minor 
and  graver  accidents,  will  probably  show  a 
similar  preponderence  on  this  side  of  the  At- 
lantic. 

The  fanlt  lies  in  carelessness ;  we  are  too 
reckless ;  car  state  of  morality  is  not  sach  an 
advanced  one  that  we  can  be  allowed  togovem 
ourselves ;  the  generality  of  our  population  are 
mentally  and  morally  deficient.  It  is  an  ener- 
getic and  independent  government,  by  an  effi- 
cient and  independent  body  of  subordinate 
officers,  that  ought  to  look  into  all  our  pnblic 
affiiirs. 

Vffi  wish  no  despotism  ;  but  the  loose  sys- 
tem under  which  we  live,  is  likewise  objection- 
able. We  would  prefer  the  restrictions  in 
walking  safely  between  the  beds  of  a  properly 
managed  garden,  to  the  liberty  of  roaming 
about  at  pleasure  in  the  forest,  exposed  to  at, 
taok^and  dangers. 

We  enjoy  the  liberty  of  the  forest.  An  en- 
ergetic and  independent  government,  would 


examine  vessels  and  officers,  and  that  not  nom* 
inally,  but  strictly.  But  though  the  citisen 
may  boast  of  a  nominal  independanoe,  gov- 
ernment is  dependant ;  the  officer  is  the  play 
ball  of  the  people,  and  how  dare  he  disoblige 
the  influential  portion  of  that  people  ?  We, 
tiierefore,  are  ot  the  mercy  of  those  whe  know 
how  to  gain  wealth  and  influence ;  an^  they 
geaerally  are  the  most  unscrupulous ! 

Our  people  are  careless  and  thoughtless  in 
exposing  themselves  to  dangers.  We  travel 
too  much ;  our  business  trips,  and  mow  so,  onr 
pleasure  trips,  are  too  risky  and  too  frequent. 
Ocean  traveling  ought  not  to  be  undertaken 
without  tbe  utmost  necessity.  But  instead  of 
this,  our  thoughtless  and  restless  age  is  contin- 
Qftily  roaming  about. 

The  merchant  is,  perhaps,  excusable;  but 
how  many  families  are  temporarily  broken  up, 
and  often  involved,  because  either  the  husband 
•r  wife  wants  to  show  him  or  herself  in  the 
East.  We  respect  the  feelings  of  attachment 
to  firiends  and  place  of  birth  ;  but  we  more  re- 
spect the  sacrea  ties  that  ought  to  keep  the 
husband  as  the  band  or  tie  of  the  home,  and 
the  housewife,  xinfe  of  the  houu  to  the  Aotae. 
Superior  duties  out  to  give  preference  to  the 
inferior,  and  to  our  insatiable  desire  for  ex- 
citement and  roaming.  It  is  thus  that  our 
avarice,  our  vanity,  and  recklessness,  expose 
the  innocent  to  suffering  and  danger — causing 
misery  and  death  in  their  most  awful  forms, 
and  most  unforseen  manners. 

iKKoaTAUTT. — The  greater  part  of  those  who 
dtnythen  immortality  of  the  soul,  only  mstn- 
tain  this  opinion  because  they  wish  it.  But 
in  the  height  of  their  sinful  pTeasures,  the 
truth  which  stares  them  in  the  face  begins  on 
•arth  that  punishment,  to  the  fulness  of 
which  they  are  doomed  hereafter.— /*»«**  Spy. 


Chilblaina. 
Chilblain  is  a  name  giren  to  a  species  of  in- 
flammation which  arises  ttom  exposure  to  a 
severe  degree  of  cold.  There  is  always  more 
or  less  swelling  of  the  part,  and  tbe  skin  has  a 
livid  or  purple  color.  They  are  frequently 
brought  on  by  the  jaad  habit  of  sitting  near 
the  fire  immediately  after  coming  out  of  a 
frosty  atmotipfaere,  with  the  feet  aad  hands  bs. 
numbed  tnia  cold  ;  and  they  are  Just  as  likely 
to  be  produced  by  quitting  a  warm  apartment 
suddenly  aad  going  oit  into  the  cold  air,  par- 
ticularly if  the  feet  and  bands  happen  at  the 
time  to  be  slightly  moist  from  perspiration. 

Persons  whose  feet  and  hands  become  chilled 
and  benumbed  from  exposure  to  a  moderata 
degree  of  cold,  should  avoid  sudden  vicissitudes 
of  heat  and  heat  and  cold  as  much  as  possible; 
they  should  take  regular  exerercise  in  tbe  open 
air,  having  the  extremities  of  the  body  well 
protected  by  warm  clothing  ;  and  if  those  part* 
should  become  chilled  from  exposure  to  cold< 
care  ought  to  be  taken  to  restore  the  heat 
gradually  by  friction,  by  means  of  warm  water 
or  otherwise,  and  not  to  expose  them  to  th« 
fire  or  to  sudden  heat.  Those  who  are  not 
subject  to  chilblains  should  .take  care,  after 
washing  the  hands  and  feet,  to  dry  them  pro- 
perly, and  not  to  leave  them  in  the  slightest 
degree  moist ;  and,  during  tbe  winter  months, 
they  should  avoid  washing  the  bands  in  cold 
water.  Bathing  the  feet  and  hands  every 
night  in  warm  water,  with  some  common  salt 
dissolved  in  it,  is  one  of  tbe  best  means  of  pre- 
venting chilblains. 

Lotion  fob  OHrLBLAiNs.  —  Mix  distilled 
vinegar  and  spirit  of  mindererus,  of  each  four 
ounces,  with  half  an  ounce  of  borax.  In  com- 
mon oases  of  chilblains,  apply  pieces  of  soft 
linen,  moistened  with  spirits  of  camphor,  soap 
liniment,  camphor  liniment,  etc.  'When  the 
swellings  break,  apply  emollient  ointments  for 
a  few  days.  Equal  quantities  of  sweet  oil, 
lime  water,  and  spirits  of  wine,  are  also  an 
excellent  rsmedy  for  ohilblains. 

Simfle  /?em«tfy.— Soak  them  in  warm  bran 
and  water,  then  rub  them  well  with  mustard 
seed  flour ;  but  it  will  be  better  if  it  is  done 
before  they  break. 

Another  Remedy.— (^ti  an  onion  in  thick 
slices,  and  with  these  rnb  the  chilblains  thor- 
oughly, on  two  or  three  nighU,  before  a  good 
fire,  and  they  will  soon  disappear. 

Instability  of  Ma*. — ^There  is  no  kind 
of  praise  which  has  not  been  bestowed  on 
prudence ;  nevertheless,  however  great  it 
may  be,  it  cannot  assure  us  of  the  lea<# 
event,   because   its  subject  is  man — th** 
most  changeable  in  the  world. 

We  have  more  power  than  will ;  and 
it  is  often  by  way  of  excuse  to  ooMelves 
that  we  fancy  things  are  iinpossibife.

or  else  for  the  writing  to  be  engraven  opon 
them.    Th«  latter  prooesa  is  exeeedingly  an- 
cient    Writing  on  lead  ia  mentioned  by  Job 
(xix.  24)    Pliny  mentions  that  leaden  sheets 
or  plates  were  lued  for  Important  public  deco" 
ments.    This  we  learn  also  from  other  sources; 
and  brasawfts  also  employed  for  inscriptioDS 
intended  t« )»  very  durable.    What  Pliny  says 
•D  the  general  subject  is  instructive.    "At 
first  men  wrote  on  the  leaves  of  the  palm,  and 
the   bark  of  certain  other  trees ;  but  after- 
wards  public  documents  were  preserved  on 
leaden  plates  or  sheets,  and  those  of  a  private 
nature  on  wax  and  linen."    The  order  of  se- 
quence here  is  of  no  weight ;  we  cite  it  for  the 
facts.     Montfaayon  purchased   at  Rome,  in 
1699,  an  ancient   book  entirely  composed  of 
lead.    It  was  about  four  ioches  long  and  three 
ipches  wide ;  and  not  only  were  the  two  pieces 
that  formed  the  cover,  and  the  leaves,  six  in 
number,  of  lead,  but  also  the  stick  inserted 
through  the  rmgs  to  hold  the  leaves  together- 
as  well  as  the  hinges  and  nails.    It  contained 
Egyptian  Gnostic  figures  and  unintelligible 
writing.    Brass,  as  more  durable,  was  used  for 
the  iDBcriptions  designed  to  last  the  longest, 
such  as  treaties,  laws,  and  alliances.    These 
public  documents  were,  however,  usually  writ- 
ten on  large  tablets.    The  style,  for  writing  on 
bra«B  and  other  hard  substances,  was  sometimes 
tipped  with  diamond  (Jerem.  zvii.  1.) 

111.  kvAmal  Sibstances. 

,  1.    BKIN8. 

The  skins  of  animals  were  in  use  for  writing 
long  before  parchment  was  inrented.    Hero, 
dotus  mentions  the  barbarians  as  writing  or 
painting  on  the  skins  of  goats  and  sheep ;  and 
Diodorus  describes  the  ancient  Persian  records 
as  being  kept  on  the  same  substance.    The  re- 
course was  so  very  obvious  that  it  has  prevail- 
ed in  most  countries.    Even  in  America,  the 
Mexicans  had  books  of  skins,  and  the  North 
Ameaican  Indians  had  maps  painted  on  skins. 
It  was  also  certainly  one  of  the  most  ancient, 
if  not  the  most  ancient,  form  of  portable  wri- 
ting ;  and  they  have  great  probability  on  their 
side  who  contend  that  the  books  of  Moses  were 
written  on  the  skins  of  sheep  or  goats.    The 
Jews,  then,  had  most  certainly  the  art  of  pre- 
paring and  dyeing  skins,  for  ram's  skins  dyed 
red,  made  a  part  of  the  covering  for  the  taber- 
nacle-    In  connection  with  this  fact,  the  fol- 
lowing particulars  of  a  Hebrew  MS.  roll  of 
the  Pentateuch,  now  in  the  public  library  of 
Cambridge,  are  very  instructive.    The  roll  was 
discovered  by  Dr.  Claudius  Buchanan,  in  the 
record  chest  of  the  black  Jews  in  Malabar, 
■apposed  to  be  descended  from  the  first  disper- 
sion of  the  Hebrew  nation  by  Nehuohadneazar. 
The  date  of  the  manuscript  could  net  be  ascer- 
tained,  but  the  text  is    supposed   to   have 
been  derived  bom  those  copies  which  their 
ancestors  brought  with  them  to  India.    It  is 
written  on  a  roll  of  goat's  skins,  dyed  red,  and. 
measures  forty-eight  feet  in  length,  by  twenty- 
two  inches  in  breadth.    As  it  wants  Leviticus 
and  the  greater  part  of  Deuteronomy,  it  is 
calculated  that  its  original  length  must  have 
been  not  less  than  ninety  English  feet.    In  its 
present  condition,  it  consists  of  thirty-seven 
skins,  comprehending  170  columns,  four  inches 
in  breadth,  and  containing  each  from  forty  to 
fifty  lines.    It  is  in  some  places  worn  out,  and 
0h6  holes  have  been  sewn  up  with  pieces  of 
#  parchment.   (See  farther  particulars  in  Home's 
account  of  Bebrew  Manuscripts  in  his '  Intro- 
duction,' vol.  iv.  p.  86—89.)    We  refer  to  this 
rema^ble  roll  merely  as  representing  a  very 
primitive  manner  of  writing  important  docn'

This  is  but  an  improvement,  although  a  vej 
important  one,  on  the  process  just  mentioned. 
It  is  one  of  the  latest,  if  not  the  latest,  of  the 
various  prowBses  we  have  noticed;  although 
some  assign  it  a  very  early  date,  for  want  of 
adverting  to  the  difference  between  it  and  tktm 
less  artificiaUy  prepared.    The  improvement  is 
said  to  have  been  invented  at  Pergamoe,  at  a 
time  when  Ptolemy  Philadelphus  prohibited 
the  exportation  of  papyrus  from  Egypt,  with 
the  view  of  obstructing  the  formation  of  a 
grand  library  which  Eumenes,  king  of  Perga. 
mo8,  was  forming,  and  which  he  feared  might 
eclipse  his  own  great  library  at  Alexandna.- 
It  is  certain  that  the  best  parchment  was  made 
Pergamos,  and  skins  ihns  prepared  were  hence 
called  Charta  Pergamena,  of  which  our  parch- 
ment is  a  corruption.    In  Greek  they  are  some- 
times called  membrana.    Parchment  came  to 
be  employed  for  legal,  sacred,  and  other  par- 
ticular classes  of  works  ;  but  the  comparative 
cheapness  of  papyrus,  combined  with  as  much 
durability  as  could  be  required  for  the  more 
common  literary  wdrks,  aaiutaioed  it  atiU  ia 
general  use.    The  Jews  soon  began  to  write 
their  scriptures  on  parchment,  of  which  the 
rolls  of  the  law  used  in  their  synagogues  are 
still  composed.

Tablets  and  teblet  books  of  ivory,  on  the 
same  principle  as  those  of  wood  and  metals, 
were  anciently  in  use,  much  as  they  continue 
to  be  so  among  ourselves.  They  were  written 
on  with  that  paint  like  ink  which,  as  we  have 
already  noticed,  might  be  washed  off  when 
necessary.  The  Burmese  have  beautifal  books 
formed  ef  ivory  sheets,  stained  black,  on  which 
the  characters  are  gilt  or  enamelled,  and  the 
margins  adorned  with  gilding. 

IsPHHUS  Tba*i8IT.— The  amount  of  treasure 
and  number  of  passengers  now  yearly  going 
over  the  Isthmus,  by  the  Pwiama  route,  is  im- 
mense. At  the  present  time  the  number  of 
passengers  amounts  to  80,000,  and  the  treasure 
to  $81,000,000.  To  these  may  be  added  the 
demands  of  the  Australian  trade  and  travel, 
amounting  to  !iH4,000,000  in  treasure,  and 
63,000  passengers,  and  imports  from  England 

alone,  of  •73,000,000  per  annum.

Invalcablb  Rimedy   for   Scalds. — 
Ree'e  Medical  Gazette  gives  a  cure  for  scalds 
and  bums,  a  knowledge  of  which,  for  humani- 
tp's  sake,  should  be  as  widely  known  to  the 
people  as  it  is  to  the  medical  profession.    It 
aays  :— In  any  case  of  burn  or  scald,  however 
extensive,  all  the  acute  suffering  of  the  patient 
may  be  at  once  and  permanenely  relieved,  and 
that  in  a  moment  of  those,  by  sprinkliBg  over 
the  injured  suface  a  thick  layer  of  wheat  flour, 
by  the  hand,  or  what  is  better,  by  a  drudging 
box.    Every  vestige  of  pain  produced  by  snch 
injuries  is  instantly  removed,  and  the  sufferer 
not  only  escapes  the  shock  to  the  nervous  sys- 
tem accompanying  torture,  but  will  generally 
fall  into  r  quiet  sleep  the  moment  the  atmos- 
pheric temperature  is  thus  excluded  from  the 
wounds.    Multitudes  are  annually  perishing 
by  scalds  in  steamboats,  and  from  burns  by 
camphene,  spirit-gas  and  otherwise,  nearly  all 
of  whom  might  be  preswrved  from  a  fatal  re 
suit,  if  this  simple  practice  were  adopted  im- 
mediately after  such  accidents.    We  hope  that 
every  individual  will  remember  this  remedy, 
and  adopt  it  when  occasion  requires  it.

umna  of  the  "  Gleaner  "  to  such  an  advertuen 
ment;  but  the  writers  do  not  consider,  that 
had  we  refused  the  insertion,  we  would  have 
had  another  advertisement  in  our  city  papers, 
offering  religious  performances  in  the  market, 
to  our  scan  Jal;  and  we  have  had  enough  als 
ready.  We,  therefore,  admitted  the  advertise- 
ment, and  merely  accompanied  it  by  one  lin*. 

However,  as  we  wish  to  close,  at  once,  the 
ShochUm  question,  for  which  in  this  State,  but 
very,  very  few  care,  our  advertiser,  as  a  Sho- 
chat, ought  to  have  known  that  certificates,  of 
which  the  latest  given  by  an  authorised  rabbi, 
is  dated  aeven  years  back,  are  of  no  value  m 
any  other  country,  much  less  m  the  United 
States.  As  lor  a  testimonial  of  a  rabbi  of  Lons 
don,  dated  to  far  back,  the  Right  Reverend 
Alexander.  Bishop  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
church  of  Jerusalem,  has  had  such  from  a 
rabbi  of  London,  less  superanuated,  and  sure^ 
ly  little  aa  is  oared  here  about  Shocbtim  and 
their  Sheohit.h,  the  oertifiicate  could  not  even 
make  the  bishop  of  the  Protestant  Episcopate 
of  Jerusalem  Shochet  of  the  indiflferent  oity  ol 

San  Francisco. 

We  regret  that  Mr.  Jacobson  has  not  taken 
different  measures  to  gain  the  ooafidtnoe  ol 
his  fellow-citizens,  than  to  assume  authority, 
and  commit  an  act  of  indiscretion.

Blood  BathB. 

"  And  It  cam*  to  paw  lo  procen  of  tlm«,  that  the  Sine 
of  B|{ypt  died :  and  children  of  IirMl  ilghed  on  account 
of  tb«  a«rTilud«,  and  thay  criad,  and  their  in  came  up 
unto  Ood  on  aocouat  of  the  lervltade.''— Eiodui  2 :  S8, 

Tbia  text  ia  plain  enongh.  Tet  strange, 
that  among  onr  legendary  works,  the  word 
"  died  "  of  oor  textis  said  to  mean  the  he  (the 
king)  was  seized  with  leproey,  and  that  he,  as 
a  remedy,  bathed  himself  in  the  blood  of  in- 
fanU,  hence  they  say—"  and  the  children  of 
Israel  sighed." 

This  legend  is  so  familiar,  that  children,  even 
before  they  are  sent  to  school,  are  osnally 
taught  in  a  sort  of  speech  for  the  Passover, 
to  assign  the  blood  baths  as  a  reason  why  we, 
for  the  cups  of  blessings  on  the  holy  days,  pre- 
fer red  to  white  wine ;  viz— in  commemora- 
tion of  oar  .being  delivered  from  the  cruelty 
exercised  on  our  children  by  the  blood  baths. 
There  are  numbers  of  our  readers  who  well 
recollect  the  kaiheh  (question,)—"  Why  do  we 
drink  on  Pesah  red  wine  ?  etc.  It  it  is  b«- 
caase  Pharaoh  has  killed  our  children,  and 
bathed  himself  in  their  blood  ;  therefore,  we 
use  on  Pesah  red  wine." 

It  ia  thus  that  the  ancient  Rabbinical  eom- 
aentators  acoennt  for  the  connection  «f  the 
king's  death,  (his  being,  by  his  illness,  reduced 
to  a  stiftte  of  social  de*th  ;  being  obliged  to  be 
separated  irom  society,)  with  the  children  of 
Israel's  having  to  sigh.  Without  insisting  on 
the  correctness  of  this  interpretation ,  the  basis 
on  which  it  is  founded,  and  which,  at  first  sight, 
most  appear  to  be  taken  from  the  air,  will  ap- 
pear plainly  from  the  following  interesting  ar- 
ticle, which  we  found  copied  in  one  of  otfr  ex- 
changes, the  Calaveras  Chronicle,  published  at 
Mokelnmne  Hill,  Oal. :— 

BLOOD    BATHS. 

A  belief  in  the  cleansing  and  purifiying  vir- 
tnea  of  human  blood,  appears  to  have  existed 
flrom  very  remote  times,  until,  comparatively, 
a  recent  period.  That  it  prevailed  amongst 
the  Egyptians  we  learn  from  Pliny,  and  the 
idea  seems  to  have  been  borrowed  flrom  them 
by  Mooea,  although  it  became  modified  in  his 
code,  the  blood  of  animals  being  substituted 
for  that  of  human  beings.  In  the  twenty- 
eighth  book  of  the  "  Natural  History,"  of  the 
Roman  author,  we  find  a  curionii  account  of 
leprosy,  which  concludes  thus  : — "  A  peculiar 
malady  ia  this,  and  natural  to  the  Bgyptiana  ; 
b«t  when  any  of  their  kings  feU  into  it,  woe  to 
their  subjects  and  poor  people,  for  then  were 
the  tubs  and  bathing  vessels,  wherein  they  sat 
in  the  bath,  filled  with  nun's  blood  for  their 
curt. 

Bnt  the  remedial  powers  of  human  blood 
were  not  supposed  to  be  confined  to  cases  of 
leproey  alone  ;  it  was  a  medicine  of  universal 
application,  a  fancy  which  probably  grew  out 
of  some  vague  notion  that  thc^  vital  principle 
resided  in  this  fluid. 

It  is  a  singular  fact,  that  while  the  Jewish 
legislator  imparted  a  sacrificial  virtue  to  the 
blood  of  animals,  the  Romans  should,  on  the 
contrary,  have  adopted  a  belief  the  very  re- 
verse. According  to  the  Pagan  theory,  the 
blood  of  horsee  is  venomous,  and  that  of  bulls 
is  no  better,  except  at  jEgira,  a  city  of  Achaia, 
thongh  why  this  spot  should  be  an  exception 
to  the  general  rule,  the  Roman  naturalist  does 
not  inform  us.  Gloats'  blood  also  he  denounces, 
and  adds  that  it  is  so  strong,  nothing  in  the 
world  will  sharpen  the  edge  of  an  iron  tool 
aoonect  nor  harden  it  when  keen,  and  that  it 
will  poliih  steel  better  than  any  file. 


The  ObriatiMM  in  tke  wMik  agM  «aM- 
coanUbly  adopted  the  PagM  rather  tkn  tte 
Jewiali  belief.  The  Bniperor  Gonettttbe,  it  ia 
true,  wae  reatraioed  from  oaing  this  revolting 
remedy  in  oonaAquenoe  of  a  vmoa,  and  ia  said 
to  have  been  cured  by  b^tiam ;  but  the  use 
of  the  blood  bith  aeems  to  have  been  by  Ihr 
teo  common  both  in  an'oiwit  times  and  the 
middle  ages. 

In  the  time  of  the  great  leproey,  the  belief 
must  have  given  occasion  to  numberleas  cruel- 
ties, more  especially  as  children  and  maidens 
were  the  objects  of  it— a  class  the  least  likely 
to  be  able  to  escape  from  the  sacrifice  demand- 
ed of  them.  After  a  time  however,  it  received 
a  check,  from  an  opinion  gradually  gaining 
ground  that  only  the  blood  of  those  would  be 
efficacious,  who  offered  themselves  freely  for  a 
beloved  sufferer.  One  of  the  most  beautiful 
poems  of  the  tiiirteenth  century,  written  by 
Hartman  Von  Der  Ane,  gives  proof  of  the 
popular  notions  of  the  period.  The  outline  of 
the  story  are  nearly  as  follows  :— 

"  A  Swabian  knight,  who  possesses  wealth, 
rank,  fame — all,  in  short,  that  can  make  life  de- 
sirable, ia  OB  the  sudden  seized  with  leproey. — 
In  order  to  escape  the  civil  death,  which  was 
one  of  the  most  terrible  results  of  the  disease, 
he  roams  through  the  world  in  the  hope  of 
somewhere  finding  a  remedy,  and  Montpelier 
being  ia  those  days  famona  for  its  physicians, 
it  is  there  that  he  first  se^s  assistance.  They 
pronounce  his  case  to  be  beyond  their  art,  and 
he  then  repairs  to  Salerno,  whore  he  is  made 
acquainted  with  the  apparently  hopeless  means 
of  cure — namely,  that  he  shouid  bathe  iu  tbo 
blood  of  some  child,  or  of  some  virgin,  who 
shall  submit  to  be  a  willing  sacrifice.  Sad  at 
heart  he  returns  home,  with  the  convictien  that 
such  terms  of  cure  leave  him  no  hope,  and  he 
therefore  prepares  himself  to  sorrow  out  the 
remainder  of  his  days  in  solitude.  It  is  now 
that  a  girl  of  twelve  years  of  age,  the  daugh- 
ter of  a  countryman,  conceives  a  passion  for 
the  knight  while  attending  upon  him,  and  sc- 
cidently  hearing  of  this  free-will  offering,  deter- 
mines to  become  his  sacrifice.  The  knight 
struck  by  the  poor  girl's  attachment,  at  first 
refuses  to  avail  himself  it,  but  her  devotion  is 
proof  against  al  1  persuasions,  and  they  set  out 
together  for  Salerno,  the  site  of  a  celebrated 
medical  institution  established  by  the  Bene- 
dictine monks.  The  fatal  catastrophe,  how« 
ever,  is  averted  by  the  knight's  recovery 
through  other  means,  and  in  requittal  for  so 
mach  love,  he  gives  bis  hand  to  the  maiden  in 
marriage." 

The  story  of  Amiens  and  Amelins  is  another 
of  the  same  kind  ;  and  there  is  a  similar  tale 
related  of  Louis  XI„  having  a  mind  to  avoid 
his  approaching  death  by  drinking  the  blood 
of  young  children.  The  account  given  of  the 
last  hours  of  this  king  by  the  historian  Graguin, 
bears  testimony  to  this  fact  of  the  blood-drink. 
He  thus  states  It : — 

"  But  his  disorder  still  grew  upon  him,  and 
in  this  year,  1443,  imploring  high  and  low  the 
aid  of  Ood  and  man,  he  commanded  that  they 
should  bring  to  Tours  the  aaorod  liquor,  which 
it  is  said  was  sent  from  heaven  to  annoint  king 
Clovis,  in  his  city  of  Rheims.  Besides  this, 
he  had  from  the  holy  chapel  at  Paris,  the  rod 
of  the  high  priest  Aaron,  whidi  many  affirm 
to  have  been  divinely  given  to  Charlemagne. 
But  there  was  nothing  that  could  put  off  the 
appointed  hour.  Every  dt^y  he  grew  worse 
and  worse,  and  the  medicines  profited  him 
nothing,  though  of  a  strange  character,  for  he 
vehemently  hoped  to  recover  by  the  human 
blood  iehich  Iu  drank  and  svallowed  from  cer- 
tain children.    But  be  died  at  Tours." 


.  Thk  Bbst  PaiV^  a  well  known  political 
economist  says  :  "We  pay  best — first,  those 
who  destroy  us,  generalls  ;  second,  those  who 
cheat  OS,  politicians  and  quacks ;  third,  those 
who  amuse  us,  singers  and  musicians ;  and 
leaat  of  all,  those  who  instruct  us,  ministers, 
authors,  scboolmaaters  and  editors. 


FORBIOll     NKWB. 

Bkklik. — ^From  Eaater,  1858,  Jevfish 
students  will  no  longer  be  admitted  to 
pass  an  examinfttion  at  law,  6n  account  of' 
the  too  great  number  of  them  who  follow 
that  profession,  in  which,  in  Prussia,  they 
can  advance  no  higher  than  the  station  of 
Advocate.     That  this  unjust  ordinance  of 

dissatisfaction,  may  easily  be  imagined. 
Perhaps,  no  State  of  Europe  has  so  wa- 
vered in  its  policy  toward  the  Jews,  as 
Prussia.  If  there  lived  a  prophet  now, 
he  surely  would  represent  that  kingdom 
under  the  symbol  of  a  cameleon.  As 
for  the  promises  and  oaths  of  the  "  Pro 
testant  King,"  to  his  Jewish  and  Christian 
subjects,  he  and  his  predecessors  would 
have  done  well  to  obey  the  injunction  of 
their  Master,  which  says,  "  Swear  not  at 
all."^Math.  5-^. 

Gibraltar. — ^The  Jews  of  this  place 
feel  gratified  that  the  present  Governor 
respects  their  observances,  and  allows 
them  the  undisturbed  practice  of  their 
laws.  Under  the  former  Governor,  they 
were  frequently  annoyed.  He  once  pro- 
hibited the  use  of  Tabernacles  on  the 
feast  bearing  that  name,  which  the  Jews 
thought  a  serious  grievance,  though  the 
(jrovernor  declared  his  prohibition  to  have 
been  a  precautionary  measnre  against  fires. 
The  reader  must  bear  in  mind  that,  in  the 
East,  the  succoth  are  generally  raised  on 
the  top  of  the  houses.  Under  the  present 
Grovernor,  Jewish  prisoners  are  exempt 
from  labov.  on  the  Sabbath  and  holy-days. 

Austria. — An  Imperial  decree  prohibits 
temporarily  the  increase  of  Jewish  Congrega- 
tions in  Lower  Austria.  However,  they  are 
allowed  to  worship  with  Minyan,  (the  number 
of  ten  males  above  the  «ge  of  thirteen,)  and 
to  purchase  burial  grounds. 

BoHKHiA.— As  we  anticipated,  the  attempt 
of  some  officers  who,  as  we  related  some  time 
ago,  wished  to  enforce  obsolete  enactments 
against  the  Jews,  prohibiting  their  keeping 
Christian  servants,  has  proved  abortive.  The 
superior  tribunals  rejected  the  measnre  at  once 
aa  intolerent. 

TOLKRANCI  OF   THR   CzAR. — Not     Only    hsS 

the  Emperor  given  permission  again  to 
make  collections  for  the  Jews  in  Paleetine) 
(which  collections  were  prohibited  under  his 
father,)  and  himself  sent  a  sum  of  money  to 
Jrrusalem,  to  be  distributed  among  the  poor 
Polish  Jews  there,  but  he  has  also  given  12,'. 
000  francs  to  the  fund  established  by  Prince 
Pashkievitch  for  giving  marriage  portions  to 
poor  Jewesses,  and  12,000  francs  more  for  the 
poor  Jews  of  Warsaw. — Univers  Israelite. 

DiSTINOUISHKD  HoNOR  CoNFERRBD  ON 
AN  ISRABLITB  BY    THB    RUSSIAN    CZAB.— As   a 

reward  for  his  fidelity  to  the  Russian  throne, 
Mr.  Anthony  Frenkel,  the  celebrated  Israelits 
ish  banker  of  Warsaw,  has  been  created  a  ba- 
ron of  the  empire  by  Alexander  II,  the  Em- 
peror of  Russia. — Asmonean . 

Jewish  Talent.- Mr.  Alexander  Moaely, 
son  of  Mr.  Ephraim  Mosely,  of  Grosvenor 
street,  obtained  the  two  certificates  for  raids 
wifery  and  medical  jurisprudence  last  week  at 
St.  George's  Hospital.  The  same  gentleman 
obtained  the  senior  prize  for  anatomy  at  the 
end  of  the  last  session. 

PROXixrrT  OF  Jbwish  and  Christian  Bu- 
rial Grounds.— The  following  is  abridged 
from  the  Je$hurun : 

"  At  the  cemetery  of  Landou,  one  and  the 
same  wall  encloses  both  Jewish  and  Gentile 
graves,  and  only  a  narrow  footpath  separates 
^  the  professors  of  the  two  religions." 


TuRKST^IN  Nptrtsd  in  ««r  Isst,  aajrs  the 
JevnA  Meumgtr,  that  the  Saltan  had  appoiat. 
ed  Dr.  Spitaer,  a  oo-religiooiat,  hia  ehain^  d". 
Attain  at  Naples.  The  "  Arehivea  laraelitei" 
publiahes  some  particnlara  connected  with  this 
iaoident,  which  we  translate.  Dr.  Spitzer 
having  for  a  ^mg  time  served  the  reigning  Sal- 
tan as  bis  physician,  and  enjoyed  hia  fall  confi- 
dence, waa  removed  from  the  palaoe  by  one  of 
those  court  intrigues  so  frequent  in  the  East. 
3ut  the  Sultan  availed  himself  of  ihti  opp«r- 
tunity  to  evince  bis  esteem  for  his  discharged 
physician,  by  overwhelming  him  with  marks  of 
favor  and  titles  of  honor.  Dr.  Spitter  having 
retired  to  Austria,  his  native  country,  the  Sul- 
tan appointed  him  his  representative  at  the 
court  of  Naples.  But  when  King  Ferdinand 
learned  that  the  new  ambassador  of-  the  Porte 
was  to  be  Jew,  be  instracted  bis  own  arflba88&- 
dor  at  Constantinople  to  declare  that  his  mag 
ter  would  not  receive  a  Jew.  This  declaras 
tion  was  very  ill  received  by  the  Sultan,  who 
felt  his  dignity  insulted,  and  hia  liberty  of 
choice  restricted.  Abdul  Medjid  could  not 
understand  why  a  Christian  sovereign  should 
refuse  to  receive  a  Jewish  Ambassador  chosen 
by  a  Mahonjetan  monarch.  He  reftised  to 
yield.  At  last,  the  following  expedient  wm 
resorted  to :  Prince  Gallimachi,  ambassador  of 
the  Porte  at  Vienna,  will  also  pass  as  ssch  at 
Naples,  but  Dr.  Spitzer  will  bear  the  title,  and 
be  charged  with  the  fnnctiona  of  a  charge  d'- 
afi&irs  in  the  capital  of  King  Ferdinand.  How 
different  is  this  conduct  from  that  of  Queen 
Victoria,  who  received  in  her  palace,  as  her 
guest,  the  J»w  Fould, .  repxeaenting  the  Eni> 
peror  of  the  French. 

Sardinia.— The  anniversary  of  the  Jewish 
emancipation  has  lately,  says  the  Educatort 
Israelsta,  been  celebrated  by  all  Sardinian  con- 
gregations with  great  solemnity.  Divine  ser 
vice  was  performed  in  all  the  synagogues,  dit- 
courses  delivered,  and  much  charitv  giv^ 

Nassau.— The  Duke  has  appointed  Dr. 
Hertz,  a  co-religionist,  says  the  Jewun.  Mes- 
senger, chief  medical  counsellor,  as  a  reward 
for  his  long,  feithful,  and  successful  services  to 
the  State  in  his  medical  capacity. 

Tunis.— The  Bey  of  Tunis,  says  the  Church 
Chronicle,  has  granted  an  indemnity  to  the 
family  of  the  Jew  who  was  lately  murdered 
by  the  rabble.  At  the  deraasd  of  the  Euro- 
pean Consuls,  severe  measures  are  to  be  adopts 
ed  to  prevent  the  repitition  of  such  scenes. 

Parma.— The  Dutchess  Regent  has  created 
Signer  Amadee  Livi,  bankers  of  Reggio, 
knight  of  the  first  class  of  the  royal  order  of 
St.  Lndovic,  in  recompense,. aa  stated  in  the 
letter  patent,  "for  services  rendered  to  the 
government  loyally,  obligingly  and  disinterert- 
ly,  for  his  counsels  and  «al,  to  assist  the  gov 
ernment  in  everything  enacted  for  the  public 
welfare,  and  in  consideration  of  his  well-de^ 
served  reputation  as  a  man  of  intelligence  and 
probity." 

St.  Hklina.— By  private  advice  from  St 
Helena,  it  is  said  that  the  Emperor  Louis  Na- 
poleon has  purchased  the  seat  of  the  tomb  of 
his  uncle  the  great  Napoleon,  for  $3000,  snd 
Longwood,  the  farm  on  which  ,  the  conquered 
conqueror's  last  years  were  passed,  for  $18, - 
000.  A  commission  is  expected  soon  to  ar- 
rive for  the  purpose  of  putting  Longwood  in 
complete  order  and  decorating  the  grounds.- 
A  fine  monument  is  also  to  be  erected  over 
the  tomb. 

NizzA— Mr.  Avigdor  of  Nizza,  with  whom 
the  empress  of  Russia  roaidad  during  her  stay 
in  this  city,  says  Ihe  Israelite,  received  the 
Stanislaus  order,  third  dasa.  Tbis^is  the  first 
time  an  Israelite  has  received  this  distinction 
of  the  Russian  Emperor. 

floLLAMD.— The  following  is,  according  to 
the  "  Annuaire  Israelite  Neerlandais,"  the 
Jewish  population  of  tke  Dutch  West  Indies : 
At  Surinam,  1,412  ;  Curagoa.  747  ;  Bon-Airc,

among  all  the  languages  and  nations,  he  found 
BoasaoMpKiper  toheehosen  bs  mch  a  rep-

and  100  in  breath,)  accepts  (nominally)  a  Jew 
for  hia  Savior,  [we  do  not  speak  disparingly,] 
bnt  he  does  not  think  him  good  enough  for  an 
ambssasdor ;  the  Christian  king  would  prefer

Ferdinand  does  not  seem  to  know  that  Jews, 
£rom  time  immemorial,  oude  the  most  faithful 
officers  of  government,  and  are  the  most  able 
segocianta,  Alexander  of  Mocedonia,  prefer- 
red Jewish  Governors  of  cities  before  others, 
on  account  of  their  fidelity,  and  the  sacrednees 
which  they  attach  to  oaths.  Charles  the 
Great,  in  a  dark  age,  proferred  to  many  offi- 
eers  at  his  oommand,  to  employ  a  Jew  as  an 
ambassador  to  the  East.  But  Ferdinand  of

The  Drowned  Bor  and  the  Clair- 
voTANTw — Curiovu  Statement. — A  day  or  two 
since  we  chronicled  the  death,  by  drowning,  at 
Chelsea,  of  a  boy  of  nine  years,  son  of  Mr. 
Samuel  Ward .  the  ftMman  of  the  Chelsea  Dye 
House.  A  well  known  State  street  business 
man  msi^es  the  following  statement,  which  we 
give  as  related,  When  the  boy  was  first  miss- 
ing, and  before  it  was  known  what  had  become 
of  him,  a  friend  of  the  parent  went  to  J.  V. 
Mansfield,  of  3  Winter  street,  known  as  the 
"  Letter  Writing  Medium,"  and  placing  a  let* 
ter  securely  sealed  upon  his  dMk,  to  prevent 
deception,  asked  an  answer  to  0M  letter,  which, 
jn  fact,  contained  a  request  for  information 
regarding  the  lost  boy.  WHboat  opening  it, 
the  medium  wrote  a  reply  SM  follows  : — 

"  The  one  you  seek  is  not  present,  but'  I  am 
come  to  answer  your  question.  Ton  are  in 
search  of  the  little  boy.  Ward ;  now  I  do  not 
866  him  below,  and  I  have  not  seen  him  in  the 
spirit  land.  I  think  all  will  come  right,  and 
shortly  his  body  will  be  restored  to  his  anxiofes 
father.  Should  be  be  in  the  water,  then  I 
could  not  see  him,  as  we  cannot  see  well  in  the 
water.    I  will  look  again." 

At  this  moment  a  Miss  Mnnson,  who  ia 
anottier  clairvoyant  physician  at  the  same 
locality,  was  asked  by  Mr.  Man^eld  to  try 
and  ascertain  what  the  friend  of  Mr.  Ward 
wished,  and  she  was  placed  in  the  trance  state 
without  any  knowledge  of  what  the  gentleman 
desired,  when  she  gave  the  following  informa- 
tion, and  also  descrthed  the  boy  and  hia  dress: 

"^ou  are  in  seorch  of  a  little  boy.  He  is 
in  the  water  and  dead.  He  lies  on  hia  back, 
with  his  hand  raised  nearly  as  high  as  bis 
face  :"  then  remarked—"  the  spirit  of  the  boy 
is  on  the  wharf  looking  toward  the  body,  as  if 
guarding  it  They  are  now  reaching  him. — 
They  will  have  the  body  before  you  retoni  to 
Chelsea." 

The  gentleman  in  question,  in  since  stating 
the  particulars  of  the  finding  of  the  body,  saya 
they  found  in  the'  attitude  described  by  the 
cUiirveyant,aBd  that  the  description  given  of 
the  dress  waa  very  accurate. — Boston  IrMveUr, 
August  25. 

Men  and  thipgs  have  both  their  proper 
points  of  view.  Some  require  to  be  seen 
near  to  be  judged  well  of ;  others  are 
never  so  well  judged  of  as  at  a  distance. 


S 


WiMt  •  Hewqwpcr  DoM  for  Nothing. 

The  following  arllds  ahoold  be  read  and 
pondered  well  by  every  naa  who  takes  a  news- 
paper without  paying  for  it :  /\^ 

The  reaalt  ifjJiynbanrTatinn  enables  m^  to 
state,  aa  a  fibet,  that  the  publishers  of  oewa- 
papers  are  more  poorly  rewarded  than  any 
elass  of  men  in  the  United  States  who  invest 
an  equal  amount  labor,  capital  and  thought. 
Tliey  are  expected  to  do  more  service  for  less 
pay,  to  stand  more  sponging  and  "dead-head- 
ing," to  puff  and  defend  more  people  without 
fee  or  cope  of  reward,  tliaa  any  other  elaae. 

They  credit  wider  and  longer ;  get  oftener 
eheated  ;  suffer  more  pecuniary  loss ;  are  oft- 
ener the  victims  of  misplaced  confidence  than 
any  other  calling  in  the  community.  People 
pay  a  printer's  bill  more  reluctantly  than 
any  other.  It  goes  harder  with  them  to  ex- 
pend a  dollar  off  a  valuable  newspaper*  than 
ten  upon  a  needless  gewgaw  ;  yet,  everybody 
avails  himself  »f  the  use  of  the  editor's  pen 
and  the  printer's  ink. 

How  many  professional  and  political  rep- 
utations and  fortunes  have  been  made  and  sus- 
tained by  the  friendly,  though  unrequited,  pen 
of  the  editor  T  How  many  embryo  towns  and 
cities  have  been  brought  in  to  notice,  and  puff- 
ed int<KgosJfitity  by  the  press  ?  How  many 
railroads,  now  it  successful  operation,  would 
have  foundered  but  for  the  assistance  of  that 
"lever  that  moves  the  world^"  In  short, 
what  branch  of  industry  or  activity  has  not 
been  promoted,  stimulated  and  deAsnded  by 
the  press  T 

And  who  has  tendered  it  more  than  a  mis- 
erable pittance .  for  its  mighty  services  ?  The 
tMtzaars  of  fashion  and  the  haunts  of  appetite 
and  dissipation,  are  thronged  with  an  eager 
crowd,  bearing  gold  in  their  palms'  and  the 
commodities  there  needed  are  sold  at  enormous 
profits  though  intrinsically  worthless,  and 
paid  for  with  scrupulous  punctuality ;  while 
the  eounting-room  of  the  newspapers  is  the 
seat  of  dunning,  cheapening,  trade,  orders,  and 
pennies  It  is  made  a  point  of  honor  to  li- 
quidate a  grog  bill,  bnt  not  of  dishonor  to 
repnidate  a  printer's  bill.

The  object  in  our  giving  the  above  items, is 
again  to  remind  oar  readers  of  their  daty. — 
We  again  must  state,  that  since  nearly  ten 
month^,  we  are  engaged,  on  onr  own  hand,  in 
the  publication  of  this  paper  ;  it  haa  cost  us 
many  sleepless  nights,  and  many  days  of  trou- 
bla ;  it  has  absorbed  all  our  means,  and  some 
of  those  of  onr  friends,  to  whose  aid  we  had 
to  appeal,  and  this  we  would  not  have  had  to 
do,  had  the  greater  portion  of  our  country 
readers  but  merely  overcome  a  natural  sloth- 
fblness,  and  enclosed  in  an  advertised  letter, 
tiie  small  amount  doe  fbr  the  paper.  The 
means  at  oar  command  will  not  allow  uS  to 
send  a  traveling  agent  to  every  acttlement ; 
and  considerinf  what  our  people,  in  every  age, 
have  done  for  literature,  cun  we  do  less  than 
support  a  paper — the  only  Jewish  religions 
publication  m  this  SUte  r    Ought  not  every 


f  ws  readily  sad  proaaptly  to  come  for- 
ward and  oontribate  the  mite  required  to  se- 
cure our  continuance  7  Shall  it  be  necessary 
to  lose  time,  for  which  we  are  so  maoh  presMd, 
and  pay  postage,  to  olaim  the  small  soma  that 
are  due  ? 

We  bear  that  in  some  parts,  collections  can- 
sot  be  made,  (we  suppose  in  some  flew  instances 
only,)  from  merchants,  because  their  dues  have 
been  of  too  long  standing,  (between  five  and 
ilx  months.)    Sarsly  it  is  net  oig  fhnlt. 

A  certain  paper  in  the  Atlantic  States 
would  call  in  its  columns  upon  its  subscribers 
who  owed  their^sfthscription.  If  we  can  never 
have  reootdSe  to  such  means,  we  may  yet  have 
to  use  such  a  method  against  those  who,  after 
receiving  a  paper  six  or  eight  months,  send  it 
back,  or  even  leave  it  in  the  post  office,  withs 
out  pay,  and  when  addressed  by  a  letter,  can« 
not  be  brought  to  respond. 

Let  our  readers  sincerely  be  entreated  to 
assist  ua,  as  good  ooeo  think  it  a  duty  to  do, 
that  we  may  be  able  to  be  more  free  from 
care,  and  devote  more  time  and  space  to  our 
organ.  <•■' 

In  hopes  that  onr  readers  will  act  with  tliat 
aense  of  national  honor  so  peculiar  to  our  peo- 
ple, we  again  state,  that  the  safest  and  simplest 
way  to  remit  the  small  sums  due,  is,  by  taking 


cash,  place  it  i

The  Miniature  Kremlin. 

This  beautiful  object  of  art  is  now  on  exhi- 
bition in  onr  city,  and  proves  highly  satisfac- 
tory to  its  visitors.  The  bare  eye  is  delighted 
with  the  sight,  but  viewed  through  the  tele- 
scope, (of  which  there  are  several  in  the  exbi- 
tion  rooms,)  it  calls  to  the  beholder's  mind  the 
idea  of  one  of  the  enchanted  castles  in  the 
-  Arabian  Nights." 

Had  the  Kremlin  been  in  the  bands  of  those 

10  know  how  to  bring  their  goods  into  the 
'ket,  instead  of  being  the  property  of  a 
lest  Pole,  who  is  unacquainted  with  the 

merican  way  of  pushing  matters,  all  our  pa- 
pers would  have  continually  been  blazoning 
forth  its  praise.  But  as  it  is,  gratuitous  noti- 
ces are  rare.  Ladies  and  gentlemen  who  wish 
to  convince  themselves  personally,  will  find  the 
exhibition  in  the  centre  of  the  city,  at  Armo- 
ry Hall,  corner  Montgomery  and  California 
streets.    Open  from  9  *a.  m.,  to  10  p.  m. 

Thanks.- We  aie  indebted  to  Mr.  Jacob 
Meyer  of  Portland,  Oregon,  for  his  disinter- 
ested offers  to  forward  our  cause  at  Portland 
and  its  environs. 

We  are  likewise  obliged  to  Messrs.  A.  Saun- 
ders and  N.  Fiah,  of  Grass  Valley,  fur  kiad 
aarvioes  rendered. 

Censure- — It  often  happens  that  those  are 
the  best  people,  whose  characters  have  been 
most  injured  by  slanderers  ;  as  we  uanally  find 
that  to  be  the  sweetest  fruit  which  the  birds 
have  been  pecking  at.

A  RARE  CHANCE. 

SALE  OF  A  PRIVATE 
BOARDING   HOUSE. 

Owing  to  the  departure  for  the  Atlantic 
States  of  the  Proprietor  of  the  well  estab- 
lished House,  No.  14  Sansome  street,  and  op- 
posite the  Rassette  House,  he  is  desirous  of 
selling  out.  The  House  is  well  famished  for 
the  accommodation  of  weekly  boarders,  and 
has  a  large  and  respectable  share  of  custom. 
This  is  an  excellent  chance,  aa  the  House  is 
so  fitted  up  that  it  needs  not  a  dollar  of  ei- 
pense,  nor  loss  of  time,  as  the  party  that 
takes  it,  can  set  dinner  at  once.

THE    WEIiKLY    qLEANEB> 


Our  ohilfiSHitf©  invited  to  attend 
School  on  Saturdays  and  Sunday*,  as 
usurl. 


'  We  woiild  we  were  a  Child  Again.* 


80  thought  we,  u  we  tarried  at  the  hoose'of 
an  early  friend,  in  the  pretty  village  of  N— . 
We  were  nttiag  ou  a  rustic  bench  that  rtood 
beneath  an  old  apple  tree,  regarding  the  beau". 
tihl  Weat,  and  lifltening  to  the  chirp  of  the 
crickeL  when  our  attention  was  attracted  hy  a 
pleasant  child,  not  four  years  old,  from  whom 
we  learned  the  way  to  be  happy. 

"  Do  you  like  the  beautiful  sky  ?"  asked  the 
little  prattler. 

Very  much  ;  but  do  yon  know  what  makes 
the  sky  look  so  beautiful  ? 

"  Oh,  yea,  my  mamma  says  the  sun  shines  on 
the  clouds  and  makes  them  bright,  and  the 
Bible  says  Our  Father  in  Heaven  made  the 
Ban  and  the  moon  and  the  stars ;  don't  you 
think  Our  Father  in  vmry  good  T" 

Very  good  indeed ;  but  tell  me  what  you 
know  of  him.  I  want  to  learn  all  I  can  about 
Oar  Father  in  Heaven— tell  me  what  you 
know.  She  looked  at  me  as  if  surprised  at 
toy  ignorance,  and  then  asked  artUsasly  :— 
"  When  you  were  a  little  child,  the  same  size 
as  I,  did  you  not  have  a  dear  mamma  to  tell 
you  of  God  and  Heaven,  and  angels  who  are 
always  happy  ?  I  know  God  is  in  Heaven, 
and  He  is  here,  too, — 

"  He  llBteni  to  the  wor*l«  I  Mjr, 

And  luiowi  the  UiouKbta  I  have  withio  ; 

And  whether  I'm  »t  work  or  pUy, 
He'*  sure  to  Me  me  If  I  liD." 

He  made  us  and  the  birds  and  flowers,  and  He 
takes  care  of  us  all.  Oh  !  surely  we  ought  to 
love  Him  ;  and  if  I  ask  turn,  He  will  teach  me 
to  be  good,  and  give  me  a  new  heart,  and  ^ 
good  spirit,  and  then  I  will  not  have  a  b^ 
temper  any  more  ;  but  I  will  be  happy,  and 
when  my  body  goes  in  the  ground,  my  spirit 
will  go  to  be  an  Angel  up  in  Heaven." 

Here  the  mother  called  this  interesting  prat- 
tler, >nd  we  were  left  alonr  to  meditate  upon 
the  Faith  and  I>>ve  of  this  little  child.    We 
could  not  but  contrast  her  love  of  God,  and 
her  strong  Faith  in  his  promises,  with  the  per 
ploiag  doubts,  the  harrassing  anxieties,  that 
distracted  our  own  brtast ;  and  «8  we  thought 
of  the  joyous  trustful  child,  we  regretted  that 
■0  few  of  theeo  little  ones  should  receive  that 
pore  ioilruction  which  their  pure  spirits  crave. 
What  a  treasure  did  this  child  possess  in  its 
mother,  and  what  a  precious  gift   did  this 
mother  receive  in  her  child  1    She  was  one 
whom  we  had  known  from  childhood,  one  who 
bad  never  been  distinguished  by  brilliant  tals 
ents  or  great  abilities.    She  was  known  only 
•a  a  good  girl,  yet  how  superior  her  present 
position  of  that  of  several "  remarkable  chUd- 
ten  "  of  her  class,  who  have  grown  up  the  vo- 
taries of  fashion.    This  mother  is  happy  in  the 
discharge  of  her  duty  to  her  God,  her  fcmily, 
and  her  country.    She  feels  it  no  diwrace  to 
provide  for  the  wants  of  her  household,  to  la^ 
bor  with  her  hands,  to  assist  him  whom  she 
has  promised  to  love  and  honor.    How  pleas- 
antlf,  how  cheerfully,  how  usefully  she  spends 
her  time  1    What  a  privily  her  pious  Inter- 
couree  with  her  friends  ;  what  real  eiyoyment 
of  life  springs   from  her  amiable,  contented 
dispoeiiioa ;  and  what  nn  influence  is  she  ex- 
erting for  time  and  for  eternity   in  the  daily 
ischarge  of  the  very  plain,  very  common,  yet 
vst  important,  dutiee  of  an  American  Moth- 
-Motlur'  Mafioziru.

to  be  not  defloient;— A  gantlaman  receiving  a 
pMSwit  rf  some  Blopence  oil,  the  flaaka  wera 
act  in  his  cellar,  at,  the  bottom  of  a  shallow 
box,  and,  the  oil  not  being  wanted  for  uae, 
thigr  Mwaiaad  there  sometime;    when    the 
owner, ^Thg  one  dayty  chance  itrto  the  e«k 
lar,  waa  aurpriaed  to  find  the  wicker  work,  by 
whiab  the  flaaka  were  stopped,  gnawed   from 
the  greater  part  of  them,    and  upon  examina- 
tinn  the  oil  sunk  about  two  inches  and  a  half, 
from  the  neck  of  each  flaat     It  soon  occurred 
to  him,that  it  meat  be  the  work  of  aome   kind 
of  vermin  ;    and  being  a  man  of  a  apeculative 
turn,  hereaolvedtoaatiafytbecurioeity  raia

to  watch,  and  actually  detected  three  rata  la 
the  very  fact    The  neck  of  the  flaaka  waa  long 
and  narrow,  it  required  therefore  aome  contri- 
vanee :    one  of  the  rate  stood  upon  the  edge 
of  Uie  box,  while  another,  mounting  hia  back, 
dirpad  hie  tail  i^to  the  neck  of  the  floak"  and 
presented   it  to  a  third  to  lick.      They  then 
changed  plaaea:    the  rat  which  atood  upper* 
moat  deeeended.   and  waa  accomodated  in   the 
wme  manner  with  the  tail  of  hi-  campanion, 
till  It  waa  his  turn  to  act  the  porter,   and  he 
took  hi*  atation   at  the  bottom.     In  this  man- 
ner the  three  rata  alternatel)^  relieved   each 
other,   and  banqueted  upon  the  oil,   till  they

the  last  illness  of  Dr. 
bratcd  French  physician,  he  waa  attacked 
with  delirium,  on  reoovering  frem 
which  he  felt  hia  own  pulse,  mistaking 
himself  for  one  of  his  patients.  "  Why 
waa  I  not  called  in  before  ?  "  said  he.— 
"  It  is  too  late :  has  the  gentleman  been 
bled?"  His  attendants  answered  in  the 
nesafiive.  "  Then  he  is  a  dead  man,"  an- 
swered Chirac;  "  he  iriU  not  live  six

The  Journey  of  Life. 
Ten  thousand  human  beings  set  forth  to- 
gether on  their  journey.     After  ten  years,  one- 
third,  at   least,  have  disappeared.      At  tiie 
middle  point  of  the  common  measure  of  life 
but  half  are  still  upoit  the  road.    Faster  and 
faster,  as  the  ranks  grow  thinner,  they  that  re- 
main till  now,  become  weary,  and  lie  down  and 
riae  no  more.    At  throewore  and  ten,  a  band 
of  some  four  hundred  still   struggle  on.    At 
ninety,  these  have  been  reduced  to  a  handful 
of  thirty  trembling  patriarchs.     Tear  after 
year  they  fall  in  dimiftishing  numbers.      One 
lingers,  perhaps,  a  lonely  marvel,  till  the  cen- 
tury is  over.      We  look  again,  and  the  work 
of  death  is  finished.— £xtroet. 

But  in  stead  of  ten  thousand'  suppose  we 
take  nine  hundred  millions  of  human  beings  on 
the  face  of  this  globe,  and  make  the  globe  itr 
self  but  an  inn  on  the  road  where  the  travel- 
ers stop  but  a  little  while  to  refresh  themselves, 
and  the  terrestrial  period  of  man's  life  but  a 
mere  point  in  his  endless  journey.     Then  sup- 
pose the  morch  of  this  vast  armo  of  humanity 
across  this  globe,  or  past  this  inn,  to  continue 
for  thousands  of  years,  or  suppose  the  proces- 
sion to  be  endless— as  it  ia— and  we  will  have 
a  more  adequate  conception  ol  the  popnlous- 
nosB— the  myriad  millions  of  human   beings 
that  inhabit  the  spiritual  spheres  that  yroperly 
belong  to  this  Earth.      How  rast,  therefore 
must  ba  the  transmundance  receptacles  of  the 
incalculable  multitude  of  spirits  form  this  Earth 
alone  1  — Spiritual  Age. 


Young  women,  either  believe  falsely  or  judge 
harshly  of  men  in  everything.  You,  young 
loving  creature,  who  dream  of  your  lover  by 
night  and  by  day-you  fancy  that  he  does  the 
same  of  you.  He  does  not— he  cannot— nor 
is  it  right  he  should.  One  hour,  perhaps,  your 
presence  has  captivated  him,  even  to  weakness; 
the  next  he  will  be  in  the  wsrld  working  his 
way  as  a  man  among  men,  forgetting,  for  the 
time  being,  your  very  existence.  Possibly, 
if  you  saw  him  his  outer  self,  hard  and  stem- 
so  dififerent  to  the  self  you  knew— would  strike 
you  with  pain,  or  else  his  inner  and  divinar 
self,  higher  than  you  can  dream  of,  would  turn 
coldly  from  your  insignificant  love.  Yet  all 
this  must  be;  you  have  no  right  to  murmur- 
You  cannot  rule  a  man's  soul— no  woman  ever 
did— eiept  by  holding  unworthy  sway  over 
unworthy  passions. 

Be  content  if  you  lie  in  hia  heart,  aa  that 
heart  lies  in  his  bosom— deep  and  calm,  its 
beatings  unseen,  uncounted,  oftentimes  un- 
felt,  but  atill  giving  life  to  his  whole  being.—

EGYPTIAN    MUMMIES. 

Ami  Joseph  (tell  upon  hi«  fcther'a  fcce,  and  wept  upon 
him,  and  kiasod  him. 

And  Joseph  commanded  his  servanU  the  physicians  to 
•Dbalm  his  fcther:  and  the  phyaleians  embalmed  Israel. 

And  they  mifllled  or  him  forty  days ;  for  so  they  foUU 
the  days  of  those  that  are  embalmed;  and  the  Bfyptians 
wept  tor  him  seventy  days. 

go  Joseph  died,  being  one  hundred  and  ten  years  old ; 
and  they  embalmed  him,  and  ho  waa  put  iu  a  coffln  In 
Kgypt— Genesis  c.  40 :  v.  1,  3,  3,  26. 

Among  almost  all  nations  we  find  a  desire 
to  preserve  the  mortal  remains  of  friends  and 
relations  from  corrnption  ;  but  no  nation  pro. 
greseed  in  this  art  so  far  as  the  ancient  Egyp- 
tians. With  them,  the  art  of  embalming  waa 
a  common  practice.  The  bodies  thus  preserv- 
ed are  called  mummies. 

The  reason  why  so  much  care  was  bestowed 
in  Egypt  upon  embalming,  was  not  to  prevent 
putre&ction  and  the  consequent  birth  of  pes- 
tilence, nor  the  mere  love  of  knowing  their 
friends  preaerved  whole ;  but  it  waa  the  idea 
that  the  high  privilege  of  a  future  existence 
depended  on  the  conservation  of  the  material 
form  (Ritto.)     It  was  this  belief  that  made 
the  Egyptian  spend  so  much  time  and  means 
to  effect  a  complete  preservation.    Mummies 
have  been  found  with  the  names  of  the  first 
ancient  kings  on  them.    The  principle  on  which 
this  conservation  rested,  is  that  of  tanning.— 
The  word  niH'  ^(^nat,   used  In  Hebrew  for 
embalming,  signifies  originally,  "to  be r«d- 
dish  "  as  wheat,  (hence  called  nDH.  *«"aA,) 
leather. 

And  probably,  aayg  Dr.  Clark,  the  ideal 
meaning  may  be  something  analogous  to  our 
tanning,  which  consists  in  removing  the  mois- 
ture, and  cleeing  up  the  pores,  so  as  to  render 
them  impervious  to  wet.    This  probably  is 


EGYPTIAN    MUMMIES. 


the  grand  principle  in  embalming,  and  whatev- 
er effects  this,  will  preserve  flesh  as  perfectly 
as  skin.  Who  can  doubt  that  a  human  mus- 
ole  undergoing  the  same  process  of  tanning  as 
the  hide  of  an  ox,  would  not  become  equally 
incorruptible.  I  have  seen  a  part  of  the  mus- 
cle of  the  human  thigh,  that  having  come  into 
contact  with  some  tanning  matter,  either  in 
the  coffin  or  in  the  grave,  was  in  a  state  of 
perfect  soundneps,  when  the  rest  of  the  body 
had  been  long  reduced  to  earth  ;  and  it  exhib- 
ited the  appearance  of  a  thick  piece  of  well 
tanned  leather. 

The  account  of  this  curious  process,  the  ar- 
ticles used,  and  the  manner  of  applying  them, 
I  subjoin  from  Herodotus  and  Diodorus  Sicu- 
lus,  as  also  the  manner  of  their  mournings  and 
funeral  solemnities,  which  are  highly  illustra- 
tive of  the  subjects  in  this  chapter. 

"  In  Egypt,"  says  Herodotus,  "  certain  per- 
sons are  appointed  by  law  to  exercise  this  Mt 
as  their  peculiar  business ;  and  when  a  dead 
body  is  brought  them,  they  produce  patterns 
of  mummies  in  wood,  imitated  in  painting,  the 
most  elaborate  of  which  are  said  to  be  of  him. 


whose  name  I  do  not  think  it  right  to  mention 
on  this  occasion.*  The  second  which  they 
.how  is  simpler  and  leas  costly  ;  and  the  third 
is  the  cheapest.  Having  exhibited  them  all, 
they  inquire  of  the  persons  who  have  appli^l 
to  them,  which  mode  they  wish  to  be  adopted; 
and  this  being  settled,  and  the  price  agreed 
upon,  the  parties  retire,  leaving  the  body  with 

the  embalmcrs.  ^    .    ,       »i. 

"  In  preparing  it  according  to  the  first  meth- 
od, they  commence  by  extracting  the  brain 
from  the  nostrils  by  a  curved  iron  probe,  part- 
ly  cleansing  the  head  by  these  means,  and 
partly  by  pouring  in  certain  drugs ;  then  mak- 
ing an  incision  in  the  side  with  a  sharp  Ethio- 
pian stone,  they  draw  out  the  istestines  through 
the  aperture.  Having  cleansed  and  washed 
them  with  palm  wine,  they  cover  them  with 
pounded  aromatics  ;  and  afterwards  filling  the 
cavity  with  powder  of  pure  myrrh,  cassia,  and 
other  fragrant  substances,  frankincense  excep- 
ted, they  sew  it  up  again.  This  being  done, 
they  salt  the  body,  keeping  it  in  natron  during 
seventy  dtiys,  to  which  period  they  are  strictly 

•  Meaning"oiiris.  on,  ©f  the  principle  Ooda  of  Enrt. 


confined.  When  the  seventy  days  art  over, 
they  wash  the  body,  and  wrap  it  up  entirely  in 
bands  of  fine  linen  smeared  on  their  side  with 
gum,  which  the  Egyptians  generally  use  in- 
stead of  glue.  The  relations  then  take  away 
the  body,  and  have  a  wooden  case  made  iu  the 
form  of  a  man,  in  which  they  deposit  it ;  and 
wlicu  fostenetl  up.  they  keep  it  in  a  room  in 
their  house,  placing  it  upiigbt  against  the  wait. 
This  is  the  most  costly  mode  of  embalming. 

"  For  those  who  choose  the  middle  kind,  on 
account  of  the  expense,  they  prepare  the  body 
as  follows  :  They  fill  syringes  with  oil  of  ce- 
dar, and  inject  this  into  the  abdomen,  without 
making  any  incision  or  removing  the  bowels  , 
»««****  they  keep  it  in  salt 
during  the  specified  number  of  days.  The 
cedar  oil  then  taken  out ;  and  such  is  its 
strength  that  it  brings  with  it  the  viscera,  iu  a 
Btate  of  dissolntion.  The  natron  also  dissolves 
the  flesh ;  so  that  nothing  remains  but  the  skin 
and  bones.  This  process  Iwing  over,  they  ro- 
Btore  the  body  without  any  further  operation. 
"  The  third  kind  of  embalming  m  only  adop- 
ted for  the  poor.  In  in  this  they  merely 
cleanse  the  body  by  an  injection  of  s>jrm<za, 
and  salt  it  during  seventy  days,  after  which  it 
is  returned  to  the  friends  who  brought  it. 

"  The  bodies  of  women  of  quality  are  not 
embalmed  directly  after  their  death,  and  it  i» 
customary  for  the  family  to  keep  them  three 
or  four  days  before  they  are  subjected  to  that 
process." 

Diodorus  Siculus  relates  the  funeral  ceremo> 
nies  of  the  Egyptians  more  distinctly  and  clear- 
ly, and  with  some  very  remarkable  additional 
circumstances.    "  When  any  one  among  the 
Egyptians  dies,"  says  he,  "  all  his  relations  and 
friends,  putting  dirt  upon  their  heads,  go  lar 
menting  about  the  city,  till  such  time  as  the 
body  shall  be  buried  :  in  the  mean  time  they 
abstain  from  baths  and  wine,  and  all  kinds  of 
delicate  meats,  neither  do  they,  during  that 
time,  wear  any  coetly  apparel.    The  manner  of 
their  burial  is  threefold :  one  very  costly,  a 
second  sort  less  chargeable,  and  third  very 
mean.    In  the  first,  they  say,  there  ia  spent  » 
talent  of  silver  ;  in  tno  eecona,  twenty  mi»i«  ; 
but  in  the  last,  there  is  very  little  expense.— 
Those  who  have  the  care  of  ordering  the  body, 
are  such  aa  have  been  taught  that  art  by  their 
•nccitors.  These,  showing  each  kind  of  burial, 
•8k  them  after  what  manner  they  will  have  the 
body  prepared ;  when  they  have  agreed  upon 
the  manner,  they  deliver  the  body   to  such  as 
are  usually  appointed  for  this  oflBce.    First,  he 
who  haa  the  name  of  Scribe,  laying  it  upon 
the  ground,  marks  about  the  flank  on  the  left 
side,  how  much  is  to  be  cut  away  ;  then  he  who 
is  called  paraathinttt,  the  cutter  or  disaecter, 
with  an  Ethiopic  stone,  cuts  away  aa  much  of 
the  flesh  as  the  law  oommands,  and  presently

kind  of  injnry  to  a  body  of  the  «ame   nutore 
with  himself,  thoy  think  him  worthy  of  hatred; 
but  those  who  are  called   tancheulce,  the  em- 
ba]mers,  they  esteeiu  worthy  of  honor  and  re 
"P^ft ;  Tor  tffey  are  rum  ilTair  with  IheTr  prieet*, 
and  go  into  the  tenples  as  holy  men,  withoat 
any  prohibition.     As  soon  as  they  come  to 
embalm  the  dissected  body,  one  of  them  thrusts 
his  hand  tbrongb  the  woand  into  the  abdomen, 
and  draws  forth  all  the  bowels,  but  the  heart 
and  kidneys,  which  auotlur  washes  and  cleans- 
es with   wine,  made  of  palms  and  aromatif 
odours.     Lastly,  baring  washed  the  body,  they 
antoint  it  with  the  oil  of  cedar  and  other  things 
for  about   thirty  days,  and  afterward    with 
myrrh,  cinnamon,  and  other  such  like  matters: 
which  have  not  ooly  a  power  to  preserve  it  a 
long  time,  but  also  give  it  a  sweet  smell,  after 
which  they  deliver  it  to  the  kindred  in  such  a 
manner,  that  every  member  remains  whole  and 
entire,  and  no  part  of  it  changed,  but  the  beau- 
ty and  sliape  of  the  face  seem  just  as  they  were 
Ikj'fore  :  and  the  person   may   be  known,   even 
the  eyebrows  and    eyelids   remaining  as  they 
were  at  fi  st.     By   this   means  many  of  the 
Egyptians,  keeping  tlie  dead   bodies  of  their 
ancestors  in  magnificent  houses,  eo  perfectly 
see  the  true  visage  and   countenance  of  those 
that  died  many  ages  before   they   themselves 
wyre  borm  that  in  viewiBg  the  proportions  of 
every  one  ef  them,  and  the  lineaments  of  their 
faces,  they  take  as  mach  delight  as  if  ihey 
were  still  living  among  them." 

It  is  evident  from  the  mummies  which  have 
been  foaod  in  such  abnndauce  at  Thebes  and 
other  places,  remarks  Wilkinssn,  that  in  the 
three  different  modes  of  embalming,  several 
gradations  existed,  Eome  of  which  differ  so 
much  in  many  essential  points,  as  almost  to 
justify  oar  extending  the  number  mentioned  by 
the  historians. 


The  sum  stated  by  Diodoros  of  a  talent  of 
silver,  can  only  be  a  general  estimate  of  the 
expense  of  the  first  kind  of  embalming,  since 
the  various  gradations  in  the  style  of  preparing 
them  to  prove  that  some  oanmmies  must  have 
cost  far  more  than  others ;  and  the  sumptuous 
manner  in  which  many  persons  performed  the 
Tanerals  of  their  friends,  kept  pace  with  the 
splendor  of  the  tombs  they  made,  or  purchased 
for  their  reception. 

The  execrations  with  which  the  paraechistes 
was  pursued  could  only  have  been  a  religious 
form,  from  which  he  was  doubtless  in  little  ap- 
prehension, an  anomoly  not  altogether  without 
a  parallel  in  other  civilized  oountriss. 

Diodorus  is  in  error  when  he  supposes  the 
actuni  face  of  the  body  was  seen  after  it  Mas 
restored  to  the  family  ;  for  even  before  it  was 
deposited  in  the  case,  which  Herodotus  says 
the  friends  made  for  it,  the  features  as  well  as 
the  whole  body,  were  concealed  by  the  banda- 
ges which  enveloped  them.  The  resemblance 
he  mentions  was  only  in  the  mummy  case,  or 
the  cartonage  which  came  next  to  the  banda- 
ges ;  and,  indeed,  whatever  number  of  cases 
covered  a  mummy,  the  face  of  each  was  in- 
tended as  a  representation  of  the  person  with- 
in, as  the  lower  part  was  in  imitation  of  the 
swathed  body. 

Diodorns  mentions  the  three  different  classes 
of  persons  who  assisted  in  preparing  the  body 
for  the  faneral— -the  scribe,  who  regulated  the 
incision  in  the  side ;  the  partuchisten,  or  cutter; 
aud  the  cmbalmers.  To  these  may  be  added 
the  undertakers,  who  wrapped  the  body  in 
bandages,  and  who  had  workmen  in  their  em- 
ploy to  make  the  cases  in  which  it  was  depos- 
ited. Many  different  trades  and  branches  of 
art  were  constantly  called  upsn  to  supply  the 
undertakers  with  those  things  required  for  fu- 
neral pnrposes,  as  the  paiuters  of  mammy 
oases ;  those  who  made  images  of  stone,  por- 


VOod.AudotM  materials;  UwMlia- 
tf4buvt  of  alabMter.eartbrawu*,  sod  brOOBS 
VMSS ;  those  who  worked  in  ivory ;  the  leather 
catters,  and  many  others.  And  it  is  not  in^ 
probable  that  to  the  undertakers,  who  were  a 
class  of  priests,  belonged  a  very  largo  propor- 
tion of  the  tombs  kept  for  sale  in  the  cemeter- 
ies of  the  large  towns. 

The  number  of  days,  seventy  or  seventy-two 
raehTioned  by  the  TWO  hisCOrtaBs,  Is  conBfmed^ 
by  the  Scripture  account  of  Jacob's  funeral ; 
and  this  arbitrary  period  cannot  fail  to  call  to 
mind  the  frequent  occurrence  of  the  numlwrs 
7  and  70,  which  are  observed  in  so  manp  in- 
stances both  among  the  Egyptians  and  Jews. 
But  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  it  compre- 
hended the  whole  period  of  the  mourning,  aad 
that  the  embalming  process   only  occupied  a 
portion  of  it ;  forty  being  the  number  days 
expressly  stated  by  the  Bible  te  have  been  as- 
signed to  the  latter,  and  "  thrcscorc  and  ten  " 
to  the  entire  mourning. 

The  custom  of  embalming  bodies  was  not 
confined  to  the  Egyptians  :  the  Jews  adopted 
this  process  to  a  certain  extent,  "  the  manner 
of  the  Jews  "  being  to  bury  the  body  "  wound 
in  linen  clothes  with  spices,"  as  we  find  it  stated 
that  Ijazarns  was  swathed  with  bandages.

An  Appeal 

In  the  Zeitung  des  Jiulenthumn  of  August 
.3l3t,  we  find  an  appeal  to  all  friends  of  hu 
manity  in  behalf  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  city 
of  Boyanow.  An  appeal  is  made  to  the  press 
to  plead  for  the  destitute.  We  learn  from  the 
same  paper,  that  besides  the  nineteen  that  were 
burned,  there  are  a  number  sofferinf;  of  scalds 
received  at  the  fire.  Of  the  400  souls  com- 
prising the  congregation,  all  lost  their  houses  ; 
not  one  house  inhabited  by  Jews  was  saved. — 
The  appeal  is  signed  by  a  namber  of  promi- 
nent inhabitants  of  the  neighboring  cities, 
which  we  need  not  repeat  here. 

We  have  devoted  considerable  space  to  this 
subject  in  the  Gleaner  No.  40.  We  need  but 
state  that,  should  any  of  our  friends  in  the 
country  feel  disposed  to  do  an  act  of  charity, 
that  perhaps  never  conid  be  better  bestowed, 
Messrs.  S.  Craner,  L.  King,  and  P.  Berwin, 
will  be  glad  to  receive  contributions,  which 
will  be  acknowledged  in  the  Glsaner.  Let- 
ters from  that  quarter  bring  the  encouraging 
news,  that  great  sympathy  is  manifested  in 
Prussia  in  behalf  of  the  sufferers  of  the  con- 
flagration of  that  city.  Benefits  are  given  by 
the  theatres  in  aid  of  the  destitute.  The 
school  children  have  been  appealed  to,  and 
they  gave  their  savings.  But  we  must  by  no 
means  expect  that  all  these  contributions  can 
be  adequate  to  the  loss.  Rabbi  Meyer  Lands- 
berg,  who  was  the  Rabbi  of  Bayanow  since 
some  24  years,  took  refuge  at  Rawitz,  about 
nine  English  miles  from  Bayanow.  The  ven- 
erable Rabbi,  a  man  of  rare  piety  and  integri- 
ty, was  received  by  the  congregation  of  Ra- 
witz with  that  religious  sympathy  and  defer- 
ence BO  usual  in  Europe.  He  was  immediately 
provided  for  by  an  engagement  of  Da-yan  or 
Rabbi,  which,  our  earrespondent  does  not 
state. 

SwiTZKRi.AND. — The  Jews  are  now  allowed 
to  settle  in  every  place  of  Nenfchatel.  The 
last  place,  La  Ghanx  dc  Bonds,  has  lately  giv- 
en notice  that  no  further  restriction  exists  re- 
garding their  settlement  there. 

Sardinia. — The  government  is  desirous  for 
the  Jews  to  live  no  more  secluded,  but  to  live 
in  a  friendly  intercourse  with  their  neighbors. 
For  this  purpose,  the  sale  of  their  houses  in

I,  the  undersigned,  baviiig  lately  arrived  here,  following 
the  business  of  a  Shochath  from  an  early  period  in  Qer- 
many,  as  well  as  in  Fngland  :  having  certiBcates  from  the 
most  p'ominent  Rabbi's  in  Germany ;  aiso.  from  Dr.  Ad- 
ler  Obief  Rabbi  ef  Kni;land.  undtir  wh(ji>c  Jurisdiction  I 
have  served  twenty-five  years  in  the  capacity  of  hhocbatb. 
Reader  and  Teacher ;  now  intending  to  continue  here  the 
same  occupation.  I  the-efnrc  beg  the  Israelites  of  this 
city  to  favor  mo  with  their  kind  patronage,  especially  to 
Butrhc-ra,  who  will  jfiant  nie  their  custom. 

My  certiflcates  are  open  for  inspection  to  any  person  who 
may  be  desirous  for  pinmining  the  same.  Promising  to 
attend  on  those  who  may  honor  me  with  their  custon  with

The  Committee. 


We  again,  reluctantly,  must  epeak  a  few 
words  on  a  subject,  on  which  too  much,  as  we 
thought,  has  been  spoken  already. 

The  above  is  a  protest  against  one  of  our  ad>* 
vertisers,  Mr.  B.  .JacobsoD,  who  arrived  here 
lately,  and  who — not  considering  tbatoorSho- 
ohat  hag  been  here  as  many  years  as  Mr.  J. 
haa  week';  taking  no  notice  that  four  Sboch>> 
tim,  of  whom  none  knew  less  than  Mr.  J.,  de^ 
dared  our  Shochat  a  proficient;  contradicting 
our  statement  to  the  same  effect,  to  which  were 
added  four  other  names,   to   be  found  in  a  no« 

tiee  ia   these  columns.     ,  we  regret,  as  a 

stranger,    has  quite   forgot  himself,    when  he 
exclaimeth — 

ry  'D3N1  '3K 
"  I,  and  none  else." 

We  refused  to  be  one  of  the  committee  that 
publishes  the  advertisement  before  us,  as  there 
is  DO  need  for  a  protest 

The  postscript  blames  us  for  opening  the  col- 
umns of  the  "  Gleaner  "  to  such  an  advertise* 
ment;  but  the  writers  do  not  consider*  that 
had  we  refused  the  insertion,  we  Mould  have 
bad  another  advertisement  in  our  city  papers, 
offering  religious  performances  m  the  market, 
to  our  sosniJal;  and  we  have  had  enough  ais 
ready.  We,  therefore,  admitted  the  advertise* 
ment,  and  merely  accompanied  it  by  on«  line. 

However,  as  we  wish  to  close,  at  once,  the 
Shochtirn  question,  for  which  in  this  State,  but 
very,  very  few  csre,  our  advertiser,  as  a  Sho- 
chat, ought  to  have  known  that  certificates,  of 
which  the  latest  given  by  an  authorized  rabbi, 
is  dated  seven  years  back,  are  of  qo,  value  in 
any  other  country,  much  less  in  the  United 
States.  As  (or  a  testiraonial  of  a  rabbi  of  Lons 
don,  dated  so  far  back,  the  Right  Beverend 
Alexander,  Pishop  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
church  of  Jerusalem,  has  had  such  from  a 
rabbi  of  London,  less  snperanuated,  and  sure-, 
ly,  little  as  is  cared  hjere  about  Sbocbtim  and 
their  Shechit^b,  the  oertifiicate  could  not  even 
make  the  bishop  of  the  Protestant  Episcopate 
of  Jerusalem  Shochct  of  the  indifferent  city  of 

San  Franeiseo. 

We  regret  that  Mr.  Jaeobson  has  not  taken 
different  measures  to  gain  the  coafidence  ol 
his  fellow-cilicens,  than  to  assume  authority, 
and  commit  an  act  of  indiscretion.

Problem  for  Fsyoologists. 

The  New  York  Times  records  the  fol- 
lowing jiocount,  as  given  by  Mr.  (ieorgv", 
on<!  of  the  survivors,  of  ii  scene  which  oc- 

<^llrl^o^^  <in   fhftt  ffW'fi^l  n'ght  whon  thu  Ciai- 

tral    America  wiis   lost ;    and  refers  the 
matter  to  psychologists  for  a  solution  : — 

"  We  heard  a  passenger  describe  his 
sensations  in  this  wise  : — 1  guess  I  had 
been  about  four  hours  in  the  water,  and 
haxl  floated  uwuy  from  the  rest,  when  the 
waves  ceased  to  make  any  noise,  and  1 
heard  my  mother  say,  'Johnny,  did  you 
eat  sister's  grapes  ?'  I  hadn't  "thought  of 
it  for  twenty  years  at  least.  It  iia<i  gone 
clean  out  of  my  mind.  1  had  a  sister  that 
died  of  consumption  more  than  thirty 
years  ago,  and  when  she  was  sick — 1  was 
a  liny  of  eleven  years  or  so-^a  neighbor 
had  sent  her  some  early  hothouse  grapes. 
Well,  those  grapes  were  left  in  a  room 
where  1  was — I  ought  to  have  boon  .skin- 
ned alive  for  it,  little  rascal  that  I  was — I 
devoured  them  all.  Mother  came  t()  me 
after  I  had  gone  to  bod,  when  she  could'nt 
find  the  fruit  for  sister  to  soften  her  mouth 
with  in  the  night,  and  said,  'Johnny,  did 
you  oat  sister's  grapes?  1  did  not  add  to 
the  meanness  of  my  conduct  by  telling  a 
lie.  I  owned  up,  and  my  mother  went 
away  in  tears,  but  without  flogging  me.

hours.  Mr.  6.  was  already  in  the  transe 
Htate,  which  is  one  of  the  stages  of  death, 
and  in  .this  state,  life  with  its  beguiling 
appearance  recedes,  and  the  human  soul 
sees  itself  as  it  is — it  sees  its  whole  his- 
tory written  before  its  spiritual  eye,  and 
hears  the  voices  of  reproach  or  applause 
ringing  before  its  spiritual  oar.  In  this 
state,  in  that  of  transition  and  in  our  fu- 
turc  existence,  wrr  hcai  and  .see  oui  histu' 


for  many  a  year  after ;  but,  as  I  said,  for 
twenty  years,  at  least,  I  had  not  thought 
of  it,  till  when  I  was  floating  about,  be- 
numbed with  cold,  I  heard  it  as  plain  jus 
ever  I  heard  it  as  plain  as  ever  I  heard  a 
voice  in  my  life.  I  heard  mother  say, 
'Johnny,  did  you  oat  sister's  grapes?'  1 
don't  know  how  to  account  for  it.  It  did 
not  scare  mo  though.  1  thought  it  was 
a  presage  of  my  death." 

Beply. 

The  earnest  desire  of  being  instrimicn- 
tiil  in  impressing  our  readers  of  a  solemn 
truth  of  vital  interest  to  our  eternal  hap- 
pin'ess  impels  us  to  take  up  this  subject, 
and  try  to  do  it  justice. 

It  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  con- 
cerning the  human  soul  retribution. 

This  phenomenon,  viz :  of  certain  inci- 
dents in  our  lives,  nay  of  our  whole  his- 
tory, passing  before  us  as  in  review,  nay 
of  following  us  and  witnessing  for  or 
against  us  during  and  aft^r  our  exit  of 
this  life — we  say  the  phenomenon  of  Mr. 
George,  in  his  peculiar  situation,  like 
others  tjf  a  spiritual  nature  does  not  stand 
isolated. 

Mr.  G.  supposed  ho  had,  when  he  hoard 
the  voice,  been  about  four  hour's  in  the 
water ;  he  had  boon  drifted  away  from 
the  other  passengers — he  wjis  quite  alone 
in  the  dark  night  on  the  surface  of  the 
water — he  was  benumbed  with  cold ;  he 
was  already  so  far  gone  that  the  roaring 
waves  around  him — wo  know  from  the 
testimony  of  others,  that  the  storm  con- 
tinued— had  "  ceased  to  make  any  noise," 
it  was  under  these  circumstances  that  the 
voice  struck  the  internal  ear  of  Mr.  G. — 
From  the  narrative  and  the  circumstances 
it  appears  that  Mr.  G.  was  already  in  a 
atate  of  transition ;  from  this  our  mode 
of  existence  ;  here  called  life,  to  that  into 
which  we  pass  on  leaving  our  bodie^s, 
commonly  willed  death — he  was,  to  an 
extent,  already  Mead  to  the  terrcstial  im- 
impressions ;  ho  was  cold,  did  not  hear 
any  more  the  roaring  waves — and  suppo- 
ses to  have  been  in  the  water  about  four 


ry,'|our  whole  life  ;  and  are  seen  accom- 
panied by  our  virtues  and  our  sins.  Mr. 
(J.  began  already  to  hear  the  reproach  of 
that  sin  which  was  most  deeply  impressed 
on  his  mind. 

Wp  have  the  testimony  of  numbers  of 
similar  eases  of  the  dying  and  the  dead.

pauying  them  in  their  future  state.  It  is 
a  serious  thought — it  is  one  wh<.)se  influ- 
ence on  our  lives  would  be  oxtraordinarv. 
We  shall  appear  odd  to  the  plain  read- 
er ;  but  strange  as  this  aSBertion  may  ap- 
pear to  him  who  does  not  believe  in  a 
soul  or  immorality — we  have  philosophy 
and  divinity  on  our  side,  and  the  discov- 
ery of  modern  science  proves  the  theories 
or  experiences  of  these  divines  txiid  phil- 
osoj)hers  to  be  fac-ts.

9,  where  he  will  find  a  curious  instance  of 

a  Clairvoyant,  who  saw  Mary  Steward, 

(picen  of  the  Scots.      We  will  her»,  in  the 

first  instance, allow  Abercrombie  to  speak. 

In    the  preliminany   observations  to  his 

philosophy  of  the  moral  feelings,  he  states: 

"  In  our  present  state  of  being,  we  are  sur- 
rounded with  objects  of  sense;  and  the  mind 
is  kept,  in  a  great  degree,  under  the  influence 
of  external  things.  In  this  manner  it  often 
happens,  that  facte  and  considerations  elude 
our  attention,  and  deeds  escape  from  our  mem- 
ory, in  a  manner  which  would  not  ocoor,  were 
the  mind  left  at  liberty  to  recall  its  own  asso- 
ciations, and  to  feel  the  influence  of  principles 
which  are  really  part  of  the  mental  constitu- 
tion. It  is  thus,  that,  amid  the  bustle  of  life, 
the  attention  is  apt  to  be  engrossed  by  consid- 
erations of  a  local  and  an  inferior  character ; 
while  faots  and  motives  of  the  highest  moment 
are  overlooked,  and  deeds  of  our  own,  long 
gone  by,  escape  from  our  remembrance.  We 
thus  lose  a  correct  sense  of  our  moral  condition, 
and  yield  to  the  agency  of  present  and  external 
things,  in  a  manner  disproportioned  to  their 
real  value.  For  our  highest  coHctrn  at  moral 
beings  is  with  things  future,  and  things  unseen  ; 
and  often  with  circumstances  in  our  own  moral 
history  long  past,  and  perhaps  forgotten. — 
Uenca  the  benefit  ef  retireuient  and  calm  res 
flection,  and  of  everything  that  tends  to  with>> 
draw  us  from  the  impression  of  sensible  objects, 
and  that  leads  us  to  feel  the  superiority  of 
things  which  are  not  seen.  Under  snch  influ- 
ence, the  mind  displays  an  astonishing  power 
of  recalling  the  past  and  grasping  the  future, 
— and  of  viewing  objects  in  their  true  relations 
to  itself,  and  to  each  other.  The  first  of  these, 
indeed,  we  see  exemplified  in  many  affections, 
in  which  the  mind  is  cut  off,  in  a  greater  or 
less  degree,  from  its  intercourse  with  the  ex- 
ternal world,  by  eauses  acting  upon  the  bodily 
organization. 

This  subject  is  one  of  Intense  interest,  and 
suggests  reneotionsof  the  most  important  kind, 
respecting  the  powers  and  properties  of  the 
thinking  principle.  In  particular,  it  leads  us 
to  a  period  which  we  are  taught  to  anticipate 
even  by  the  inductions  of  intellectual  science, 
when,  the  bodily  frame  beiug  dissolved,  the  think- 
ing and  reasoning  essence  shall  exercise  its 
peculiar  faculties  in  a  higher  state  of  being. — 
There  are  facts  in  the  mental  phenomena  which 
give  a  high  degree  of  probability  to  the  conjees 
ture,  thai  the  %>koU  transa«%%ont  of  life,  with  the 
motives  and  moral  history  of  each  iiulividual, 
may  be  retailed  by  a  proeut  bf  the  mind  itself, 
and  plated,  as  at  a  single  glance,  distinctly  be- 
fore him.  Were  we  to  realize  such  a  mental 
condition,  we  should  not  fail  to  contemplate 
the  impressions  so  recalled,  with  feelings  very 
different  from  those  by  which  we  are  apt  to  be 
misled  amid  the  influence  of  present  and  exN 
ternal  things.  The  tumult  of  life  is  over ;  pure 
suits,  principles,  and  motives,  which  once  bor* 
an  aspect  of  importance,  ar«  viewed  with  feel* 
inga  more  adapted  to  their  trua  valua.    The

voice  is  suflBcieDt  to  protect  our  camp,  and  to 
show  our  ne'gbbor  what  our  rights  are  on  his 
ground. 

We  need  not  put  on  the  arms  of  Goliah  to 
ward  off  u  dwarf ;  if  a  mere  word  in  season 
from  the  proper  place  would  secure  everything 
from  him  that  wc  want. 

The  Swiss  treaty  is  now  occupying  our 
Western  press,  and  no  doubt  on  the  presentao 
tion  of  a  petition  to  Congrei<s,  though  not 
signed  by  the  millions,  or  even  the  thousands 
of  the  nation,  the  case  being  plain,  our  govern- 
ment will  make  proper  representations  to  the 
few  cantons  of  Switzerland  where  excsptiona! 
laws  do  still  exist,  and  the  offence  will  be  at 
once  removed.  Tbis  is  all  that  is  required,  and 
snch  measures  being  already  in  process  of  being 
taken  in  the  Atlantic  States,  we  merely  hinted 
at  the  matter.  We  were  afraid  again  to  afford 
food  for  some  of  oar  demas^ogal  (mis)  leaders 
who,  on  every  occasion,  make  so  much  noise 
and  have  so  much  to  say. 


As  to  the  true  state  ot  the  matter,  there  is 
DO  expulsion  from  Spain,  nor  a  persecution  of 
Damascus  that  we  have  to  ward  off.  All  the 
difficulty  is,  that  a  few  American  Israelites  do 
not  enjoy,  in  a  few  Swiss  cities,  the  full  right 
of  citizens.  True  there  is  a  principle  at  stake ; 
let  us  try  to  settle  matters  on  principle.  A 
petition  drafted  by  the  managers  of  every 
Synagogue  could  be  sent  about  for  signatures 
to  the  citizens  at  large  and  sent  to  Washing- 
ton. By  this  means  we  prevent  the  demagogues 
from  work  among  the  crowds.  That  the  Swiss 
grievances  are  easily  removable,  will  appear 
from  the  following  extracts  from  a  letter  ad- 
dressed by  a  citizen  of  Longenau,  (Switzerland) 
to  the  editor  of  the  "  Zeitung  d  Judenthum.' 
As  to  the  settlements  of  Jews  in  Switzerland, 
he  writes  : 

Aargau  is  the  only  place  where  properly 
natives  Swiss  of  the  Mosaic  faith  are  to  be 
met  with  ;  however  there  arc  also  some  at  Ge. 
neva.  The  most  important  cantons  allow  Jews 
to  settle ;  and  in  Aargau  they  enjoy  equal 
rights  with  Christians.  As  to  religious  hatred 
in  Switzerland,  that  was  never  so  dangerous 
OS  it  was  represented.  Of  rough  popular  tu- 
mults  against  the  Jews,  none  happened  since 
fifty  years.  Of  events  as  those  that  hap 
pened  in  Elsace  in  1848,  nothing  was  heard  of 
in  Switzerland  since  the  middle  ages.  Of  the 
laws  of  those  times  which  are  not  cancelled 
yet,  some  classes  know  notbing.  Since 
1846  and  1848  our  human  magistrates  are  en- 
deavoring to  ameliorate  our  state.  With 
the  completion  of  our  code  in  1853  the  last 
barrier  was  rsmoved.  But  so  far  we  have 
proceeded  not  by  interposition  from  among  us 
(referring  to  the  imputed  efforts  of  their  Rabbi) 
but  it  is  owing  to  the  very  nature  of  a  free 
State,  (Republic,)  which  we  are,  and  to  the 
progress  of  humanity. 

It  is  elsewhere  stated,  that  we  cannot  travel 
an  hour  in  Switzerland  without  meeting  a 
Jew,  these  come  over  from  Elsace,  and  in  the 
west,  at  least,  they  are  allowed  to  settle.  Also 
from  Baden  several  have  come  over  and  have 
found  a  conveuicut  spot  in  (bcquemes  Plactr- 
chen.) 

None  of  the  Western  congregations  have  a 
Rabbi.  Though  French,  they  stand  neither  ua^ 
der  the  consistory  nor  under  the  Swiss  Rabbles; 
neither  do  they  feel  the  want  (or  regret.)  Some 
have  voluntarily  placed  themselves  under  the 


gnideance  of  the  Babbi  of  Befenbeim,  aad  on 
visiting  their  bouses,  it  is  easily  discernible  that 
a  rational  spirit  inspires  them,  (the  writer  pro. 
bably  contrasts  them  with  the  French,  who 

live  an  indifferent,  careless  life.) 

From  this  communication  we  may  see  that 

the  case  is  not  such  a  deplorable  one. 

Would  that  our  people  were  as  sensitive  in  re- 
gard to  their  religious  wants  as  they  are  to  the 
political  rights  ;  and  would  that  they  would  be 
^oTded  religiously  by  tfae  and  honest  mtii,  aa 
they  generally  are  by  demagogues  and  other 
leaders — we  then  would  have  less  cause  to  de- 
plore our  defection  and  disabilities. 


Who  or  what  controlled  that  Bird? 

He  maketh  the  wind*  his  mefwenKcrs  (angels.)  the  flam- 
ing flrq  his  m  n  sters  uervant.— Psalm  104 : 4 

We  have  in  the  New  York  Herald  and  the 
San  Francisco  Bniletin  that  a  little  bird  indu- 
ced the  captain  of  the  Norwegian  barque  to 
change  the  course  of  his  vessel,  and,  as  a  con- 
sequence, she  came  among  the  struggling  men 
from  beneath  whom  the  steamer  Central  Amer- 
ica had  sunk,  The  following  little  narrative 
of  the  captain,  is  interesting  and  suggestive. 
He  says  — 

"  I  was  forced  by  the  wind  to  sail  a  little  out. 
of  my  course  before  I  came  up  with  you,  and 
on  altering  it,  a  small  bird  flew  across  the  ship 
once  or  twice,  and  then  darted  into  ray  face 
I,  however,  took  no  notice  of  this  circnnistance, 
and  the  something  occurred  again,  which  caus- 
ed me  to  regard  the  circumstances,  as  some> 
thing  extraordinary,  and  while  thinking  on  it 
in  this  way,  the  mysterious  bird  for  the  tnird 
time  appeared  and  went  through  the  same  ex- 
traordinary manoeuvers.  Upon  this,  1  was  in- 
duced to  re-alter  my  course  into  the  original 
true  wh'uiit  I  had  bewa  sltwriog,  aod  ia  a  short 
time  I  heard  noises,  and  on  trying  to  discover 
what  they  proceeded  from,  discovered  that  I 
was  in  the  midst  of  people  who  had  been  ship- 
wrecked." 

Let  this  be  th'e  language  of  e  zcitement  and 
earnestness,  engendered  by  the  terrific  scene  ; 

frant  that  it  may  not  be  very  exact — yet  it 
ecomes  quite  meaningless,  if  it  does  not  state 
OS  a  fact,  that  a  small  bird  caused  the  experien 
eed  mariner  to  shift  his  helm,  and  by  so  doing 
bring  his  barque  into  the  midst  of  those  who 
were  ready  to  perish.  The  small  bird  caused 
a  change  ii^  the  ship's  course.  Was  this  action 
of  the  bird  accidental  ?  The  captain,  neces- 
sarily familiar  with  ocean  birds,  read  in  the 
thrice  repeated  movements  something  more 
than  chance  or  accident,  for  by  this  he  "  was 
induced  to  resalter  his  course."  Not  only  so, 
but  he  deemed  the  facts  worth  telling  ;  and 
those  who  trace  the  preservation  of  their  lives 
to  the  little  feathered  pilot,  have  promptly 
given  the  story  world-wide  circulation.  The 
actions  of  this  little  bird,  amid  the  darkness 
and  the  surges,  were  to  this  noble  seaman,  so 
distinct  a  command  to  put  his  ship  upon  her 
former  coarse,  that  he  obeyed  and  by  obeying 
he  became  instrumental  in  saving  many  lives. 
Did  instinct— feel  for  drowning  men,  and  acts 
for  their  deliverance  t  or  was  there  an  intellii- 
gence  higher  than  the  bird's  controlling  its  ac- 
tions and  making  it  an  unconscious  agent  of 
rescue  from  the  waves?  The  latter suppositon 
seems  needed  to  meet  the  facts  as  given  and 
implied. 

"The  facts  of  cases  like  this — and  history 
records  thousands  of  instances —  are  worthy 
of  preservation.  A  collection  of  them  might 
show  that  some  of  the  superstitions  ot  the 
world  in  reference  to  the  occasional  actions  of 
birds  and  brutes,  have  their  foundation  on 
facts,  and  are,  indeed,  deep  philosophies. 
Piobally  Hell  whose  hand  (power)  are  the 
spirit  of  all  the  living"  made  this  little  bird  his 
angel  (meseenger,  agent  ;  for  this  is  the  import 
of  the  word  angel)  to  become  a  means  of  pre- 
servation of  those  who  were  destined  for  along" 
er  stay  among  us — .  Where  is  the  difficulty  of 
such  a  belief?  Does  he  not  make  the  winds  his 
antrels,   "the  flamingifire  his  ministers" 

Wherever  we  direct  our  shoitsighted  view, 
we  see  a  god,  and  his  directing  power,  wo  see 
a  Providence. 

Adapted. 
I  However  for  those  who  do  not  believe  in  ex'< 
traordinary  interferences — may  account  for  the 
little  bird's  repeated  approach  from  its  prob- 
able social  habit,  being  long  at  sea'  the  little 
roamers  will  instructively  approach  living  be« 
ings  whose  eight  deligets  them — But  then  again 
was  not  the  idea  that  stru'^k  the  captain  prov"

bird  which  induced  Capt  Johnson,  of  the  bark 
Ellen,  to  deviate  frara  his  course,  and  was 
thereby  the  means  of  bis  saving  many  lives

Two  Million  Tons  of  Silver. 

Truly,  the  wonders  of  science  will  never 
cease.  The  &cta  that  are  daily  developing  are 
more  remarkable  than  the  inventions  of  poets 
or  romancers.  Under  the  searching  eye  of 
science  the  most  ordinary  substances  of  nature 
reveal  secrets  which  astonish  reason  and  star" 
tie  credibility.  Hitherto  the  phrase  "  silvery 
sprae  "  has  been  deemed  but  a  poetical  expres- 
sion ;  bat  it  embodies  a  scientific  truth ! — 

"WT^  III  T  n  ■■  Ji  Aft^a  II*  ai  1  pftr  w  rvfl  i-£\  am  v  ^  hfl  t

the  ocean  by  moonlight  rambles  a  "  sea  of 
molten  silver,"  is  bat  an  exagerated  expression 
of  a  scientific  fact.  Three  French  chemists, 
as  we  learn  from  Household  Words,  have  been 
experimenting  on  the  subject,  aod  their  labors 
have  led  them  to  the  conclusion  that  the  ocean 
holds  dissolved  two  millions  of  tons  of  silver ! 
Tbey  took  water  from  the  coast  of  St.  Malo, 
a  few  leagues  from  land,  and  analyzed  it  in  two 
ways.  A  portion  of  the  water  they  acted 
upon  by  the  usual  tests  of  silver,  and  the  pres- 
ence of  the  precious  metal  was  clearly  ascer- 
tained. The  remainder  of  the  water  they 
evaporated,  and  the  salt  they  obtained  they 
boiled  with  lead.  This  lamp  of  impure  lead 
tbey  placed  on  a  saucer  made  of  lime,  and  then 
submitted  it  to  a  heat  sufficient  to  melt  tbe 
lead,  but  not  to  effect  the  silver,  should  any  be 
present.  The  lead,  as  it  melted,  was  sacked 
Bp  by  tbe  porous  saucer,  and  finally  a  small 
globule  of  silver  glistened  in  tbe  vessel.  This 
process  is  called  cupellation,  and  is  the  ordi* 
nary  mode  of  procuring  silver  from  the  ore. — 
Again  and  again  they  repeated  the  experiment 
with  tbe  same  success.  From  these  experi- 
ments they  made  tbe  calculation,  that  a  cubic 
mile  of  ocean  contains  two  pounds  and  three 
quarters  weight  of  silver. 

After  this  they  made  another  series  of  ex- 
periments. They  gathered  seaweeds,  selecting 
those  known  to  botanists  as/uci,  because  they 
have  no  roots  to  insert  in  the  rocks,  and  must 
therefore  derive  all  their  aliment  from  the  sea. 
These  they  analysed  and  found  to  be  twenty 
six  times  richer  in  silver  than  the  water  itself. 
These  results  attracted  the  attention  of  Mr. 
Frederick  Field,  an  English  aesayer  of  silver 
in  Chili,  who  commenced  a  coarse  of  experis 
meats  upon  the  copper  or  yellow  metal  with 
which  the  halls  of  vessels  are  sheathed.  Tak- 
ing some  sheathing  metal  from  a  vessel  which 
was  being  repaired,  that  had  been  trading  on 
the  Pacific  for  seven  years,  he  obtained  from 
five  thonsand  grains,  a  trifle  more  than  twe 
grains  of  silver,  which  is  equal  to  one  pound 
one  ounce  two  pennyweights  fifteen  grains  to 
the  ton.  He,  among  other  experiments,  took 
from  the  cabin  of  a  vessel,  a  piece  of  metal 
which  had  never  been  exposed  to  sea  water, 
&Dd  another  piece  of  equal  weight  from  the 
hall,  which  bad  been  three  years  at  sea.  The 
metal  from  the  hall  yielded  eight  times  as  much 
silver  as  that  taken  from  the  cabin.  These 
experiments  were  multiplied,  with  the  same 
result,  the  comparative  difference  between  the 
two  metals  varying  according  to  the  length  of 
time  the  ship  had  been  to  sea— the  longer  at 
sea  the  greater  the  difference. 

These  experiments  naturally  led  to  others 
If  the  sea  contained  silver,  where  might  it  not 
be  found  ?  The  wood  of  the  oak,  birch,  beech, 
Apple  and  other  trees,  growing  at  long  distan- 
ces from  the  sea,  were  burnt,  and  in  their  ash 
es  silver  was  detected.  And  if  plants  contain 
silver,  it  was  not  difficult  to  infer  that  it  ex- 
isted also  in  animals.  This  was  proved  to  be 
the  case  by  an  experiment  which  brought  these 
remarkable  researches  to  a  triumphant  con- 
clusion. An  ox  was  sacrificed  to  science,  and 
in  his  blood  was  discovered  the  same  valued 
metal. 

Of  coarse,  we  may  presume  that  the  same 
result  would  follow  the  analyzation  of  human 
blood.  To  "  coin  my  heart's  blood,"  therefore, 
will  be  no  unmeaning  exclamation  hereafter, 
for  the  chemist  may  extract  therefrom  pure 
silver.    And  if  this  rich  ore  exists  in  the  blood, 


it  must  also  be  a  constituent  part  of  the  other 
fluids  of  the  body  ;  for  the  French  chemists 
have  settled  the  fact  that  silver  exists  in  ap- 
preciable quantities  in  water,  wood  and  blood. 
The  explanation  given  of  these  phenomena* 
is,  that  the  sulphide  of  silver,  or  silver  in  com- 
bination with  sulphur,  is  very  widely  diffused 
in  nature.  Salt  water  attacks  the  sulphide, 
and  converts  it  into  chloride  of  silver,  which 
it  dissolves  by  the  agency  of  common  salt. — 

of  the  earth,  acts  in  a  similar  manner,  dissolv- 
ing out  small  quantities  of  metal,  which  it 
carries  off  and  transfers  to  plants,  and  from 
plants  it  is  received  by  animals  in  their  food. 
What  the  value  of  the  discovery  may  be,  re- 
mains to  be  proved. 


On  Seeing  a  Mummy. 

The  following  reflections  on  seeing  a  mum' 
my,  are  just,  natural,  and  well  expressed.— 
They  are  from  the  Village  Recerd  : — 

They  have  been  into  the  chambers  of  the 
dead  ;  they  have  disinterred  an  inhabitant  of 
the  grave.  She  is  brought  to  light ;  a  lovely 
woman  of  Egypt ;  she  is  brought  to  light ;  af- 
ter reposing  three  thousand  years  in  darkness, 
but  not  to  LiFK.  It  is  a  resurrection  before 
the  appointed  time.  Her  sleep  is  not  out;  her 
slumbers  are  not  over ;  the  hand  of  death  is 
yet  heavy  upon  her.  Still  we  feel  it  to  be 
strange  company  ;  she  seems  to  speak,  though 
dumb.  What  are  all  those  efforts  to  preserve 
from  decay  this  mortal  frame  ?  Those  bands  ef 
linen,  those  gums  and  spices,  those  embalmed 
preparations,  so  artfully  devised  ?  They  tell 
us  of  the  dread  of  annihilation  ;  they  speak 
the  strong  feelings  of  the  soul — the  powerful 
desire  for  immortality  ;  and  they  strengthen 
the  belief  of  a  future  life,  by  showing  how 
strongly  the  God  of  nature  has  implanted  the 
desire  in  our  breasts. 

What  more  do  we  le»rn  ?  Beads !  a  neck- 
lace !  Aye,  it  was  a  female  ;  these  were  her 
ornaments.  Then  the  female  character  is  not 
changed.  Woman  was  vain  three  thousand 
years  ago.  She  had  finery,  trinkets,  beads  !— 
That  is  illiberal.  She  desired  to  please.  She 
was  lovely,  and  her  friends  delighted  to  see  her 
charms  heightened  by  ornaments.  The  desire 
to  render  one's  self  agreeable,  is  it  not  praise 
worthy  ? 

Ha !  ha !  Is  it  laughter  ?  or  is  it  the  sound 
of  the  trumpet  ?  Hark  !  behold !  Both  ;  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet  and  the  shout  of  joy  !— 
The  gay  laugh,  the  trampling  of  steeds,  the 
rolling  of  wheels,  give  token  that  from  her 
hundred  gates,  Thebes  is  sending  forth  her 
warriors  to  battle.  See  them  pass  under  the 
window  of  the  fair  maiden.  She  is  decorated 
to  bid  him  farewell,  whose  footsteps  make  her 
heart  flatter  like  a  captive  bird.  She  stands 
ready  to  wish  him  honor  and  a  safe  return. — 
He  bows  his  head  to  the  neck  of  his  gallant 
Bteed — kisses  his  hand — dashes  away  the  brine 
drop  that  steals  from  his  eye.  A  thousand 
tumultuous  passions  throng  his  breast.  She 
smiles  through  her  tears,  and  waves  her  white 
handkerchief  from  tbe  window.  Where  are 
they  low  ?  Where  is  Thebes,  and  where  her 
countless  multitudes?  Nothing  of  all  her 
pride,  and  power,  and  greatness,  but  this  poor 
mummy,  left!  Behold  this  virgin,  now  ex- 
posed to  the  vulgar  gaze.  How  would  she 
have  shrunk  at  the  thought.  How  supreme 
the  folly  of  attempting  to  arrest  the  course  of 
aature.  The  world  and  its  joys  are  false.  All 
hopes  of  mortal  immortality  are  false.  We 
are  all  vanity.  "  Dust  thou  art,  and  unto  dust 
thou  Shalt  return."  The  spirit  only  can  sur- 
vive.   "  There's  nothing  true  but  heaven."

The  Hair. 

It  is.a  great  mistake  t*  plait  the  hair  of 
children  under  eleven  or  twelve  years  of  age. 
The  process  of  plaiting  more  or  less  strains  the 
hairs  in  their  roots  by  pulling  them  tight ; 
tends  to  deprive  them  of  their  requisite  supply 
of  nutriment,  and  checks  their  growth.  The 
hair  of  girls  should  be  cut  rather  short,  and 
allowed  to  curl  freely.  When  they  are  about 
eleven  or  twelve,  the  hair  should  be  twisted 
rnttj  a  coil,  ntrt  too  tight,  nor  tied  at  the  end 
with  thin  thread,  but  with  a  piece  of  riband. 

The  hair  ^jtlbs  are  the  parts  usually  called 
roots  of  the  -hair.  In  their  sides  a  great  num- 
ber of  capillaries  exist,  firom  the  blood  of  which 
the  hairs  are  formed.  As  long  as  tbe  bulbs 
exist,  the  hairs  can  be  produced.  When  the 
bulbs  die  they  are  not  replaced.  To  reproduce 
hair  which  has  fallen  out,  we  must  try  to  ei- 
cite  tbe  activity  of  the  balbs,  and  to  cause 
them  to  receive  a  good  supply  of  blood  by 
friction,  by  pouring  cold  water  for  a  few  min 
utes  at  a  time  upon  the  part,  and  by  gently 
irritating  applications.* 

To  preserve  the  hair,  it  should  be  cleansed 
from  time  to  time,  and  also  the  surface  of  the 
skin  from  which  it  grows  once  per  week  at 
least  with  Castile  soap  and  warm  water,  after 
which  a  little  artificial  oil  should  be  applied,  as 
may  be  also  at  other  times,  if  sufficient  oil  ia 
net  formed  by  the  skin.f 

The  hair  should  not  receive  a  profusion  of 
oil,  and  above  all  things  should  not  be  daily 
wet,  '•  sopping  "  wet,  to  cause  it  to  lay  smooth- 
ly :  it  rains  the  hair. 

Tq  Protrntt  (ie  Qr'.>^"'k  f]f  Ho  it — Mix 
equal  parts  of  olive  oil  and  spirits  of  rosemary, 
and  add  a  few  drops  of  oil  of  nutmeg.  If  the 
hair  be  rubbed  every  night  with  a  little  of  this 
liniment,  and  the  proportion  be  very  gradually 
augmented,  it  will  answer  every  purpose  of 
increasing  the  growth  of  hair,  much  more  ef- 
fectually than  can  be  attained  by  any  of  the 
boasted  empirical  preparations  whtch  are  im^ 
posed  on  the  credulous  purchaser. 

To  prevent  Hair  from  falling  out. — 
Make  a  strong  decoction  of  white  oak  bark  in 
water,  and  use  it  freely.  It  is  best  to  make 
but  little  at  a  time,  and  have  it  fresh  at  least 
once  a  fortnight. 

To  improve  (he  Iluir. — Powdered  harts- 
horn, mixed  with  oil,  being  rubbed  upon  the 
head  of  persons  who  have  lost  their  hair,  will 
cause  it  to  grow  again.  A  very  good  oil  for 
tbe  hair  is  made  by  mixing  one  part  of  the 
liquid  hartshorn  with  nine  parts  of  pure  cas-

An  conomioal  Hair  Wash. — Dissolve 
in  one  quart  of  boiling  water  one  ounce  of  bo- 
rax and  half  an  ounce  of  camphor ;  these  in- 
gredients fine.  When  cool,  the  solution  will 
be  ready  for  use.  Damp  the  hair  with  it  fre- 
quently. This  wash  not  only  cleanses  and 
beautifies,  but  strengthens  the  hair,  preserves 
the  color,  and  prevents  baldness. 

To  remove  Superflous  Hair. — This  is 
very  difficult,  for  if  you  pull  the  hair  out  by 
the  roots  from  those  places  which  it  disfigures, 
there  are  thoasands  of  roots  ready  to  start 
through  the  skin  the  moment  you  make  room 
for  them.  Old  authors  recommend  depilato- 
ries in  great  variety.  The  principal  of  these 
methods  consist  in  rubbing  upon  tbe  part  from 
which  the  hair  is  to  be  removed,  leaqen,  pars- 
ley water,  juice  of  acacia,  the  gum  of  ivy  or 
of  the  cherry  tree,  dissolved  in  spirits  of  wine, 
etc.  Madame  Elisi  Voiart,  in  her  "  Encyclo- 
pedic des  Dames,"  recommends  a  few  drops  of 
dulcified  spirit  of  salt,  (that  is,  muriatic  acid 
distilled  with  rectified  spirits  of  wine,)  to  be 
applied  with  a  camel  hair  pencil. 

*  One  of  the  best  Ib  compoaed  of  a  vary  weak  tincture 
of  canthsrides  ind  l>rnndy.  Immediately  sftor  the  appli- 
caUon,  a  littlo  oil  should  be  applle<l. 

t  The  best  kind  Ie  formed  of  two  pints  iweet  oil  and  one 
pint  almond  oil,  perftimed  a«  a  pernoa  likes.  To  get  the 
best  oil  of  cuch  kind,  a  bottle  of  it  should  l>e  placed  where 
It  i«  cold,  and  chilled  io  part,  aad  tbe  liquid  porUon  poured 
off  for  use.

THE    WEEKLY    GLEANER 


THE  FAMILY. 


9Chooi  IVoticc. 

Our  children  are  invited  to  attend 
School  on  Saturdays  and  Sundays,  as 
usurl. 


Religious  Instruction. 

Have  our  children  religious  iustrnction  ? — 
Learning  a  few  historic  facts  from  the  Bible 
is  not  religions  instruction.  Reading  Hebrew 
may  bare  nothing  to  do  with  religion  at  all. — 
Dogmatical  repetitious  of  the  attributes  of 
God  in  themselves,  are  very  far  from  being 
worthy  of  the  name  of  religions  instruction. 
Do  your  children  receive  religious  instruction  ? 
Do  they  receive  impression  of  the  existence  of 
a  God ;  are  they  made  to  feel  the  presence  o^^ 
that  God  ;  do  they  receive  that  God  in  their 
hearts ;  do  they  learn  early  to  love  and  revei* 
ence  that  God,  and  to  hitve  "  Him  continually 
before  their  eyes  ?  Do  you  perceive  them 
grow  ia  grace  ?  Do  they  enjoy  the  blessing 
of  the  spirit?  Is  their  soul  inspired  with  the 
love  of  God  ?  If  you  see  such  fruit  then  yo« 
may  presume  that  your  children  improve,  that 
they  enjoy  religious  instruction,  that  you  dis- 
charge a  parental  duty. 

But  let  ua  tell  you  that  religion  can  only  be 
commuuicated  by  the  religious — he  who  baa 
no  God  in  bis  own  bearC  cannot  impress  Him 
on  that  of  your  children — no  man  can  give 
what  he  does  not  possess — no  man  can  impress 
on  a  subject  that  which  he  is  not  impressed  of 
himself. 

If  you  want  religious  children,  (when  we 
speak  of  religion,  we  mean  an  affection,  and 
not  automatic  observances,)  you  can  only  get 
this  effected  by  being  religious  yourself,  and 
by  committing  them  to  the  care  of  religious 
teachers. 

By  a  certain  constitution  of  our  race,  the 
unperrerted  soul  foels  instinctively  who  tries 
to  impress  it,  and  the  parent  or  teacher  whose 
God  has  His  seat,  not  in  the  rhcart8,but  on  their 
tongues  ;  to  whom  religion  is  but  a  matter  of 
conversation  and  speculation  —  from  them 
children  will  never  allow  themselves  to  be  im- 
pressed— they  never  can  be  teachers  of  relis 
giom. 

Wo  will  say  no  more,  but  we  sincerely  ask 
you,  liuve  your  children  religious  mslnution  ?

My  Mother  in  her  Closet. 

Nothing  used  to  impress  upon  my  mind 
so  strongly  the   ruulity   and  cxcellc.noe  of 
religion,   as   my    motheM-'s   counseils  and 
prayers.       Very   friM|ucntly    she   retired 
with  her  childrem  to  a  private  room;  and 
after  she  had  read  the  Bible  with  us,  and 
given   us   some  good  instruction  and  ad- 
vice, kneeled  doMTi  with  us  and  oflTere'id  a 
prayol^  which,    for  apparent  earnestness 
and  fervor,  I  have  seldom  known  equalle'd. 
These  seasons  were  always  pleasant  to  ua; 
and  sometimes  we  looked  forward  to  them 
with  impatience.     My  mother  seemed  to 
me  then  almost  an  angel ;  her  language, 
her  maimer,  the    very    expression  of  her 
countenance,  indicating  great  nearnass  to 
the  throne  of  grace.     I  could  not  have 
shoA^Ti  levity  at  times.     It  would  have 
been  impossible.     I  felt  then  that  it  was  a 
great  blessing  to  have  a  praying  mother ; 
and  I  have  .^It   it   nmch   more  sensibly 
since.     Thcpe  coinisels  and  prayers  ^time 
can  never  onace  from  my  memory.    They 
form  as  it  wore,  a  part  of  my  very    con- 
stitution.—  TTieodore  Thinker. 


Hop.',  thou  epark  of  heavenly  birth, 
Lighting  all  thafadroar  on  earth  I 
Thou  art  worth  a  diadem,

Dr.  Kitohner's   Rules  for  Marketing. 

The  best  rule  for  marketing  is  to  pay  ready 
money  for  every  thing,  and   to   deal  willt   the 
most  respectable  tradesmen  in   your    neighbour, 
bood.     Ifyou  leave  it  to    their   integrity   to 
supply  you  with  a   good  article,  at  the  fair 
market  price,  you  will  be  supplied  with  better 
provisions,  and  at  as  reasonable  a  rate  as  those 
bargain   hunters,  who  trot  "around,  around, 
around  about"  a  market  till  they  are  trapped 
to  buy  some  unckewable  old   poultry,  toogh 
tup-mutton  stringy  cow-beef,  or  stale  fiah,  at 
a  very   little  less  than  the  price  of  prime  and 
proper  f  )od.    With  savings  like  these   they 
toddle  home  in  triumph,  cackling  all  the  way, 
like  a  goose  that  has  got  ancle-deep  into  good 
luck.     All  the  skill  of  the  most  accomplished 
cook  will  avail  nothing  unless  she  is  furnished 
with  prime  provisions.    The  best  way  to  pro- 
cure these  is  to  deal  with  shops  of  established 
eharaotw  ;    you  may  appear  to  pay.  perhaps, 
ten  per  cent,  more  than  yon  would  were  you 
to  deal   with  those  who  pretend  to  sell  cheap, 
but  you   would  be  much  more  than  in  that 
proportion  better  served.    Every  trade  has  its 
tricks  and  deceptions ,  those  who  follow  them 
can  deceive  you  if  they  please,  and  they  are 
too  apt  to  do  so,  if  you  provoke  the  exercise 
of  their  over-reaching  talent.     Challenge  them 
to  a  game  at    "Catch  toho  can,"  by  entirely 
relying  on  your  own  judgement,  and  jou  will 
soon   tind   nothing   but  very  long  experience 
can  make   you  equal  to  the  combat  of  mark- 
eting to  the  utmost  advantage.      Ifyou  think 
a  tradesman  has  imposed  upon  you,  never  use 
a  second  word,  if  the  first  will  not  do  nor  drop 
the  least  bint  of  an  imposition;  the  only  meth- 
od to  induce  him  to  make  an  abatement  is  the 
hope  of  future  favours,  pay  the   demand,  and 
deal  with   the  gentleman   no  more ;    but  do 
not  let  bim  see  that  you  are  displeased,  or  as 
soon  as  you  are  out  of  sight  your   reputation 
will  suffer  as  much  as  your  pocket  has,     Be- 
lore  you  go  to  market  look  over   your  larder 
and   consider  well  what  things  are  wanting — 
especially  on  a  Saturday-night    No  well-regu- 
lated family  can  suffer  a  disorderly  caterer  to 
be  jumping  in  and  out  to  make  purchases  on  a 
Sunday   morning.    You  will  be  enabled  to 
manage  much   better  if  you  will  make  out  a 
bill  of  fare  for  the  week  on  the  Saturday  be- 
fore ;  for  example,  for  a  family  of  half  a  dos- 

en — 

it  is  an  excellent  plan  to  have  certain  things 
•a  certain  days.  When  your  butcher  and 
poulterer  knows  what  you  will  want,  he  has  a 
better  chance  of  doing  his  best  for  you  ; 
When  you  order  meat,  poultry,  or  fish,  tell 
the  tradseman  when  you  intend  to  drees  it :  he 
will  then  have  it  in  his  power  to  serve  you 
with  provisions  that  will  do  him  credit,  which 
the  finest  meat,  &c.,  in  the  world  will  never  do 
■nless  it  has  been  kept  a  proper  time  to  be 
ripe  and  tender. 


Origin  of  words. 

What  is  the  origin  of  the  word   "foolseap,' 
as  applied  to  paper  ?      Folio  Copo— firsUiw 
sheet ;    Italian.    (What  of  "  apple-pie  order," 
as  meaning  complete  ?  Cap-a-pie,  from  head  to 
foot :    French.    What  of  "beef.eaters,"  as  ap-  * 
plied  to  waiters  at  table?    ^u/Uzers— side 


The  constancy  of  snge^i  is  nothing  but 
the  art  of  locking  up  their  agitation  in 
their  hearts. 


fcoard  men  ;  French.)  What  oT "dandelion." 
a  well-known  green  for  salad  !  Dent  de  lum, 
tooth  of  lion— the  shape  of  the  article  ;  Erench. 
What  of  "country  dance,"  in  English?  The 
French  contre  danse,  from  the  poaition  of  the 
partners.  What  of  "scamp?"  One  who  "« 
cam^  exit ;"  or  "flies  from  the  field"  Wliut 
of  the  word  "luncheon  ?"  The  daily  meal  of 
the  Spaniard  at  eleven  o'clock,  called  "/'oi«," 
and  pronounced  I'onchey.  Many,  in  our  time, 
call  it  their  "eleven  o'clock."  (What  of  the 
word  "tandem,"  as  applied  to  a  team  of  horses? 
The  latin  word  tandem,  meaning  simply  at 
len%M  ;  a  practical  pun.)  What  of  "browa 
•tudy,"  as  meaning  deep  reflection?  Evidently 
brow  study,  from  tbe  German,  braun  meoning 
brow,  What  of  the  term  "Yankee  ?"  The 
manner  in  which  the  Indians  endeavoured  to 
pronounce  the  word  English, vhich  they  called, 
Yenghees.  What  of  "bumblebee?"  Very  ca- 
rious Double dore  (double  gilt);  from  his  bright 
yellow  spot,  the  bee  is  called  in  the  West  of 
England,  the  "  dumblfdoor."  Hence  the  cor. 
rnptiou  is  easy-  What  of  "  forced  meat,"  as 
applied  to  the  balls  put  in  soups,  or  the  stuff- 
ing of  poultry  ?  Tbc  Frcach  word  farce,  stafF- 
ed.  It  should  rather  be  "farced  meat."  What 
of  the  word  "  lark,"  as  meaing  a  frolic  ?  nie 
AnglosSaxon  word  "lark"  meaning  play.  So 
the  skylark  is  the  bird  that  frolics,  or  plays, 
or  rejoices,  or  "  larks,"  in  the  air  or  sky. —

An  exchange  sjiy.s  :  A  pastor  m  one  of 
our  cities  was  last  Sabbath  day,  discemrs- 
ing  to  the  children  and  the  youth  of  his 
congregation  on  the  condition  of  China, 
and  thi'  necessity  of  more  light  in  that 
land.  Upon  concluding  his  discourse  he 
said  :  "  Now  you  have  bone  nobly  in  rais- 
ing two  hundred  dijllars  for  one  mission, 
what  will  you  do  for  China?"  Their 
ready  answer  was,  "  We  will  raise  two

why  he  declined  visiting  those  who  were  al- 
ways ready  to  show  him  every  token  of  re- 
spect, he  replied  :  "  I  can  hardly  name  a  polite 
family  where  the  conversation  turns  upon  the 
things  of  God.  I  hear  much  frothy  and  world- 
ly chit-chat,  but  not  a  word  of  God  ;  and  I  am 
determined  not  to  visit  those  companies  where 
there  is  not  room  for  my  master  as  well  as  for 
myself,"

Adversity. 

"sweet  arc  the  uses  of  adversity." 
Adversity  is  the  nurse  of  virtue,  and  though 
stern  the  preceptress,  she  perfects  her  children 
in  all  the  graces  of  life.  The  impatient  fiery 
temper,  learns  in  her  school  to  moderate  iU 
impatienee ;  the  passionate  are  taught  to  re- 
strain their  passions  ;  the  unfeeling  here  learn 
by  their  own  sorrowa  to  feel  for  others;  tha 
feeling  become  more  sensitive;  the  unoharit- 
Bble  from  their  own  misfortunes  learn  charitj 
towards  their  fellow  creatures  ;  the  proud  art 
humbled,  they  are  taught  by  tha  delight  with 
which  they  receive  the  sympathy  of  others, 
how  grateful  tothe  unfortunate  and  unhappy 
that  sympathy  is  ;  the  poor  learn  gratitude 
fram  the  beneficence  of  there  superiors  in  sta- 
tion and  fortune;  thus  there  is  no  rank  thst 
may  not  be  taught  in  the  school  of  adversity, 
no  heart  that  may  not  be  improved  by  her  cor- 

reotiouB.

The  embalmera  were  probably  mem- 
bers of  the  medical  profession,  as  well  as 
of  the  class  of  priests.  Joseph  is  said  to 
have  "conunanded  the  physicians  to  em- 
bahn  his  father,"  and  Pliny  states  that 
during  this  process  certain  examinations 
took  place,  which  enabled  them  to  sturdy 
the  disease  of  which  the  deceased  had  di- 
ed. They  i^pear  to  have  been  made  in 
compliance  with  an  order  from  the  gov- 
ernment, as  he  says  the  kings  of  Egypt 
had  the  bodies  opened  after  death  to  as- 
oertain  the  nature  of  their  diseases,  by 
which  means  alone  the  remedy  for  phthis- 
ical oomplidilti  was  discovered. 

With  r^aid  to  the  question  wKm  the 
custom  of  embahning  ceased,  in  £- 
gypt,  it  may  be  observed  that  some  are 
of  opinion  that  it  ceased  at  an  early  time, 
vIrd  B^pt  became  a  Roman  province. 
But  this  has  been  fully  disproved  by 
modem  discoveries ;  and  it  not  onlv  ap- 
pears that  the  early  Christiuis  embalmed 
their  dead,  but  according  to  "St.  Augu- 
sUne,  mnmmies  were  inade  in  his  time,

annual  appearence  on  the  subsidence  of  at  that  period ;    and  it  is  more  probable 

ful  effort  of  St.  Anthony  and  his  coofrerss  that    it  gradually    fell  into  disuse,  then 

against  embalming.      It  is  probable  the  that  it  was  suddenly  abandoned  from  any 

custom  originated    in  Egypt,    and    was  aocidentftl   cause  connected  with  change 

founded  on  their  religious  belief  that  the  the  Mlc;    and  that  ita   first  introduction 

oontinuanoe  of  the  soul  in  the  region  of  joaj  be  historically    traced  to  a  period 

The  custom'may  not  have  been  universal  somewhere  about  the  time  of  the  success- 


happiness  was  dependant  on  the  preser- 
vation of  the  body.  Some  have  thought 
that  a  physical  notion  may  have  also  had 
its  i»fluence.  Egypt  is  annually,  for 
three  months,  under  water,  and  is  at  the 
same  time  exposed  to  a  burning  sun. 
It  is  therefore  important  that  all  decom- 
position of  animal  matter  should,  as 
much  as  possible,  be  prevented.  Hence 
inferior  animals  were  embalmied. 

The  body  having  been  conveyed  t<f  the 
embalraor's,  the  afflicted  family  during 
seventy  (or  seventy-two)  days  continued 
their  lamentations  at  home,  singing  the 
funeral  dirge,  and  fulfilling  all  the  duties 
required  both  by  custom  and  their  own 
4Ming8  on  tile  motimfhl  occasion. 

During  this  period  they  abstained  from 
all  amusements ;  the  indulgence  in  every 
kind  of  luxury,  as  tho  "bate,  wine,  delica- 
cies of  the  table,  or  rich  clothing;"  "they 
suffered  their  beard  and  hair  grow;"  and 
endeavored  to  prove,  by  tWs  r  marked 
neglect  of  their  personal  comfort  and  ap- 
pearence, how  entirely  their  thoughts 
were  absorbed  by  the  melancholy  event 
that  had  befiillen  them.  But  they  did 
not  cut  themselves  in  token  of  grief;  and 
the  command  given  to  the  Israelites,  "Ye 
shall  not  out  yourselves,  nor  make  any 
baldness  between  your  eyes  for  the  dead ; 
does  not  refer  to  a  custom  of  the  Egvpt- 
ians,  but  of  those  people  among  wnom 
they  were  about  to  establish  themselves 
in  Syria,  as  is  distinctly  stated  of  the  vot- 
aries of  Baal.  The  body,  when  embalm- 
ed, was  restored  to  the  fiiroily,  and  hav- 
ing been  deposited  in  its  case,  which  was 
generally  inclosed  in  two  or  three  others, 
all  richlv  paint^,  "it  was  planed  in  a 
room  of  the  ^ouse,  upright  against  the 
wall,"  until  the  tomb  was  ready,  and  all 
the  necessary  preparations  nad  been 
made  for  the  fhnerai. 
It  was  not  unusual  to  keep  the  mummies 
in  the  house,  after  they  had  been  return- 
ed by  the  embalmers  to  the  relations  of 
the  deceased,  in  order  to  gratify  the  feel- 
ings which  made  them  desirous  of  having 
those  they  had  loved  in  life  as  near  them 
as  possible  afler  death,  or  to  j^ve  time 
to  the  family  to  prepare  a  tomb  for  their 
reception.  Many  m'on^is  often  dapsed 
between  the  ceremony  of  embahning  and 
the  actual  burial;  and  it  was  during  this 
period  that  the  liturgies  were  performed 
before  the  mummy,  wUoh  wsve  after 
wards  continued  at  the  tomb.  One  in 
scription  upon  the  coffin  of  a  woinen 
shows  that  the  burial  took  place  a  whoh 
year  after  her  deaih^^  some  were  doubt- 
less kept,  for  various  reasons,  much  long- 
er. It  was  durteg  this  biterval  that  feasts 
were  held  in  honour  of  the  dead,  to  which 
tho  fHends  and  relatives  were  invited,  as 
was  customary  among  th^^lhtjeks  and 
other  people  of  antiquity.

usual  mpde  when  brought  to  an  Egypt- 
ian table.  Similar  offerings  for  the 
"de*^"  were  strictly  forbidden  by  the 
law  ^f  Moses ;  and  it  was  doubtlcsss  the 
Egyptian  custom  that  the  Hebrew  legis- 
liitor  had  iu  view  when  he  indjoduced 
this  wise  ^>hibition. 

Whilivhi  the  house,  many  religious  co- 
"■^monies  were  performed,  before  the 
"lummy,  prayer  were  read.  During 
that  time,  when  the  mummies  remained 
'n  the  house,  or  in  the  chamber  of  the  se- 
pulchre, they  were  kept  in  movable  clos 
eta,  with  folding  doors,  out  of  which  they 
were  token  by  the  minor  functionaries  to 
a  smajl  altar,  b^ore  which  the  priest  of- 
ficiuted..  The  closet  and  the  mummy 
were  placed  on  a  sledge,  in  order  to  fac- 
iliftte  their  movement  from  one  place  to 
another;  and  the  latter  was  drawn  with 
ropes  to  the  altar,  and  taken  back  by  the 
same  means  when  the  teremony  was 
over.  On  these  occasions,  as  in  the  pray- 
ers for  the  dead,  they  made  the  usual  of 
ferings  of  incense  and  libatiou,  with  cakes, 
flowers,  and  fruit,  and  even  anointed  the 
mummy,  oil  or  ointment  being  poured 
over  its  head.  Sometimes  several  priests 
attended.  One  carried  a  napkin  over  hie 
shoulder,  to  be  used  after  the  anointing 
off  the  mummy ;  another  brought  a  pa- 
pyrus  roll  containing  a  prayer,  or  the 
usual  ritual  deposited  in  tne  tombs  with 
the  dead ;  and  others  had  different  occu- 
pations, aocording  to  their  respective  of-

Iftods  for  Uie  pewon,  and  garlands  to  be  sns- 
pended  over  their  roads ;  and  relinquisbed  all 
taxes  and  rates  for  these,  as  well  as  for  houses 
and  synagogues. 

The  Malabar  Jews  resided  at  Oaoaoganore 
until  the  arrival  of  the  Portuguese  in  that 
quarter ;  but,  as  that  nation  iDflioted  great 
oppression  upon  them,  they  lemoved  to  Co- 
chin in  the  year  1565  of  the  Christian  era, 
aad  were  hospitably  received  by  the  raj^  of 
that  place.  He  granted  them  permission  to 
build  their  synagogue  and  booses  next  to  his 
palace,  lii  order  to  protect  them  better ;  but 
hither  they  were  followed  by  the  Portuguese, 
who  again  treated  them  with  the  utmost  cru- 
elty and  injustice.  The  arrival  of  the  Dutch, 
who  took  possession  of  Cochin  in  16©3,  re- 
lieved them  from  their  sufferings,  and  since 
that  time  they  have  lived  in  peace.  In  the 
year  1686,  they  were  visited  by  four  Hebrew 
merchants  from  Amsterdam,  named  Moses 
Fereira  de  Paiwa,  Isaac  Argas,  Isaac  Mookat 
and  Abraham  Bat,  who  rejoiced  to  find  them 
eDJ0)ipga8tate  of  prosperity,  and  agreed  to 
live  with  them.  They  wrote  an  account  of 
their  reception  to  their  brethem  at  Amster- 
dam, who  sent  out  to  tbem  a  supply  of  books 
'of  the  Law  and  the  Prophets,  which  were 
much  wanted.  Since  that  time,  an  intimate 
correspondence  has  been  maintained  betw^ 
the  Jews  of  Cochin  and  those  of  Holland. 
At  Amsterdam  a  liturgy  has  been  printed, 
expressly  for  the  Israelites  of  Malabar. 

The  White  Jews  never  intermarried  with 
their  black  brethem,  and  look  upon  tbem  as 
an  inferior  race.  The  latter  have  none  of 
the  Cohen  or  Levi  family,  (Priaste  and  Levi- 
tes)  among  them,  but  their  rites  and  ceremon- 
ies in  a  great  measure  resemble  those  of  the 
WhitheJewB.  The  two  bodies  of  Israelites 
inhabit  the  towns  of  Cochin,  Anjecanimal, 
Paroor,  Obanotto,  and  Mala.  Their  number 
has  been  greatly  reduced  by  various  caoB»>, 
and  Is  stated  to  amount  only  to  1039. 
A  short  time  ago,  several  of  the  White  Jews 
at  Cochin  addressed  a  statement  of  their  con- 
dition to  a  gentleman  named  Baber,  of  the 
Bombay  Civil  Service  ;  in  which  they  defend 
theouielves  from  various  charges  made  againat 
them  by  Bxrecent  traveller,  and,  among  other 
thingR,give  the  following  account  of  their  oc- 
cupations :— "Aa  for  the  industry  of  the  Jews, 
they  earn  a  livelihood  m  handicraftsmen,  be- 
ing in  general  sawyers,  fishermen,  black- 
smiths, bricklayers,  toilers,  bookbinders,  and 
other  artificers ;  of  which  number  many,  for 
want  of  employment  at  or  about  Cochin,  trav- 
el «p  the  Malabar  coast  to  Bombay,  to. get  a 
subsistence;  three-fourths  of  the  Black  Jews 
are  venders  of  the  household  necessariea." 

When  Dr.  Buchanan,  the  autor  of  "ChriBti- 
an  Eesearches,"  visited  the  interesting  people 
in  1806,  he  made  investigations  into  the  cha- 
racter of  the  Hebrew  manusripte  which  they 
possessed.  He  discovered,  among  other  re- 
markable  writings,  a  curious  version  of  the 
New  Testament,  which  bet  we  think  proper  to 
mention,  last  our  eilence  be  construed  as  a  in- 
dication of  a  weakness  of  our  caase.  We 
therefore  shall  give  the  account  in  hia  own 
words :— "I  had  heard  that  there  were  oae  or 
two  translations  of  the  Testoment  in  their 
possession,  bat  they  were  studiously  kept  out 
of  my  sight  for  a  oonsiderablc  time.  At  last, 
bowewer,  they  were  produced  by  individaals 
in  a  private  manner.  One  of  them  is  written 
in  the  small  rabbinical  or  Jerosalem  charaoter, 
the  other  in  a  large  square  letter.  The  history 
of  the  fbrmer  is  very  interesting.  The  trapa- 
a(^,  a  learned  rabbi,  eonceived  the  das  ign  of 


an  Moarat6T««i«^V% 
ftrtbe  ezpvMiiMtpMa  of 
It  HI*  tkyla  is  e^>kMa  vtA  al^gani, 
of*  mastar  in  ths  laognage,  and  the  traatfat- 
ion  is  in  gSMral  MthAil.  It  does  net  indeed 
appear  that  he  wished  to  pervert  the  meaning 
of  a  single  sentenoe,  but,  d^ndkig  on  his 
pwB  abilitiee  and  renown  as  a  sdiolar,  he  hoped 
to  be  able  to  controvert  its  dootrinea,  and  to 
triumph  over  it  by  fair  contest  in  the  presence 
of  the  world'.  The  translation  is  complete 
and  written  with  greater  freedom  and  ease  to-' 
wards  the  end  then  at  the  beginoing.  How 
astonishing  it  is  that  an  enemy  should  have 
done  this !  That  he  should  have  persevered 
re^ohitely  to  the  end  of  his  work  ;  not  always 
indeed  calmly,  for  there  is  sometimes  a  note 
of  execration  on  the  Sacred  Person,  who  is 
the  subject  of  it,  as  if  to  nnburdsfi  his  mind, 
and  ease  the  conflict  of  his  labouring  M>al.  At 
the  close  of  the  gospels,  as  if  afraid  of  the 
converting  power  of  hisown  vettion,  be  calls 
heaven  to  witness  that  'be  had  nodcrtakeu  the 
work  with  the  professed  deeign  of  opposing 
Epicoreant,'  by  which  term  he  contemptuously 
designates  the  Cbristiaas."  Dr.  Bacbaaaa 
stotes,  that  in  almost  every  bouse  he  found 
Hebrew  books,  printed  or  manuscript,  parti- 
cularly among  the  White  Jews.

Shit  Canal  acboss  thb  Isthmus.  —  Ac- 
cording to  an  official  communication  from 
Commodore  Paulding,  a  ship-canal  across  the 
Isthmus  is  feasible.  The  Isthmus  itself  seems 
to  present  no  serious  obstacle  to  science  for 
the  construction  of  a  eanal.  The  whole  ex- 
tent, from  the  Athintic  to  the  Pacific,  is  made 
up  of  swamps,  hills  and  plains  ;  and  the  high- 
est point  of  land  where  the  railroad  passes,  is 
no  more  than  286  f<3et  above  the  level  of  the 
sea.  The  hills  through  which  the  canal 
would  pass,  would  be  required  for  embank- 
ments ov«r  the  plains  and  swamps ;  and  there 
appears  to  be  no  insuperable  obstacle  to  pier- 
cing the  highest  part,  so  as  conveniently  to 
make  the  waters  of  the  Chagres,  Obispo  and 
Bio  Grande  available  for  the  wants  of  the 
canal.  The  want  of  men  to  labor  would  seem 
to  be  the  great  obstacle  to  the  saccessful  ac- 
complishment of  a  work  of  so  much  magnitude. 
In  a  work  like  that  of  a  eanal  through  the 
Isthmus  of  Darien,  it  ig  to  be  supposed  that 
the  requirements  of  commerce  and  navigation 
in  its  most  extended  application,  would  alone 
be  considered  ;  and,  toking  this  for  a  stand- 
ard, a  canal  200  feet  wide  and  30  feet  deep 
would  seem  to  be  the  appropriate  dimensions. 
With  such  an  avenue  from  the  Atlantic, 
the  stormy  and  distant  seas  of  the  Sooth 
would  be  abandoned  by  Europe  as  well  as 
America,  and  we  should  meet  here  on  neutral 
ground,  pursuing  with  a  common  purpose  the 
paths  of  peace  and  industry,  which,  by  its 
means,  we  may  suppose,  wou?d  effbct  a  moral 
revolution,  such  as  the  world  has  never 
known,  and  surpassing  in  importance  that 
which  would  be  effected  in  the  revolution  of 
the  commercial  world. 


Vox  Popull. 

The  highest  ooder  of  mind  ts  accused  offdly,

approved  but  mediocrity.  The  majority  Yob

tbe  low  extreme,  It  is  not  because  it  is  lo^, 
but  because  it  is  extreme  ;  for  I  should  in  the 
same  way  refuse  to  be  placed  at  the  highest. 
To  get  reaBy  beyond  mediocrity,  is  to  pass 
tie  limits  of  humaa  nature.  The  dignity  of 
thie  human  soul,  lies  in  knoming  bow  to  keep

▲ndont  Htpies  of  the  Months. 
DECEMBElij  which   in    the    Anglo- 
Saxon  agea  stood  first,    was  called    Mid- 
wmter-monath^  the  niid-wint^^r  m^jptfi^ 

JANUARY  waa  denominated  Aeft^r 
Yula,  that  is,  after  the  feast  called  Yula, 
a  pagan,  riotous,  lawless  festival,  obser- 
ved at  the  same  time  of  the  year  as  our 
Christmas,  and  hence  the  origin  of  the 
Yule-log,  or  Christmas  block,  still  selec- 
ted in  some  parts  of  the  country  for  the 
Christmas  evening  fire. 

FEBRUARY  they  called  Sol-monath, 
the  sun  month,  from  the  return  of  the 
sun  at  that  season. 

MARCH  they  called  Rhede,  or  Rhedo- 
monath,  the  rough  or  rugged  month. 

APRIL  was  called  Easter- monath, 
from  a  favourite  Saxon  goddess,  whose 
festival  was  kept  at  that  time, 

MAY  was  called  Trimilchi,  from  the 
cows  being  then  milked  three  times  in 
the  day. 

JUNE  was  called  Sere-monath,  the 
dry  month. 

JULY  was  called  Moed-monath,  the 
Tncad  month,  from  thd  m«adow8  heiag 
then  in  their  bloom  and  beauty,  or  the 
people  being  then  employed  in  hay -mak- 
ing. 

AUGUST  was  called  Weod-monath, 
tbe  weed  month,  from  the  abundance  of 
weeds  at  that  time. 

SEPTEMBER  was  called  Hoerfest- 
monath,  or  the  harvest  month. 

OCTOBER  bore  the  name  of  Winter-

Gab. — Who  can   tell  th«  derivation  of 
the  word    Ch$\   If  no  oiie  <»n   say,  a« 
may    very    readily    be   the  oaae.  since 
Todd's  Johnson  merely  calls  it  a  '*word 
invMited    by  tjie  chemists,"    then  be    it 
hnown  that  the  term  gas  sprang  from  the 
same  source  as    gkaist  or  phott,    being 
both  from  a  Teutonic   word   signifying 
spirit  or  supernatural  being,  and  varrotts- 
ly  spelt  fftut,  ffhais,  or  otherwise,  accord- 
ing to    the    different   Tentoxtic   dialects. 
Now,    some    of  the   mineral    springs  of 
Grermany  exhale  a  vapour,  which  hangs 
above  them  in   the  semblance   of  a  light 
thin  cloud.      This,  being-  seen,   was  occa- 
siolttlly  taken  for  a  ghais   or  ghost,  but 
those  who  had  a  little  more   wit  at  their 
finger-ends,  knew  the  thing   to  be  neither 
moire  nor  less  than  a  vapour.     From  this 
deceptive  appearance,  howewer,  arose  the 
custom  of  applying   the  term  ff^ais  to  all 
vapours  or    eriform   bodies,    and  being 
adopted  by   the  continental  chemists,  the 
word  soon  became  universal  in  this  sense.

Stbrlino. —  Can  any  one  tell  what 
Sterling  comes  from  ?  We  are  all  anx- 
ious to  have  pounds  sterling  to  get  ne- 
ocessaries,  why^  not  ask  what  it  means  ? 
Many  persons  conceive  that  sterling 
meant  originally  genuine,  and  that  is  was 
only  applied,  iu  the  course  of  time,  to 
designate  good  money.  The  reverse  of 
this  is  the  case  :  sterling,  in  the  general 
sense  of  genuine,  was  taken  from  the 
connection  of  the  word  with  money. 
Carabden  gives  the  following  accoimt  of 
the  origin  of  the  word  : — About  the  time 
of  Richard  1.,  money  coined  in  the  east- 
ern parts  of  Geamany  came  into  special 
request    in  England,    on  account    of  tts

NOVEMBER,  their  last  month,  they 
called  Bloth-moib^  blood  month,  from 
the  blood  of  the  cattle  which  were  then 
slain  and  stored  for  winter  provision. 

An  Account,  in  Pounds  and  Ounces,  of  the 
surprising  Qu»intitia  of  Food  devoured  bj  a 
Boy;  12  F«ir«  old,  in  six  succtuive  Days,  at 
Black  Bamsley,  in  Yorkshin.  Communicated 
by  Dr.  A/ortimsr,  Sec.   R.  *. 

The  boy  was  ragnlar  as  other  children,  till 
aboat  a  jear  before  tbe  above  date,  when  tbia 
extraordinary  eieving  of  appetite  first  began, 
which  afflicted  him  to  saoh  a  degree,  that  if  he 
was  not  ibd  as  he  called  oat  for  it,  he  wonld 
goaw  the  vel^  flesh  off  his  bones ;  so  that,  when 
aweke,  be  was  constantly  devouring  ;  it  eoald 
hardly  be  called  eating,  because  nothing  pass- 
ed bis  stomach  ;  all  was  thrown  up  again.

as  all  the  inhabitants  of  that  region  of 
Germany  were  called  Easterlings.  Ul- 
timately some  of  these  people,  skilled  in 
coining,  were  sent  for  to  London,  to 
bring  the  English  coin  to  perfection;  and 
to  the  new  issues  under  their  direction, 
the  name  of  Easterling,  contracted  afler- 
wards  to  Sterling,  continued  to  be  ap- 
plied. The  word  became  fixed  in  the 
language. 

Sarcasm. — The  word  Sa/rcasm  has  a 
fearfiil  derivation.  It  comes  from  the 
Greek  sarkadso,  to  pick  theJUsk  off,  and 
in  truth,  sarcasm  may  be  justly  said  to 
pick  the  flesh,  not  off  the  body,  but  the 
mind — if  such  an  expression  is  allowable.

LoNOKViTT  OF  TRSBB. — At  Elderslie, 
the  birth-place  of  Wallace,  near  Peasley, 
there  is  an  oak-tree  which  is  said  to  have 
concealed  imder  its  branches  Wallace  and 
300  of  his  follower*.  Howewer  doubt- 
ful this  may  be,  it  is  oertain  that  the 
"Wallace  oak"  cannot  be  much  less  than 
700  years  old.       Eight  olive   trees  still 

5 row  in  the  garden  of  Gethsemane,  near 
erusalem,  wnich  can  be  proved  to  have 
been  more  than  800  years  ago,  and  which 
are  alleged  to  have  been  witnesses  to  Je- 
sus being  betrayed  by  Judas.  Such  great 
antiduity,  howewer,  is  small  when  com- 
pared with  the  age  of  the  baobab,  some 
specimens  of  which,  growing  in  Africa, 
Adanson  found  to  be  5,150  years  old ! 
Even  this  great  age  is  surpassed  by  that 
assigned  to  the  taxodium  by  Decandolle, 
who  mafc^  some  specimens  whidh  he 
discovered  in  South  America  to  be  6,000 

Crs  old.      Adanson   ascertained   somo 
ian  trees  to  be  of  equal  antiquity.

The  following  story  is  not  a  fiction, 
but  tlie  relation  of  an  *  undoubted  and 
well-attested  fact;  thecircumstances hap- 
pened as  here  related.  An  account  of 
it  was  pnblisbed  at  the  time,  but  the  cop- 
ies were  bought  up  by  the  family.  Two 
or  three,  howewer,  were  preserved,  and 
the  narrative  hn  been  reprinted : 

Some  ninety  years  ago,  there  flourish- 
ed in    Glasgow    a  club  of  young   men, 
which,  from  the  extreme  profligacy  of  its 
members,  and  the  licentiousness  of  their 
orgies,  was  commonly  called  the  "Hell 
Club!     Besides  their  nightly  or  weekly 
meetings,   they  held  one  grand  amyial 
saturnalia,  in  which  each  tried  to  excel 
the  other  in  drunkeness   and  blasphemy  ; 
and  on  these  occasions  there  was  no  star 
among  them  whose  lurid  light  was  more 
conspicuous  then  that  of  young  Mr.  Ar- 
chibald B.,   who,  endowed   with  brilliant 
talents  and  a  hatidsome  person,  had  held 
out  great  promise  in   his  boyhood,   and 
raised  hopes,  which  had  been  completely 
frustrated  by  his  subsequent  reckless  dis- 
sipations. 

One  morning  afler  returning  from  this 
annual  festival,  Mr.  Archibald  B.  having 
retired  to  bed,  dreamed  the  following 
dream  >— 

He  fancIedThat  he  himself  was  mount- 
ed on  a  favorite  black  horse,  that  he  al- 
ways rode,  and  that  he  was  proceeding 
towards  his  own  house — then  a  country- 
seat  embowered  by  trees,  and  situated 
upon  a  hill,  now  entirely  built  over,  and 
forming  part  of  the  city —  when  a  strang- 
er, whom  the  darkness  of  night  prevents 
ed  his  distinctly  discerning,  suddenly 
seized  his  horse's  rein,  saying,  "You  must 
go  with  me !" 

"And  who  are  you?"  exclaimed  the 
joung  man,  with  a  volley  of  oaths,  while 
he  struggled  to  free  himself. 

"That  you  will  see  by-and-by !"  return, 
ed  the  other,  in  a  tone  that  excited  unac- 
countable terror  in  the  yonth,  who, 
plunging  his  spurs  into  his  horse,  attempt- 
ed to  fly.  But  in  vain :  howewer  fast  the 
animal  flew,  the  stranger  was  still  beside 
him,  till  at  length,  in  his  desperate  efforts 
to  escape,  the  rider  was  thrown ;  but  in- 
stead of  being  dashed  to  the  earth,  as  he 
expected,  he  found  himself  felling— falling 
—falling  still,  as  if  sinking  into  the  bow- 
els ef  the  earth. 

At  length,  a  period  being  put  to  his 
mysterious  descent,  he  found  breath  to 
inquire  of  his  companion,  who  was  still 
beside  him,  whither  they  were  going : 
"Where  am  I?  where  are  you  taking 
nier  he  exclaimed. 

"To  hell!"  replied  the  stranger,  and 
immediately  interminable  echoes  repeats 
ed  the  fearful  sound,  "To  hell !"— to  hell 
—to  hell  !" 

At  length  a  light  appeared,  which  soon 
increased  to  a  blaze  j  but,  instead  of  the 
cnes,  and  groans,  and  lameutings,  which 
the  terrified  traveller  expected,  nothing 
met  his  ear  but  sounds  of  music,  mirth 
and  jolUty ;  and  he  found  himself  at  the 
entrance  of  a  superfc  building,  for  exceed- 
mg  any  he  had  seen  constructed  by  hum- 
an hands.  Within,  too,  what  a  scene  ! 
No  amusement,  employment,  or  pursuit 
of  men  on  earth,  but  waa-  here  being  ear- 
ned on  with  a  vehemence  that  excited  his 
unutterable    amazement.       "There    the 


house ;  while,    a  few  yards    of,    lay  the 
corpse  of  his  master  !  — 


young  and  lovely  still  sworn  through  the 
mases  of  the  giddy  dance !"  There  the 
paniiiig  steed  still  bore  his  brutal  rider 
through  the  excitements  of  the  goaded 
race !  There,  over  the  midnight  bowl, 
the  intemperate  still  drawled  out  the 
wanton  song  or  maudlin  blasphemy !  The 
gambler  plied  for  ever  his  endless  game, 
and  the  slaves  of  Manamonlmled  tbrougb 
eternity  their  bitter  task ;  while  all  the 
magnifioenoe  of  earth  paled  before  that 
which  now  met  his  view !" 

He  soon  perceived   that  he  was  vmong 
old  acquaintances,  whom   he  knew  to  be 
dead,  and   each  he  observed  was  pursu- 
ing the  object,  whatever  it  was,   that  had 
formerly  engrossed  him ;    when,  finding 
himself  relieved    ot  the    presence  of  his 
unwelcome  conductor,  he  ventured  to  ad- 
dress his  former   friend  Mrs.  D.,   whom 
he  saw  sitting,  as  had  been  her  wont  on 
earth,  absorbed  at  loo,  requesting  her  to 
rest  fi"om  the  game,  and  introduce  him  to 
the  pleasures  of  the  place,  which  appear- 
ed to  him  to  be  very  unlike  what  he  had 
expected,    and,    indeed,     an    extremely 
agreeable  one.     But,  with  a  cry  of  agony, 
sheanswered  that  there  waa  no  rest  in  hell, 
that  they  must  ever  toil  on  at  those  very 
pleasures :  and  innumerable  voices  echo- 
ed   through     the    interminable     vaults, 
"TTiere  is  no  rest  in  hell  !"-^while.  throw- 
ing open  their  vests,  each  disclosed  in  his 
bosom  an  ever-burning  flame!      These, 
they    said,    were  the    pleasures  of  hell : 
their  choice   on  earth    was  now  their  in- 
evitable doom  !     In  the  midst  of  the  hor- 
ror this  scene  inspired,   his  conductor  re- 
turned, and  at  his  earnest   entreaty,  re- 
stored him    again  on    earth;  but,   as  he 
quitted  him,  he  said,  "Remember ! — in  a 
year  and  a  day  wc  meet  again!" 

At  this  crisis  of  his  dream,  the  sleeper 
awoke,  feverish  and  ill ;  and,  whether 
from  the  eflfect  of  his  dream,  or  of  his  pre- 
ceding orgies,  he  was  so  unwell  as  to  be 
obliged  to  keep  his  bed  for  several  days> 
during  which  period  he  had  time  for 
many  serious  reflections,  which  terminate 
ed  in  a  resolution  to  abandon  the  club 
and  his  licentious  companions  altogether. 
He  was  no  sooner  well,  howewer,  than 
they  flocked  around  him,  bent  on  re- 
covering so  valuable  a  member  of  their 
society;  and  having  wrung  firom  him  a 
confession  of  the  cause  of  his  defection, 
which,  as  may  be  supposed,  appeared  to 
them  eminently  ridiculous,  they  soon 
contrived  to  make  him  ashiltned  of  his 
good  resolutions.  He  joined  them  again, 
resumed  his  former  course  of  life,  and 
when  tile  annual  saturnalia  came  round, 
he  found  himself  with  his  glass  in  his 
hand  at  the  table — when  the  president, 
rising  to  make  the  accustomed  spech,  be- 
gan with  saying,  "Gentlemen,  this  being 
leap-year,  it  is  a  year  and  a  day  since  our 
last  anniversary,"  (kc.,  &;c.  The  words 
struck  upon  the  young  man's  ear  like  a 
knell ;  but,  ashamed  to  expose  his  weak- 
ness to  the  jeers  of  his  companions,  he 
sat  out  the  feast,  plying  himself  with 
wine  even  more  liberally  than  usual,  in 
order  to  drown  his  intrusive  thoughts ; 
till,  in  the  gloom  of  a  winter's  morning, 
he  mounted  his  hdrse  to  ride  home. 
Some  hours  aflerward,  the  horse  was 
found,  with  his  saddle  and  bridle  on,quiet- 
ly  grazing  by  the  roadside,  about  half 
way  between  the  city  and  Mr.  B — 's

The  rainy  season  having  oommeuoed, 
it  may  be  well  again  to  warn  our  reader^ 
against  the  causes  of  this  painful  and  ex- 
cruciating- disease.  We  have  given  a

places;  by  remaining  too  long  on  th^ 
damp  ground ;  by  sleeping  in  a  current 
of  air  at  night,  immediately  under  an 
open  window ;  by  exposure  to  the  night

by  the    improper  use  of  mercury.

the  proper  remedy  to  carry  it  off,  whidi

Jbwibu  PoruLATiow  OF  PsAmm 
Le  Lieu  it  appears,  that  the  Jewish  populatioa 
of  Franse  has  doubled  since  1808,  and  most 
DOW  amonnt  to  100,000  souls.  la  Paris  it 
aoionnted  at  that  time  to  2,755,  and  now  to 
18,000  souls.  With  this  increase  relinfious 
hatred  haa  proportioDallj  decreased.  The  re- 
moval of  Jews  from  any  place  is  considered  as 
a  serious  loss  to  the  same.  In  public  life 
Jews  and  Christians  are  quite  identified. — 
(Probably  this  does  not  refer  to  Alsace,  where 
prejudices  still  exist.) 


Pbboola  (Italy). — 'ITie  Vicar  of  Pergola 
has  revived  the  bull  of  Clement  vii.,  which 
prohibits  intercoutse  between  Jews  and 
Christians.  In  future  Jewr  and  Christians  o^ 
Pergola  will,  under  heavy  penaltiea,  not  be 
permitted  to  eat  together,  to  amuse  themselves 
together,  or  to  live  together. — Lien  6'J»ra*L

To  Prevent  Sea-  Sickness. —  Pass  a 
broad  belt  round  the  body,  and  place 
within  it,  on  the  region  of  the  stomach, 
a  pad  stuffed  with  wool  or  horse-hair  ;  this 
when  tightly  braced,  restrains  the  invo- 
luntary motion  of  the  stomach,  occasion- 
ed by  the  lurching  of  the  vessel.  During 
sickness,  very  weak  cold  brandy  and  wa- 
ter will  be  found  the  best  means  of  allay- 
ing the  heat  and  irritation. 

The  frequent  use  of  any  sea-sickness 
preventive  is,  however,  attended  with 
danger  :  therefore  avoid  it  on  long  jour- 
neys.

ed  by  a  low  and  vitious  fellow,  quietly 
said  to  him,  "A  contest  between  us  is  very 
uneqnal,  for  thou  eanst  bear  ill  languaga 
with  ease,  and  return  itwith  pleasure  ;and

The  Silkworm's  WllL 

On  •  plain  ruih  hurdle  » lilkwonn  lay, 
When  a  proud  young  princf  m  came  that  way ; 
n«  oaoxbth  chllb  of  a  human  kln« 
Tkraw  a  tldelong  glance  at  the  humble  thing' 
fhat  neelred  with  lileot  gratitude 
rram  th«  mulberry  laaf  her  simple  food. 
And  ahniok,  hair  (com  and  half  disguit. 
Away  from  bar  aiat^r  child  of  tke  duat ; 
Duclariog  aha  never  yet  could  aee 
Why  a  reptile  form  like  thla  Hbould  bee ; 
And  that  abewaa  not  made  with  nerre*  so  firm, 
As  eslmly  to  stand  by  a  "crawling  worm  I" 

With  mule  Ibrpearance  the  allkworm  took 
The  Unntlng  words  and  the  spamlng  look. 

Alike  a  stranger  to  solt  and  pndo, 

She'd  no  disquiet  from  aught  bcaide  ; 

And  UTod  of  a  meekness  aad  peace  poeaeseed, 

Which  theee  debar  fVom  the  human  breut. 

She  only  wished  for  the  harsh  abuse. 

To  8nd  some  way  to  become  of  use 

To  the  haughty  daughter  of  lordly  man ; 

And  Uius  did  she  lay  a  nobi*  plan 

To  tsMh  her  wladom,  and  make  It  pikin 

That  the  humble  worm  was  not  made  in  vain ; 

A  plan  so  generous,  deep  and  high, 

That,  to  carry  out,  she  must  even  die  I 

"No  more,"  Ibe  said,  "will  i  drink  or  eat  I 
I'll  spin  and  weave  roe  a  windlng-xheet, 
Towrappme  upfhJm  the  sun's  clear  light, 
ind  hide  my  form  from  her  wounded  sight 
In  secret  then,  till  my  end  draws  nigh, 
I'll  toil  for  her ;  and,  when  i  die, 
I'll  leave  behind,  as  a  (krewell  boon 
To  the  proud  young  peinceea,  my  whole  oocood. 
To  be  re«lad  and  wove  to  a  shining  lace. 
And  hung  In  a  veil  o'er  her  scornftil  fkce  1 
And  when  she  can  calm'y  draw  her  breath 
Through  the  very  threads  that  have  caused  my  death. 
When  sk*  finds,  at  length,  she  haa  nerves  so  Arm, 
As  to  wear  the  shroud  of  a  crawling  worm, 
May  she  bear  in  mind,  that  she  walks  with  pride 
In  th»wlnding-aheet  where  the  silkworm  died  I"

Childiah  Fears  and  Vanolas. 


0«rUin  folks  that  I  have  met  with  in  my  day 
teem  t«  lore  DOtbiog  better  than  to  fill  chil- 
dreo's  beads  with  all  SMBuer  of  frigfitfal  stories. 
When  I  w«B  a  mere  child,  there  was  a  servapt 
girl  in  the  employ  of  my  mother,  weo  belonged 
to  that  class  and  order  of  eamanity.     Ob,  what 

I  suppose  she  did  it  to  amuse  me  and  keep  me 
out  of  mischief.  She  was  an  ignoraot  girl, 
and  knew  no  better.  But  the  eflfect  o  those 
stories  upon  my  imagination  was  any  thing 
bat  happy.  I  have  lain  |awake  many  a  time 
for  hours  together,  thinking  over  some  ♦•!-' 
about  Blae-Beerd,  or  sundry  bears  and  wolvo. 
or  a  giant  as  large  as  au  elephant,  or  it  may 
be  a  raiment  of  not  very  well  disposed  fairies 
and  Aobgoblins.  I  remember  one  story  in  par 
ticular,  which  cost  me  a  world  of  terror.  The 
prominent  scene  in  the  story,  and  the  one 
which  moat  frightened  me,  was  at  the  time 
pictured  so  strongly  upon  my  imagination, 
that  it  never  wore  oflf  entirely.  It  was  much 
after  this  fashion.  The  wolfs  jaws  were  open. 
ed  wide  enough  to  take  a  poor  feller's  head  in 
and  fancy  pictured  that  event  as  tfeing  about 
to  happen  scores  of  times.  I  became  afraid 
to  be  alone  in  the  dark.  Oh,  how  much  I  did 
Bufier  from  these  foolish  fears  I 

Now  I  should  not  say  a  wore  about  these 
things,  if  I  did  ont  happen  to  know  that  there 
are  a  great  many  boys  and  girls  whose  heads 
have   been  filled  with  such  stories,  and  who 
suffer  as  much  as  I  did.     I  want  to  say  a 
word  or  two  to  such  chtitinsb.      4— ptty 
you.     But  really,  there  is  no  need  of  any 
such  terror.      I  saw  this  plainly   enough, 
after  a  while.     W  hy ,  these  stories  are  not 
true,  There  is  not  a  word  of  truthin  them. 
1  should  not,  to  be  sure,  attempt  to  drive 
you  up  8tair8,.or  down   the  cellar,   in  a 
dark  night.     I  would  rather   reason  with 
you,  and   try    to  show  you   that  there  is 
not  the  least  cause  in  the   world  for  youi- 
fears.      1  know  how  you  feel  when  any 
body   asks  you  to  go  alone  into  a  dark 
room.     You  are  afraid  of  something,  and 
for  your  life  calinot   tell  what.     1  should 
not   wonder  very   much  if  some  of  you 
were  afraid  of  the  dark.      I  have  heard 
children  talk   about  being  afraid  of  the 
dark.     You  laugh,  perhaps.     It  is  rather 
funny—almost   U)o  fuimy  to  be  treated 
seriously.     Well,  if  it  is  not  the  daa-k, 
what  is  it  your  are  afraid  oft      Y'our  pa- 
rents and  others,  who  are  older  than  you 
are,  go  alone  into  dark  places  a  thousand 
times  in  the  course  of  a  year.     Did  you 
ever  hear  them  say  any  thing  about  nie^jt- 
ing  a  single  one  of  tbe  heroes  of  the  fright- 
ful stories  you   have   heaod?     Do  you 
think  they  ever  came  across  a  ghost,  or  an 
apparition,  or  a  fairy,  or  an  elf,  or  a  witch 
or   a  hobgoblin,   or   a  giant,   or   a  Blue- 
Beard,  or  a  wolf,  or  a  bear  1      It  makes 
you  smile  to  think  of  it.     Well,  then, 
afler  all,  don't  you  think  it  would  be   a 
great  deal   wiser   and  better   to  turn  all 
these  foolish  fancies  out  of  your  head, 
iuf  t  as  one  would  get  rid  of  a  company 
of  saucy  rats  and  mice   that  were  doing, 
mischief  in  the  cellar  or  com  house  ? 


Th*  wordly  Tamily- 

For  some  years  befbre  his  death.  Mr. 
Hervey  visited  but  few  persons  belong- 
ing to  ijie  higher  classes  of  society  in  his 
neighborhood  j  and  being  asked  why  he 
declinel  visit  ng  those  who  were  always 
ready  to  show  mm  every  token  of  respect, 
he  replied,  "  I  can  hardly  name  a  polite 
fninily  wheje  the  conversation  turns  upon 
tie  things  of  God.  I  hear  much  frothy 
and  wordly  chit-chat,  but  not  a  word  of 
God  ;  wid  I  am  determined  not  to  visit 
those  companies  where -there  is  not  room 
for  my  Master  aa  well  as  for  myself."

mination  of  Animals   used   for 
;Food. 

The  propriety  of  examining  animals  before 
they  are  admitted  to  the  Market,  as  is  done 
among  the  jews,  has  been  pointed  out  on  sev- 
eral occasions.  We  give  room  to  the  follows 
ng  item  as  bearing  on  the  subject,  for  had  a 
thorrough  examination  of  the  animals  taken 
place,  tbe  seat  of  the  mortar  disease  won  d 
surely  have  teen  tmni  oat,  either  in  the  milk 
ungs  liver  or  other  part. 

DisBASE  AMONG  CATTLK.-An  scquainUnce 
of  ours,  who  paid  a  visit  recently  to  Dry  Creek, 
in  the  lower  part  of  this  county,  says  that 
quite  a  number  of  honored  cattle  have  died 
this  fall,  from  some  complaint  which  it  seems 
difficult  to  understaad.      It  appears  to  attack 
the  cattle,  very  suddenly,  amd  the  animal  diet 
before  showing  symptons  of  illness.    Our  in 
formantsays  be  saw  one  young  steer  die  wtik^ 
in  five  minutes  after  be  laid  down.     A  Mr- 
Brown,  on    dry  Creek  lost  an  ox,  which  he 
afterwards  skinned,  and  came  near  losing  is 
own  life  from  tbe  effect  of  tbe  blood  of  the  ani- 
mal, which  became  inoculated  in  a  sore  on  his 
left  band.    Several  hogs  and  dogs  died  from 
eating  the  carcass  of  tbe  animal.    Mr.  Brown 
had  no  reason  to  suspect  that  it  was  poisoned 
unless  perhaps  by  some  weed.     Mr.  Driver 
lost  four  animals  tn  this  way.    Several  of  the 
cattle  have  been  opened,  but  nothing  uncom- 
mon discovered  in  the  stomach.— /'tacer  Her- 
ald. 


Rev. J. JWritbrect  says,  "I  once  visited 
the  rajah  of  Burdwan,   anb    found   him 
sitting  in   his  treasury.     Fifty   bags    of 
money  containing  one  thousanb     rupees 
in  each,    were  placed  before.him  'What,' 
said  I,  'are  you  doing  with  all  this  mony^  j, 
Hereplied,  'itis  for  my  gods,'How  doyou 
mean  that?'  I  rejoined.  ^'One  part  is  sent 
to  Benares,  where  I  have  two  fhie  temples 
on  the  river-side,  and  many  priests  who 
pray  for  me;  another  part  goes  to  Jugger- 
naut ;  and  a  third,  to  Gay«.'  Thus    one 
nati  e  Is  spending  one  hundred  and  elev- 
en  thousand  dollars  annually,  from  his 
princely  income,  upon  idols  and  Brahmins.

Numbers  of  persons,  says  an  author,  if 
ey  could  rise  from  their  graves,  and 
the  tombstones  set  them  by  their  re- 
tions,  would  not  Relieve  that  they  were 
I  them.  For  not  only  is  the  old  dictum 
ue,   "vm/<  populus  deeipi"  the   populus 

at  to  be  deceived,  but  history  tells  us, 
ley  want  to  deceive. 
The  abuse  of  ascribing  virtues  to  the 

1  which  they  never  deserved,  was  the 
Ipic  of  many  a  pen. 

I  nowewer,  that  this  was  not  the  case 
nong  all  nations,  will  appear  from  the 
blowing  which  we  copy  from  Wilkin- 

I  The  Egyptians  deserve  recommenda- 
m  of  having  been  true  in  this  respect, 
M  of  having  practised  a  custom  which 
^uld  not  have  failed  to  exercise  a  healthy 

Huence  on  their  whole  lives,  and  the  re- 
ef which  will  be  the  subject  of  the 

Uowing  item : 

The  coffin  or   mummy   case  was  then 
led  forth,"    and    deposited    in    the 
I  drawn  upon  a  sledge  to  the  saored 

bofthenome.Hereit  was  that  the  most 
^'raordinary  ceremony,  recorded  in  hi- 
tory,  took  place.  Before  the  body  was 
plowed  to  cross  the  river,  which  crossing 
ras  the  symbol  (sign,  image)  of  the  souls 
wssing  from  this  world  to  the  regions  of 
^e  blessed  soul,  it  had  to  be  judged, 
jhe  manner  in  which  this  was  done,  was 
'follows :  k 

Arpved  at  in  sacresliyce^  the  cofHn 
plaoad  in  the  baris,  or  consecrated 
»t  of  the  dead,  towed  by  a  larger  one

luently  a    spacious  cabin,    which,  in 


Funeral  Boat,  or  Paris.

the  serviL  had  been  performed  to  them.  The  priest  is  pourtng  oil  over  them  On 
healto^Trelhree  vies  of  oil,  cakes,  a  basket  of  grages,  and  some  other  things 
whTwere  indistinct  from  being  much  defeced.)  fielow  are  two  ^gl*««  ^«^t\«^^^^ 
wine.  Even  this  serious  subject  the  Egyptian  artiste  could  not  refrain  from  their 
bveof  caricature;  and  one  of  the  mummies  is  falling  dowp upon  the  priest,  who 
supporte  it  with  his  hands.  <M 


company  with  other  sailuig  boate  carry- 
ing the  mourners  and  all  those  things  ap- 
pertaining   to    the    funeral,  (see    Cut). 

It  frequently  happened  that  the  deceas- 
ed, with  his  wife,  if  dead  at  the  time  of 
his  funeral,  was  represented  seated  under 
a  canopy  in  lieu  of  the  coffln.  Before  him 
stood  an  altar  laden  with  offerings  ;  and 
a  priest,  opening  a  long  roll  of  papyrus, 
read  aloud  the  fipieral  ritual,  and  an  ac- 
count of  his  gooddeeds,  "in  order  to  show 
to  Osirisf  and  the  Assessors  the  extent  of 
his  piety    and  justice    during    his   life." 

Notice  having   been  previously  given 


ward  an  accusation"  against  the  deceased. 
If  it  could  be  provpd  that  he  had  led  an 
evil  life,  .the  judges  declared  accordingly, 
and  the  body  waa  deprived  of  the  accu- 
stomed sepulture ;  but  if  the  accuser  faib 
ed  to  establish  what  he  had  advanced,  he 
was  subject  to  the  heaviest  penalties. 
When  there  was  np  accuser,  or  when  the 
accusation  had  iMki  disproved,  the  rela- 
tions ceased  from  <|»eir  lamentations,  and 
pronounced  enfonium*  on  the  deceased. 
They  did  not  enlarge  apon  his  descent,  as 
is  usual  among  the  flteeks,  for  they  hold 
that  all  the  Egyptians  are  equally  noble  ; 


to  vne  Juug«:o,  »"«  •  j^  —  course  of  his  Studies  1  and  then  prais- 


made  of  the  appointed  day,  forty-two  jud-

banks  of  the  lake,  the  boat  was  brought 
up,  provided  expressly  for  the  occasion, 
under  the  direction  of  a  boatman  called, 
in  the  Egyptian  language,  Charon  ]  and 
it  is  from  hence,  says  Diodorus,  "that  the 
fable'  of  Hades  is  said  to  be  denved, 
which  Orpheus  introduced  into  Greece." 
"When  the  boat  was  ready  for  the  re- 
ception of  the  coffin,  it  was  lawful  for  any 
person  who  thought  proper  to  bring  for- 


tTbeJudse  of  llM  daparted  aoula  In  the  other  world. 


the  course  ofhif  Sidles;  and  then  prais- 
ii^  his  piety  and  justice,  his  temperance, 
and  the  other  virtues  he  possessed,  they 
supplicated  the  gods  below,  to  receive 
in  pf  the  pious.  This 
received  by  theras- 


him  as  a  com 
announcement 
sembled   multi 
and  they  joined 
the  deceased, 
for  ever  with 
of  Hades.      The 
those  who  had  iMPy 


with  acclamations 

tolling  the  glory  of 

about  to  remain 

lous  in  the  regions 

was  then  taken  by 

catacombs  already 


prepared;  and  film  in  tlte  repository  al- 
lotted to  it."    ;  ^. " 


When  the  boate  reached  the  other  side  of 
the  lake,  the  yards  were  lowered  to  the 
top  of  the  cabin,  and  all  those  engaged  in 
the  <jeremony  left  them  and  proceeded  to 
the  tomb,  from  which  they  appear  t<i  have 
returned  by  land,  without  rccrossing  the 

lake. 

The  pivwossion  went  in  the  sameorder  to 

the  tomb,    at  which  the  priest  offered  a 

sacrifice,  \^th   incense  and   libation,  the 

women  still  continuing  their  lamentations, 

united  with  prayers  and  praises  of  the  de 

ceased. 

"Some,"  continues  the  historian,  "who 
were  not  poseessed  of  catacombs,  con- 
structed a  new  apartment  for  the  purpose 
in  their  own  house,  and  set  the  coffin  up 
right  against  the  firmest  of  the  walls  ;  and 
the  same  was  done  with  the  bodies  of 
those  who  had  been  debarred  the  rites  of 
burial  on  account  of  the  accusation 
brought  against  them,  or  in  consequence 
of  debts  they  or  their  sons  had  contract- 
ed. These  last,  however,  if  their  chil- 
dren's children  happened  to  be  prosper- 
ous, were  released  from  the  impedimente 
of  their  creditors,  and  at  length  received 
the  ceremony  of  a  magnificent  burial. 
It  was,,  indeed,  most  solemnly  established 
in  Egypt  that  parente  and  ancestors 
should  have  a  more  marked  token  of  re- 
spect paid  them  by  their  fwnily,  after  they 
had  been  transferred  to  their  everlasting 
habitations.  Hence  originated  the  custom 
of  depositing  the  bodies  of  their  deceased 
parente  as  pledges  for  the  pavment  of 
borrowed  money ;  those  who  failed  to  re- 
deem those  pledges  being  subject  to  the 
heaviest  disgrace,  and  deprived  of  burial 
after  their  own  death." 

The  grief  of  those  who  were  not  ad- 
mitted the  rites  of  burial,  were  excessive. 

It  is  true  that  the  duration  of  this  pu- 
nishment was  liniited  according  to  the 
extent  of  the  crimes  of  which  the  aocus 
ed  had  been  guilty ;  and  when  the  devo- 
tion of  friends,  aided  by  liberal  donations 
in  the  service  of  religion,  and  the  influent- 
ial prayers  of  the  prieste,  had  sufficiently 
softened  the  otherwise  inexorable  nature 
of  the  gods,  the  period  of  the  sjate  of  pur- 

fatory  was  doubtless  shoiiened  ;  and 
)iodorus  shows  tliat  grandclffidreti,  who 
had  the  means  and  inclination,  might  a- 
vail  themselves  of  the  same  method  of 
satisfying  their  creditors  and  the  gods. 

The  form  of  the  ritual  road  by  the 
priest  in  pronouncing  the  acquittal  of  the 
dead  is  preserved  in  the  tombs  usually 
jst  the  entrance  passage,  in  which  the  de- 
ceased is  made  to  enumerate  all  the  sins 
forbidden  by  the  Egyptian  law,  and  to 
assert  his  innocence  of  each.  They  are 
supposed  by  Champollio|^  the  French  ar- 
chflBologist,  to  amount  to  forty-twt), 
being  equal  in   number  to  the  assessors

peculiar  crime  whi<^  it  was  his  province, 
to  punish. 

^Every  large  city,  as  Thebes,  MempbW, 
and  some  others,  had  its  lake,  at  which 
the  same  c-eremonios  were  practiaed  ;  and

of  the  "lake  of  the  nome,"  thfljtthecapi

ity,  to  which  thi-  funeral  procession  of  all 
who  (lied  within  the  jurisdictiou  oftiie

when  tlie  prieete  granted  a  diBpensation 
for  tbe  removal  ofabt)dy  to  another 
Uiwn,  as  was  sometimes  done  in  favour 
of  those  who  desired  to  be  buried  at  Aby- 
duBjf  and  other  places,  the  previous  Cere- 
mony of  pawing  trough  this  ordeal  was 
doubtle^ij,  required  at  the  lake  of  their 
own  pjtKince. 

TnW  persons  who,  from  their  extreme 
poverty,  ha<l  tio  place  prepared  for  reoeiv-

NUTBITIVI    PR0PKRTIK8    OF    FISH. 


Thii  clMf  of  animals  yields  an  almost  end- 
less variety  of  food  for  man.  It  furnishes  a 
mnoh  greater  namber  of  edible  genera  and 
8i)eciee  then  any  other  clasn.  From  it,  some 
nations  derire  their  chiaf  sustenance.  The 
inhabitants  of  the  most  northern  parts  of  Eu- 
rope, Asia,  and  America,  where  but  few  ali- 
mentary plants  are  found,  are  compelled  to 
life  almost  exclasiTJly  on  fish. 

In  many  fishes  the  flesh  is  mixed  with,  or 
corered  by,  oily  or  fatty  matter,  as  in  the 
Salmon,  the  Herring,  the  Pilchard,  the  Sprat, 
and  the  Eel.  This  is  more  abundant  in  the 
thioner  or  abdominal  parts  than  in  the  thicker 
or  dorsal  portions.  Hence  the  thinnest  part 
of  salmon  is  preferred  by  epicures-  After 
■pawning,  the  quantity  of  this  dil  is  greatly 
diminished. 

Tne  fleeb  of  the  Whiting,  the  Ood,  the  Had- 
dock, the  Sole,  the  Plaice,  the  Floonder,  the 
Tarbot,  and  many  other  speciee,  ia  white; 
hence  they  are  termed  White  fith.  The  flesh 
of  these  flfhes,  when  in  season,  becomes  white 
and  opaque  by  boiling  ;  bat,  when  the  animal 
is  out  of  cooditioB,  it  remains  semi  transpftrent 
and  bluish  after  being  sufficiently  cooked. 

The  flesh  of  some  species  is  colored  :  thus 
that  of  the  Salmon  is  pale-red.  The  htefur 
the  color,  the  more  highly  the  fleah  of  these 
fishes  is  estesmed. 

The  fiesh  of  the  nuUi  fish,  sailed  the  melter 
or  Boft-roBd,  is  in  general  coruidtrtd  to  be  su- 
perior to  that  of  the  female,  called  the  bard- 
roed  :  at  least  this  is  certainly  the  case  with 
the  Salmon  and  the  Herring. 

The  flesh  offish  is  in  the  greatest  perfection 
for  food  at  the  period  of  the  ripening  of  the 
milt  and  the  roe.  It  is  then  said  to  be  in  sea- 
son. At  this  lime,  the  flesh,  especially  of  the 
thinner  or  abdominal  part,  of  many  fishes,  as 
of  the  Salmon  and  Herring,  abounds  in  oily 
matter,  and  powesses,  in  the  highest  dt^ee, 
flavor  and  richn3ss.  *But  after  the  fish  has  de- 
posited it?  spawn,  the  flesh  becomes  soft,  flabby 
and  ia'eriflg  in  flavor,  owing  to  the  disappear- 
•nee  of  thf  oil  or  fat  whieh  has  been  cojsum- 
ed  in  the  f^inction  of  reproduction. 

The  digestibiliiy  of  fish  varies  considerably 
in  different  specie*  The  oily  fi»he8  are  always 
more  difficult  of  digestion ;  and,  in  oonseq-ience, 
are  unfit  for  the  use  of  invalids.  Melted  but- 
ter, lobster  sauce,  shrimp  sauce,  and  egg  sauce 
a  every  indigestible  additions  to  fish  ;  they 
are  exceedingly  obnoxious  to  the  stomach,  and 
should  be  excluded  from  the  table  of  the  inra- 
lid.  The  digeetibility  of  fish  is  also  injured 
by  frying  them;  the  fryins^pan,  says  an  able 
ohyslcian,  is  an jibomi nation  in  the  house. 
,  The  Whitinf,  the  Haddock,  the  Sole,  the 
Plaice,  the  Flounder,  the  Cod,  and  the  Tur- 
bot,  are  devoid  of  oil  or  fat,  (except  ia  their

Swf  dtaee»ail»t^  andbority  o(i4T©r.    pe 
aSdodi  is  very  sirniBf  to  the  Whiting,  but 

and  digestibility.  Tl»  Cod,  when  in  good 
condition,  yields  an  sBcellent  food,  but  it  is 
denser,  lew  delicate,  a»d  probably  somewhat 
1ms  easr  of  digestion,  than  either  the  whiting 
or  haddock.  Among  flat-flsb.  the  8«le  Is  di- 
Btingnised  for  its  teedem«e«,  delieaey.and  easy 
digestibility.  The  Floonder  and  the  Plaice, 
especially  when  small,  are  tender  aed  delicate 
The  Tarbot  for  flavor  is  justly  regarded  as 
"the  prince  of  Sat  fish,"  but  is  richer  and  1<  ss 
digestible  than  the  flat-fish  just  mentioned. 
The  gelatinous  skin  is  especially  unit  Cor  de- 
Heale  aiomaehfc  Th»Brill,  tbongh  ao  ejoel- 
lent  fisb,  is  inferior  in  flavor  to  the  turbot.  for 
which,  howtiwer,  it  is  sometimes  subetitnted. 
The  flesh  of  fish  is  leas  satisfying  to  the  ap- 
petite than  the  Hesh  of  either  quadmpede  or 
birds.  Aa  it  contain*-*  larger  proportien  of 
water,  it  is  ob^lonsly  less  nourishing.  A  fish 
d;et,  therefore,  is  less  snbwtantial  than.eitk» 
butcher's  meat  or  poultry-  Medicinally,  we 
employ  it,  when  the  digeetive  powers  are  on- 
able  to  assimilate  stronger  kinds  of  alimeats, 
or  when  it  is  considered  des  rable  to  avoid  the 
Htimulus  which  butcher V meat  communicates 
to  the  system.  , .  ,    .  . ,. 

By  drying,  salting,  smoking,  and  pickling, 
the  digestibility  of  fish  is  greatly  impaired ; 
though,  in  some  caeee.  iheir  savory.  Btimulat- 
inff.  and  evennntririve  qualities,  may  be  aug- 
mented. Dried,  salted,  smoked,  and  pickled 
fish,  therefore,  are  totally  anfit  for  dyspeptics 
and  inralids.  By  dryioir,  part  of  the  water  is 
got  rid  of.  and  thereby  the  relative  proportion 
of  solid  or  nutritive  matter  is  aagm-nted  :  but 
the  fish  is  more  difficult  of  dijrestion.  Salt 
fish  excitee  thirst  and  feverish  symptoms. 
Smoked  fish,  as  smoked  sprats, sometimeArove 
iniurioas-  "Putrid  pickled  salmon  haPbc^- 
aioned  death;  and  I  may  mention."  says  Dr. 
Christison,  that  I  have  known  most  violent 
diarrhea  occasioned  in  two  instances  by  a  very 
snail  portion  of  the  oily  matter  about  the  fins 
of  Kipper  or  smoked  salmon,  so  that  I  have 
no  doubt  a  moderate  f^uantity  wotid  pradace 
very  serious  eflects."  j  -      -i 

The  livers  of  fishis  always  abound  in  oiJ. 
In  the  Cod.  the  WhilHng,  the  flat  fish,  and  some 
others,  this  is  the  onlyorgar  which  contains 
oil.  Though  the  livers  of  some  fishes,  ss  the 
Cod  and  Barbot,  are  maeh  admired  as  articles

Man- 


A  promise  of  a  debtor  to  give  'satisfactory 
security"  for  the  payment  of  a  portion  of  hia 
debt,  is  a  sufficient  consideration  for  a  release 
of  the  residue  by  his  creditor.

The   following  opinions   of  Sir  George 
Mackenzie,  will  «t»t  jft«©t  with  a  general 
belief;    they,   however  are  not  the   less 
correct.     And  had  the  author  had  the  ad- 
vantages  which  we  enjoy,   he  woidd  have 
written  with  more  confidence.     Our  un- 
justifiable shallowness,  materialism,  and 
race  afler  riches,   precludes  from   us  the 
enjoyments  of  a  spiritual  life,   and  even 
the  belief  of  the   existence  of  such.     We 
live  in  wood,  stone,   in  iron,   silver  and 
gold--  in  fact  everjjwhere,  but  not  iu  our- 
selves, we  »ee,   we  work  for  all  objects 
but  for  our  indwelling  soul ;    and  the  con- 
sequence is,  that  the  clay  grows  so  thick 
over  the  hicid  principle  within  us,  that  it 
is  not  allowed  to  transpire  till  the  great 
and  aweftil   day  will  come,  when  the  pri- 
son shall  be  burst,  and  we  shall  find  that 
we  have  sold  ourselves  for  a  mass  of  pot- 
tage  and  idols   of  gold— and  killed  the 
prophet  within  us,  as  men  in  every  age 
have  done  those  whom  God   sent  among 
them.     We  now  quote  Sir  George: 

From  this  divine  principle,  that  Man's 
soul  is  made  after  God's  image,   I  am  al- 
most induced  to  believe  that  Prophecy 
is  no  miraculous  gift  bestowed  upon  the 
soul  at  extraordinary  occasions  only,  but 
is  a  natural  (though  the  highest)   perfec- 
tion of  our  Human  Nature.      For  if  it  be 
natural  for  the  stamp  to  have  impressed 
upon  it  all  the  traits  that  dwell  upon  the 
face  of  the  seal,  then  it  must  be  natural 
tothesonl,    which  is  God's  impresaa,  to 
have  a  faculty  of  foreseeing,   since  that  is 
one  of  God's  excellenftfes.      Albeit  I  con- 
fess,  that,  that   stamp  is  here  (on  e^rth) 
infinitely  bedinuned  and  worn  off;    as  al- 
so we  know  by  experience,  that  men  up- 
on  a  death-bed,   when   the  soul  begins 
(being    detached    by    sidaiess   from  the 
body's  slavery)  to  act  like  itself,  do  fore- 
see and  foretell  many  remote  and  impro- 
bable events.      And  for  the  same  reason, 
I  do  think  predictions  by  dreams  not  to 
be  extraordinary  revelations,   but  rather 
the  products  of  a  raUonai  soul,  (when  re- 
moved from   out^s-ard   terrestrial  influen- 
ces.)   And  if  sagacious  mep,^  Cftn  be  sp 


sharp-sighted  in  this   stat*  of  glimmi 
as  to  foresee  many  erventa,  which  fcll , 
why  may  we  not«»y  that  Man,  if  he 
rehabilitated  in^the  former  state  of, 
uature,  might,  without  any  extraordin 
assistance,  foresee  and  prophesy  1  y,^

(Continued  from  No.  43,  p.  339.) 

We  promised  our  readers  to  try  a  solution 
of  the  strange  reviral  of  memory  of  Mr.  Oe- 
orge,  one  of  those  saved  &om  the  wreck  of  the 
Central  Amtrica,  while  exposed  to  the  mercy 
of  the  wavaa.  He  heard  a  voice  calling  t* 
his  conscience  and  consciousness  a  fact  which 
he  taught  time  had  eflkced  from  the  tablets  of 
his  heart.  We  have  already  anticipated  our 
opinion,  and  stated  the  opinion  of  Abercrom- 
bie.  We  will  give  a  few  more  in- 
stances of  such  (koti  under  similar  circumstan- 
ces, from  which  it  will  be  clear  that  on  the 
transition  from  this  to  the  future  lifb  which, 
aa  we  have  showed  in  our  last  number,  is,  in 
some  manner,  a  state  of  dreaming,  we  see  our 
whole  embodi^  life  open  before  us,  and  have 
a  fall  view  of  all  our  past  thoughts,  deeds 
and  their  motives,  painted  in  more  vivid  co- 
lors than  ever  we  Ese  them  in  this  lifie,  in  which 
our  consciousness  ia  daubed  over  by  the  gross 
matter  in  which  we  are  ensbeathed ;  and  that 
we  thas  carry  our  history  with  as  in  our  fu- 
ture state  to  our  honour  or  our  diagraoa. 

We  quote  the  instances  from  the  Spiritual 
Telegraph.  The  cases  are  authenticated,  and 
we  have  the  testimony  of  the  beat  men  in  cor- 
roboration of  such  facts : 

Mr.  W.  J.  Bancr,  a  well  known  gentleman 
of  New-York,  whose  word  will  io  no  case 
be  doubted  by  his  acquaintances,  has  experi- 
enced the  following  curious  fact:  While 
riding  rapidly  on  horseback  several  years  ago, 
near  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  he  turned  his 
head  to  inspect  a  ctirious  inscription  on  a  ban- 
ner which  he  saw  by  the  side  of  the  street. 
While  his  attention  was  thus  diverted  from 
his  horse,  the  latter  stumbled  and  threw  him 
over  his  head.  The  ground  upon  which  he 
was  about  to  fall  being  hard  and  stony,  he 
fully  expected  to  be  killed,  and  with  this  ap- 
prehension strongly  impressed  upon  his  mind, 
and  while  he  was  passing  from  the  horse  to 
the  ground,  every  incident,  even  to  the  most 
minute,  which  had  occurred  from  his  in&noy 
to  that  moment,  stood  out  before  his  mind 
with  all  the  vividnesa  of  its  original  oocur- 


resoa.  Bren  the  moat  ioaigniflcant  acta  that 
he  had  parfbrmed,  and  words  that  had  been 
apokon  to  him  by  otbaia,  were  now  recalled— 
the  eveoto  all  appMriag  i».»Mr  ptoper  ordar 
of  sucoeaaion,  and  without  the  alight^  jumbl-

be  had  time  to  consider  his  proepocts  for  the 
future  world,  before  he  struck  upon  the  ground. 
For  cases  of  this  kind,  many  of  which  might 
be  related,  the  reflective  reader  can  not  fail  to 
derive  an  in^trootiv^  lessen  in  respect  to  the

Danger  of  premature  Burials. 

We  have  on  fomer  occasions  pointed  out 
danger  of  a  hasty,  removal  of  tba  dead 
iUostratiog  our  warning  by  some  tlifriUmg  ac- 
count of  persoDt  who  were  buriel  a  live. 
We  hear  repeat  that  physcians  a^ree  that  there 
is  no  other  sign  of  actual  death  bat  incipient 
mortification. 

And  it  is  dreadful  to  think  hom  many  per- 
sons may  have  been  actually  buried,  hearing 
every  nail  that  was  screwed  into  their  own 
coffin,  and  as  perfectly  aware  of  the  whole  cer- 
emony as  those  HfW>  followed  them  to  the 
grave. 

To  impress  upon  our  readers  the  necessity 
of  reform,  we  give  the  following  facts  In  ad- 
dition to  those  related  on  former  occasions : 

Dr.  Binns  mentions  a  girl,  at  Canton,  who 
lay  in  this  state,  hearing  every  word  that  was 
Eaid  around  her,  but  utterly  unable  to  move 
a  finger.  She  tried  to  cry  out,  but  could  not 
and  supposed  that  she  was  really  dead.  The 
horror  of  finding  herself  about  to  be  bnried  at 
length  caused  a  per^;tiratiQB.  to  appear  on  her 
skin,  and  !<he  finally  revived.  She  described 
that  she  felt  that  her  soul  had  no  power  to  act 
upon  her  body,  and  that  it  seemed  to  be  in  her 
body  and  out  of  it,  at  the  same  time  1 

Now,  this  Is  very  much  what  the  sonambu- 
lists  say :  their  soul  ts  out  of  the  body,  but  is 
still  so  far  in  rapport  with  it,  that  it  doe^ot 
leave  it  entirely.  Probably  magnetism  would 
be  the  best  means  of  reviving  a  person  from 
this  state. 

A  Mr.  S ,  who  had  been  some  time 

out  of  the  country,  died  apparently,  two  days 
after  his  return.  As  be  bad  eaten  of  a  pad. 
ding  which  his  stepmother  had  made  for  his 
dinner  with  her  own  hands,  people  took  into 
their  heads  she  had  poisened  him  ;  and,  the 
grave  being  opened  for  purposes  of  investiga- 
tion, the  body  was  found  lying  on  its  face. 

One  of  the  most  frightful  cases  extant  is 
that  of  Dr.  Walker,  of  IJublin,  who  had  so 
strong  a  presentiment  on  this  subject,  that 
he  had  actually  written  a  treatise  against  the 
Irish  customs  of  hasty  burials.  He  himself 
subsequently  died,  as  was  believed,  of  a  fever. 
His  decease  took  place  in  the  night,  and  on 
the  following  day  he  was  interred.  At  this 
time,  Mrs.  Bellamy,  the  once-celebrated  ac- 
tress, was  in  Ireland ;  and  as  she  had  prom- 
ised him,  in  the  coarse  of  conversation,  that 
she  would  take  care  he  should  not  be  laid  in 
the  earth  till  unequivocal  signs  of  dissolution 
had  appeared,  she  no  sooner  heard  of  what  had 
happened  then  she  took  measures  to  have  the 
grave  reopened  ;  but  it  was,  unfortunately! 
too  late ;  Dr.  Walker  had  evidently  revived 
and  had  turned  upon  bis  sid^  but  life  was  now 
quite  extinct.  a  fliAlt^ilM^ 

We  give  one  more  instairce  f^om  tkUMM- 
An  aged  Hebrew  woman, 
I,  after  a  protracted 
illness,  died  to  all  appearances,  at  the  residence 
of  her  son  iadianffiSlMMiMda  As  usual  the 
body  was  laid  out  and  otherwise  prepared  for 
the  service  of  the  grave.  A  watch  was  kept 
during  the  night  according  to  osaal  custom, 
the  grave  was  prepared,  the  coffin  was  procur- 
ed, and  friends  and  relativea  the  next  day 
assembled  to  pay  the  last  sad  tribute  of  res- 
pect to  the  dead.  She  had  baen  pronounced 
dead  by  the  attending  physician,  the  body  was 
placed  in  the  coSin,  and  preparations  were 
made  to  screw  down  the  lid,  when  one  of  the 
members  of  the  family,  while  kcnding  over  the 


Hfeless  form,  exclaimed  with  a  shriek  that  the 
dead  had  come  to  life. 

All  present  immediately  gathered  around 
the  coffin,  and  in  a  moment  after  the  enshroud- 
ed corpse  like  form  rose  from  her  narrow  bed, 
and  embraced  her  children  and  relatives  with 
an  the  fervor  of  renewed  life  and  afleotion.  To 
all  appearanoes  she  became  convalescent,  to  the 
joy  of  all  present,  and  subsequently,  we  are 
informed,  partook  of  food  with  a  healthfu 
aeat  and  appetite.  She  remained  io  this 
condition  until  the  approach  of  night,  when 
she  tottered  to  the  bed,  and  in  a  few  momenta 
breathed  her  last.  In  a  hope  that  the  last 
indication  of  death  was  like  the  former,  only  a 
spell  or  a  trance,  strong  efforts  were  made  for 
her  restoration,  but  all  in  vain. 

Since  the  composition  of  the  above,  we 
found  the  following  noiice  'nflh  New  York 
liiiliilUU  uf  OLl  M  UU  :  AmuvC^^^t 

A50TBBR     CaSI    OF    ^' SusrBJCDBD    ANIMA- 

xiOK,"— A  Mrs.  Snyder,  residing  near  McGal- 
leysville,  Va.,  one  day  l«st  week  suddenly 
fell  down,  apparently  dead.  The  noceeary 
burial  clothes  were  procured,  aad  while  her 
friends  were  engaged  in  dressing  her  in  the 
in  the  habiliments  of  the  grave,  she  politely 
requested  them  to  wait  until  she  was  dead  j 
It  is  needless  to  say  that  her  request  was 
cheerfully  complied  with.  She  is  now  rapidly 
improving. 


ADVERTISEMENTS. 


Use  of  Tobaco  by  the  Hottbntotb. — 
Mr.Barrow,  in  his  Travels,  speaks  of  the 
use  made  by  the  hottentots  of  this  plant, 
for  the  purpose  of  destroying  snake8:"A 
Hottentot,"  says  he,  "applied  some  of  it 
from  the  short  end  of  his  wooden  tobaco- 
pipe  to  the  mouth  of  the  snake  while  dar^ 
ing  out  his  tongue.  Tte  effect  was  instan 
taneous  ad  an  electric  shock:  with  a  con- 
vulsiue  motion  that  was  momentary,  the 
snake  half  untwisted  itself,  and  never  sti- 
rred more'  and  the  whole  animal  felt  hard 
and  rigid,  as-  if  dried  in  the  snn. 

Gregarious  Spiders. — Upon  the  banks 
of  the  Amazon,  spiders,  which  are  solita- 
ry in  Europe  and  Asia,  live  in  congrega- 
ted societies  of  several  thousands.  Taking 
possession  of  a  tree,  they  unite  in  form- 
ing a  net  entirely  over  it.  When  this  net 
is  completed,  they  take  their  several  sta- 
tions;  each  secures  its  own  prey  without 
disturbance:  each  labours  for  itself  ;but  in 
case  of  damage  to  their  net,  they  all  la- 
bour to  repair  it  for  their  general  good 

A  Valuable  Receipt. —  "Pray,  Mr. 
Abemethy,  what  is  a  cure  for  the  gouti" 
was  the  question  of  an  indolent  and  luxu- 
rious  citizen.  "  Live  on  sixpence  a  day 
and  earn  it;"  was  the  pithy  answer.

Babbinioel  Ooll«ff«  of  Sitomir. 

This  iastitate  «m  established  by  tbe  empe- 
ror ef  BMsie  in  1847.  It  eoaote  about  200 
sUidente,  amoeg  whom  47  ere  crowD-pension- 
ers,  who  are  maintained  at  the  expense  of  the 
goTeriment  dariog  their  study.  For  this 
tkTor  they,  in  return,  have  to  perform  tbe  func- 
tiOB  of  Bebbi  or  Teacher  (according  to  which 
station  they  had  qualified  themselves)  for  ten 
years  at  a  stated  salary.  The  institute  has  8 
Jewish  and  as  many  Christian  teachers,  a 
^hristno  tlirecUxi ,  stid  tato  ft  general  super-  ^ 
inteodent,  and  also  one  Jewish  inspector,  all 
salaried  by  the  government.  It  is  divided 
n  seven  classes,  of  which  the  3  first  are  pre- 
paratory ones,  which  are  subdivided  in  three 
eoorses.  The  first  course  is  devoted  to  the 
formation  of  Podagogaes,  the  other  two  for 
Rabbis,  who,  after  having  passed  the  school, 
have  to  practise  with  a  Babbi  one  year,  in 
order  to  qualify  themselves  in  dispensing  di- 
vorces, and  Halizotk  (Deut  v.  5-10)  after 
which  they  pass  the  final  examination,  and  are 
created  Rabbis.  The  school  has  alread ja  fur- 
nished pedagogues,  whose  blissful  exertions  in 
the  first  and  second  division  are  duly  acknow- 
ledged on  all  hands. 

The  following  is  the  Programme 

I.  For  tbe  Theological  Department : 

1.  The  Bible,  in  the  lower  classes,  according 
to  Mendelsohn's  translation ;  in  the  higher, 
according  to  Philipsohn's  Bible  work. 

2.  Hebrew  Grammar,  and  Composition.

Lately  tbe  government  has  granted  a  sum 
fer  the  maintenance  of  a  synagogue  for  the 
pupils  and  teachers,  for  which  purpose  till  now 
the  limited  school  rooms  had  to  be  used.  A 
choir,  formed  by  the  pupib  and  conducted  by 
a  teacher  of  music  engaged  for  that  purpose 
has  already  been  introduced  some  years  age.

their  several  sUtions  ;  each  secures  ita  ow« 
prey  without  disturbance  ;  each  labours  to^

labour  to  repair  it  for  their  general  good, 
who  died  on  the  road,  and  conducting  the  po* 
litical  eorrespondeuce  between  the  courts  of 
Alx-lft-Oh^)elle  and  Bagdad.  It  cannot  be 
wondered  if  this  embassy  gave  rise  ta  the 
wildest  speculation  in  thai  ignorant  age,  both 
ft«  to  its  trbjeeig  aed  its  «veet.  It  wasgivsn 
out  that  the  Calif  granted  Judea  as  free  gift 
to  Charlemagne ;  others  limit  his  generosity 
to  Jeiusalem,  others  tothe  key  of  tbe  Sepulchre 
ofJeso-o.  The  secret  objects  proably  nevof 
transpired  beyond  the  eouocils  of  Charlemagne, 
bat  is  was  known  that  Isaac  returned  with 
presents  of  a  wonderful  nature  ft-ora  the  East. 
Among  the«e  was  an  enormous  elephant,  of 
such  importance  that  his  death  is  faithfully 
ohronieled  by  the  monkish  aunaliats  ;  apes,  a 
clock,  and  some  rich  robes,  donbtlecs  ef  silk. 
Isaao  aquitted  himself  with  such  ability,  ttiat 
he  was  intrusted  by  his  imperial  protector  with 
another  mission  to  the  same  quarter. — 


Prosporoos  Condition  of  tne  Jews 

UNOSR  OHABLBMAeKE. 


In  our  42d  nnaiber  p.  322,  we  had  occasion, 
to  allude  to  the  oonldenoe  placed  io  Jews  by 
Alezaoder  of  Macedonia,  by  Charlemagne, 
aad  other  capaciousjminds.  And  in  fact,  with 
few  exceptions,  we  always,  treughout  oar 
history,  found  relief  from  oppression,  under 
powerful,  great  potentates,  while  petty  rulers 
eonid  rarely  aflbrt  as  rest.  The  following  ao- 
count  from  Milman,  will  be  read  with  interest . 

To  the  flourishing  commerce  of  the  Israe- 
lites, the  extended  dominions  of  Charleo>agne 
opeaed  a  wide  field ;  firom  the  perts  of  Mar^ 
seillee  and  Narbonnes  their  vessels  kept  up  a 
eonatant  oommuDication  with  the  East.  In 
Narbaonca  they  were  so  flourishing,  that  of 
the  two  prefects  or  mayors  of  tbe  city,  one 
was  always  a  Jew ;  and  as  we  shall  see  pre- 
sently, the  most  regular  and  stately  part  of 
the  eityof  Lyons  was-  the  Jewish  quartei. 
The  superior  intelligence  and  edncation  of  the 
Jews,  ia  a  period  when  nobles  and  kings,  and 
eveo  the  clergy,  could  not  always  write  their 
namee,  pointed  them  out  for  offices  of  trnst. 
They  were  the  physicians,  the  ministers  of 
finance,  to  nobles  and  monarchs;  and  when 
Charlemagne,  either  with  some  secret  politieal 
design,  or  from  an  osteutatious  show  of  qiag- 
nifloence,  determined  on  sending  an^itabassa- 
dor  to  the  splendid  Caliph,  Haroon  ad  Raschid, 
Europe  and  Asia  beheld  the  extraordinary 
spectacle  ef  a  Jew,  named  Isaac,  setting  forth 
on  his   mission,  with   two  Christian  Counts, 

GjuoABions  Spidibs.  Upon  the  banks  of 
the  Amason,  spiders,  which  are  solitary  in 
Europe  and  Asia,  live  in  ooagregated  societiea 
of  seroml  tbooaands.     Taking  poeseisioo  of  a 


Human  Dkpravity.-   In  the  interoou« 
rse  of  our  life  we   more  often  please  by 
our  faults  than  our  good  qualities. 

"A  man's  errors  are  what  render  him 
amiable,'  says  Goethe,  in  the  last  *  num- 
ber of  his  Journal  of  Art,  that  is,  in  hia 
seventy-seventh  year  said  one  day  to  a 
girl  of  fourteen  ,'If  you  were  but  as  good 
as  your  brother.'  'Well,  she  replied,  with 
something  of  a  bashful  sullenness ,  'I  don't 
care,  you  would  not  be  so  fond  of  «»«  if 
I  was.'  This  coincidence  between  that  aged 
poet  and  the  child  just  emerging  from 
childhood — laugh  not  reader-Goethe  him- 
self would  be  delighted  to  be  told  of  it 
— might  suggest  many  reflections  on  the 
waywardness  of  the  heart,  and  the  per- 
verse nature  of  affection.  What  humilia 
ting  experience.  ,

Editor  Gubakir  :— It  is  with  great  plea- 
iare  to  me,  to  communicate  to  you  the  follow- 
ing : 

Parsaant  to  a  call  in  the  MafWville  Papers, 
many  of  our  co-religiooists  jresioug  at  this 
place,  aaaeabled  yesterday  in  the  r*oms  of  the 
M.  H.  Benevolent  Society,  and  ftrganised  a 
Congregation  by  tbe  name  of,  "Bnei  Beris" 
whose  principal  object  it  is,  to  maintain  our 
holy  Religion,  and  the  erection  of  a  Synagogue. 
The  laws  ruling  and  guiding  the  same,  have 
been  adopted,  and  the  following  officers  elect- 
ed :

As  the  number  of  ear  Co-religionists  at  this 
place,  is  rather  small,  consequently  we  are  not 
able  to  succeed  in  our  nndertaking  withoot 
assistance ;    therefore  Committee's  were  ap- 
pointed to  call  on  every  charitable  person  for 
aid,  without  distinction  of  creed,  as  we  adhere 
to  the  principles  of  the  Scripture,  "Have  we 
not  all  one  father  T    has  not  one  God  created 
usT"    Malachias  2, 10.      And  thus,  with  the 
guidance  of  God,  we  do  hope  and  wish,  that 
our  enterprise  will  be  crowned  with  success- 
Bespectfally  yours

S»rraa  OtaAiiaa:— In  aecordanee  with  your 
remark  in  yonr  editioa  of  Oct  IS  1867,  that 
the  wronga  done  by  our  govarn»ant  to  their 
Jewish  eitisena  in  the  Hwiea  treatv,  have  bean 
taken  ap  by  our  Eastern  Preas,  I  find  the  foN 
lowing  in  the  "Oooident"  of  September,  pag. 
296.  I 


•We  have  given  our  opinion  on  tbe  subject 
in  OUaner  48  p.  839.  We  are  glad  to  aee  that

aubjcct  with  becoming  dignity,  without  hav- 
ing  recourse  to  popular  clamor. — £d.  Oleantr. 

Gothenburg.  (Sweden)  Peace  and 
harmony  reigns  in  the  congregation  ;  the 
beneficence  of  ita  members  is  extended 
to  Jew  and  Gentile.  The  service  in  the 
synagogue  is  performed  partly  in  Heb- 
rew, partly  in  the  vernacular  ;  the  psalms 
and  hymns  are  chanted  in  Swedish,  under 
the  accompaniment  of  the  organ.  Even 
Gentile  visitors  feel  impressed  with  the 
service.  The  observance  of  the  Sabbath, 
becomei^  more  frequtnt ;  and  the  people 
experience  it  a"celight ;"  this  is  especially 
the  case  in  the  precincts  of  the  house, 
where  the  pious  sense  of  the  housewife 
allo^^s  not  the  spirit  of  worldliness  to 
encroach  on  that  day.  Dr.  WcJff,  for- 
merly Rabbi  of  Culm,  exerts  a  beneficial 
influence  in  the  uongregation,  who  in 
turn,  give  him  every  support. 

Glogau  [Silesia).  The  old  burial 
ground  of  the  congregation,  belonging  to 
the  territory  purchased  by  the  railroad- 
company,  the  bodies  had  to  be  removed 
to  a  new  plot  purchased  lately.  The 
translocation  and  the  expenses  were  de- 
frayed by  the  railroad-company.  The 
congregational  school  is  sparely  frequent- 
ed ;  and  the  children  that  do  visit  it,  are 
but  very  young. 

Austrla.  The  higher  courts  have  de- 
cided, that  Jews  are  not  allowed  to  be 
proprietors  of  Real  Estate.  The  Pesth- 
Ofen  Chamber  of  Trade  and  Commerce 
is  seriously  advocating  the  cause  in  favor 
of  the  Jews  on  religious  and  political 
grounds  aa  the  prohibition  must  lead  to 
a  depreciation  of  property,  and  because  it 
was  unchristian  ^j^Isjwuve  them  of  the 
privilege.  ^\ 


Popular  Poison.  When  pure  ardent  spi- 
rits are  taken  into  the  stomach,  they  cause  ir- 
ritation, which  is  evinced  by  warmth  and 
pain  experienced  in  that  organ  ;  and  next,  in- 
flammation  of  the  delicate  coats  of  this  part, 
and  sometimes  gangrenes.  They  act  in  tbe 
same  manner  as  poisons.  Besides  the  local 
injury  they  produce,  they  act  on  the  nerves  of 
the  stomach  which  run  to  the  brain,  and,  if 
taken  in  large  quantities,  cause  insensibility, 
stupor,  irregfular  convulsive  action,  difficulty 
of  breathing,  profound  ileep,  and  often  sadden 
death. — The  habitual  nse  of  ardent  spirits 
causes  a  slow  inflammation  of  the  stomach 
and  liver,  which  proceeds  steadily,  bat  is  often 
undiscovered,  till  too  late  for  relief.

HiasB.  In  the  duchy  of  Heeae  are 
about  aO  synagogues,  and  aa  My 
schogU  They,  howewer,  oontaillbuta 
small  number  of  members.  TheM  con- 
gregations know  to  appreciate  their  teach- 
ers, and  try  to  render  their  situationa  aa 
agreeable  as  possible.  Rabbi  Iiego$en, 
who,  as  among  other  denominations,  is 
the  'preaident  of  the  VorsUheramt  [com- 
mittee of  managment  of  the  synagogue 
of  the  duohv)  has  rendered  himself  men- 
torious  in  the  cause  of  education. 

According  to  law,  the  Kazan  is  subor- 
dinate under  the  Tvarness  (Trisn^er)  >  4^ 
howewer,  the  reader  is  at  tbe  same  time 
teacher,  which  is  raosUy  tU  case  in  the 
duchy,  he  is  amenable  only  to  the  Vor- 
steheramt.  By  this  regulation  many  un- 
pleasant collisions  are  avoided. 

As  to  temporal  affairs,  the  Jews  are 
tolerably  well  off;  and  with  regard  to 
religion,  they  belong  to  neither  extreem, 
which  to  those  who  know  our  state, 
means,  they  mind  their  business,  and  oare 
for  neither  progress,  nor  stablism. 

Prussia.  The  Prussian  law  does  not 
interfere  with  changes  of  confessions  (we 
carefully  avoid  the  aame  of  conversions 
which  is  too  oflen  misused.)  Lately  a 
couple  wasmarriedin  the  synagogue  of  Ovt- 
stdat,  of  which  the  bride  formerly  pro/wed 
Chriitianity. 

SiLMiA.  At  the  industrial  exhibiti<m 
of  Breslau,  the  Jewish  manufacture  fi- 
gured  prominently.

The  Wife. 
I  hare  often  had  occasion  ta  remarlt  tbe 
fortitude  with  which  woman 'sua tains  the  most 
OTercoming  reverses  of  fortune.  Those  dis- 
asters which  break  down  the  spirit  of  man, 
and  prostrate  him  iu  the  dust,  seem  to  call 
forth  all  the  energies  of  the  softer  sex,  and 
give  such  intrepidity  and  elevation  to  their 
character,  that  at  times  it  approaches  subli- 
mity. * 

Nothing  can  be  more  toachiiig  than  to  be- 
hold a  soft  and  tender  female,  who  had  been 
all  weakaese  and  dependence,  and  alive  tb  ev 
ery  trival  rooghnees  whil«  treading  the  pro*- 
perous  path  of  life,  saddeoly  rising  in  mental 
force  to  beaeomforter  and  supporter  of  her 
husband  under  misfortune,  and  abide  with  an- 
shrinking  firmness  the  most  bitter  blasts  of 
adversity. 

As  the  vine  which  has  long  twined  its 
graceful  foliage  around  the  oak^od  been  lifted 
by  It  into  sunshine,  will,  when  the  hardy  plant 
is  riven  by  the  thnudtrboU,  cling  around  it 
with  caressing  tendrils,  and  bind  up  its  shat- 
tered boughs  ;  80  it  is  beautifully  ordered  by 
Providence,  that  woman  who  is  the  mere  de- 
pendant and  ornament  of  man  in  his  happiest 
hours,  should  be  his  solace  when  smitten  by 
sodden  calamnity,  winding  herself  into  the 
ragged  recessea  of  his  nature,  tenderly  sup- 
porting the  drooaing  head,  and  binding  up  the 

broken  heart

Warning    ' 

(to   OHaORBN    AND    PARENTS.) 

Some  people  and  children  are  fond  of 
telling  sad  stories;  they  will  ba  glad  to 
pick  them  up  in  the  streets,  attheirneigh- 
bors,  and  at  school ;  and"  they  will  be  so 
full  of  them,  that  they  willtellthem  to  the 
first  person  they  meet-  And  telling  such 
sad  stories,  will  be  quite  a  treat  for  them. 
They  will  even  do  more  ;  they  will  add 
to  what  they  have  heard,  and  thus  tell  big 
atories.  My  dear  children,  you  must  not 
do  ao;  it  you  hear  of  some  sad  aflfair  that 
has  taken  place,  do  not  afflict  other  peo- 
ple, and  if  they  are  to  know  it,  you  need 
not  be  the   messenger  of  evil,  let  other 


people  do  it.  And  a«  to  telling  more 
than  is  true,  this  certainly  is  einftil,  very 
sinful.  "A  lying  tongue  is  an  abomina- 
tion into  the  Lord-,»'i8  written  in  the  book 

of  Proverb?. 

But  some  time  it  U  weU  fty  chadten 

to  tell  to  others  of  misfortimes  that  liave 
happened;  it  is,  when  they  do  so  to  warn 
their  young  friends  against  getting  like- 
wise  into  trouble;  and  this  I  am  going  to 
do  now.     I  shall  not  detain  you  long ;  be 
cause  I  do  nut  want  to  make  you  fed  sad. 
It  is  ft  sftd  affair   to  hear  of  a  lovely  girl 
leaving   her  home  for    school   well  and 
healthy;  and   then   playing  hastily   and 
merrily  during   recess;  and,   all  at  onoe, 
to  feel  the  ground   moving  beneath  her, 
and  to  sink  in  a  cold  well ,  to  be  covered 
with  mud,  planks,  and  to  have  to  be  taken 
out  almost  or  quite  dead—  That  such  has 
happened  since  I  wrote  for  you  last,  you 
well  know.      The  little  girl   played  on  a 
spot    where   there  was  a    oister*  under- 
neath^-  -It-was^covered,  but^not    Brm 
enough    to    bear   them,     it    gave  way, 
and  four  little  girls  went  dovm  with  the 
planks,   bricks  and  sand   into  the  water. 
Three    were  saved,    but  they    are  very 
.  m"^*'  hurt ;  but  tho  fourth,  thirteen  years 
old,  ended  her  earthly  existence  in  the 
well— she  was  the  only  child  of  a  widow- 
ed mother 

Beloved  children!  never  play  where 
you  may  get  into  trouble;  never  play  in 
the  middle  of  the  street,  never  near  ri- 
vers or  wells—  I  must,  at  the  same  time, 
warn  you  against  playing  with  dangerous 
implements,  as  pins,  needles,  knives, 
swords  and  pistols.  An  most  shocking 
accident  happened  lately  to  a  young  man 
who  levelled,  in  fun,  a  pistol  at  his  bride— 
Lastly,  avoid  playing  near  the  stove,  and 
keep  your  little  brothers  and  sisters  away 
from  the  fire  place.

animals  and  this  we  can  show  by  nobettw 
method  than  by  returning  thanlie  to  the 
giver  of  all  good,  by  saying  grace  before 
and  after  our  meals.  The  strict  observ- 
ance of  this  at  Uble  will  have  a  tendency 
to  produce  excellent  results.

While  Octavius  was  at  Samoa,  after  the 
famous  battle  of  Actium'  which  made 
him  master  of  the  world,  he  held  a  coun- 
cil, in  order  to  try  the  prisoners  who 
had  been  engaged  in  Antony's  party. 
Amoiig  the  rest  was  brought  before  him 
Metellus,»an  old  man  oppressed  with  m. 
firmitles  and  ill  fortune,  whose  son  sat 
as  one  of  the  judges.  At  fir8t»  the  son  did 
not  recognize  the  father.  At  length,  how- 
ever, having  recollected  ^is  features,  the 
generous  youth,  instead  of  being  ashamed 
to  own  him,  ran  to  embrace  the  old  man 
and  cried  bitterly.  Then  returning  towa- 
rds the  tribunal,  "Coesar,"  said  he  "My 
father  has  been  your  enemy,  and  I  your 
officer;  he  deserves  to  be  punished,  and  I 
to  be  rewarded.  The  favor  I  desire  of  you 
is,  either  to  save  him  on  my  account^  or 
ordeiime  to  be  put  to  death  with  him. 
As  was  to  be  expected,  all  the  judge* 
were  touchad  with  pity  at  this  affecting 
scene;  and  Octavins  himseli;  relenting, 
granted    to    old   Metellus  his  life     and 

liberty.

A  Warning. 


Table  Msnnera. 

Avoid  all  display  of  greediness.  JJo 
not  take  large  mouthful  s  but  eat  slowly. 
It  was  formerly  esteemed  a  matter  of 
propriety  for  each  individual  to  delay  the 
commencement  of  his  meal  till  all 
were  helped  ;  but  as  this  introduces  astiff 
formality,  and  moreover  causes  the  food 
to  get  cold  before  it  is  eaten,  it  is  now 
considered  proper  for  a  person  to  begin 
to  eat  not  the  instant  he  is  helped  still  as 
soon  as  good  sense  telle  that  he  will  not 
finish  before  others  are  half  through. 
Avoid  putting  food  into  your  mouth  with 
your  knife:  It  is  very  rude  to  make  a  sho 
vel  of  your  knife,and  help  yourself  to  salt 
only  with  the  salt-spoon.  Eat  with  the 
least  possible  nOise  of  the  lip  and  teeth. 
Some  children  eat  with  a  noise  as  if  they 
M-ere  so  fond  of  their  food  as  to  kiss,  it; 
they  smack  in  eating:  such  eaters  are  ve- 
ry unpleasent  neighbors  Never  help  your 
self  from  any  dish  with  your  own  knife 
and  fork,  but  apply  to  the  person  who  is  ne- 
ar it,  or  whoundertakes  to  distribute  its  con- 
tents. If  you  are  called  upon  io  help  any 
person,  never  disgust  him  by  overloading 
his  plate.  If  asked  to  take  wine  you  may 
decline,  saying,  "I'll  thank  you  to  excuse 
me,"  or  you  may  aak  to  be  permitted  to 
take  water  instead  of  wine.  Awkward 
positions,  restlessness'  picking  ofthe  teeth, 
absence  of  mind,  inattention  to  the  re- 
marks or  wants  of  those  around  you,  are 
gross  breaches  of  good  manners.  Before 
coming  to  the  table,  take  care  that  your 
toilet  is  finished.  There  is  no  disgrace  in 
a  good  appetite;  but  even  in  satisfying  it, 
we  should  habitually  cultivate  an  air  and 
manner  which'  may  assert  the  dignity  of 
human  nature,  and  discnminate  between 
intellectual  and  moral  beings  and   mere 


In  the  Rue  de  la  Harpe,  at  Paris,  which  is  a 
long  dismal  ancient  street  in  the  fauxbourg  of 
St.  Marcell,  is  a  space  or  gap  in  the  line  of 
building,  upon  which  formerly  stood  two  dwell- 
ing-houses instead  of  which  now  stands  a  mel- 
ancholly  memorial,  signifying,  that  upon  this 
gpot  no  human  habitation  shall  ever  be  erect- 
ed, no  human  being  ever  must  reside. 

Curiosity  will  of  course  be  greatly  excited 
to  ascertain  what  it  was  that  rdndered  this  de- 
voted spot  eo  obnoxious  to  humanity,  and  yet 
so  interesting  to  history. 

Two  attached  and  opulent  neighbors,  resi- 
ding in  some  provinoe,  not  very  remote  from 
the  French  capetal,  having  occasion  to  go  to 
town  on  certain  money  transactions,  agreed  to 
travel  thence  and  to  return  together,  which 
was  to  be  done  with  aa  much  expedition  as 
■possible.  They  weae,  I  believe,  on  foot,  a 
Tery  common  way  even  at  present,  for  persons 
of  much  reepectabilit  to  travel  in  France,  and 
were  attended,  as  most  pedestrians  are,  by  a 
foithful  dog. 

Upon  their  arrival  ht  the  Rue  de  \a  Harpe, 
they  stepped  into  the  shop  of  a  peruquier  to 
be  shaved,  before  they  would  proceed  on  their 
basinese,  or  enter  into  the  more  fiashionable 
streets.  So  limited  was  their  time,  and  so 
peremptory  was  their  return,  thah  the  first 
man  who  was  shaved,  proposed  to  his  com- 
panion, that  while  he  was  undergoing  the 
operation  of  the  razor,  he  who  was  already 
ahom  wouU  run  to  exeoute  a  small  commission 
in  the  neighbourhood,  promising  that  he  would 
be  hack  before  the  other  was  ready  to  move. 
For  this  purpose  he  left  the  shop  door  of  the 
barber. 

Nn  returning,  to  his  great  surprise  and  vex- 
ation, he  was  informed  that  his  friend  was  gone 
but  as  the  dog,  which  was  the  dog  of  the  ab- 
atttee,  was  sitting  outside  the  door,  the  other 
presumed  he  was  only  gone  aut  for  a  moment, 
perhaps  In  pursuit  of  him ;  so,  expecting  him 
back  every  moment,  he  chatted  to  the  barber 
whilst  be  watched  his  retam. 

Snnh  a  considerable  time  elapsed,  that  the 
stranger  now  became  quite  impatient ;  he 
wait  in  and  oat,  up  and  down  the  street :  still 


1  the  dog  rmBi^  rtaUeorf  at  the  door.  "D^ 
he  l«Je  ne  messag.  V  «  No ,"  alUhe  barber 
knew  was,  "  that  when  hflwms  Aaved  he  went 
away."    "  It  was  very  odd," 

The  dog  remaining  htatiooed  at  the  door 
was  to  the  traveUer  oodoh^ive  evideoce  that 
his^aster  was  not  far  off;  he  went  m^ 
out,  aad  up  and  down  the  otroct  *ga™- 
DO  sign  of  him  whatever. 

Impatience  now  became  al*™'  *^!^ 
gympaihetic.  Nbe  poor  animal  exhibited 
^iarks  of  restlessaese  in  yefps  and  hOwlings, 
which  80  affected  the  sensibility  of  the  strana 
«r  that  he  threw  out  some  insinuations  not 
much  to  the  credit  of  Monsieur,  an  altercation 
ensued,  and  the  traveller  was  indignantly  or» 
dered  by  the  peruquier  to  quit  his  boutique. 

Upon  quitting  the  shop  he  fbund  it  imposst. 
bleto  remove  the  dog  from  the  d<K>r.  No 
whistling,  no  calling,  no  patting  would  do,  stir 

he  would  not. 

In  bis  agony  this  afflicted  roan  raised  a  crowd 
abont  the  door,  to  whom  he  told  his  lament 
table  story.  The  dog  became  an  object  of  umi 
versal  interest,  and  of  close  attention.  He 
shivered  and  howled,  but  no  "e^"*^'*"'  °« 
caressing,  no  experiment,  could  make  hhn  de. 

aert  his  post. 

By  some  of  tie  populace  it  was  proposed  to 
gend  for  the  police,  others  proposed  a  remedy 
more  summary,  namely,  to  force  in  and  search 
the  house,  which  was  immediately  done.  The 
crowd  b«r^  in,  every  apartment  wm  searched , 
but  in  vain.    There  was  no  trace  whatever  of 

%rnrS?."«vestigation,  the  do.  stHl  r. 
ma'red  Pentinel  at  the  shop  door,  which  was 
bolted  within  to  keep  out  the  crowd,  which 
was  immense  outside. 

After  fruitless  search  and  much  altercation 
the  barber,  who  had  prevailed  upon  those  who 
had  forced  in  to  quit  his  house,  came  to  the 
door  and  was  haranguing  the  populace,  decla- 
most  solemnly  his  innocence,  when  the  dog 
suddenly  sprang  upon  him,  and  flew  at  hu 
throat  with  such  a  terrific  exasperation,  that 
hia  victim  fainted,  and  was  with  the  gr«it«t 
difficulty  rescued  fr^  being  torn  to  p'^. 

The  dog  peemed  in  a  state  of  iatdlectual 

agony  and  fnry.  ,  . 

It  was  now  proposed  to  give  the  »n»'n«^  hM 
way.to  s^e  what  coarse  he  would  pursue.  The 
moment  he  was  left  loose  he  flew  through  the 
shop,  and  dartad  down  stairs  into  a  dark 
cellar  .where  he  set  up  the  most  dismal  lamenta 

tion.  ,. 

Lights  being  procured,  an  apertmre  was  dis- 
covered in  the  wall  communicating  to  the  next 
house,  which  was  immediately  surrounded,  and 
in  the  cellar  whereof  was  found  the  body  of 
the  unfortunate  man  who  had  been  missing.. 
The  person  who  kept  thU  shop  was  a  patiws 
ere,  or  pastry-cook. 

It  is  unnecessary  to  say  those  miscreants 
were  brought  to  trial  and  executed.  The  facts 
that  appeared  upon  that  trial,  and  afterwards 
upon  confession,  wei%  these  :  — 

Those  incautious  travellers,  whilst  in  the 
shop  of  this  fiend  unhappily  talked  of  the  money 
they  had  about  them,  ai^  the  wreteh  who  was 
a  robber  and  a  murder  by  profession,  as  soon 
as  the  one  turned  his  back,drew  his  razor  across 
the  throat  of  the  other  and  plunder  him. 

The  remainder  of  the  story  is  almost  too 
horrible  for  human  ears,  but  is  not  upon  that 
account  the  lees  credible. 

This  case  being  of  so  terrific  a  nature,  it  wa- 
made  part  of  the  sentence  of  the  law,  that  be. 
sides  the  execution  of  thoee  monsters  npofl 
the  rack,  the  houses  in  which  they  lived,  and 
in  which  these  infernal  deeds  wera  perpetrated, 
should  be  pulled  down,  and  that  the  spet  on 
which  they  stood  should  be  marked  out  to  po- 
sterity with  horror  and  with  execration.

Wonders  of  Science. 


It  is  not  certainly  known  when  or  by 
^hom  the  microscope  was  invented.     On 
he  one  hand,  we  are  told  that  one  Dre- 
Dcll,  a  Dutchman,   had  the   first  micro- 
icope  in  the  year  1621,   and  that  he  was 
[■eported  to  have  been  the  inventor  of  the 
nstrument.      On  the  other  hand,  the  in- 
|fention  is  claimed   by  Francis  Fontana, 
Neapolitan,  in  1646,  who  dates  it  from 
Ihe  year  1618.     Thus  far,  however,  ap- 
prs  to  have  been  distinctly  ascertained, 
hat  they    were    first   used  in  Germany 
kboutthe  year  1621.      The  telescope  is 
generally  believed  to  have  been  invented 
I  the  year  1590;  and,  as   a  microscope 
I  ouly  a  telescope   inverted,  the  inven- 
(onof  the  one  may  be   readily  believed 
)  have  originated  in  the  use  of  the  other. 
It  may,  perhaps,  be  a  matter  of  doubt 
^hich  of  these  instruments  has  introduc- 
the  most  wonderful   f^cts  to  our  no- 
Ice,    If  the  telescope  has     made   us  ac- 
quainted with  vast  bodies  which  we  had 
bot  previously  conceived   to  exist,   and 
pis  unmeasurably  extended  our  concep- 
I'oiis  of  the  vastuess  of  the  universe,  and 
m  power  of  its  Creator,  it  is  no  less  true 
Jhat  the  microscope,  though  perhaps  with 
|t«s  imposing  pretensions,   has  laid  open 
►'J  us  most  unexpected  revelations  of  the 
"isdom,  the  power,   and  the  providence 
pi  the  Almighty,  by  disct>vering  to  us  in- 
Puincrahle    orders    of  living  beings,  en- 
dowed   with    numerous   capacities,  and 
provided   with    ample  means    ofenjoy- 

An  example  which  partially  illustrates 
phis  last   remark    is  supplied    in  the  en- 


(NaturalSite  of  a  Drop.) 
A  DROP  OF  WATER  MAGNIFIED. 


graving  prefixed  to  this  article,  which  re- 
presents a  single  drop  of  water  as  it  ap- 
pears through  a  microscope,  peopled  with 
various  species  of  minute  animals  called 
animalcules,  of  the  habits  of  some  of 
which  we  propose  to  give  a  brief  account. 
It  may  be  observed  in  general  of  the 
microscopic  orders  of  animals,  that  the 
smallest  which  have  ever  come  under 
notice  have  been  discovered  in  water, 
not  that  we  may  infer  from  this  that 
there  are  not  creatures  of  equally  dimi- 
nutive size  inhabiting  the  air,  or  creeping 
upon  the  earth :  the  reason  is  simply 
that,  from  the  transparency  of  the  water 
and  from  its  confining  the  creatures  in  it, 
we  can  more  easily  bring  the  assistance 
ofthe  microscope  to  bear  on  the  exami- 
nation of  them.       Of  these,  indeed  of  all 


animated  beings,  the  monas  is  the  most 
simple.  The  termo  is  the  most  minute 
creature  of  this  genus,  being  so  extremely 
delicate  and  transparent  as  often  to  elude 
the  highest  magnifying  powers,  and  seem- 
ing to  blend  with  the  water  in  which  it 
swims.  Another  and  very  minute  class 
of  animalcules  is  that  which  has  been 
t«rmed  by  Mr.  Baker  the  hair-like  insect, 
on  account  of  its  shape,  being  extremely 
slender,  and  frequently  a  hundred  and 
fifly  times  as  long  as  it  is  broad.  These 
creatures  are  so  small,  that  millions  of 
millions  of  them  might  be  contained  in 
thd  Space  of  a  square  inch.  Yet  low  in 
tb|scalc  of  being  asi  they  may  appear 
fr^  stand,  owing  both  to  their  extreme 
minuteness  and  the  simplicity  of  their 
structure,  even  these,    in  common  with 


those    orders  of    iiifi'rior    aiiiniuls   with 
which  wo  are  more  ordinarily  convorsant 
txiiihit  iiulicatioiis  of  saffacity,  and  ofthe 
formation  of  habits.      They  swiu,  for  ex- 
ample,  to  be  fond    of  society;    for,  iifVer 
viewing  tor  sometime  aquantity  of  them 
taken   up    at  random,   the  observer  will 
sen    thorn    disposingr   themselves  into  a 
kind  of  regular  order.        If  a  inultltii<lci  of 
thein  are  put  into  a  jar  of  water,  they  will 
form  themselves  into  a  regular  body,  and 
ascend    slowly   to   the  top.      Wheiitli.  y 
are   weary    of  this    situation     they  I'oim 
themselves    into  u  kind    of  rope,   which 
sh)wly    descends    as  low   as  they  iiiteinl ; 
but  if  they  happen    to  be  near  the  side  of 
the  Jar,   they   will   desceiul    ujiou  it.     In 
Olio  experiment,  a  small  (piantity  of  mat- 
ter, containing  these    animalcules,  iiaviiig 
been    put  into   ajar    of  water,    it  so  hap- 
pened that  one  part  went   down  imiiicdi- 
ately  to  the  bottom,  while  the  other  eoii- 
tiniied  floating  at  the  top.       When  thiiij-s 
had  remained  for  some    time  iu  this  con- 
ditioii,  each  of  these  swarms    ofmiimu!. 
cules    began    to  grow  weary  of  its  situa- 
tion, and  appeared  disj)osed  to  change  it. 
Both    armies,    therefore,    set  out  at  the 
same  time,  the  one  proceeding  upwards, 
and  the    other  downwards,    so  that  after 
some  hours'    jouniey,     they     mot  in  the 
middle.        A  desire  of  kn«)wiiig  how  they 
Would    behave  on   this    occasion  engiiued 
the   observer  to   watch    them  careful ly, 
and  to  his  surprize,  he  saw  the  army  th.it 
was  marching  uy  wards  open  to  the  right 
and  left    to    make    room    for  those  thai 
were  descending.     Thus,  without  coiifii- 
sion   or  intermixture,    each  held   on  his 
way  ;  the  army  that  was  going  up  march- 
ing in  two   columns  to    the  top,   and  the 
other    descending    in  one  column  to  the 
bottom,  as  if  each  had  been  under  the  di- 
rection of  intelligent  leaders. 

Another   very  singular  animal,  whoso 
existence  and  habits  have  been  discovered 
by  the   microscope,    bas  been    dignifie<I 
with  the   name  of  the   Proteus,  from  its 
assuming  so  great  a  variety   of  shapes  as 
scarcely    to   be  recognised    as  the  same 
animal    in  its    diflTcrent    transformations. 
Its  general  .shape  bears  a  considerable  re- 
semblance   to  that    of  the.  swan,  and  its 
chBneos  are  chiefly   eflect<!d  by   it«  no^sk, 
which  it  sometimes  cxtend«  t(j  a  W)n9ider 
able  length,  and  sometimes  disposes  of  it 
altogether.       It  also  appears  to  have  the 
power  of  increasing   its   tranHpareney  or 
opaqueness  at  will.       Tliere  arc  no  eyes, 
nor    any    opening    in    the    ht«id   like  a 
mouth,  to  bo   discerned ;  but  its  actions 
clearly  prove  thatit  possesses  the  faculty 
of  vision;  for  though  multitudes  of  other- 
aniinalcules    swim   about  with    it  in  the 
same  water,  and  its  own  progressive  mo- 
tion is    very   swift,    yet  it  never    strikes 
against  any  of  them,  but  directs  it«  wjurse 
betwcon  them  with  astonishing  dcxti^rity.

the  paper  is  to  be  devoted  to  the  interests  of

very    correct  one,    too,   that  much  learning 
without  system— studying  too  many  branches

this  heading,  especially,  are  characteriied  by

Uses  of  Tobacco. 


\m 


We  give  below  a  few  extracts  for  the  bene- 
fit of  tobacco  chewers.  They  are  worth  read- 
ing, and  then  pondering  upon.  They  are  made 
by  Fontana,  a  difllinguished  chemist.  He  says : 

1.  I  made  a  small  incision  in  a  pigeon's  leg, 
and  applied  to  it  the  oil  of  tobacco ;  in  less 
than  two  minutes  it  lost  the  use  of  its  foot. 

2.  1  repeated  this  experiment  on  another, 
and  the  result  was  exactly  the  same. 

3.  I  made  a  small  wound  in  the  pectoral 
muscles  of  a  pigeon,  and  applied  the  oil  of  it ; 
in  three  minutes  it  could  no  longer  support  it- 
self on  its  left  foot. 

4.  This  experiment  repeated  on  another,  re- 
sulted the  same  way. 

5  I  introduced  into  the  pectoral  muscle  of 
a  pigeon  a  small  bit  of  wood  covered  with  this 
oil ;  in  a  few  seconds  it  fell  insensible. 

6.  Two  others,  to  whose  musdes  I  applied 
this  oil,  vomited  all  they  had  eaten. 

7.  Two  others  with  empty  atomachs,  treat- 
ed as  above,  mode  all  possible  efforts  to  vomit. 

One  single  drop  of  this  tobacco  oil,  put  up- 
on th«  tongue  of  a  cat,  has  produced  violent 
convulsions,  and  killed  b«r  in  the  space  of  one 

minute. 

A  thread  dipped  in  the  oil  and  drawn 
through  a  fresh  wound  of  a  cat,  dog,  or  any 
other  animal  of  their  seize,  will  kill  it  in  seven 
minutes. 

The  above  facts  almost  startle  a  person, 
when  we  think  how  many  are  in  the  habit  of 
chewing  and  smoking. — Indiana  Free  Demo-

Interesting    Statistics. 
A  gentleman  claiming  to  be  a  -friend  of  the 
human  race. "  and  who  keeps  the  run  of  facte, 
figures,  and  babies,  has  just  laid  before  "an  in- 
quiring world"  the  following  statistics  : 

"The  whole  number  of  languages  spoken  in 
the  worid  amounts  to  3,064  :  578  in   Europe, 
936   in   Asia,  276   in    Africa,  and  1,264  in 
America.    The  inhabitants  of  our  globe  pro- 
fess more  than  1,000  different  religions.    The 
number  of  men  is  about  equal  to  the  number 
of  women.    The  aTerage  of  human  life  is  about 
33  years.    One  quarter  part  die  before  the  age 
of  7  years;    andjone  half  before  reaching   17 
years  of  age,  and  those  who  pass  this  age  enjoy 
a  felicity  refused  to  one  half  the  humar  species. 
To  every  10,000  persons,  only  one  reaches  100 
years  of  life  ;  to  every  100,  only  six  reach  66 
years,  and  not  more  than  one  in5,000  lives  to 
80  years  of  age.    There  are  on  the  earth  1 ,000, 
000,000  inhabitants,  and  of  these  33,333,333 
die  every  year,  91,324  every  day,  3,730  every 
hour,  60  every  minute,  or  one  every  second. 
These  losses  are  about  balanced  by  the  equal 
number  of  births.    The  married  are  longer 
lived  than  the  single,  and,  above  all,  those  who 
observe  a  sober  and  industrious  conduct    Tall 
men  live  longer  than  short  ones.     Women 
have  more  chances  of  Uf*i  in  their  favor  previous 
to  being  50  years  of  age  than  men  have,   but 
fewer  afterward.    The  number  of  marriages  is 
in  proportion  of  175  to  every  1,000  individuals. 
1  Marriages  are  more  frequent  after  the  equinox- 
es ;  thAt  is,  during  the  months  of  June  and 
December.    Those  born  in  the  spring  are  gen- 
erally more  robust  than  others.    Births  and 
deaths  are  more  freqient  .by  night  than  day 
The  number  of  men  capable  of  bearing  arms  is 
calculated  at  one  fourth  of  the  population.<^

it  is  spread.  There  is  no  real  use  of  riches

Election  Riots  at  Baltimobb.— An  elec  - 
tion  had  taken  place  in    Baltimore  for  mem- 
bers of  the  City  Council,  which  was  character- 
ised by  scenes  of  bloodshed  and  brutality.    In

elevating  the  masses,  neither  Moses,  Elijah, 
Isaiah,  Jesus  and  the  Apostles,  nor  Socrates, 
Aristides,  Wickliff,  Huss  or  Luther,  could  do 
it—Moet  of  those  who  tried  to  elevate,  had 
to  pay  their  attempts  with  their  lives.    The 
rabble  will  bear  nothing  superior  to  themselTCB, 
—they  revile,  persecute,  and  trample  it  under 
foot— Beware  of  Mobocracy.

Spiritual  Liquors. 
In  the  Acta  Medica  et  Philosophica  Haff 
niensia,  published  by  Thomas  Bartholin, 
1673,  a  curious  accident  is  related  in  these 
words :— "A  poor  women  at  Paris  used  to 
drink  spirit  of  wine  plentifully  for  the  space 
(rf  three  years,  so  as  to  take  nothing  else. 
Her  body  contracted  such  a  combustible  dis- 
position, that  one  night  she,  lying  down  on  a 
straw  couch,  was  all  burned  to  ashes  and 
Bmoke,  except  theskuU  and  the  extremeties  of 
her  fingers. 

John  Henry   Cohauaen  relates,  that  a  1  o- 
lish  gentleman,  in  the  time  of  the  Queen  Bo- 
na Sforza,  having  drank   two  dishes  of  a  li- 
quor called  brandy-wine,  vomited  flames,  and 
was  burnt  by  them.     The  narrator's  opinion 
is.  that  the  fire  was  caused   in  the  entraila  ©f 
the  body  by  inflamed  effluvia  of  his  blood,  by 
juices  and  fermentations  in  the  stomach,  by 
the  many  combustible  matters  which  are  abun- 
dant  in  living  bodies  for  the  uses  of  life  ;  and 
finally,  by  the  fiery  evaporations  which  exhale 
from  the  settlings  of  spirit  of  wine,  brandies, 
and  other  hard  liquors,  in  the  tunica  villosa 
of  the  stomach,  and  other  adipose  or  fat  mem- 
branes,  within  which,  as  chemisU  observe, 
those   spirits   engender   a  kind  of  camphor ; 
which,  in  the  night-time,  in  sleep,  by  a  full 
breathing  and  respiration,  are  put  in  a  stronger 
motion,  and,  consequently,  more  apt  to  be  set 
on  fire.

How  far  does  the   Influence  ofPathetism 
extend  ? 


That  sickness  is  communicative,  no 
man  doubts ;  for  we  all  know  of  infectious 
diseases  which  are  communicated  trom 
the  diseased  to  the  healthy  by  contact, 
this  is  effected  by  the  absorption  or  mhaU 
ation  of  the  infurious  effluvia  from  the  sick, 
bv  theheAllhy,  these  being  taken  into 
the  system  wilt,  like  the  poison  of  the 
serpent  spread  and  infect  the  whole  sys- 
tem. 

But  that  health  is  likewise  commumca- 
tive,  may  not  be  so  generally   known. 
Yet  all  medical  men  know   that  by  being 
surrounded   by     young,   vigorous     and 
healthy  persons,  scale  of  our  health  is  con- 
siflerablv  mcreased,  and  that  we  actually 
"  inhale  health :  this  fact  was  well   knoWn 
to  the  ancients  as   early  as  the  timed 
David;  (and,  since  the  sacred  text  intro- 
duces the  case  without  any  comment,  it 
shows  that  it  was  a  well  known  fact,  nei- 
ther was  this  phenomenon  a  secret  to  the 
ancient  Romans,  Hufeland  in  his  Macro- 
brotic,  art  of  prolonging  Life  a  valuable, 
book  translated  into  English  some  four 
years  ago,)  copies  a  tombstone  of  a  Ro- 
Lm  achooUnaster,  on  whichhis  longevity 
is  ascribed  to  his  having,  for   a  sereies  ot 
years  durmg  which  he  taught,  been   sur- 
rounded  by  the    emanations  of  healthy 
Younc  girls.     Nor  was  the  secret  forgot 
ten  during  the  middle  ages,  which  appears 
from  Friw-Bac^s  Cifre  ot  Old  Age.

We  shall,  in  the  sequal,  give  facts  which 
we  have  to  advance  in  favours  of  opm- 
icns:  and  to  prepare  the  mind  ot  our 
readers,  we  subjoin  the  following  antici- 
patory account  from  Partridge  and  Brit- 
tan's  Library, 

We  learn  (says  the  Memphis  Whig)  from  a 
reliableosource,  that  as  a  married  couple  were 
traveling  on  a  steamboat  bound  from  Naw 
Orleans  to  an  up  stream'port,  the  man  sicken- 
ed and  died.    When  the  boat  touched  at  Mem- 
phis, the  bereaved    widow  landed   with  the 
corpse ;  an  undertaker  was  sent  for,  who  came 
and  took  the  measure  for  a  cofiin .    The  coffin 
was  prepared,  the  body  deposited  therein,  and 
all  was  in  readiness  to  take  the  mortol  remains 
of  that  de»r  husband  to  their  final  resting- 
place.    The  lady,  with  all  the  fond  affection 
and  deep  love  of  a  wife,  begged  the  privilege 
of  taking  one  more  look-one  parting  kiss- 
on  him  who  was  more  dear  to  her  than  all 
others  upon  earth.    The  lid  was  taken  ofl^^  and 
as  she  laid  upon  that  cold,  icy  brow  bathing 
it  in  tears,  and  smothering  those  cold  lios  with 
warm  kisses,  a  sort  of  consciousness  and  symp 
Sms  of  life  became  apparent;    t^e  b^y  was 
token  from  the  coffin,  and  a  physician  sent  for 
Our  tele  is  soon  told.    The  man  soon  became 
convalescent,  and  but  a  few  ^^7"  «'°««.  ^J^ 
happy  couple  took  passage  from  Menaphis  on 
an  uLtrekm  boat,  and  are  en  route  for  their 
place  of  destination.    But  for  that  fond.loving 
wife,  the  husband  might  now  be  lying  in  a  cold

OBITUARY. 
At  a  general   Meeting  of  the    GrassV alley 
Hebrew  Society.    "Shaar  Zedeok"  beW  Nov.  9. 
1867.  the  following  preambles  and  resolutions 
were  adupted : 

Whereas  it  has  pleased  the  Almighty  to 
summon  before  his  high  Tribunal  one  of  the 
members  of  the  Society  "Sbaar  Zedeck"  A 
Dannenberg.  who  was  a  passentter  of  the  lU- 
fated  Steamer  "Canlral  AmerUa'  when  »he

September  last,  and  we  feel  the  highest  re- 
spect forh's  many  social  and  religious  virtues 
which  enobled  and  made  him  universally  be- 
loved, esteemed  and  respected  by  all—  there- 
fore be  It 

Resolved :  That  thi.  society  has  lost  in 
him  a  true  and  devoted  member,  and  whose 
demise  has  filled  our  hearts  with  grief  and 
sorrow — 

Resolved:  That  we  deeply  sympathise 
with  his  brother  and  other  relatives;  that  our 
hands  and  hearts  will  always  be  ready  to  afs 
tord  them  that  con«ol«t»<m  wki«b   mfia  can

Resolved  :  That  out  of  respect  to  the  de-

Gleaner  of  San  Francisco. 

A.  Bandert,  Pretident. 

J.  Mark*,  Secretary. 


Tu!«T9.— The  Chara  (court)  that  committed 
judical  murder  by  the  execution  of  the  man 
who  uttered  blasphemy  against  the  prophet, 
has  been  dissolved  by  the  Bey  ;  the  instiga^ 
tors  of  the  disturbance  have  been  sent  to  the 
ga'leys,  and  an  pecuniary  indemnity  granted 
to  the  family  of  the  victim.  According  to  the 
latest  news,  me  learn  that  the  Europian  pow- 
ers were  not  satisfied  with  these  measures, 
wanting  securities  against  similar  reourrance 
in  future; 

PxBSiA.—  According  to  report,  we  learn, 
that  the  Shah  intends  to  grant  equal  rights  to 
all  denominations. 

Auotralia.— According  to  a  letter  from  there 
to  the  Jewish  Chronicle  of  London,  there  is 
a  want  of  young  women  among  the  Jewish 
community  there.  A  few  thousand  young  men, 
able  to  support  a  family,  must  continue  single 
from  want  of  young  women.  There  exist 
(what,  in  our  days  are  called)  congregations  at 
Melbourne,  Orelong,  Ballarat  and  Bendigo. 
And  soon  we  may  expect  some  at  Margborough 
and  Portland,  and  also  at  Adelaide,  Maitland 
and  Qoulburn. 


Wklls  Faroo  *  Co.  have  experienced  th, 
benefit  ot  the  precautions  in  providing  full  in- 
surance 90  London  companies.  They  have 
continued  to  pay,  and  in  gold,  when  required 
all  demands,  notwithstending  the  many  marine 

and  bank  losses. 

TKADBin  a  number  of  eastern  cities  was 
universally  suspended,  and  the  whole  blame 
particularly  in  Connecticut  and  Massachusetts 
was  thrown  upon  the  extravagance  of  New- 
York  business  men. 

HuNDRiDS  and  thousands  of  workmen  were 
being  thrown  out  of  employment  at  an  incle- 
ment  waaonoftheyear,  and  much  suffering 
was  apprehended.  Buildings  commenced  are 
allowed  to  continue  unfinished.  There  are  no 
less  than  twenty  fire  thousand  teilors  and 
gcamstresse.  out  of  employment. 


FlUNCfc— The  emperor  and  the  empress  have 
•ent  handsome  presento  for  the  lottery  which 
the  tonaistory  of  Algiers  is  setting  on  foot 
on  behalf  of  the  Israelitish  charities  and 
schools. 

SARniNiA. — The  Jewish  emanoipatien  is  pro- 
ducing its  fruiU.  The  "Educatore  Israelita" 
enumerates  several  .Tews  who  have  lately  ta- 
ken high  degrees,  and  are  betaking  themselves 
to  the  oarreers  of  literature  and  science. 

Paris.— M.  Ph.  Anspach,  counsellor  at  the 
court  of  appeals  at  Paris,  and  member  of  the 
central  consistory  has  been  created  knight  of 
the  legion  of  honor. 

PoLAKD.— According  to  the  latest  sUtistics 
of  Poland,  there  were  in  that  kingdom,  in  1855 
666,877  Jews,  and  2.489  baptised  Jews.  The 
population  ofWarshau  consisU  of  169,072

jKBr8ALEM.-Mr.Joseph Haliva  son  of 
the  late  Rev.A  Haliva    wishes,    through 
cur  columns,  to  warn  the  ccmmumty  and 
esnecialy  our  Australian  brethern,  against 
the  pracHcc  of  sending  theia  charitable  cx,n- 
tributious   t*.   the    Holy   Land    through 
messengers.   He  urges  that  such   c/>l lect- 
ions are  often  undertaken  for  the  benetitol 
some  single  congregation,  that  only   very 
small  portions  of  such   collections   reach 
their  destination,  and  that  the  objects   of 
the   charitable    donors  would   be   much 
more  effectively  obtained  if  they  were  to 
send  their  contributions  to    the   old  and 
tried  friend  of  the  Holy  Land,  Sir  Moses 
Montefiore,  or  the  Rbv  S.M.  Isaw.

A   Deserved  and  EflTectual  Reproof. 

In  the  inlrodnetion  to  Mrs.  Taylors 
Practieal  Hints  to  yotnifr  females,  is  rela- 
ted this  interesting  aneedote  : — "Some 
yeara  ago,  a  lady,  who  went  with  a  party 


to  the    British    Mnseiim,  expressed  con- 
tempt   and  dissatisfiietion  at  every    thing 
she  saw ;   [irotestod  that  it  was  loss  of  time 
to  eontimie,  and   iirgi-d  the    eompany   to 
hasten  their  departure.      At  length  'thev 
politely  thanked  tlie  g*ntlem.in  in  atten- 
danee,  Hud  were  aliout  to  withdraw,  when 
ho    di'tainetl   them  by  the  following    ad- 
dress   to  tluir    fastidious  eoinpanion  :  — 
'•VVlun    1  first,  saw    you,   madam,  1  was 
struek  with  your    beauty  and  interesting 
appearaiiee  ;  but  you  soon  gave  Jiie  occa- 
sion to  alter  my  opinion  :   I  pity  the  man 
that  marries  you,  if  any  one    ever  will  ; 
eeitaiiily  I  woiiM  not;    and  I  f.-ar  fWryou 
unless  .some  alteration  take  place  in  yonr 
taste,    nianniMs,  and    habits.       Mada^n,  I 
wish  yon  . a  good   morning;"     Many  years 
after,   the  sanie  geiitleman   waited  "uj)on 
another  company  at  the  museum  :  when 
they  took   their  leave,  and    thanked    him 
for  Ills  polite  attenti<jns,   a  lady  stepjied 
forward,  mid  e.xj.ressed  her  gratitude  in  a 
manner   more    lively    than    the   ocAasion 
seemed  to  re<juiiie.    *The  gentleman,  lath- 
er surprised,  professe<l  himself   happy  in 
having  c^nifributed   to    her   amusement. 
'Sir  Slid  she,  'my  obligations  to  yon   tar 
excotd  those  which    you  have    conferred 
this  morning-'     She  then   recalled   to  his

ed, 'I  am  that  lady  ;    and  to  you  I  am  in-

Importance  of  Self-knowledge 

Take  good  care  to  know  yourself,  little 
friend.  Such  knowledge  will  be  useful  to 
you,  in  a  great  many  ways.  It  would  be  a 
groat  pity  that  every  body  you  kecj^  com- 
pany with  should  be  acquainted  with  you 
at  the  same  time  you  know  almost  nothing 
about  yourself.  We  may  be  as  blind  as  a 
bat  to  our  own  fiiults,  but  other  people 
will  find  th«ii  out,  depend  upon  it;  and, 
as  a  sensible  writer  has  it,  "To  imagitie 
that  the  world  tiikevS  no  notice  of  our  foi- 
bles, because  we  do  not,  is  just  as  wise  as 
to  fancy  that  others  do  not  see  us,  becau- 
se we  shut  our  eyes." 

"The  Lord  is  near  unto  all  those  who 
call  upon  Him,  to  all  who  call  upon  Him 
■Jrt  truth.  He  will  fulfil  the  desire  of  those 
who  fcar  Him;  He  will  also  hear  their 
cry  and  save  them.  I 


Manners. 
You  think  these  faces  frightful  1 ;  and  so 
they  are  ;  and  so  they  are  ;  and  you  may 
thank  God  for  your  better  appearance.  But 
what  is  worse  than  a  distorted  face  is  a  cor- 
rupt and  perverted  soul ;  as  a  head  that  ploth- 
ed  mischief,  ami  a  heart  that  is  steeled 
against  the  appeals  of  want ;  flattering  lips, 
and  a  lying  tongue  ;  an  eye  that  looked  proud 
ly,  and  an  ear  that  listeneth  to  deceit ;  an 
-hand  that  heapeth  ill  gotlen  gain  ;  and  a  foot 
that  hastens  to  (is  ready  to  commit)  evil. 

But  even  bad  manners  are  worse  than  ugly 
faces ;  therefore  I  will  warn  you  this  time 
against  some  faults  regarding  manners  : 

VisiTLVG.  The  wise  roan  says  "Render  thy 
foot  rare  in  the  house  of  thy  neighbor  ;  lest 
he  may  be  weary  of  thee."  (Prov.  25 :  17.) 
Therefore  do  not  visit  the  house  of  your 
friends  too  often  ;  some  children  (and  men) 
seem  to  forget  that,  when  people  will  want 
them,  they  will  call  for  or  cull  on  them,  and 
idle  visits  are  a  loss  of  time  for  the  visitor  and 
for  those  who  are  visitetl.  You  need  not  go 
and  ask  people  how  they  are  ;  children  gene- 
rally are  well,  and  grown  people,  you  must 
have  known  for  years  without  any  serious 
ailment ;  therefore  avoid  going  daily  to  see 
how  people  are.  When  they  are  sick,  they 
will  send  for  you,  if  they  want  you. 

Visiti.no  TiiK  Sick. — The  nerves'of  the  sick 
man  or  weak,  quietude  and  rest  must  often 
supply  to  him  the  want  of  sleep.  Do  not  visit 
the  sick,  unless  you  know  you  are  wanted,  and 
that  you  can  be  an  assistance  to  them.  I  was 
often  shocked  at  a  member  of  boisterous  igno- 
rant men,  talking  women,  who  crowded  the 
sickroom,  viliated  the  air,  and  distuabed  the 
patient  by  their  idle  or  noisy  talk,  and  were 
otherwise  in  the  way.  When  the  sick  man 
wants  pastime,  he  will  let  you  know  ;  bat  be 
advised,  if  you  hear  of  the  sickness  of  a  poor 
man  who  may  want  your  personal  or  pecuni- 
ary aid,  then  lose  no  time,  and  do  not  go  "/o 
lee"  him,  as  sick  man  does  not  want  lookers-* 
on,  but  fo  "visit"  him,  enquire  into  his  wants, 
aad  relieve  them. 

Entkrino  Rooms. — Never  enter  without 
knocking  at  the  door.  Never  enter  in  a  hurry, 
or  with  a  rush.  Never  bang  the  door  ;  but 
shut  it  gently.  Never  enter  with  an  air  of 
levity,  or  boisterously  :  you  do  not  know, 
what  may  have  happened  to  your  friend  that 
renders  him  little  disposed  for  your  mirth  ;  nor 
do  yon  know  whom  you  may  meet  there,  in 
whose  presence  your  mirth  may  be  very  mib©- 
coming.  A  sober  seriousness  will  suit  every- 
where, and  at  any  time.  There  will  be  time 
to  change  that  for  gaiety  among  the  gay. 


In  time  ef  troub:e  Ood  is  nearest. 

When  In  the  sunny  spring  of  youth. 

The  world  looked  gay  and  bright  before  thee. 

And  when  thy  road  was  fair  and  smooth, 

And  earlh'H  best  ){ifts  were  st'attered  o'er  Ihca  ; 

When  sweetly  sang  the  syrea  hope. 

And  friouds  seomM  fondest  and  aiucereat. 

Then  was  the  time  to  doubt  and  droop, 

It  was  not  then  that  Oo<l  was  nearest. 

'Tis  in  the  time  of  grief  and  gloom. 
Of  meek  and  patient  self-denial ; 
'Tie  in  the  atlll  and  shaded  room, 
'Tis  in  the  thoniy  path  of  trial ; 
Tia  in  true  and  earnest  i)raycra 
Bise  to  the  power  whom  thou  rovoreat; 
And  he  in  pity  marks  thy  cares. 
And  bids  tbee  feel  that  Ood  is  nearest. 

Take  comfort,  though  the  hour  be  nigh,; 
Lcng  viewed  by  thee  with  timid  shrinking. 
The  Lurd  assistance  shall  supply, 
To  keep  thy  foeble  steps  from  sinking, 
And  in  the  shadowy  vale  of  death. 
When  most  thou  trembloit,  most  thou  fearest. 
List  I  and  the  voiceof  trustingfaith 
Shall  tell  to  thee  that  God  is  nearest  t

TheDlscontented  Child. 

There  are  some  ehildreu  in  the  world 
that  nothlllg  oxa,efty  suits.  'Hieir  food  is 
overdone  or  under-done — their  clothes 
are  too  large  or  too  small — their  school 
is  too  strict  or  too  "disorderly  —  the 
weather  is  too  hot  or  too  cold,  too  wet 
or  too  dry,  and  so  it  is  all  the  day  long 
and  all  the  year  round.  They  are  never 
suited.  We  have  seen  such  children.  They 
remind  us  of  cows  that  are  turued  into  a 
field  where  the  clover  is  up  to  their  eyes 
and  after  trampling  all  over  it,  and  filling 
their  maws  with  the  rich  food,  they  turn 
their  staring  eyes  towai-ds  the  next  field, 
as  if  they  would  like  to  serve  that  in  the 
same  way. 

So  the  discontented  child  looks  this 
way  and  that  way  in  search  of  some  fan- 
cied gt)od,  while  the  r^al  cause  of  his  dis- 
content is  within.  Let  him  break  up 
his  idle  habits,  and  go  to  his  books  or  to 
his  play  with  a  determinatittii  to  make  the 
bcht  of  everything,  and  thei-ewill  be  some 
sunshine  in  the  thickest  fog,  .and  a  streak 
of  light  upon  the  darkest  cloud.

Bad  Company- 
Bad  Company  spoils  good  manners   is 
an  old  proverb,  and  the  book  of  proverbs 
says  very  correctly,  "Can  a  man  walk  on 
coals  and  his  feet  not  be  burned."   Our 
good   as  our    evil    not  only  benefit  or 
hurt  ourselves,  but  they  exercise  a  good 
or  banefut  influence    round  us.  Our  good 
and  evil  companions  will  make  us  better 
or  worse.  The  following  beautiful  allegory 
will  serve  to   impress    the  advice  given 
you  on  your  mind   "Sophronius   a   wise 
teacher,  would  not  sufTer  even  his  grown 
up  sons  and  daughters  to  associate   with 
thoes  whose   conduct  was  not  pure  and 
upright.     "Dear  father,"   said  thei  gentle 
Eulalia  to  him  one  day,  when  he  forbade 
her,  in  company  with  her  brother,  to  visit 
the  volatile  Lucinda,  "Dear  father,   you- 
niiist  think  us  very  childish  if  you  iinagi 
ne  that  we  would  be  exposed  to  dangea  by 
it.   The  father  too1<  in  silene  a  dead  coal 
from  the  hearth^    and  reached   it  to  his 
daughter.     "It   will  not    burn   you,    my 
child  take  it.'  Eulalia  did  so,  and  behold 
her  delicate  writo  hand    was  soiled  and 
blackened,  and   as  it   chanced,   her   white 
dress  also.  "We  cannot  be  too  careful   in 
handling  coals,"  said  Eulalia,  in  vexation 
"Yes,  truly,"  .said  her    father;    "you  see 
niy  child,  that  coahs,  even  if  they  do  not 
burn,  blacken.  So  it  is  with  the  company 
of  the  vicious. — [From  the  German,

And,  behold,  their  oame  up  out  of  ihe  rirer 
■even  kine,  of  good  appearance  and  fat  id 
fl«*h,  and  they  fed  in  the  meadow. — Geneiii

Strange  that  kIne  should  ascend  from  the 
river.    And  from  the  text  it   would  appear

True,  it  was  but  a  dream  ;  but  even  in  a 
dream,  animals  ascending  from  the  water  may 
not  be  an  absurdity.  You  welf  know  that  the 
climate  of  Egypt  is  very  hot,  and  such  couui 
tries  breed  insects  in  abundance. 

This  will  account  how  in  Egypt  it  was  no- 
thing striking  to  see  buffaloes,  a  variety  of  ihe 
ox  well  known  in  ancient  Fgypt,  come  out  of 
the  water.  In  hot  countries  they  delight  to 
stand  in  the  rivers,  and  seem  to  be  almost 
amphibious  ;  "  'I"hey„8ay8  Dr.  John  Kitto,maie 
and  female,  will  remain  for  hours  in  the  water 
with  all  their  bodies  immersed  except  the  heads 
and  the  most  broad  and  rapid  rivers  are  swam 
by  them  with  great  ease.  The  sight  of  horned 
cattle  coming  up  actually  out  of  a  river  is 
therefore,  by  no  means  an  incident  of  rare 
occurence.  The  animals  were  in  the  present 
instance  kine — not  oxen  for  labor,  but  cow 
for  milk — well,  therefore,  suited  to  a  symboli- 
cal representation  of  plenty. 

In  connection  with,  this  it  maybe  interest- 
ing to  mention  that  the  records  of  history 
that  it  is  probably  true  that  Sapor.kiog  of  Per- 
sia, was  compelled  to  raise  the  siege  of  Niai- 


bis  by  a  plague  of  gnats,  which  attacked  his 
elephants  and  beasts  of  burden,  and  so  caused 
the  rout  of  his  army  ;  And  we  know  that  the 
inhabitants  of  various  cities  should,  by  an 
extraordinary  multiplication  of  this  plague > 
have  been  compelled  to  desert  them  ;  and  that, 
by  their  power  of  doing  mischief,  like  other 
conquerors  who  have  been  the  torment  of  the 
human  race,  they  should  have  attained  to  fame, 
and  have  given  their  name  to  bays,  towns  and 
territories,  Mosquito  Bay.  Mosquito  a  town 
in  Cuba;  Mosquito  country  in  North  Amer- 
ica. 


Disobedience  to  Parents. 

A  young  man  was  sentenced  to  the 
South  Cju-olina  penitentiary  for  four  years 
When  he  was  about  to  be  sentenced,  he 
stated  publicly  that  his  downward  course 
began  in  disobedience  to  his  parents-that 
he  thought  he  knew  as  much  of  the  world 
as  his  father  did,  and  needed  not  his  aid 
and  advice,  but  as  soon  as  he  turnrd  his 
back  upon  his  home,  then  temptations 
cjxme  around  him  like  a  pack  of  hyenas, 
and  hurried  him  on  to  ruin.

SAND. 


On  examining  sand  under  a  micro- 
scope, you  cannot  find  in  any  quantity 
whatever  two  parUoIes  that  are  entirely 
»like ;  and  though,  perhaps,  in  their  first 
configuration  they  might  be  alike,  yet  at 
present  t^ey  are  exc^dinglj  different ; 
the  sand,  especially  what  we  make  use 
of,  is  liable  to  audi  great  alterations,  that 
it  would  be  a  wonder,  if  even  in  its  smal- 
lest particles,  of  which  there  may  be  a 
thousand  in  one  small  grain,  there  should 
l>e  an  exact  similitude. 

1  got  some  ahining  sand,  which,  though 
very  thin,  was  not  transparent,  its  lustre 
l^eing  wholly  oocasioned  by  the  reflection 
of  the  light  from  its  polished  sides :  se- 
veral partnHes  of  this  saod,  which  were 
much  larger  than  the  rest,  reflected  no 
light,  thoi^h  they  seemed  smooth  to  the 
naked  eye;  fVom  whence  I  concluded 
that  they  had  lost  their  lustre  by  the  fre- 
quent rubbing  of  their  sides  against 
oAers.  When  I  viewed  several  grains 
of  the  sand  with  my  microscope,  I  was 
surprised  to  see  that  many  %f  them  were 
nexangular,  and  the  more,  when  I  had 
sifled  the  finest  from  the  coarsest ;  neither 
could  I  observe  tJiat  any  of  the  aaods 
ivere  like  each  other.  I  viewed  the  said 
sand  with  great  attention  several  times, 
"nagining  that  by  some  earthquake  or 
otherwise  it  might  be  thrown  up,  from  the 
place  were  it  had  lato  at  rest,  to  the  super- 
hciesof  the  earth;  and  many  grains  as 
'  laneied  had.  preserved  their  origmal 
»liape  and  %ure;  for  fhey  had  received 
little  or  no  damage. 

The  figure    represents  a    hexangular 
grain  of  sabd,    that  was    as  bright    and 


FIGURES  OF  SAND. 


shining  as  any  polished  met^,  and  the 
triangular  figures,  which  appeared  on  it, 
were  as  bright  as  the  rest  of  the  body, 
which  occasioned  a  very  agreeable  sight. 

Before  one  of  my  glasses,  I  placed  an 
other  grMn  of  sand,  less  than  the  former, 
but  it  was  flat,  and  not  the  16th  part  so 
large  as  a  coarse  grainpicked  out  of  our 
common  white  sand.  This  was  a  surpris- 
ing sight,  and  is  represented  in  the  en- 
graving, where  you  may  see  not  only  as 
it  were  a  ruined  temple,  but  in  the  comer 
of  it  appear  two  images  of  human  shape, 
kneeling  and  extending  their  arms  to- 
wards an  i^tar,  that  seems  to  stand  at  a 
small  distance  from  them. 

The  third  figure  represents,  as  near  as 
codld  be  trac^  another  hexangular  small 
sand,  with  two  sharp  points  like  pyra- 
mids, and  each  side  that  composed  them 
very  smooth  and  shining:  1  have  seen  se- 
veral such  sand«,  that  on  each  «de  had  a 
smooth,  shining,  and  oblique  superficies, 
sometimes  one  one  single  grain  to  the 
number  of  24  such  polished  sides  or  fa- 


ces. 


There  were  other  sands,  that  were 
flomolete  hexangles,  the  flat  sides  of 
which  appeared  like  a  steel  looking-glass 
in  a  frame;  anjl  in  some  of  them  were 
little  holes,  whidi  seemed  to  be  likewise 
hexangular;  whence  I  concluded  that 
sueh  a  hole  was  made  by  the  pressure  of 
another  a«id  (^the  like  figure.  When  I 
viewed  any  of  these  sands  sidewise,  ea<di 
of  the  six  sides,  which  in  the  figure  ap- 
pear as  a  frame  or  border,  seemed  to  be 
a  polised  looking-glass. 

In  short,  should  I  undertake  to  give  a 
view  of  1000  others,  and  should  enter  on 


a  strict  examination  of  every  one  of 
them,  I  doubt  not  but  we  shomd  discov- 
er every  one  of  them  to  be  of  different 
size  and  figure,  besides  several  other  par- 
ticularities which  might  be  peculiar  to 
each  one.  I  have  also  observed  that  this 
shining  Nsaad  weighed  twice  as  heavy  as 
our  common  scouring  sand.  Now  on 
taking  some  of  the  pellucid  or  transpa- 
rent sand,  (which  did  not  shine,  because 
it  reflected  no  light,)  I  observed  that  the 
sides  and  angles  of  each  grain  were  freer 
from  sotfs  and  blemishes  than  most 
others  I  hadyet  considered ;  and  whence 
I  conoludM'  that  such  sand  had  not  lain 
long  near  tite  surface  of  the  earth. 

Among  these  shining  sands,  I  discov- 
ered othen  that  had  no  lustre  at  all, 
neither  ha^  any  of  their  particles,  when 
broken  to  pieces ;  but  it  appeared  to  be  a 
dark  red  q^ter ;  and  in  other  sands,  so 
broken,  tliere  was  not  only  a  red  matter, 
but  even  liJO  shining  particles,  all  pro- 
oeding  fitom  one  sand.  1  have  also  seen 
some  sa»^  wbich  m  the  middle  of  their 
shining  «k  represented  small  figures 
wt    luJiro 


choose  to  say,  that  each  particle  of  salt 
in  some  degree,  consists  of  such  fixed 
salts.

Oandles  improve  by  keeping  a  few  months* 
Those  made  in  winter  are  the  best.  The 
most  economical,  as  wdl  ai  the  moat  con- 
Tenieot  plan,  is  to  purchase  them  by  the  box, 
keeping  them  always  in  a  oool,  dry  place.  If 
wax  candles  become  discolored  or  toiled,  they 
may  be  restored  by  rubbing  them  over  with  a 
clean  flannel  slightly  dipped  io  spirits  of  wiae. 
Light  them  always  with  a  match  ;  and  hold 
%c  match  to  the  side  of  the  wick,  and  not 
over  the  top. 

Should  they  get  dirty  txA  yellow,  wet 
them  with  a  piece  of  flannel  dipped  m  spirits 
of  wune. 

In  purchasing  wax,  spermaceti,  or  composi- 
Hon  candles  for  company,  there  will  be  a  sav- 
log  by  proportioning  the  length  and  size  of 
the  lights  to  the  probable  doratiOD  of  the 
party.  Mixed  wax  and  spermaceti  make  the 
best  candles,  of  which  a  long  four  (that  is,  four 
to  the  pound,)  will  hut  ten  boon ;  a  abort 
six  will  bam  six  hoars ;  a  thrae  twelve  hoors. 

If  a  candle  be  blown  out  holding  it  above 
yea,  the  wick  will  not  smoolder  doMi,  and 
may  therefore  be  easily  lighted  again ;  bi^t  It 
blown  upon  downwards,  the  contrary  Utbe 
case. 

Wh||a  lamps  are  foal  inside,  wash  them 
with  potash  and  water,  nnse  them  well,  set 
them  before  the  fire,  aodlw  siure  they  are  dry 
before  oil  is  again  pat  into  tham. 

Lastps  will  have  a  \tm  disagreeable  BmeII>

To  dean  ground-glass  shadfli,  wash  the  Ui- 
sides  oarefhlly  with  weak  eoap  and  water, 
lokewarm,  rab  them  very  lightly  and  dry 
with  a  soft  oloth.

Though  tbu  Bcrvio«8uf  the  camel  were 
enguj^  already  as  early  as  in  time  of 
Abrahiiin, — ae  ^vo  read  that  his  steward 
filiezer  vtmd  them  on  his  travel  from  Ca- 
naan tl»:^e8opotamia,  Genesis  24 — 'It 
was  but  of  recent  years  that  many  er- 
roneous  impressions  have  been  removed, 
and  many  interesting  particulars  furnish- 
ed by  travellers  in  the  East,  concerning 
this  useful  animal  which  is  frequently 
mentioned  in  the  Bible,  and  which,  in  its 
structure,  habits,  and  use,  shows  so  plain- 
ly the  design  of  the  benevolence,  wisdom, 
and  providence  of  the  Creator.  And  con- 
sidering that  additional  interest  has  been 
created  in  the  camel,  by  its  late  importa- 
tion mto  this  country,  wejthought  a  des- 
cription of  a  number  of  particulars  not 
generally  known,  vvill  he  worthy  the 
space  we  intend  to  ailow  it  in  our  col- 
ums: 

The  eonntry  moat  rich  and  abundant  in  ca- 
mel* is  UDdoubtwiiy  the  province  of  Nejed  ia 
Atabia,  aajttlei;  ton  that  acooont  Om  el  Bel, 
or  Mother  of  Cao^eU.  It  famishes  Syria, 
Hedjaz,  and  YemfiO  with  camels,  which  in 
those  couatries  beconw  worth  doable  the 
price  orifiqaUjr  ,pai4  for  them  m  Nejod.  The 
Turkmans  and  Koarda  of  Anatolia  purchase 
yearly  from  8000  to  10,000  camels  in  the  Sy- 
rian deserts,  af  which  the  greater  number  are 
brought  there  from  Nejed.  But  it  is  the  ca- 
mel of  OniaOt  on  the  eastern  coast  of  the  Arap 
bian  peninsala,  which  ia  celebrated  in  the 
Bongs  of  Arabia,  as  the  fleetest  and  moat  beaa- 
tiful;  and,  in  fact,  the  legs  of  the  Oman 
camels  are  more  slender  and  straight,  their 
eyes  mdre  prominent  and  sparkling,  and  tbeir 
whole  appearance  denotes  them  df  hii^her  li- 
neage than  the  ordinary  breeds  of  this  animal- 
In  moontateoM  eoontrieff  camels  ans  acaroe 
certaialy ;  bat  it  it  a  mistaken  impression 
that  banels  ar«  nbt  capable  of  ascending  hills ; 
for,  preyfdM  the  lattet  are  rooKh,  they  can 
ascend  the  steepest  and  most  rogged  paths 
with  as  much  facility  as  males.  The  feet  are 
large  and  spreading,  and  coyered  at  the  lower 
part  with  a  rough  flexible  akin.  It  is  as  ers 
rooeona  opinion  tbat  the  camel  delighta  in 
sandy  ground.  It  is  true  that  he  cressea  it 
with  leas  ditBcolty  than  any  other  aoimid  : 
bat  wherever  the  sande  are  deep,  the  weight 
of  himself  and  his  load  makes  his  feet  sink 
into  the  sand  at  every  atep,  and  he  groans  and 
often  sinks  nnd^  Ms  harden.  Henoe  the  akd^ 
letoas  of  camels  are  fonnd  in  the  greateit 
numbera  where  the  sands  are  the  deepeit 
The  soil  best  adapted  to  their  fbet,  and  which 
jlbey  traversb  with  the  moat  faoiUty,  la  that  of 
which  the  desert  is  usually  composed,  a  dry 
and  hard  but  fine  gravelly  plain. 

In  years  of  aoaroitj  the  camel  is  always 
barren.  If  the  birth  WaoaoMl,  as  is  often 
the  case,  happans  on  a  journey,  the  Bedouin 
receives  it  in  his  arnu,  and  plaoes  it  fbr  a  few 
hours  on  the  back  of  Its  mothert  Bat  at  the 
first  halting-place,  the  little  stranger  la  pat 
down  to  receive  the  parent  a  oareesee,  aod  al- 
ways after  it  oontinaes  to  follow  her  footatepe

the  Eoropean  to  view  the  act  witboat  com-

dains  never  make  them  kneel  to  mount  them- 
aelves,  but  either  eause  the  aoinal  to  drop  bis 
neck  to  receive  their  foot,  and  on  their  rait- 
ing it,  the  rider  is  enabled  to  gain  his  seat,  or 
they  clivb  up  behind  ;  it  pleaaas  them  much 
when  a  stranger  can   accomplish    either  of 

these  (feats. 
I'he  distinction  between  the  Camel  and  the 

Dromedary  is  not  that  the  former  has  two 
humps  and  the  latter  but  one,  as  very  freqent- 
ly  has  been  stated,  and  very  generally  believ- 
ed. Both  have  bat  one  hamp,^d  the  dro- 
medary is  distinguished  from  the  camel  only 
by  its  higher  breed  and  finer  qaulities— as  the 
high  blood  race  horse  is  distinguished  from 
the  cart  horse.  Whenever  as  Arab  perceives 
in  one  of  his  camels  any  indication  of  its  being 
small  and  active,  he  trains  it  for  the  purpose 
of  riding ;  and  if  it  be  a  female,  he  Ukes  care 
to  match  her  with  a  fine  high  bredtoale, 
whereby  the  fine  dromedary  races  are  improv- 
ed and  perpetuated  The  two-hnmp«d  camel 
ia  the  northern  or  Bactrian  camel,— the  camel 
of  Central  Asia,— and  found,  by  migration 
with  man,  in  the  Crimea,  and  in  the  other 
countries  which  border  the  Caacaaian  Mount- 
ains. In  South  Weatern  Asia  this  camel  is 
scarcely  known.  Stephens  assures  us  that  on 
ithe  starting  of  the  Mecca  caravan  he  had  seen 
together  as  many  as,  perhaps,  twenty  thou 
sand  camels  and  dromedaries,  and  bad  net  seen 
mere  than  half  a  dozen  with  two  humps. 
Burckhardt  also  says  the  Arabs  have  no  dro- 
medaries with  two  humps,  nor  did  he  ever  aee 
or  hear  of  any  in  Syria.  It  is  true  that  in 
Anatolia  theie  ia  a  two-humped  breed,  pro- 
duced between  the  two-humped  male  drome- 
dary brought  fh>m  th«  Crimea,  and  a  Tnrk- 
maa  ahe-oamel.  Bat  one  of  the  two  small 
humps  which  the  progeny  exhibits  is  cnt  off 
immediately  after  birth,  to  render  it  more  fit 
for  bearing  a  load.  The  single  hamp  of  the 
Arabian  and  Syrian  camels  eontinoea  round 
and  fleshy,  while  the  animal  ia  in  good  con- 
dition ;  bat  by  a  remarkable  provision  of  na- 
ture, as  dpes  the  fat  in  other  animala,  this  ex 
cresoence,  by  its  gradual  absorption,  aapi^ies 
the  place  of  other  nonriahment  under  oircnffl- 
stances  of  privation.  Few  creatiires  exhibit 
ao  rapid  a  oonversion  of  fbod  into  fat  as  ca- 
mels. A  few  days  of  rest  and  ample  nourish- 
ment produce  a  visible  angmentatioo  of  flesh ; 
while,  on  the  contrary,  a  few  days  employed 
in  travelling  without  food,  reduce  the  creature 
almost  immediately  to  little  more  than  a  ske- 
leton, ttcept  the  hamp,  which  much  longer 
resists  the  efiecta  of  fatigue. 

The  first  thing,  about  which  an  Arab  is 
solicitous,  on  commencing  a  long  jonrney,  is 
the  state  of  hia  eamel'a  hamp.  If  this  ia  in 
good  eondition,  he  knows  that  the  ^imal  is 
in  a  state  of  endure  Jinch  fatigue  i^  a  very 
moderate  allowance  of  food,  belilvjng  that, 
according  to  ^tHe  Arabic  saying, 
feeds  on  his  own  hump."  The  ft 
soon  as  the  hump  subsides,  the  ai 
to  desist  from  exertion,  and  gri 
to  fatigue.  After  the  creature  has 
ner  lost  its  hamp,  itroqairet  thrteorfour 
months  of  repose  and  cofMOns  noari^|||iibeit  to 
restore  it,  which,  howewer,  doea  9fii  take 
place  until  long  after^the  oiit^  pitfta  of  the 
body  have  been  fully  replettished  wi^  flesh.

without  stopping,  to  nip  the  tiiorny  shrubs 
which  everywhere  aboood  on  tbf  doaerts,  and, 
although  the  spines  on  some  are  sofficiently 
iOrfflldabie  to  piww  a  thi^  shoe,  the  cwfttiS^ 
gin^Mis  formation  of  their  uooth  enables  them 
to  feed  without  difBcalty.  The  Bedooin  also, 
when  walking,  devotee  a  considerable  portion 
of  hia  time  in  collecting  and  feediog  hia  camel 
with  the  snceulent  plants  and  herbs  which 
crons  hia  path.  These,  on  a  journey,  with  a 
few  handfttls  of  dates  or  beans,  form  its  ordi- 
nary fbod  ;  but  while  encamped,  he  is  fed  on 
the  green  stalk  of  the  jowree,  and  the  leaves 
aod  tender  branohes  of  the  tamarisk,  heaped 
on  circalar  mats.and  placed  before  the  camel, 
which  kneels  while  it  is  partaking  of  tbtim. 
In  Southern  Arabia  they  are  fed  on  salt  and 
even  fresh  Qsh. 

Daring  a  journey  it  is  customary  to  halt 
about  four  o'clock,  remove  it  he  loads,  and 
permit  the  camels  to  graze  around,  if  the  Arabs 
are  desirous  of  preventing  them  from  straying 
too  far,  they  tie  their  forelegs  together,  or  bind 
the  fedlock  to  tde  upper  joint  by  a  cord.  The 
head  is  never  secored  ^cepting  whilst  travell- 
ing, when  the  Arabs  unite  them  in  single  file,

Transference  of  Vital  Power, 


"  A  not  uncommon  eause  of  loss  of 
vital  powers  is  the  young  sleeping  with 
the  aged.  Thia  fact  is  well  known  to  ev- 
ery unprejudiced  observer.  But  it  has 
been  entirely  overiooked  by  medical  wri- 
ters. 1  have  on  several  occasions  met  with 
the  counterpart  of  the  following  case : — I 
was  a  few  years  since  consult^  about  a 
pale,  sickly,  and  thin  boy,  of  about  five 
or  six  years  of  age.  He  appeared  to  have 
no  speciic  ailment,  but  there  was  a  slow 
and  remarkiable  decline  of  flesh  and 
strength,  and  of  the  energies  of  all  the 
fimctions ;  what  has  mother  very  aptjy 
termed  a  gradual  Wight,  Afler  enquir- 
ing into  the  history  of  the  case,  it  cwne 
out  that  he  has  been  a  robust  and  pletlior- 
ic  child  up  to  his  third  year,  when  his 
grandmotner  a  very  aged  person  took 
him  to  sleep  with  her ;  that  he  soon  after- 
wards lost  his  good  looks  ;  and  he  had 
continued  to  decline  -ever  since,  notwith-^ 
standing  medical  treatment.  I  directed 
him  to  sleep  apart  from  his  aged  grand- 
parent, and  prescribed  tonics,  change  of 
air,  &c.  The  change  and  recovery  was 
rapid.  It  is  not  with  children  only  that 
deoility  is  induced,  by  tJiis  mode  of  ab- 
stracting vital  power.  The  young  in 
any  con,tact  with'  age,  suffer  iu  a  simil- 
iar  manner,  though  not  to  the  same  extent. 
These  facts  are  often  well  known  to  the 
aged  th^nis'elves^  who  consider  the  indul- 
gence favourable  to  longevity',  and  there- 
fore often  illustrate  the  selfishness  wMch 
in  some  persons,  increases  with  their 
years."

Simple  Diet, 

A  riUMBitVATlVO  OF  HXALTH. 

Were  men  aware  of  the  miscWef  done 
to  our  race  by  artificial  food,  which  cau- 
ses us  to  eat  oonaiderably  more  than  n 
ture  requires,  they  would  stwid  agast 
find  thait  the  ravMes  of  gluttony,  in  thJBr 
various  degree*  (tor,  more  or  less,  we 
all  trespassing,)  are  more  sweeping  tljan 
even  those  of  the  sword.  It  is  caloulat 
ed  that  a  full  ^own  person  in  health  re- 
uires  about  eighteen  ounces  of  food  a 
Jay,  and  this  quantity  is  more  than  doubl- 
ed by  the  generality  of  our  race,  at  least 
in  what  we  call  civilised  co\mtrie«.  Those 
whom  we  call  savage  generally  eat  very 
little;  so  do  semi-civilised  nations.  Vol 
ney  speaking  of  the  Arabs  states;  "They 
are  ordinarily  about  five  feet,  or  five 
feet  two  inches  high  :  they  seldom  have 
more  than  about  six  ounces  of  food  for 
the  whole  day.  Six  or  seven  dates  soak- 
ed in  melted  butter,  a  little  milk  or  curd, 
serve  a  man  for  twenty -four  houi-s;  and 
he  seems  happy  when  he  can  add  a  small 
portion  of  coarse  flour,  or  a  little  ball  of 
rice."  We  admit  that  this  is  not  suffici- 
ent; hence  we  read  in  the  same  traveller : 
•'Those  men  are  smaller,  leaner,  and 
blacker,  then  any  of  iIhj  Dt>d<fMiia&  yet 
discovered.  Their  wasted  legs  have  only 
tendons  without  calves.  Their  belly  was 
shrunk  to  their  back.  They  are  in  gene- 
'  ral  small,^  lean  and  swarthy ;  and  more 
so  in  the  bosom  of  the  desert,  than  on  the 
borders  of  the  more  cultivated  country," 
but  the  difference  between  6  and  86  oun- 
ce's or  more,  is  too  great  not  to  prove  a 
poison.  As  long  as  we  are  young,  and 
the  constitution  strong,  nature  helps  her- 
self by  overexertions  to  work  through 
the  great  mass,  and  great  variety  of  dig- 
gestfble  food  with  which  we  overload  our 
gesitive  organs;  but,  with  the  advance- 
ment of  age,  when  the  system  does  not 
require  any  more  a  supply  for  growth, 
but  only  a  replenishment  ror  waste,  little 
indeed  is  required;  and  the  abundance  is 
but  half  digested,  causing  inflammation, 
waste,  and  death.  The  following  lines  in 
illustration  are  invaluable;  if  attended  to, 
they  cannot  fail  to  prolong  life,  spare 
pain,  and  procure  physical  health: 

Sir  Isaac  Newton  often  dined  on  a  pen- 
ny's worth  of  bread. 

Jefferson  says  that  "no  man  ^j*t  re- 
pents eating  little^"  » 

Loi^  Byron  once  told  a  companion 
that  if  eorae  demigod  would  dictate  to  us 
how  much  we  ought  to  eat,  it  would  put 
an  end  to  half  the  miseries  of  the  race. 

Besides  brown  broad,  the  Greek  boat- 
men subsist  almost  solely  on  their  native 
fruits,  figs,  grapes  and  raisins.  They  are 
the  most  nimble,  active,  graceful,  cheer- 
ful, and  even  merry  people  in  the  world. 

Marion  and  his  men  waxed  stropg  and 
valiant  with  no  food  but  sweet  potatoes, 
no  drink  but  water,  and  no  shelter  but 
the  sky. 

Grant  Thorbum  attributes  his  cheerful 
old  age  to  the  fact  that  he  "never  eats 
enough,"  and  thousands  of  his  country- 
men are  wearing  out  their  bodies  not  so 
much  by  the  exoe»  of  business,  or  the 
multiplicitv  of  cares,  as  by  the  over-work 
they  crowd  upon  them  in  disgeeting  sur- 
plus and  unnecessary  food. 

Abernethy  cured  his  indigestion  and 
regained  his  flesh  by  "going  into  the 
country,  where  he  could  get  good  milk 
•nd  eggs,  and  living  upon  three  ounces 
of  baked  custard  taken  tnree  times  a  day, 
with  no  drink  but  ginger- water.  On  this 
quantity  of  food  he  r«^ned  his  flesh  and 
uniformly  got  better."" 

JonatAW  Edwards  we  see  noting  in 
his  diary :  "I  find  that  I  oannot  be  oon- 
▼ioced,  in  the  time  of  eating,  that  to  eat 


more  would  be  to  Moeed  f^  bound*  of 
tempewMJoe,  though  I  h»vehad  two  ye«r» 
cxperienee  of  the  like,  and  yet  theeemi- 
nutee  tfUr  I  have  done,  I  am  eo»ylnoed 
of  it.  But  yet  again  I  overeat,  thinking 
I  shall  be  somewhat  fktait  if  I  leave  off 
then  ;  but  when  I  have  finished,  1  am  con- 
vinced again  of  exoeee,  and  so  it  is  from 
tim«  to  time.  I  hare  observed  that  more 
seems  to  be  the  truths  when  it  is  ac<x>rd- 
i«iT  tti-i  m-»-    in^lTTTfinrt      tha"    wht^D  other 


JUSTICB    AMOMO     TH» 


The  Eg^tains  were  exceedingly  exact 
about  the  adiuiiiistration  of  justice,  be- 
lieving that  the  support  or  dissolution  of 
society  altogether  depended  upon  thftt 
Tlieir  highest  tribunal  was  composed  of 
tkrty  judges.  They  placed  at  the  head  of 
this  tribunal  the  person  who  at  once  pos- 
sessed the  greatest  share  of  Misdom, 
knowledge,  and  love  of  the  laws,and  pub- 
lic esteem.  The  king  furnished  the  judges 
with  every  thing,  necessary  for  iheir  sup- 
port, so  the  people  had  justice  tendered 
them  without  expense.  JVb  advocates  were 
allowed  in  this  tribunal.  The  parties  ware 
not  even  allowed  to  plead  their  own  caur 
es.  All  trials  were  carried  on  in  writing, 
and  the  parties  themselvs  drew  up  their 
own  cases.  Those  who  had  settled  this 
manner  of  proceeding  well  knew  that  the 
eloquence  of  advocates  very  often  darken- 
ed the  truth,  and  misled  the  judge.  They 
w^r<*  unwilling  to  ftxp«sc  the  ministers  of 
justice  to  the  deceitful  charms  of  pathetic 
affecting  orations.  The  Egyptains  avoided 
this  by  making  each  party  draw  up  the 
statement  ofWs  own  case  in  writing,  and 
they  allowed  »  competent  time  for  that 
purpose  iVPut  to  prevent  the  protracting 
of  suits  too  long,  each  party  was  only  al- 
lowed one  reply.  When  all  the  evidence 
neo«s8iiry  for  their  information  was  giv- 
en to  the  judges,  they  began  their  consul- 
tation. When  the  affair  was  thoroughly 
canvassed,  the  president  gave  the  signal 
for  proceeding  to  a  sentence,  by  taking  in 
his  narvd  a  little  image  adorned  with  pre- 
cious stones,  which  hung  to  a  chain  of  gold 
about  his  neck.  This  image  had  no  eyes, 
and  was  the  symbol  with  which  the  Egypt- 
ians used  to  represent  Truth,  similar  to 
the  Breast  plate  of  the  Jewish  High  priests. 
Judgement  being  given,  the  president 
toudied  the  party  who  had  gained  the 
cause  with  this  image.  This  was  the  form 
of  pronouncing  sentence.  According  to 
the  ancient  law,  the  Kings  of  Egypt  ad- 
ministered an  oath  to  the  judgof  at  their 
installation,  that  if  the  king  should  com- 
mand them  to  give  an  unjust  sentence, 
they  should  not  obey  him.

j  brated  during  eight  days,  commencing  on  the 
twenty-fifth  day  of  the  month  Kislev.     As  the 
historical  events,   the  memory  of  which  this 
festival  perpetuates,  are  most  important  to 
every  lover  of  history  and  liberty,  we  deem  it 
our  duty  to  present  our  readers  with  a  short 
extract,  from  the  annals  of  our  ancestors,  con- 
cerning this  period  of  deep   national  calamity 
and   snflferiog,    from    which    a  merciful  God 
vonehsafed     to    deliver     them.      The   au- 
tkorities    we  use   ars  Jossphns  (Antlq.  iii-), 
the  apocryphal  history  of  tbe  Maccabees,  and 
the  Hebrew  Joseppon  (Booli  iii.).      We  have 
also  thaakfully  and   largely  availed  ourselves 
of  the  aid  afforded  to  us  by  the  History  of  the 
Jews  by  Professar  Milman. 

The  seventy  years  of  exile  and  captivity  of 
Judah   were  terminated  by  the  decree  of  Cy- 
ras, as  had   been  predicted    by  the  Prophet. 
The  Jews  returned  to  Jerusalem.    The  favour 
of  the  mighty  monarch  of  Persia  was  extended 
to  the    worshippers    of  the   true  God.     They 
rebuilt  their  temple  and  city,  and  lived  peace- 
ably in  their  native  vailfeyl.   While  all  around 
them  among  the  neighboring  nations  was  war 
and  difvastatioo,  the  tranquil  Jews,  under  the 
direction  of  their  High  Priests,  cultivated  the 
j     erts  of  peace,  and  strove  gradually  to  re-eeta- 
blish  the  national  welfare  which  the^^had  once 
I     enjoyed.    No    remarkable    event,    for  Oiany 
yean,  interrupted  the  noiseless  tenor  of  their 
annals.     If   the  rancorous    hatred  of  Haman 
threatened  extermination  to  the  Jewish  name, 
the  merciful  interposition  of  Providence  avert- 
ed the  danger,  aad  the  fiate  which  a  remorse- 
less foe  had  prepared  for  Israel  recoiled  on  his 
own  head.      Haman,  his  sons,  and  adherents, 
perished    ignominiouely ;    and  in  Jndea,  and 
throagheut  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-seven 
provinces   which  composed    the  mighty  Per- 
sian empire,  the  Jews,  in  quiet  and  comfort, 
could,  OP  each   revolving   year,  renew  their 
thanks    to  tbe    All-merciful  Being    who  bad 
frustrated  the  murderous  coassels  of  their  f«Jf 
enemy. 

But  this  state  of  quiet  happiness  was  doone 
ed  to  be  most  fearfolly  interrupted  ;  Alexander 
ofMaoedon,  called  by  the  vulgar  "the  Great," 
leader  of  the  Grecian  hosts,  attacked  the  last 
monarch  of  Persia.     His    irresistible  might 
overcame  and  scattered    tbe  numerous  hosts 
of  Darius.    Wherever  he  came,  he  conquered. 
In  his  progrees  ho  besieged  Tyre.f  hence  he 
sent  his  messengers  to  Jerusalem,  and  com- 
manded the  High  Priest  to  ftirniah  him  with 
tbe  same  aid  aad  supplies  which,  till  then,  the 
Jews  had  furnished  to  Darius,  King  of  Persia. 
The  Jews,  true  to  the  monarch   whose  bounty 
they  had   experienced,    loyal  and  fhithful  in 
their  aUegianoe,  refused  to  comj^y  with  Alex- 
ander's commands.      Then:  High  Priest,    in 
the  name  of  the  assembled  Council  of  Israel, 
replied,  that  they  had  sworn  not  to  bear  arms 
against  Darius  during  their  lives,  and  that  they 
could  not  break  their  oath  of  allegiance.    The 
lianghty  conqueror  felt  offended.      He  vowed 
vengeance   against   the  petty  tribe  thai  bad 
dared  to  disobey  his  mandate.    Tyre  was  soon 
subdued ;  and  Jerusalem  was  next  thre«teaed 
by  his  arma.    The  long  continued  tranqaillity 
•od  proeperity    of  tbe  Jews  had  excited  the 
envy  of  tito  neighbouring  tribes.    The  opu- 
lence of  Jerusalem  audits    temple  tempted 
their  cupidity.    No  sooner  was  it  known  that 
the  victorious  army  of  Alexander  was  march- 
">K  against  Jerusalem,  than  nunerons  rein- 
foreemenU  of  Sanaritans  aad  Syriaas,  Phoe- 
Dicians  and    Chaldeaas,  swelled   his   ranks. 
Jaddua  the  High  Priest,  and  the  Jewish  peo- 
ple, were  in  the  utmost  constematien  and  dis 


nay.    PobUe  sMriflcci   wate  aihnd  tor  tbe 
nalfcxi  trrtfsfs ;  p«bHepray«aaroMWtai- 
plopc  tbe  proteotieD  of  the  Deity.     A  nectur- 
nal  Tiaioa  revealed  to  Jaddua  bow  to  appoaae 
the  iooeased  Macedonian.      Aeoordtngly,  he 
canaedtbe  dty  to  be  ornamentwl  with  gai^ 
lands  and  flowers,  and  the  gates  to  be  thrown 
open,  whilst   himself,   and  the  other  Priests, 
dressed  in  their  saeied  vestmeota,  aad  the  peo- 
pie  detfaed  Su  rutai  of  white,  p^red  to  meet 
tbe  dreaded  coaqueror.     The  solenn  proces- 
sion warched    forth  to  Sapha,   an   eminence 
frem  whence  the  whole  city  and  temple  might 
be  seen.      No  sooner  had   Alexander  beheld 
the  HighlMeat  in  his  hyacinthine  robes  em- 
broidered with  gold,  wearing  bis  mitre  with 
the  golden  frontal,  than  he  fell  prostrate  and 
adored    the  Holy  name  which  was  there  in- 
seribed  in  golden  characters.    His  attendants 
were  astonished  ;  and  the  enemies  of  the  Jews 
who     impatiently   expected    the   signal    of 
slaughter  and  pillage,  were  struck  with  amase 
ment.      At  length  Parmenio,  one  ef  the  bead 
leaders  of    Alexaader,    addressed    him  aad 
and  said:   "How   comes  it  tbat  thou,  before 
whom  every  one  prostrates  himself,  shonldest 
kneel  before  the  Priest  of  the  Jews?"    AJexs 
ander  replied,  "I  worship  not  this  man,    bnt 
his  God."      He  further  related  how,  previous 
to  his  entering  on  his  expedition  ta  Persia, 
he  had,  in  a  noeturoal  vision,  at  Dion  in  Ma- 
cedonia, seen  the  Jewish  High  Priest  dressed 
as  he  was  then  before  him  ;  that  the  man  who 
appeared  to  bim  in  that  vision  had  encouraged 
him,  and    promised    him  the  eonqaeet   of  all 
Asia ;  and  he  eoncluded  by  saying,   "Now 
thai  I  see  him  before  me,  my  visioa  recurs  to 
my  mind,  and,  as  I  am  thus  convinced  of  the 
divine  protection,    I  no  longer   doubt  but  I 
shall  succeed  in  my  uadertakings."      He  en- 
Wed  Jerusalem  as  a  friend,  offered  rich  sacri 
fiees,  aad  granted  the  nation  all  those  iavoun. 
and  immunities    which    they   solicited    from 
him.    After  a  short  sojourn,  he  departed  to 
complete  the  final  subjugation  of  the  Persian 
monarchy,  and  thus  to  verify  tbe  prediction 
of  the  Prophet,    that    the    empire  of  Cyrus 
should  be  subverted  by  a  Greek.

northxwest  of  JerusaleoD.  It  was  then  an  in- 
sular city,  and  ia  now  peninsular.  Alexander

Origin  of  the  word  Qhetto. 

A  correspondent  of  the  Zeitung  du  Judrnf 
thutnt  is  of  the  opinion  that  "the  origin  of  this 
word  is  gett*  "caaon  foundery"  from  the  foan- 
dery  of  the  Venetian  republic  that  formerly 
was  in  that  part  of  the  city  which  afterwards 
was  assigned  as  the  residence  of  the  Jews. 
The  plaee  was  cslled  il  aetto,  and  this  word  was 
afterwards  transformed  into  ghetto.  Fpom 
Venice  tbe  name  was  adopted  in  other  cities 
of  Italia."  This  explanation,  though  plausible, 
IS  scarce  probable.  The  name  probably  was 
in  use  before  cannon  foanderie*  (ctate  foun-> 
dories)  existed :  nor  is  it  likely,  withail  the  ina 
fluencc  of  Venice,  that  a  name  adapted  there, 
would  spread  over  other  citiea  of  Italy,  and  sat. 

Krsede  the  names  adopted  anteriority  to  the 
ws  ouarter.  Perhaps  we  are  nearer  the 
truthif  we  derive  the  word  ghetto  •from  tbe 
same  root  from  which  the  English  gate  (entry), 
gall  (walk)  and  the  German  ^<m»*  (street) 
where  people  walk,  is  derived.  The  « in  Ger- 
man, is  equivalent  to  the  <;  these  letters  are 
vicarious  as  hate  ha$s«n  ;  water  vtur;  what 
va*  eta.  The  primitive  of  gate,  gait,  and  Gaase 
is  te  M  found  in  the  Sanscrit  g»  to  move ; 
hence  the  Hebrew  ga^oh  to  elevate  one-' 
self;  hence,  by  the  change  of  v  into  g,  the 
greek  digamma,  which  is  so  frequent  we  have 
the  latin  va— do,  and  all  ita  derivations  in  v 
andy  of  the  Enropian  languages.  From  the 
syllable  ga  g«  and  go,  are  derived  to  go,  Ger- 
man ^«A«n;  from  this  the  n cans  gate,  gait, 
Oaase.  Ghetto.  The  Ghettoes  had  generally 
gates  that  ware  locked  every  night

A  child  is  a  man  in  a  small  letter,  yet 
the  beat  copy  of  Adam  before  he  tasted 
the   forbidden   fruit;    and  he    is  happy, 
whose  small  practice  in    the  world  can 
only  write  his  character.  He  is  nature's 
fresh  picture  pewly  drawn  in    oil,   which 
time,  and  much  handling,  dims  and  defa- 
ces.  Hissoul  is  yet  white  paper  unscribbled 
with  observations  of  the  world,  where- 
with at  length  it  becomes  a  blurred  note, 
book.  He  is   purely  happy,  because  he 
knows  no  evil,  nor  hath  made  means  by 
sin  to    be   acquainted  with    misery.  He 
arrives  not   at  the  misdiief of  being  wiae, 
nor  endures  evils  to  come  by  foreseeing 
them.  He  kisses  and  loves  all,  and  when 
the  smart  of  the  rod  is  past,  smiles  on 
his  beater.  Nature  and  his  parents  alike 
dandle  him,  and  entice  him  on  wite  a  bait 
of  sugar  to  a  draught  of  wormwood-  He 
plays  yet,  like  a  young  prentice  the  first 
day,  and  is  not  come  to  his  task  of  melan- 
choly. All  ^e  language  he  speaks  yet  is 
tears,  and  tney  serve  nim  well  ^lough  to 
expreto  his  necessity.  His  hardest  labour  is 
his  tongue,  as  if  he  were  loath  to  use  so 
deceitful  an  organ;  and  he  is  best  company 
with  it  when  he  can  prattle.  We  laugh  at 
his  foolish  sports,  but  nis  game  is  our  earn- 
est; and  his  drums,  rattles,  and  hobby-hor- 
seSjbut  the  emblems  and  mocking  of  men's 
business-  His  father  hath  writ  him  as  his 
own  little  story,  wherein  he  reads    those 
days  of  his  life  that  he  cannot  remember, 
and  sighs  to  see  the  innocence  hehasoutliv 
ed.The  elder  he  grows,  he  is  a  stair  lower 
from  Grod;  and  like  hi.»  first  father,  much 
worse  for  wear.  He  is  the  good  man's  ex- 
ample, and  the  old  man's  relapse;  the  one 
imitates  his  pureness,  and  the  other  falls 
into  his   simplicity.    Cbuld  he  put  off  his 
body  with  his  little  coat,  he  had  got  eter- 
nity  without  a  burden,  and    exchanged 
but  one  heaven  for  another.      •

The  paaple,  aa  in  many  other  sim  ilar  placee, 
do  not  know  how  to  observe  the  decencies  of 
the  plae^  they  talk,  and  somatimcs  even  loud. 
The  Amidah,  vulgarly  called  8h»mcn«h  St*- 
rah  (the  prayer  of  tightttn)  it   not  repeated. 
We  say  vulgarly,  beeauae,  bare  aa  in  the  pro- 
annciation,  accentuation  etc.    the  vox  popnli 
is  corrupt;    this   prayer  consisting  (now  not 
anciently)  of  nineteen  bleasinga  for  every  day, 
and  seven  for  sabbath  day,  and  so  it  is  aa  ua* 
truth  to  call   it  iSA#mon«A  ^««rrA  (aighteea.) 
A  laudable  custom  obtains  at  Venice;  while 
the  reader  recites y«4«rw  A «*«A"rhe  Lord  bless 
thee,"    the  children    gather   round  their  pa- 
renta  who    bleaa  them    by  the  impoeitioa   of 
hands.      There  exisU  a  Talmud  Tbora  (for 
boys)  aa  also  a  girls  school  for  religion,  which 
l«svea  much    room    for   improvement    The 
Rabbi  A   Lattes  is  efficient  for  the   benefit  af 
tbe  congregation ;    he  is  a  father  to  the  poor. 
To  his  mediation  they  owe  the   benefit  of  raa 
ceiving  their  share  with  the  Christian  poor  of 
all  distributions  made  by  the  city  authorities. 
He  alao  apprentices  boys  who  wish  to  Isarn 
a  trade.    There  exiaU  a  society  SociHaJlUncni 
whieh,  after  the   completion  of  their  appren- 
ticeship,  providea  thoaa  boya   with  means  to 
eommence  business    on    their  own    aaeonnt 
Tbe  rabbi  also  uses  his  influence  with  parents 
to    send  the  girls   to  Christian  schools,  wh«r« 
they  distinguish  themstlves  and  very  frequent- 
ly receive  premiums. 

Boys  and  youths  frequent  the  hi|^  sehool, 
collegea  and  the  university,  where  they  hunor^ 
ably  diatinguish  themselves. 

Venice  has  many  Jews  who  laudably  figure 
in  the  community.    Among  the  men  of  letters, 
professor  S.  Romain,  member  of  the  Imperial 
Institute   of  Sciences  and  Letteea,  and  of  the 
Lit«rary  Society  of  Padua.     He  ia  the  author 
of  the  «<ert<i    Vtnicim  dwntnuntata  of  wbieh  the 
fifth  volumne  appeared  lauly.     Dr.  Namias  ia 
fitst  pbysiciaa  of  the  Hospital,   and  is  other- 
wiae  distinguished.  So  kaa;Dr.  Assoa,  secreta^ 
ry  of  AtAtneo  vttuto  acquired  fame  aa  pbysi- 
eian.  Dr.  Levy  has  writUn  several  medicinal 
works  whose  merit  is  acknowledged  by  tha 
faculty.  There  exiat  several  young  Jewish  ju- 
rists aad  physicians.  Dr.  Treves  distinguishes 
himself  as  engineer  and  mechanid.  Dr.  Eurico 
Sacerdoti  has  an  appointment  at  the  ar«hite«t< 
ral  academy  of  Triest  Dr.  Aug.  Saraval  is  ena 
gineer  at  the  Botsen  railroad.    Beoidaa  a  good

Answer  to  the  Enigma  in  Kfimber  46 


This  enigma  was  answered  by,  Beaufort, 
and  Master  Steinhart. 

Lot  was  a  righteous  man.  Elxit  denotes 
depatare. '  A  Lion  is  a  large  aDimal.  Glee  is 
another  namejorjnirth.  A  Net  is  ad  article 
used  for  fishing.  Tbe  leg  is  a  part  of  the  hu- 
man frame.  To  Ignite  is  the  same  as  to  kin- 
dle. Tbe  egg  is  an  article  of  food.  A  note 
is  a  short  communication.  There  was  a  fa- 
mous battle  fought,  daring  tbe  war  of  the 
Berolution,  at  Lexiagton,  in  the  State  of 
Massaobosetts,  April,  19th,  1775.

renouned  man  of  ancient  times,  by 

Wabrbn.

from  tomo  of  our  young  readera,     Thoae  who 
ean  unriddle  it  m.ty  addreea  the  solution  to  the 
Offioe  of  the  O  eantr,   and  their  name*  will  b 
given  to  the  aolution. 

Jiu  OUaner  will  alao  b«  glad  to  reoeiTa 
some  riddlei  from  our  ohildren,  to  vhioh  he 
may  give  publioation. 


Revenge. 

The  root  of  revenge,  is  in  the  weakness 
of  the  soul:  the  most  abject  and  timorous 
are  the  most  addicted  to  it. 
Who  torture  those  they  hate,  but  cowards? 
who'  murder  those  they  rob,  bnt  wofnen; 

The  feeling  an  injury,  must  be  previous 
to  the  revenging  it;  but  the  noble  mind 
disdaineth  to  say,  It  hurts  me.  \ 

If  the  injury  is  not  below  thy  notice, 
he  that  dotii  it  unto  thee,  in  that  maketh 
himself  so:  wouldst  thou  the  enter  lists 
thine  inferior'? 

Disdain  the  man  who  attempteth  to 
wrong  thee;  contemn  him  who  would  give 
withUnee  disquiet. 

In  this  thou  not  only  preservest  thine 
own  peace,  but  thou  inflictest  all  the  pun- 
ishment of  revenge,  without  stooping  to 
employ  it  against  him. 

As  the  tempest  and  the  thunder  affect 
not  the  sun  and  the  stars,  bat  spend  their 
fury  on  the  stones  and  trees  below:  so  in- 
juries ascend  not  to  the  souls  of  the  great 
but  waste  themselves  on  such  as  those 
who  ofTer  them. 

Poorness  of  spirit  will  actuate  revenge; 
greatness  of  soul  despiseth  the  offence; 
nay,  it  doth  good  unto  him  who  iBtended 
to  have  disturbed  it. 

Why  seekest  thou  vtingeanoe,0  man! 
with  what  purpose  is  it  that  thou  pai|;uest 
itl  Thinkest  thou  U>  pain  thine  adver^ry 
by  iti  Know  that  thyself  feelest  its  gneat- 
est  torments. 

Revenge  gnaweth  the  heart  of  him 
who  is  infected  with  it,  while  he  against 
whom  it  is  intended  remaincth  easy. 

It  is  unjust  in  the  anguish  it  taOiotr, 
therefore  nature  intendM  itnot  for  thee: 
needeth  he  who  is  iujurod  more  pain?  or 
ought  he  to  a^d  foiree/  to  tbe  affliction 
which  anotoer  hath  <ii^upon  himl 

The  man  who  medjfl^th  revenge,  is 
not  content  with  the  mischief  he  hath  re- 


jMiTed;  he  addeth  to  his  angxtiah  the  pun- 
iahnent  duo  unto  another:  while  he  whom 
hoseskfltb  t<>  hurt,  gouth  his  way  Uughing 
hrtnlinMli  hlmseif  merry  at  this  addition 
ta  Ws  misery.  ^ 

Rsv<aice  is  jjainful  in  the  intent,  as 
it  is  dangerous  in  the  execution:  seldom 
doth  tho  ax  fell  where  he  who  lifltd  it  iu- 
iiitended;  and  lo,  ho  remombereth  not 
that  it  must  recoil  against  him. 

Whilst  the  niveiigefitl   seeke^  hiau»iie 
my's  hurt'   he  oflentimea-'procmreth  his 
own  destruction:  while  aiftieth  at  one    of 
the  eyes  of  his  advorsary.  1<>,  he  putteth 
out  both  his  owa. 

If  he  attain  not  his  end,  he  lanuenteth 
it;  if  he  succeed,  he  repetiteth  of  it; 

Can  the  death  of  thine  advorsary  sati- 
atJb  thy  hatred?  can  the  setting  him  at 
rest,  restore  thy  peaoe. 

Wonldijt  thou  make  hiin  sorry  for  his 
offence,  conquer  him  by  showing  him 
thy  superiority,  and  spare  him  by  an 
act  of  humanity:  show  him  that  you  can 
forgive.  By  jSurting  him,  you  merely 
show  you  can  do  as  brutes  do  when  assaul- 
ted. Revenge,  is  brutal  or  Hunian,  foi-give- 
ness  is  humane  and  divine. 

There  is  nothing  so  easy  aa  to  revenge 
an  offence;  but  nothing  is  so  honorable  as 
to  pardon  it. 

The  greatest  victory  man  can  (tbtain,  is 
over  himself:  he  that  disdaineth  to  tM  an 
injury,  or,  what  is  more  noble,  pardon  it. 
retorteth  it  upon  him  who  offereth  it,or  be- 
comes a  means  of  refbrming  the  offender 

when  thou  meditatest  revenge,  c^mfoss- 
est  that  thou  feelest  the  wrong:  when  thou 
complainest.  thou   acknowiegest  thyself 
hurt  by  it;  meanest  thou  to  add  this  trie 
umph  to  the  pride  of  thine  enemy? 

Good  ofHoes  will  make  a  man  ashamed 
to  be*thine  enemy:  greatness  cf  sonl  will 
terrify  him  from  tho  thought  of  hurting 
thee" 

The  gi'eater  wrohg.  the  more  glory  in 
pardcining  is;  and  by  how  mudi  more 
justifiable  would  be  revenge,  by  so  much 
tjie  more  honour  is  in  clemency. 

Hast  thou  a  right  to  be  a  judge  in  thine 
own  cause;  to  be  a  party  in  the  act,  and 
yet  to  prononce  sentence  on  it?  Before 
t^u  condemnest,  let  attOther  say  it  is 
just, 

The  revengeful  is  feared,  and  therefore 
he  is  hatedHjuthe  that  is  endued  witl^ 
clemency,  is  adored:  the  praise  of  his  SO^ 
tions  fen^aineth  for  ever;  and  the  love  of 
the  world  attendeth  him. —  Ado-ptedfrom 
'^The  Brahmin. 


A  few  Words  for  Children. 


You  were  made  to  be  kind,  generous, 
and  magnanimous.  If  there  is  a  bov  in  the 
school  who  has  a  club-foot,  don't  let  him 
know  that  you  ever  saw  it.  If  there  is  a 
boy  with  ragged  clothes,  don'  talk  about 
rags  when  he  is  within  hearing.  If  there  is 
a  lame  boy,  assign  him  some  part  of  the 
game  which  does  not  require  running.  If 
there  is  a  hungry  <5ne,  give  him  a  part  of 
your  dinner.  If  there  is  a  dull  one,  help 
him  to  get  his  lesson.  If  the*e  is  a  bright 
one,  bene*  envious  of  him;  for  if  one  boy 
is  proUjd  of  his  talents,  and  is  envious  of 
them,  there  are  two  great  wrongs,  and  no 
more  talent  than  baore.'  If  a  larger  or 
stronger  boy  has  injured  you,  and  is  sor- 
ry for  it,  forgive  him  and  ask  the  teacher 
not  to  punish  him.  All  the  school  will 
show  by  their  opuntenantie  l\ow  much  bet- 
ter it  is  to  have  »  great  soul  than  a  great 
fist. — Horace  Mann.

Yea  O  man !  For  a  high  purpose  are 
thou  sent  hither  — Immortality  is  thy 
goal — Life  is  the  seedtime — Death  the 
harvest,  and  Eternity,  the  reward. 


TaV4M(B    8KVBN    HUMDBBD    TIABS   AOO. — ^ThC 

following  description  of  a  driaking  tavern,  is 
in  the  seventh  part  o(  the  oonfbssion  of  the 
Waldenses  and  Alb^nses,  compoad  at  least 
as  far  back  as  the  year  1120,  or  730  years  ago. 
It  will  be  seen  that  the  froits  thereof  are  as 
deadly  and  destroyig  now,  as  they  were  in  an- 
cient days.  "A   tavern  is  the  fountain  ef  sin; 
the  achoal  of  the  d9vil;iit  is  the  manner  of 
,  Qcid  to  show  his  power  in  the  church,  and  to 
work  inericlee;  that  is  to  say,  to  give  sight  to 
the  blind, to  make  the  lame  go,  the  dumb  to 
speak,  and  the  deaf  to  hear:  bat  the  devil  doth 
quite  contrary  to  all  this  in  a  eavern,  for  when 
a  dronken  man  goeth  to  a  tavern,  he  goelh  up- 
rightly; bat  when  he  oometh  forth,  he  cannot 
go  at  all,  and  he  hath  lost  his  sight,  hie  hear- 
ing and  his  speach,  The  lectures  that  are  read 
in  this  school  of  the  devil,  are  giottonies,  paths, 
perjoBies,  lyings,  and  blasphemies,  and  divers 
other  villanies;  for  in  a  tavern  are  quarrels, 
slanders,  oontentations  and  murders"

spiritual  after  leaving  the  body,  given  us 
inthe  animal  plant  1  Would  not  our  trans- 
ition be  quite  analt^ous  to  the  general 
laws  of  nature  1  Is  not  progressive  de- 
velopment, passing  from  a  lower  to  a 
higher  state  of  fixiBtencei  is  not  such  a 
prooees  of  progress  obs^-vable  intiieexis- 
tencies  below  us  ?  And  shall  this  process 
have  oeased  with  man  lis  our  develop- 
ment here  so  perfect  that  nature  oould 
proceed  no  higher  ?  Are  we,  and  only 
we,  to  be  yiUed  by  her  voice  to  stsy  here 
for  a  time,  to  sufier  what  no  animal  suf- 
fers, to  toil,  to  struggle,  to  labor  for 
yeacB  at  improvihg  our  mental  faculties 
from  the  lowest  degree  of  consciousness 
— shall  nature  so  stepmotherly  deal  with 
us,  as  to  call  us  from  the  lowest  base  of 
the  ladder  and  make  us  ascend,  with  hard 
labor,  step  by  step  till  we  have  reached 
a  tolerable  hight,  and  then  at  once  hurl 
us  down  in  the  abyss  of — nothing  %  _  Does 
nature  treat  her  other  children  thus? 
They,  like  mao^die;  but  their  death  elev- 
ates th^m  into  a  higher  range  of  exist- 
ence. And  is  man  only —  in  spite  of  ^ 
impreasions  -i.  his  convictions  —  to  die 
and  be  no  mure?  "Every  rank  of  crea- 
ture" says  Gbl«lldlge,  "as  it  aso«ids  in  the 
scale  of  creation,  Maves  death  behind  it 
or  under  it.  The  metal  at  its  height  of 
being  seems  a  mute  prophecy  ofthe  com- 


ing  vegetation,  into  a  mimie  semblance 
of  whieh  it  chrystallizes.  The  fcfoMowi 
and  flower,  the  acme  of  vegetable  life, 
divides  into  correspondent  organs  with 
reciprocal  functions,  and  by  instinctive 
motions  and  approximations  seems  im- 
patient of  that  fixture,  by  which  it  is  dif- 
ferenced in  kind  from  the  flower-shaped 
psyche  that  flutters  with  free  wing  above 
it.  The  sponge,  h  wich,  within  a  compa- 
ratively short  period  of  time,  is  succes- 
'sively  promoted  from  the  mineral  king- 
dom to  the  vegetable  and  thence  to  the  ani- 
mal, where  it  remains  in  peace.  *' All  thmgs 
strive  to  ascend,  and,  ascend  in  their  striv- 
ing." says  the  author  of  "Natural  Histo- 
ry of  Man."  "And  shall  man  alone  stoop? 
Shall  his  pursuits  and  desires,  the  reflect- 
ions of  his  inward  life,  be  like  the  reflect- 
ed image  of  a  tree  on  the  edge  of  a  pool, 
that  grows  downward  and  seeks  a  mock 
heaven  m  the  unstable  element  beneath 
it,  in  neighborhood  with  the  slim  water- 
weeds  and  oozy  bottom-grass  that  are  yet 
better  than  itself  andjmore  noble,  in  as 
fhr  as  snbstanoes  that  vvftfa  as  shadows 
are  preferable  to  shadows  mistaken  for 
substances!  Nol  ft  must  be  a  higher 
good  to  make  you  happy.  While  you 
labor  for  any  thing  below  your  proper 
Htnaaidtjri  you  seek  a  happy  life  in  the

StTOCBSs. — Mere  success  is  certainly 
one  of  the  Worst  arguments  in  the  world 
of  a  good  cau9c,and  thtf  most  improper  to 
satisfy  conscience:  and  yet  we  find,  by  ex 
perienoe,  that  in  the  issue  it  is  the  most 
successful  of  all  other  arguments,  and 
does  in  a  very  odd,  but  effectual  way,  sat- 
isfy the  consciences  of  a  great  many  men, 
by  showing  them  their  interest.— 2b/fc/-

Nkwspapbrs,  thxir  BKNtrrr. — The  fol- 
lies, vices,  and  consequent  miseries  of 
multitudes,  displayed  in  a  newtpaper  are 
80  many  admonitions  and  warnings,  so 
many  beacons,  Wlinually  burning,  to 
turn  othres  from  the  rocks  on  which  they 
have  been  shipwrecked.  What  more  pow- 
erfiil  dissuasive  from  suspicion,  jealousy, 
and  anger,  than  the  story  of  one  friend 
murdered  by  auother  in  a  duel?  What 
caution  likely  to  be  more  effecting  against 
gambling  and  profligacy  than  the  mounj 
fill  relation  of  an  exeatition,  or  the  fate  of 
a  despairing  suicide?  What  finer  lecture  on 
the  necessity  of  ocnomy  than  an  auction 
of  estates,  houses,  and  flimiture?  "Talk 
they  of  morals?"  Theire  is  no  need  of 
Hutoheson,  Smith,  or  Paley.  Only  take  a 
newspaper,  aud  ooiuMar  it  well;  read  it, 
and  it  will  instnlot  tlMe. — Bishop  Mofke.

now  ioveeted,  will  be  oo«  of  the  greatest  bles- 
sings oonferred  npoo  the  hamao  race.      There 
will  come  a  time    when  we  shall  be  ac  mach 
ashamed  of  the  marders  and  butcheries  com 
mitted  in  the  name  of  the  law,  daring  war,  at 
the  cannibal  is ofbis  cannibalism,  after  aproper 
eoIighteDDeot  of  his  views  on  moraKty  and  re- 
ligion.     Morderiog  and  maiming  a  political 
enemy  whoae  only   crime  may  be  his  nnwil- 
liogoess   to  beod  his  neck    to  the  yoke  of  the 
nwraadiog  conqueror,  or  the  wilful  oppressor, 
is  no  less  a  nark  of  depravity  in  the  pretended 
civilised  man.  than  in  the  eating  him  among 
the  8av»gd.  And  time  will  come  when  the  former 
will  be  as  much  aohamed  of  hiscraelties,  as  the 
latter  of  bis  appetite.     A  man  steals,  robs  and 
ruins  bis  neighboar,    and  oar   laws  condem 
him,  aod  to  a  temporary  punishment  only  ;  a 
man  eommiU    a  murder,    and  only  lie  has,  in 
some  caseo,  to  snfFer  the  highest  penalty  of  the 
law— but  let  a  number  of  men  disobey  some 
conventional  laws,  or  let  them  feel  disposed  to 
rule    themselves   according    to  their    views, 
which  perhaps  are  quite  correct,  we  at  once 
send  a  force  of  brntat  men  actuated  by  incor- 
rect ideas    about  right    or  wrong,  or  blindly 
following  for  hire,  into  the  land  of  the  oppo- 
nent, whom  we  stamp  with  the  name  of  rebels, 
and    unsparingly    carry  murder,  rapine,  and 
violence  into  sacred  homes,  sparing  neither 
the  rebel,  nor  his  helpless  wife,  or  his  innocent 
children,  murderiug,  maiming,  and  mutilating 
all  that  come  within  the  range  of  oar  deadly 
weapons,  without  discrimination  of  innocence 
orgailt,  of  age  or  sex.      What  authority  on 
earth  has   a  right    to  command   a  wholesale 
murder  and  plunder?    What  human  being  has 
a  right  to  kill,  when  natara  says    "Thou  shalt 
not  kill  ?"      What  right  have  a  number  of  ig- 
norant, or  morally    oorrapt  men  to  offer  their 
•erviooe,  and   their    iivee,  to   rob,  and  kill 
at   another's   command*?     Is  that  command 
more  likely  to  be  just    because  it   is  decreed 
by  a  crowned  head,  by  a  cabinet,  or  a  senate, 
when  the  greatest  wrongs  inflicted  on  the  hu- 
man race  have  originated  from  kings,  councils 
and  cabinets !  I      We  therefore  decidedly  de- 
precate all  military  services,  honors,  and  dis- 
tinctions as  spnrlOQS,  dangerous,  andsaspi- 
oious.      All  the  dazzling  trophies,  deceptive 
titles,  aod  false  honors   acquired   by  nominal 
Jews  or  Ghristhins,  in  military  service,  cannot 
conceal  the  blood  with  which  they  are  stained, 
nor  drown    the  cries    of  innocent   suflbrers  by 
whose  real  misery  the  deceptive  honors,  titles, 
and  distinotions  were  purohsaed.     We  do  not 
wish  to  boast  of  military  services,  and  courage 
among  Israel.      We  respect  them  as  agricul- 
turists, as  laborers,  mechanics,  and  artists,  but 
we  shudder  at  the  idea    of  seeing  them  handle 
the  swords — ready  to  kill  even  the  trespassing 
neighbor — at  the  command  of  the  unauthor- 
ised voice  of  a  frail  and  sinfal  raler.  The  Jew 
and    Ohristian   spam  thy   honors    O  blood- 
stained world  1  they  abhors  thy  false  titles,  and 
shudder   at  thy   military  crimes.    One  pious  { 
child  that  will  lay  iti  mite  on  the  altar  of  re- 
ligioo  in  any   cause  coanted    holy,  is  more 
blessing  and  more  ornament  to  her  denomi- 
nation than  all  the  captains  and  generals,  and 
their  blood-stained  masters.    And  so  we  here 
agaia  diaseat  trom  «^  Muiy  Wlio  are  dazzled 
by  high-toned  samet,  and  glittariag  trappings' 
Of  all  distinctions,   milHary  preferments  are 
the  meet  snspioiooa.    The  beat  soldiers  have 
generally  been  the  worst  men. —  As  to  to  the 
valgar  idea  of  valor  and  ooathge  in  fighters, 


the  most,  distingaisfaad   voosbattaot  we  have 
met  witb  ia  history,  was  the  bdl  d«t  ^^^ 
'  *  woaki  fifliit   with  so  much   eoarefe,  l|»t  he 
would   not  yield  Ma   hold  of  faia  apliifltW, 
though  be  had  bii  legs,  and  evao  his  h«M  oat 
off,  doring    the  combat.    (See  tbe  arUele  in 
those  coloms  headed  "Canine  Valor.*;    And 
such  being  the  valor  uaUt  death  of  the  brate, 
what   combattant  can  outdo  that  T     And  as 
to  honors,  we  ask  with  tbe   learned  Erasmus 
of  aeU«i4»©,    tb»giorj  of  bk  age  •    "What 
in&roal  being,   all-powerful   in  mischief,  fills 
the  boeom  of  man  with  sach  insatiable  rage 
for  war !      If  familiarity    with  the  sight  had 
Dot  destroyed    all  sorprise    at  it,   aud  custom 
blunted  the  sense  af  its  evils,  who  could  be- 
lieve that  those  wretched  beings  are  poaeese^ 
of  rational    soub,    who  coote.id    with  ail  tlSe 
rage  of  feriesT    Robbery,    blood,   butchery, 
desolation,  confound  without  distinction  every 
thing  sacred  and   profaile."      And  we  agree 
with  Sir  Walter  Raleigh,   himself  a  scholar,  a 
statesman,  and  a  soldier,  who  declares  :  "There 
is  no  profession  more  unpropitious  than  that 
of  warriors.    Besides  the  envy  and  jealoosy 
of  men,  tbevpoils,.  rapes,  famine,  slaaghterof 
the  innocent,  devastations  and  buraings,  with 
a  world  of  miseries  laid  on  the  laboring  man 
they  are  so  hateful  to  Uod,  that  with  good  rear 
son  did  Monluc,  the  marshal  of  France,  con- 
fess, "that,  were  not  the  mercies  of  God  in- 
fioite,  it  were  in  vain  for  those  of  his  profession 
to  hope  for  any  portion  of  them,    seeing  the 
cruelties  by  them  permitted    and  perpetrated 
are  also  infinite."      And  we  add  the  opinion 
of  a    Franklin :  '  "After    much    occasion  to 
consider  the  folly  and  mischiefs  of  a  state  of 
warfare,  and  the  little  or  no  advantage  obtain- 
ed even  by  thoee|nation8  which  have  conduct* 
ed  it  with  the  most  success,  I  have   been  apt 
to  think  there  has  never  been,  nor  ever  will  be 
any  such  thing  as  a  good  war,  or  a  bad  peace. 
All  wars  are  follies,  very  expensive  and  very 
mischievous  ones.  Whra  will  mankind  be  con- 
vinced of  this,  and  agree  to  settle  their  diflSoul- 
ties  by  arbitration  ?    Were  they  to  do  it  even 
by  the  cast  of  a  die,  it  would  be  better  than 
by  fighting  and   destroying  each  other.    We 
daily  make    great   improvements   in  natural 
philosophy ;  there  is  one  I  wish  to  see  in  mor- 
al—  the  discovery  of  a  plan  that  would  induce 
and  oblige  nations  to  settle  their  disputes  with- 
out first  cutting  one  another's  throats."    And 
we  will  oonolade  with  the  opinion  of  Thomas 
Jefferson  who  states :      "I  stand  in  awe,"   it 
was  in  1798,  "at  the  mighty  conflict  to  which 
two  great  nations  (France  and  Englaud)  are 
advancing,  and  recoil  with  horror  at  the  fe- 
rociousoess  of  man.      Will  nations  never  de- 
vise a  more  rational  umpire  of  di&renoes  than 
force?      Are  there  no  means  of  coercing  in- 
jostice  more  gratifying  to  oar  nature  than  a 
waste  of    the  blood    of  thousands,   and  of  the 
labor  of   millions  of   our    fellow-creatures  7 
Wonde'fal    has  been  the  progress  of  human 
improvement  in  other  respects.      Let  us  then 
hope,  that  the  law  of  nature  will  in  time  in- 
flnenoe  the  proceedings  of  nations  as  well  as 
of  individuals,  and  that  we  shall  at  length  be 
sensible,  that  war  is  an  insttument  entirely 
ineAcient  towards  redressing  wrong,  and  mul- 
tiplies instead  of  indemnifying  losses." 

We  hope  that  soon  the  voice  of  humanity 
will  drown  the  yell  of  war,  and  a  sense  of 
eqaity  will  allow  nations  to  live  in  peace,  and 
congeniously  to  rale  themselves,  and  be 
ruled  by  our  own  laws,  interests  and  tastes, 
and  that  we  no  more  shall  honor  the  man  who 
best  knows  the  art  of  destroying  human  lifh, 
or  those  who  most  beartly  practise  the  trade 
of  bntoheriog  meo,  or  who  willingly  offer  their 

services  to  kill  at  the  eommand    of  man    ~>

Aa  ab^  writw  on  Digestioo  and  Dioteties, 
(Dr.  Oombe)  baa  very  jastly  obaerved,  that 
"tbe  grand  Yule  is  fixiiy  the  number  and 
periods  of  our  raeale,  is,  re  proportion  thtn  to 
the  real  vanti  of  thtt  syttem  as  modt/M  ty  agt, 
sex,  health,  and  manner  of  life,  and  lu  indicat- 
ed by  the  true  returns  of  appetite.' 

The  time  required  tor  ^  digesUos^f  the 
food,  by  the  healthy  stomach,  varies  from  one 
to  three  or  foor  hoars  ;  but  hunger,  or  the 
desire  to  take  more  food,  is  oot  usoally  expe^ 
rienced  until  some  time  after  this  viscas  has 
disposed  of  its  contents.  If  fresh  fbod  be  in- 
troduced into  tbe  stomach  before  that  of  the 
previous  meal  has  been  digested,  tbe  process  of 
digestion  is  disturbed.  The  practice  of  eat- 
ing a  little  and  often  is,  for  the  most  part,  in- 
jurious ;  and  the  adoption  of  fixed  periods  for 
taking  food  is  much  more  conducive  to  health 
than  eating  at  irregular  times.  General  expe- 
rience, in  the  healthy  state  of  tbe  system,  the 
custom  of  eating  moderately  at  more  prolong- 
ed intervals  is  most  natural  to  man.  Thejlength 
of  the  interval  between  meals  must,  however> 
be  regulated  by  circumstances. 

On  account  of  the  greater  activity  of  the 
organs  of  respiration,  children  require  to  be 
more  freqnently|fed  than  adults,  and  they  bear 
hunger  less  easily    For  the  same  reason,  also, 
persons  who  take  much  exercise,  or  labor  hard, 
require  more  frequent  and  copious  meals  than 
the  indolent  and  sedentary-     In  the  farmer 
the  number  of  respirations  is  greafer  than  in 
the  latter ;    and,  therefore,  a  more  frequent 
supply  of  food  is  required  to  supply  the  nece8> 
sary  quantity  of  carbon   and  hydrogen  to  be 
consumed  in  the  lungs.      "  A  bird  deprived  of 
food,"  says  Liebig,  "dies  on  the  third  day, 
while  a  serpent,   with  its  sluggish  respiration 
can  live  without  food  three  months   or  longer. 
The  practise  of  having  fixed  periods  for  eat- 
ing is  more  conducive  t»  health  than  eating  at 
irregular  intervals.      But  it  will  be  obvious', 
from  the  foregoing  observations,  that  the  peri, 
ods  should  vary  for  different  classes  of  indiv- 
iduals.     So  strong  is  the  tendency  to  period- 
icity in  the  system,"  says  Dr.  Combe,  "that 
the  appetite  retarns  at  the  accostomed  hour, 
even  after  the  mode  of  life,  and  consequently 
the  wants  of  the  system,  Have  undergone  a 
change  ;  and  if  not  gratified  ii  again  subsides. 
Sir   George  Ballingall  even  mentions  a  regi- 
ment quartered  at  Newcastle,  in  which  typhus 
fever  was  very  prevalent,  and  in  which,  of  all 
the  means  used  to  check  its  progress,  nothing 
proved  so  succesful  ns  an  early  breukfast  of 
warm  cofiiBe.     In  anguish  countries,  also,  ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the   proportion  of 
sick  among  those  who  are  exposed  to  the  open 
air  before  getting  any  thing  to  eat,  is  infinitely 
greater  than  among  those  who  have  been  forti- 
fied by  a  comfortable  breakfast. 

In  some  constitutions,  especially  those  de- 
nominated delicate,  much  exercise,  either  of 
body  or  mind,  before  breakfast,  operates  in- 
jarioasly ;  producing  exhaustion,  languor,  aod 
unfitness  for  the  ordinary  occupations  of  the 
day. 

These  facts  show  the  importance  of  break- 
fasting soon  after  rising  and  dressing ;  at  least 
in  many  cases.  I  am  fully  aware  that  there 
are  numerous  exceptions  to  tfaiiA.  Some  per- 
sons not  only  suffer  no  injoty  firom,  but  ac- 
tually appear  to  be  benefited  by,  active  exer- 
cise taken  before  breakfast ;  its  effect  being 
with  them  to  create  or  aognment  the  appe- 
tite. But  in  others  the  efiects  are  those 
which  I  have  already  stated.  For  travellers

These  are  thy  Gods  O  Israel. 

When  once  in  the  wilderness  the  sovereign 
people  wanted  to  manage  their  own  business' 
and  to  rule  in  their  own  way,  the  majorUu  of 
eleven  ayes  against  one  nay  (eleven  tribf  s 
were  for,  and  tbe  only  one,  that  of  Levy,  was 
against)  carried  it.  and  the  choice  fell  upon — 
the  calf,  and  the  delighted  crowd'  exulting  in 
their  choice,  exclaimiedi  "These  are  thy  Gk>ds 
(rulers,  leaders)  0  Israd.  To  such  an  issue 
it  must  come  whereever  blind  power  with  a 
momeDtum,  is  allowed  full  sway. 

W  e  are  led  to  these  remarks,  by  an  interest- 
ing little  item  relative  to  the  late  elections,  in 
the  Atlantic  states.  And  sicoe  in  a  demo- 
cratic republic,  every  elector  is  a  sovereign  ; 
for  he  actually  rules,  and  sets  up  our  rulers, 
we  hold  up  to  view  a  few  of  our  sovereigns, 
introducit^  them  with  "These  are  thy  Gods 
(rulers,  for  this  idea  it:  contained  in  the  ori- 
ginal) 0  Israel."  The  Eastern  papers  state  : 

In  Baltioiore  the  election  was  characterized 
by  riot  and  bloodshed.  Tbe  streets  of  the 
city  presented  the  qniet  of  despotism.  Many 
places  of  business  were  closed  ;  all  were  clos- 
ed in  Baltimore  street  before  night.  Lare;e 
bands  of  rowdies  are  in  posseraioo  of  the  city. 
A  Oerman  was  shot  in  the  Second  ward. 
One  roan  wae  shot  bad?y  in  the  head  in  the

sident of  the  Rip  Raps  was  shot  in  the  side, 
dangerously.  The  Second  ward  Rough  Skim 
patrolled  in  tbe  vicinity  of  Snell's  in  platoons 
with  rifles.  The  Know  Nothmg  majority  will 
be  very  large.

Notice 

Jkrubalem. — Mr. Joseph  Haliva,  son  of 
the  late  ftev. A  Haliva,  wishes,  tJurough 
our  columns,  to  warn  the  community'  and 
especialy  our  Australian  brethern,  against 
the  practice  of  sending  theia  charitaWe  oon- 
tributious  to  the  Holy  Land  through 
messengers.  He  urges  that  such  collect- 
ions are  often  undertaken  for  the  benefitof 
some  single  congregation,  that  c«ily  verr 
small  portions  of  such  collections  reach 
their  destination,  and  that  the  objects  of 
the  charitable  donors  would  be  much 
more  effectively  obtained  if  they  were  to 
send  their  contributions  to  the  old  and 
tried  ftiend  of  liie  Holy  Land,  Sir  Mosea 
Monteiiore,  or  tbe  Rev  S.M.  Isavc

Grbkaxt.— Tbe  "Gaaette  of  Judaism"  con- 
tains some  intevaetilig  statistics,  firom  which 
the  reoMrkabte  Hat  appears,  that  the  motttcd- 
ity  aaoag  the  Jatrn.  At  all  periods  of  lift,  even, 
in  iniaocy,  is  oooh  less  than  that  of  any  other 
popolation.  The  startling  rerait  is  the  same, 
whether  the.statiities  of  mortality  submitted  to 
examination  refer  to  Hungary  or  any  part  of 
Germany.  The  author  of  t^  work  Arom  which 
the  "Gaeette"  borrows  its  materials  accounts 
for  this  extraordinary  fact  by  t^  great  care 
beetonvd  by  Jewish  mothere  on  their  ohildreo 
daring  infancy —Ibid. 

This  fbot,  is  traceable  tiiroagh  the  m'ddle 
ages.wheo  plagues  decimated  several  times 
the  inhabitonts  of  Europe,  the  Jews  were 
spared  so  api^reciably,  that  their  immunity 
roused  suspicion  and  caosed  persecutions  a- 
gainst  them.  Wo  ascribe  this  exemption  to  tbe 
Mosaic  laws  of  chastity,  observed  hitherto  in 
our  Eunilies,  and  to  the  dietetic  laws  which 
piohibit  eating  blood,  certain  portions  of  indi- 
gestible fat,  swines  flesh,  and  animals  affected 
by  disease,  or  dying  of  themselves. — En*

another  pint  is  recited  in  his  honor.  After 
tbe  reading  of  tbe  section  of  the  law,  the 
faithful  make  offerings  in  his  honor,  every  one

Italt. —  Milano.  A  correspondent  to  the 
Lien  f  Israel  etatev,  that  ainoe  tbe  revolutioa 
of  1848,  the  political  stat«  of  the  affairs  of  tbe 
Jews  of  Italy  has  considerably  improved  ;  par- 
ticularly at  Piemont  There,  the  question  ia 
no  more  about  toleration,  but  of  rights,  whioh, 
in  that  country,  the  Jew  enjoys  equally  with 
other  denominations,  as  in  France  and  Bel* 
gium.  Also  iu  the  duohy  of  Parma  the  Jews 
are  emancipated ;  but  "it  is  to  be  regretted," 
says  the  Zeitung  des  Judenthutns,  "that  the  five 
eoogregaiions  of  the  dnehy  have  no  rabbi : 
and  what  religious  progress  oan  we  expect 
without  olerieal  guidance  f"^  • 

It  seems  that  the  editor  of  tbe  Zeitunff  de 
Judenthum*  does  not  favor  the  mode  adopted 
by  the  synagogue  of  the  United  States,  which* 
instead  of  listeniBg  to  clerical  advice,  puts  the 
clergyman  under  implicit  obedience  of  the 
people,  adopting  tbe  adviee  of  Jefferson,  that 
the  true  doctrine  is,  "man  in  offioe  should  al- 
ways be  obedient  to  the  people."  The  beat 
way  of  deciding  whether  Dr.  Philipeobn  or 
the  Ameriean  synagogue  is  right  ia,  by  refer- 
ring to  Moa<%  Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  Ezekiel,  Eli- 
jah— and  all  the  taachera  of  mankind-

he  maintained  during  bis  reign,  viz :  "Prussia

We  already  stated  in  our  eolnmns  [  No  S8 
page  S02  ]  tbat  the  Jews  of  India  distinguish 
themselves  in  the  armies  and  that  few  of,  tbem 
retire  without  attaining  the  rank  of  o£Reer. 

We  will  uow  add  tbe  following  items  from 
Zeitung  des  Judenlhums  and  the  Mensnger,  for 
comment  on  which  we  beg  to  refer  to  our  edito^ 
rial.  An|ArtioIe  of  the  Augsburg  Gazette,  writ- 
ten by  a  man  well  posted  on  the  subject  of  the 
revelt  of  the  Indo-  Empire,  refers  to  the  dia- 
•otion  totinbe  made  between  the  Bengal  army 

nd  that  of  the  President  of  Bombay. 
The  former  consists  of  Hindoos  of  the    first 
caste,  while  that  of  Bombay, -of  Hindoos  of  the 
lo  west,Musselman,  Parses,  Christians,  aod  Jews . 

The  latter  have  showed  themselves  extraord- 
"arily  brave  and  faithful".     To  this  it   >•     "- 
pressedly    stated  "    The  Jews  in  the  Bombay 
army,  have  always  been  our  favorita  soldiers. 

Many   have    risen   to  the  rank    of  offloers. 
These  Jews  are  obedient  and  make  efoellent 
so  Idlers' . 

In  eonneotion  with  this  item  we  give  the 
following  from  the  Messenger 

Our  CSoreligionista  at  Bombay.

The  Camel. 


(Concluded  from  page  866.) 

Authorities  differ  with  respect  to  the 
oaiTiels  capabilit/  of  endurjug  diirst. 
•From  the  data  collected  by  Burckhardt, 
It  appotars  that  tJie  power  varies  much  ia 
the  tUfferent  raoes  of  the  camel,  or  rather, 
♦ooording  to  the  habits  respecting  the  ex- 
ercise of  this  fikcuJty  which  have  been 
been  ftrmed  or  exacted  by  the  heath  or 
told,  the  abundance  or  paucity  of  water, 
and  the  state  of  vegoUtion  in  the  coun- 
try iu  which  they  h^ve  been  brought  up. 
Thus  the  camels  of  Anatolia,  during  u 
•uipmer  journey,  require  water  every 
second  day,  while  the  catnels  of  Arabia 
can  dispense  with  it  until  thie  fourth,  or 
even  the  fifth  day.  But  theu  again  much 
depends  on  the  season.  In  spring,  when 
the  herbage  is  green  and  succuleut,  it 
supplies  as  much  moisture  as  the  animal's 
stomach  requires ;  at  that  season,  there- 
fore, the  journey  across  the  great  Syrian 
desert  I'lom  Damascus  to  Baghdad  {iwm- 
ty  five  days)  may  be  performed  without 
any  water  being  required  by  or  given  to 
the  camels ;  at  that  time  of  the  year  only, 
therefore,  a  route  destitute  of  water  can 
be  talcen.  In  summer  the  route  by  Pal- 
myra is  followed,  in  which  wells  of  water 
can  be  found  at  certain  distances.  Burck- 
hardt reckons  that,  all  over  Arabia,  four 
entire  days  constitute  the  utmost  extent 
to  ^hich  the  camel  is  capable  of  enduring 
thirst  itt  sunxnwir.  In  case  of  absolute 
necessity,  an  Ara^bian  camel  may  go  five 
day*  without  drinking,  but  the  traveller 
must  never  rei^kon  on  such  an  extraordin 
try  oiroiunstancc.  The  animal  shows 
manifest  signs  of  distress  after  three  days 
of  abstinence.  The  traveller  last  named 
lihrows  much  discredit  on  the  popular 
story  of  the  reserved  aupply  of  water  in 
the  camel's  stomach,  for  the  ^e  of 
irhich  the  animal  is  said  to  be  often  slain 
by  bis  thirsty  master. 

It  ia  i^pity  to  contradict  the  pleasing 
pictH^e  .which  Ali  Bey  draw«  of  the  peace- 
ftil  dispositions  of  camels  ;  but  the  truth 
tnust  be  told,  which  is,  that  they  are  a- 
jBiong  the  most  quarrelsome  beasts  in  e.v- 
fetence.  Our  sacred  records,  being  mpre 
true,  never  praise  the  camel,  and  Kitto 
justly  remarks: 

"The  camel,  although  it  may  be  reaso*- 
ftbly  honest,  is  anything  but  patient  or 
guilikst.  On  the  contrary,  of  »11  the 
animals  which  have  been  domesticated 
ft>r  higher  purposes  than  to  serve  man- 
kind merely  as  food,  the  camel  is  past  all 
doubt,  tht  most  churlishy  irascible,  revenge- 
ful and  self-willed.  We  hav*  heard  of 
'\iironsi  atiachments  between  man  and  all 
bthoj  domestic  aijimals :  but  never  be- 
tween a  man  and  his  cdmel.  Of  all  the 
f(reatiir*s  promoted  to  be  man's  compan- 
on  in  travel  and  in  rest,  no  one  so  nn- 
loving  and  unloved  as  tho  camel  exists 
Its  very  dountenanoe,  whioh  the  inexpe 
rienced  call  patient,  is  the  very  imperso- 
nation of  ihalioe  fnd  ill-nature — even 
when  its  eyes  are  not  kindled  up  into  ac7 
tive  spite,  and  when  its  mouth  does  not 
quiver  with  burning  rage.  Even  among 
themedvu  quarrel*  are  very /requent ;  and 
he  who  has  been  summoned  by  their 
sharp  and  bittfCr  cries  to  witness  a  camel 
fight,  Mflfl  not  easily  forget  the  scene.  \  . 
-  It.  i^  by  toft  sheerforoe  of  the  important 
services  that  t^)^  camel  has  won  his  wa^ 
into  man^s  esteem,  in  spite  of  the  evil 
qualities  of  his  nature." 


The  desert  camels,' less  accustomed  t*> 
wdls  and  houArt  thto  tho«  of  Anatdtt* 
and  Syria,  are  with  diffiouHy'^led  throflMfc 
the  streets  of  towns  when  they  wrrr©  in 
caravam;  and  it  being  impossible  to  pre- 
vail upon  some  of  the  more  unruly  to  en- 
ter the  gates,  it  is  often  found  necessary 
to  unload  them  outside  and  to  transport 
thf  bales  into  the  town  on  asses. 

There  have  been  various  estiinatM  of 
tht  ipeed  of  the  camel.  A  sufficient 
number  of  authorities  are  agreed  in  esti- 
mating its  ordinary  pace  at  two  and  a 
half  miles  an  hour.  Calculations  made 
in  Syria,  B^pt,  Arabia,  and  Turkistan 
agree  in  this.  This  is  to  be  understood 
as  the  ordinary  pace  in  long  caravan 
journeys,  when  the  animal  only  /  walks. 
The  ^«addle- dromedaries  are  capable  of 
other  things,  although  it  may  be  noted 
that  the  loiig  journeys  which  it  can  per- 
form in  a  comparatively  shorty  time,  are 
in  general  effected  less  by  positive  speed 
tlian  by  its  very  extraordinary  powers 
of  sustained  exertion,  day  after  day, 
through  a  time  and  space  which  would 
ruin  any  other  quadruped.  For  short 
distances,  the  swiftness  of  a  camel  makes 
no  approach  to  that  of  even  a  common 
horse.  A  forced  exertion  in  galloping 
the  animal  cannot  sustain  above  half  an 
hour,  and  it  never  produces  a  deg^e  of 
speed  equal  to  that  of  the  common  horse 

If  a  camel  happens  to  break  a  leg,  it  is 
immediately  killed,  as  such  a  fracture  is 
deemed  incurable.  The  camel  is  laden 
as  it  kneels,  and  although  the  load  is  often 
laid  on  recent  wounds,  and  sores,  no  de- 
gree <rf  paitt  tHf  --^«»fr-&v«  induces  the 
generous  animal  to  refuse  the  load  or  at- 
tempt to  cast  it  off.  But  it  cannot  be 
forced  to  rise,  if  firom  hunger  orexceisive 
fatigue  its  strength  has  failed ;  it  will 
then  not  do  this,  even  wihout  the  load. 
Under  such  circumstances  camels  are 
abandoned  to  their  fate.  It  is  seldom  they 
get  on  their  legs  again,  although  instan- 
ces have  been  known  where  they  have 
done  so,  and  completed  a  journey  of  se- 
veral days.  Wellstedt  tells  us  he  had 
often  passed  them  when  thus  abandoned, 
and  remarked  the  mournful  looks  with 
which  they  gazed  on  the  receding  caravan. 
When  the  Arab  is  upbraided  with  inhu- 
manity, because  he  does  not  at  once  put 
a  period  to  the  ammal's  sufferings,  he 
answers  that  the  law  forbids  the  taking 
away  of  life  save  for  food ;  and  even  then, 
pardon  is  to  be  imblored  for  the  neces- 
sity which  compels  the  act.  When  death 
approaches  the  poor  solitary,  vultures 
and  other  rapacious  birds,  which  espy  or 
scent  their  prey  at  an  incredible  distance, 
assemble  in  flocks,  and,  darting  upon  the 
body,  commence  their  repast  even  before 
life  is  extinct.  The  traveller  continually 
sees  remains  of  this  faithful  servant  of 
man,  exhibiting  sometimes  the  perfect 
skeleton,  covered  with  a  shrunk  shrivell- 
ed hide,  sometimes  the  bones  only,  alto- 
gether deprived  of  flesh,  and  bleached  to 
dazzling  whitness  by  the  scorching  rays 
of  a  desert  sua.

laAVBBT  or   TBI  BULL  OOO. 

The  Bull  Dof  is  the  most  brutal  and  the 
least  intelligent  of  iU  spsciss  ;  its  depressed 
forehead,  its  uDderhaoging  jaw,  and  bloodahot 
eyes,  unite  io  formiDf  the  very  personification 
of  the  savage.  Although  capable  of  some  at- 
tachment', it  cannot  he  relied  upon  as  a  friend. 
So  utterly  without  intellect  is  the  courage  of 
tho  bull  dog,  that  it  will  attack  any  thing  that 
fives  oflbais.  This  dog  hat  never  been  a  pet 
in  the  Uuited  States  ;  b«t  in  England,  among 
a  large  cuLss  of  olllteiis,  it  is  carefullj  raised, 
and  employed  in  bull-baits— exhibitions  that 
find  BO  parallel  for  brutality  in  any  other 
country,  savage  or  reflnefi.  Ir  these  bull-baits 
the  dog,  while  fastened  Wthe  nose  of  some  un- 
fortdnaW  bull,  has  had  ^t  leg  after  another 
cut  off  with  a  knife,  to%rt  its  courage ;  and 
this  display  has  been  hailed  by  the  plaudits  of 


the  'rural  population,"  apd  by  thaeno^rtjK- . , 
m^  of  the  seioas  of  tba  Dobttit]^|,  Blp4 
t^tss  that  Akaaader  oace  wttamniabaU 
dog  attaek  a  ttuatd  Ikn,  and  Mag  vtlliw  «a 
lave  the  lion's  life,  ordersd  the  doff  to  be  tikra 
off,  "bat  the  labor  of  meo  and  all  their 
strength  was  too  little  to  loa«a  tho^e  Ireful 
and  deep-biting  teeth."  The  dog  was  then 
mutilated  by  its  keeper  after  tks  ftjgliah  tosh- 
ion,  and  not  oaly  iU  Hmbe,  but  its  body  were 
severed  from  the  Head ;  "wherat  the  king  was 
wwiderfally  moved,  and  sorrowfnUy  repeatM 
his  raihneSB  in  desiroying  a  ba«t  of  wo  mM» 
a  spirit"— a  very  natural  feeling,  one  would 
suppose,  to  every  geoeroos  mind- 
Many  years  ago  an  £ln«(li8h  ship  was  at  one 
of  oar  docks,  on  board  of  which  ^as  a  bull 
dog.  Tte  animal  was  so  f^cioos  that  he  gain- 
ed an  extensive  repu^tion.  Chained  at  the 
gangway  of  the  «bip,  he  0p«at  the  livelong 
day  in  tbd  hopeless  task  of  spaioging  at  every 
person  who  passed  along,  either  on  pleasure  or 
business.  The  owner,  first  m^te  of  the  vessel 
would  set  for  boars  and  detal  the  wonderful 
deeds  of  this  mighty  dog.  Crowds  of  idlers  dai- 
ly collected,  and  there  stood  the  hero,  or  rath- 
er, there  raved  the  insane  creature  at  the  mul- 
titndp,  each  individual  indulging  in  the  vagije 
hope,that  be  would  presently  break  loose  and 
pitch  into  somebody,  and  thus  show  his  prow- 
ess. 

Among  tha  idlers  was  au  Indian  who  occa- 
sionally visited  the  city,  and  made  a  few  pence 
by  shooting  an  arrow  at  pennies  stuck  in  the 
end  of  a  stick.  Upon  the  very  appearence  of 
the  Indian,  the  bull  dog  was  particularly  vio- 
lent, greatly  to  the  amnsement  of  the  fellow, 
who  took  malicious  pleasure  in  irritatiog  the 
anunal.  The  mate  finally  interfered,  and  told 
the  Indian  to  go  away  lest  the  dog  m  ight 
break  loose  and  eat  him  up.  The  Indian,  not 
the  least  alarmed,  in  broken  English  announced 
to  the  crowd  that  if  the  dog  was  brought 
down  to  the  ground,  and  chained  to  a  post,  he 
would,  for  five  dollar?,  fight  the  dog  with  noth- 
ing but  his  bands  and  teeth.  The  money  was 
raised,  and  the  mate,  after  expressing  much 
reluctance  at  the  idea  of  haveing  the  Indian 
killed,  brought  the  dog  down  from  tho  ship- 
and  fat  sened  him  to  a  post.  The  Indian  p«t 
away  his  bow  and  arrow,  his  knife,  laid  nis 
neck  bare,and  rolled  up  his  shirt  sleeves.  A 
ping  was  formed,  and  the  battle  commenced. 

The  Indian  approaboed  the  dog  crawliig  on 
all  fours;  barkhig  and  growling,  as  if  he  was 
one  himself.  The  bull  dog  meanwhile  jumped 
and  famed  at  the  end  of  his  chain,  gbashed  his 
teeth;  foamed  at  the  mouth,  while  his  eyes  beam- 
ed living  fire  with  irritation.  The  Indian,  how- 
ever, kept  up  his  pantomime,  and  gradually 
brought  his  face  in  fearful  proximity  to  the 
dog's  teeth.  The  mate  now  interfered,  for  he 
felt  confident  the  Indian  would  get  killed!  but 
the  crowd  bad  become  excited,  and  insisted  up- 
on "  seeing  the  thing  out."  A  mutual  silence 
ensued  between  the  combattants,  the  dog  strain, 
ing  his  chain  in  his  anxiety  to  reach  the  Indian, 
until  it  was  as  straight  and  solid  as  a  bar  of 
iron.  Suddenly  the  Indian  seized  the  bull  dog's 
acder-Iip  between  his  teeth,  and  in  an  instant 
whirled  himself  with  the  dog,  over  on  his  baek 
So  unexpected  was  the  attack,  and  so  per. 
feotly  helpless  was  the  dog,  with  his  f^t  in  the 
air  and  his  jaw  imprisoned,  that  he  recovered 
his  asto  nishment  only  to  give  fbrth  yells  of  pain 
whereon  the  Indian  shook  him  a  moment  as  a 
cat  does  a  mouse,  and  then  let  go  his  told 
The  dog  once  90 savage,  putting  his  tail  be-

The  Festival  xiflnaoturation. 

(Adapted  freia  te  Hebrew  Bflrialr.) 
(Continued  from  page  869) 


The  imminent  danger  being  overpast,  Je- 
rusalem could  joyfully  acknowledge  the  Divine 
protection.  Bat  the  period  of  peace  which 
ensued  was  not  of  long  duration.  Alexander 
died  within  a  few  years  after  his  visit  to  Je- 
rusalem. The  principal  leaders  of  bis  armies 
shared  his  conqaegts.  Alike  ambitious  and 
grasping,  each  atrove  to  raise  his  own  power 
6ii  the  rafo  of  his  compeers.  'Constant  war- 
fare devastated  the  eastern  world  ;  and,  far  as 
t^  conquests  of  Alexander  had  extended, 
rapine,  eppressioo,  and  cruelty  trampled  down 
the  unoiTeDding  inhabitants.  Judea  did  not 
escape  the  dreadful  anarchy  which  ensued  dnr- 
io^  this  destructive  warfare,  waged  by  the  ge- 
nerals and  saccesaors  of  Alexander.  Ptolemy, 
king  of  l^ypt,  assaulted  Jernaalem  on  the 
Sabbath.  The  Jews  did  not  presume  to  vio- 
ate  the  sanctity  of  tha  day  by  entering  on  the 
work  of  slaughter,  no  resistance  was  offered, 
and  Ptolemy  abused  his  bloodless  conduest  by 
carrying  away  one  hundred  thousand  cajptiv- 
es,  whom  he  settled  chiefly  at  Alexandria  io 
Egypt,  and  Cyrene.  Nor  was  he  long  left  in 
undisturbed  possession  ;  twice  was  Judea  con- 
quered by  Antigouus,  another  of  the  rival 
chieftains;  twice  regained  by  Ptolemy, under 
whose  dofluaioB  it  &em\iy  remainetl-  B«)t  Pte- 
lemy  had  by  this  time  learned  to  respect  his 
Dew  inbjecti.  He  found  them  still  as  obser- 
vant of  their  plighted  faith,  as  loyal  io  th^ir 
alliance,  as  Alexander  had  found  them  to 
be.  He,  therefore,  endeavoured  to  attach 
them  to  his  canise,  enrolled  an  army  of  thirty 
thousMid  Jews,  and  eotrnsted  the  chief  gar> 
riaons  of  the  country  to  their  care.  Under 
„tbe  mild  government  of  the  three  first  Ptolem- 
ies, Soter,  Phiiadeiphns,  and  Euergetes,  both 
the  natives  and  Alexandrian  Jews  enjoyed 
many  marks  of  the  royal  favour  ;  and  while 
nearly  all  the  rest  of  the  world  was  ravaged 
bf  war,  their  eonntry  flourished  in  profound 
peace,  aatil  the  foundiog  of  the  Syro- Grecian 
kiaccdom,  by  Selencus,  and  tiie  establishment 
of  Aotioch  as  its  capital,  brought  them  into 
the  unfortunate  situation  of  a  weak  nation 
placed  ibeiween  two  great  conflicting  monar- 
chioeti  -'Egyptians  and  Syro- Grecians  alter- 
nately wrested  the  [land  from  each  other  ; 
poape  and  seearity  fled.  Intestine  divisions 
increased  the  misfortunes  produced  by  foreign 
tyrannj,  and  eventually  led  to  the  plunder 
and  ruin  of  the  holy  city,  and  to  the  persecnt- 
ioii  and  almost'  to  the  complete  extermination 
of  its  people. 

Ani^boB,  snmamed  Epiphanes  "the  Illus- 
trlQu«/'2h&d  ascended  the  throne  of  Syria. 
'Tbis  fonfiictiog  chiefs  of  Judea  in  turn  appeal- 
ed to  fa|»  st^ure^cy  and  implored  his  aid. 
Aatidshai  ntiLed  the  quick  and  versatile  char- 
aeter  of  a  Greek,  with  the  spltndid  vdaptu- 
ooeness  and  fierce  despotism  of  an  Asiatic. 
Atnongst  the  discrepancies  of  his  worthless 
ehariibter,  must  be  reckoned  a  great  degree 
of  bigotry  and  religions  intolerance.  Fern  of 
the  most  fanatical  persecutors  of  after-ages 
equalled  the^  ruthless  attempts  of  Antiochus 
to  extern^inate  the  religion  of  th^l  Jews  and 
MlMettttt  that  of  the  Orfeeks.  Yet^the  tyran- 
nical and  m^^  sa^egc  violence  of  Antiochus 
w«m  inj^ti^d  sorely  we  may  say  providenoei- 
ally,  the  safeguard  of  the  Jewish  nation  from 
the  ^reatalt  moral  danger  to  which  if,  had 
evu^-Wa  exposed,  the  slow  and  secret,  but 
celkn  atid  ppraiciouB,  encroachment  of  Grec- 
a|nl|ii;iBen,  Gr^an  artb,  Grecian  lices,  and 
Grecian  Uolatry.  It  ronsed  the  dormant 
oaenffbt.ihumlmlQ  people,  add  united  again

nai^pnai  independence  with  zeah>os  attach-

jri  Cfui  idi^titedthe  true  patriot  with  t)w 
devout  worsbli^i  an^  taught  the  Jew  to 
know  that  hs  owes  his  allegiaooe,  first  to  his 
Gi^^apdixgct  to  the  knd  which  be  inhabits. 
Boll «(« anticipate  the  course  of  oar  narratire, 
to  #bieh  we  now  return. 

'  Two  contending  High  Priests  of  the  Jews 
outbid  each  other  in  tb3  royal  favour.  Joshna, 
who  had  ^seamed  the  Grecian  name  Jasan, 
was  forced  to  yield  to  Ito  rtcher  presenta'of 
his  brother  Onias,  who,  secure  in  the  venal 
protection  of  Antiochus,  assumed  the  name  of 
Meoelaas,  and  oppressed  his  people.  A  for- 
midable insurrection  broke  out  io  Jerusalem 
against  his  authority.  Report  magnified  it 
into  a  deliberate  revolt  of  the  whole  nation 
against  Antiochus.  He  marched  without  da* 
lay  to  Jerusalem,  put  to  death  in  three  days 
forty  thonsand  of  tbe  inhabitants,  and  seind 
as  many  mere  to  he  sold  as  slaves.  He  next 
entered  the  temple ;  and,  having  stripped  it 
of  its  coQsecrated  utensiles  and  other  treasur- 
es, he  caused  unclean  animaU  to  be  sacrificed, 
and  every  part  of  the  temple  to  be  desecrated 
with  the  most  odious  defilement.  Nor  was 
this  suflScient  to  satisfy  bis  cruelty  and  fanatic- 
ism :  he  determiiied  to  exterminate  thb  whole 
Hebrew  ra>?e ;  and  the  dreadful|  edict  was  en- 
trusted to  Apolloains,  by  whom  it  was  execut- 
ed with  as  cruel  dispatch  as  the  tnoet  sanguia- 
ary  tyrant  could  desire.  Apollonins  waited 
till  the  Sabbath,  when  the  whole  people  were 
occupied  in  their  peaceful  religions  duties. 
He  then  let  loose  hia  soldiers  against  the  un- 
resisting multitude,  slew  the  men  and  seized 
all  the  women  as  captives.  He  proceeded  to 
pillage,  and  then  to  dismantle  the  city,  which 
be  set  on  fire  in  many  places  :  He  threw  down 
the  walls,  and  built  a  strong  fortress  on  the 
highest  part  of  Mount  Zion.  which  com* 
manded  the  temple  and  all  the  rest  of  tbe  city. 
From  thi>  garrison  he  harassed  the  people  of 
the  country,  who  stole  in  with  fond  attach- 
ment to  visit  the  ruins,  or  to  oflhr  a  hasty  and 
interrupted  worship  in  the  place  of  the  sanc- 
tuary :  For  all  the  public  services  had  ceas- 
ed, and  no  voice  of  adoration  was  heard  in  the 
holy  city,  unless  that  of  the  profane  heathen 
calling  on  their  idols.  The  persecution  did 
not  end  here ;  Antiochus  issued  an  edict  for 
iucifo'mity  of  worship  throughout  his  domin- 
ons ;  and  dispatched  officers  into  all  parts  to 
enforce  rigid  compliance  with  the  decree. 
Jerusalem,  conspicuous  of  all  other  placei,  was 
exposed  to  the  utmost  fhry  of  the  royal  bigot. 
The  statue  of  the  Idol  Jupiter  Olympias,  to 
whom  the  temple  of  Jerasalem  had  been  de- 
dicated, was  erected  on  the  altar  of  bntmt-of- 
feringfc  Every  rite  of  the  Mosaic  law  and 
worship  was  strictly  prohihited  under  pain 
of  death,— a  penalty  which  many  willmg  vic- 
tim* Incurred.  The  Book  of  Macabees  records 
the  sufferings  and  the  fortitude  of  an  oppres- 
sed people.  We  refer  to  its  pages,  anj^  to 
those  of  Joeephns,  for  a  detail  of  cjlj^es 
whi<*  we  shudder  to  insert  in  onr  o^|P°"- 
The  licentious  orgies  of  the  Bachanal{irrere 
substituted  for  the  national  festival  of  th<  tab- 
ernuelts.  The  relacti»nt  Jews  weraforc 
join  in  these  disgraceful  rioU.  WhoeTe\ 
sistcd  n»et  with  inataant  death  ;  and  total 
termination  or  abandonment  of  their  holy 
was  the  alternative   offered   to  the  Hebr< 

Thus  on  the  verge  of  apostacy,  rnin, 
extermination,  nothing  could  avert  the 
which  threatened  our  ancestors,  when  it  p) 
ed  Divine  jirovidence  to  interpose  and  to 
the  remnant  of  his  people  :  Not  indeed  . 
direct  and  miraculous  intervention ;    hn 
pouring  forth  the  spirit  of  zeal  and  patriot 
awakeaing  in  tbe  minds  of  virtoons  men  < 
noble  Airing  which  leads  them  to  oonqne 
die,  and  that  generous  and  ^mfs  valour  wl 
considers  life  of  no  value  unlsss  devoted  to  1 
cadse  of  God  and  their  fatherland.    Snch  wcij 
the  sentiments  which   induced  tbe  aged  Mat- 
thatias  to  raise  the  sword  against  the  fell  op- 
prenon  of  his  people;    which  prompted  his 


tve  seBB  aohiy  to  ttaisa  tMr  Vm§  1b  dffcooe 
their  faith,  and  to  free  their  i^ared  hratbim 
from  the  rnthless]  tyranny  of  thehr  etael  per- 
secutor. One  by  o6e  ^they  ttll  wilUag  laerif- 
ioes  to  their  mo0t  saered  canse ;  bat  thai« 
noble  blood  was  not  slain  in  vaio.  OivU  and 
religious  freedom,  peace,  and  the  nndistarliad 
worship  of  the  oae  true  Gad,  were  the  glor- 
ions  rewards  of  their  toik,  their  dangers,  and 
their  death.  And  if  Scotland  jostly  glories  in 
her  Waliaoe ;  if  Gtotavos  Yara  tn  Swedra, 
William  Tell  ivi  Switserland,  have  merited  the 
gratitMhr^oT their  people  and  the  admiration 
of  poift^rity :  If  the  glorious  nanaes  of  these 
great  men,  their  noble  struggles  and  heroic 
devotion,  command  the  sympathies,  and  share 
the  veneration  of  every  true  friend  of  human- 
ity ;  that  sympathy  and  veneration  is  in  a 
much  higher  degree  due  to  Judas  Maccabaens 
and  his  worthy  brethern,  the  glorious  proto- 
types to*all  who,  in  after-ages.  Merited  the 
blessings  of  their  oppressed  and  injured  fel- 
low-men.

A  little  child  wandered  frorft  its  mo- 
ther's cottage  on  the  prairie,  in  search  of 
flowers.  Pleased  with  the  pursuit,  and  fl- 
ading  new  pleasures  the  more  she  sought, 
it  was  nearly  night  before  she  thought  of 

i  jjureturning.  But  in  vain  she  turned  hor  Steps 

V  She  was  lost  in  the  pathless  meadoWs. 

The  thick  clumps  of  trees   that   she  had 

paased  were  no  guide,  and  she   oould  not^ 

tell  whetherhome  was  between  her   and 

—  tk»  seUuig  SUA  OF-aotr 


.{. 


She  sat  down  and  wept.  She  looked  in 
•II  directions,  in  hope  of  seeing  some  one 
to  lead  her  homeward,  but  no  one  appear- 
ed. She  strained  her  eyes,  now  dim  with 
tears,  to  catch  sight  of  the  smoke  curling 
from  d3«  oot  she  had  left.  It  was  like  look- 
ing out  on  the  ocean  with  no  sail  in  view. 
She  wasAlone  in  the  wilderness.  Hours 
had  passed  since  she  had  left  her  mother's 
arms.  A  few  hours  more,  and  the  dark 
night  would  be  around  her,  the  stars 
Would  look  down  upon  her,  and  her  locks 
would  be  wet  with  the  dow. 

She  knelt  on  the  ground  and  prayed. 
Her  n\pther  in  the  cottage  was  beyond 
the  reach  of  her  voice,  but  her  heavenly 
Father,'  she  knew,  was  always  near,  and 
oould  hear  her  feeblest  or^-.  Mary  had 
been  taught  to  say,  "Our  Father,"  and  in 
this  time  of  sorrow,  when  friends  were 
,far  away,  and  there  was  r\one  to  help,  she 
called  upon  him  with  a  sincere  heart  and 
a  tearfiit  eye.  Mai^y  had  closed  her  eyes  in 

i)rayer,  and  when  she  opened  them,  com- 
brted  in  spirit,  and  almost  resigued  to 
her  fate,  willing  to  trust  God  for  the  fu- 
ture, and  to  sleep,  if  needfill.on  the  grass, 
with  his  arm  arround,  and  his  love  above 
hv,  she  espied  a  lamb.  It  was  seeking  the 
teudcrest  herbs,  among  the  tall  grass,  and 
had  strayed  away  fronn  **?'  n>other  and  t^® 
flock,  so  that  Mary  sr.w  aV  a  glMn<ie  she

heart  was  gladdened  8-  i'  she  heard  die 
voice  and  saw  the  f&cf  "t  a  friend. 

The  lamb  was  hap|,-

'►ed,  to  j^t  a  final  stop  to  tha  ravages  and 
desolatins  of  war. 

'  Tbaveread  of  a  certain  regiment  order- 
ed tomarqh  into  a  small  town,  (in  Tyrol, 
I  think,)  and  take  it.  It  chanced  that  the 
place  was  settled  by  a  colony  who  feared 
God  and  trusted  to  his  care  and  proved 
their  faith  by  works.  A  courier  from  a 
neighboring  village  informed  them  that 
the  troops  were  advancing  to  take  the 
town.  They  quietly  answered,  "if  they 
wiLt  take  it,  they  must,"  Soldiers' soon 
came  riding  in,  with  flying  colors,  and  fifes 
piping  their  shrill  delience.  They  looked 
round  for  an  enemy,and  saw  thie  farmer 
at  his  plough,  the  blacksmith  at  his  anvil, 
and  women  at  their  churns  and  spinning 
wheels-  Babies  crowded  to  hear  the  music, 
and  boys  ran  out  to  see  the  pretty  trainers, 
with  feathers  and  bright  buttons,  "the 
harlequins  of  ttoe  nineteenth  century."  Of 
course  Tiooe  of  these  were  in  a  proper  po- 
•I  sition  to  be  shot  at. 

"Where  are  your  soldier*?"  they  asked. 
"We  have  none,"  was  the  brief  reply. 
"But  we  have  come  to  take  the  town.,, 
"Well,  friends,  it  lies  before  you." 
"But  is  there  nobody  here  to  nghtt" 

"No;  wt!  ar«  all  CSurtofciafte."— ^ 

Here  was  an  emergency  altogether  un- 
provided for  by  the  miltary  schools.  This 
was  a  sort  of  resistenoe  which  no  bullet 
oould  hit;  a  fortress  perfectly  bomb  proof 
The  commander  was  perplexed. 

"If  there  is  nobody  to  fight  with,  of 
cour9e  we  cannot  fight,"  said  he.  "It  is  im- 

Sossible  to  take  such  a  town  as  this."  So 
e  ordered  the  horses'  heads  to  bo  turned 
about.

Watohmen  in  the  Beat 


In  Eastern  countries,  where  they  have 
1  clocks,  and  the  tnechanical  oontrivan- 
1  used  to  supply  the  want  of  them  are 
■  Qgly  imperfect,    and  but  rarely 
088essed,  the  method  generally  employ- 
'.  to  take  the  note  of  time,   is  by  divid- 
the  day  and   night  into  four  equal 
The  periodical  return  of  these  is 
Dounoed  by  watchmen,  some  of  whom 
h  stationed  on  high  towers,  others  pat- 
pll  fhe  various  streets  of  the  city,   while 
eir  duty  is  to  proclaim  with  a  loud  cry, 
by  instruments  of  music,  the  inter- 
»  as  they  pass.    This  is  more  partieu- 
riy  required  of  them  at  night,  in  the 
onrse  of  which  they  are  obliged,  not  on- 
r«teach  watch,  but  at  frequent   mter- 
^  In  the  progress  of  it,   to  cry  aloud  in 
^er  togive  the  people  who  depend  upon 
em  for  the  protection  of  their  lives  and 
op^rty,  assurance    that  they  are  not 
peeping  at  their   posts,  or   negligent   of 
Tieir  ohai^e.      On  these  latter  occasions, 
I  exolamatioDs  are  always  addressed  to 
«ir  camrades,   andi  generally   consist  of 
ome  expressions  in   the  form  of  a  dialo- 
"5  tending  to  encourage  one  another  in

notonous task;-T-some  watphword,  or  set

pw^in  the  same  elevated  tone,   "Bles- 
jigs  be  on  yott,"  or  "Mind  yourselver." 
he  responsibility  of  these  officers  is  very 
■^at,  for  whatever   outrages  are  perpe-

MICROSCOPICAL  VIEW  OF  A  FLEA. 


^action — in  case,  of  robbery,  by  payment 
of  an  equivalent  for  the  stolen  goods,  and 
in  cases  of  murder,  with  his  own  blood; 
and  hence,  those  who  are  appointed  to 
this  ofBce  are  obliged,  both  from  a  sense 
of  duty,  an4  from  dread  of  the  serious 
consequences  of  negligence,  to  be  con- 
stantly perambulating  the  streets,  and 
making  the  most  vigilant  efforts  to  pre- 
vent the  occurrence  of  any  disorder. 
*  The  knowledge  of  these  customs,  which 
exist  in  the  present  day  in  almost  all 
countries  of  the  East,  affords  an  obvious 
explanation  of  many  circumstances  ment- 
ioned in  the  history,  and  many  allusions 
made  in  Scriptures;  as  at  that  time,  in- 
stitutions of  the  same  nature  evidently 
prevailed.  We  may  learn  from  the  preced- 
ing observations  what  is  meant  (Judges 
vii.  19  and  in  other  passages)  by  tlie  first, 
seoond,  third  imd  fourth  watch,  these  be- 
ing the  successive  periods  into  which,  reck- 
oning their  night  to  begin  from  our  six 
o'olook,  they  were  accustomed  to  divide 
that  portion  of  time,  and  we  may  easily 
discover,  too,  how  natural  it  was  for  them 
to  use  tiiat  term  as  a  general  exprnssion 
for  the  night  aeason,  as  in  Psalm  Ixiii, 
where  the  Psalmist  speaks  of  the  time  he 
spends  in  devotion, — "When  I  meditate 
on  thee  in  the  night-watches."  To  the 
loud  and  frequent  cries  with  which  the 
return  of  these  intervals  was  made  known, 
the  Prophet  Isaiah  alludes  in  lii.  8,  where 


he  says,  "the  watchman  shall  lift  up  the 
voice;  in  Ixii.  6,  where  he  speaks  of  them 
"never  holding  their  peace  day  nor  night, 
crying  aloud,  and  keeping  not  silence ;" 
and  also  in  Ivi.  10,  where,  in  speaking  of 
careless  and  unfaithful  watchmen,  he  de- 
scribes them  as  "dumb  dogs,  dreamers, 
that  love  to  slumber."  Tne  vehemence 
of  these  nocturnal  exclamations  of  the 
watchmen,  would  frequently  awake  those 
that  were  asleep ;  and  as  to  persons  thus 
suddenly  roused,  the  quarter  of  the  night 
announced  as  having  elapsed,  would  seem 
to  have  passed  in  the  oblivion  of  their 
slumbers  with  th^  rapidity  of  a  moment, 
we  may  peroeive  the  exquisite  *  force  and 
beauty  of  tbe  simile  in  Psalm  xc.  4,  "A 
thousand  years  are  in  thy  sight  but  as  a 
watch  in  tne  night."  The  custom  of  the 
watchmen  crying  aloud  in  the  course  of 
the  watches,  and  that,  too,  by  saluting 
each  other  when  they  met,  in  the  form  of 
a  set  dialogue,  was  observed  also  by  the 
ancient  olfioers  of  this  description  among 
^  Jews — tile  watchword  being  then,  as 
^is  stili,  we  have  seen,  among  the  watch- 
men of  the  caravans,  some  pious  senti- 
ment, in  wlMch  the  name  of  the  Almighty 
was  specially  expressed.  Two  remark- 
able instan&s  of  this  occur  in  Scripture, 
the  one  is  Ip  Isaiah  Ixii.  6,  where,  speak- 
ing of  the  i|ratchmen  of  the  Temple,  \fr^ho 
were  alwaj^s  I^evites,  and  among  whom 
the  same  r<|;ulations  subsisted  as  among 


other  watchmen,  he  addresses  them  un- 
der the  poetical  description  of,»  "Ye  that 
make  mention  of  the  Lord,"  i^.,  yewhose 
watchword  is  the  name  of  thejAlmighty. 
The  other  instance  is  in  PsAlm  cxxxiv,  the 
whole  of  which,  as  is  ju«tly  observed  by 
Bishop  Lowth,  is  nothing  more  than  the 
alternate  cry  of  two  different  divisions  of 
the  watch.  The  first  watch  addresses 
the  secend,  reminding  them  of  their  du- 
ty ;  the  second  answers  by  a  solemn 
blessing.  The  address  and  the  answer 
seem  both  to  be  a  set  form,  which  each 
division  proclaimed  aloud  at  stated  inter- 
vals to  notify  the  time  of  night: 

First  band  of  watchmen. — "Bless  ye 
the  Lord,  all  ye  servants  of  the  Lprd, 
who  stand  in  the  night  itt  the  house  of  the 
Lord.  Lifl  up  your  hands  in  the  sanctu- 
ary and  bless  the  Lord." 

Second  band  of  watchmen  answer. — 
"The  Lord  bless  thee  out  of  Zion — the 
Lord  that  made  heaven  and  earth." 

According  to  the  rigid,  and  in  many 
oases  sanguinary  laws  of  the  East,  the  of- 
fice of  a  watchman  is  neither  a  sinecure 
nor  is  it  an  easy  task,  as  he  is  responsible 
fbr  the  safety  both  of  the  persons  and 
things  he  is  appointed  tc-  guard,  and  must 
pay.  Without  the  hope  of  mercy,  the  pe- 
nalty of  the  utmost  fetrthin^,  either  with 
his  fortuue  or  his  life,  for  whatever  disas- 
ters happen;  if  it  be  proved  that  the  oc- 
currence, took  place  in  consequence  of  his 
having  failed  to  give  the  alarm,  or  not 
taken  due  precautions  to  prevent  the  mis 
dnef.  The  reader  of  the  Scriptures  will 
remember  the  tremendous  effect  with 
which  the  fervid  imagination  of  Ezekisl 
employs  this  circumstance  to  pourtray 
the  responsibility  of  the  spitltual  watch- 
mien  who  are  stationed  upon  the  bulwarks 
of  Zion,  and  whose  duty  is  is  to  proclaim 
aloud  to  the  people  the  warnings,  reproofs 
and  admonitions  of  the  Word  of  God. 
"O  son  of  man,  I  have  set  thee  a  watch- 
man  unto  the  house  of  Israel ;  therefore 
thou  shalt  hear  the  word  at  my  mouth, 
and  warn  them  from  me.  When  I  say 
tmto  the  wicked,  O  wicked  man,  thou 
shaltsurely  die;  if  Ao  dost  not  speak  to 
warn  the  wicked  from  his  way,  that  wick- 
ed man  shall  die  in  his  iftiqi/ity;  but  his 
blood  will  I  require  «t  thind  hand.  Ne- 
vertheless, if  thou  warn  the  wicked  of  his 
way  to  turn  from  it;  if  he  do  not  turn 
from  his  way,  he  shall  die  in  his  inKjuity ; 
but  thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul.'*  (Eze- 
kiel  xxxiii,  8,  9.)* — Jamie  ton.

The  ftlf^ 


Fleas  bwp^  fontil'  eggs,  or  a  sort  of 
nits,  from  wkiofc  are  hatched  worms; 
these  make  ^jfkgn  like  silk -worms,  an4 
from  thesii^bags  cK>me  fleas.  They  de- 
posit their  eggs  on  dogs,  cats,  men,  and 
other  animals  infested  with  them,  or  in 
places  where  they  sleep,  which  being 
round  and  smooth,  slip  commonly  down 
to  the  ground,  or  fix  themselves  in  the 
folds  or  other  inequalities  of  the  cover- 
lets and  clothes.  From  these  are  brought 
forth  white  worms,  of  a  shining  pearl 
color,  which  feed  on  the  brwilike  sub- 
stance which  sticks  in  the  combs  when 
puppies  are  combed  to  take  out  the  fleas; 
or  on  a  certain  downy  substance  that  is 
found  in  the  folds  of  linen,  or  other  simi- 
lar things. 

In  a  fortnight's  time  they  are  very 
lively  and  active:  if  they  have  any  fear, 
or  b«  touched,  they  suddenly  roll  them- 
»ftlvitfr-ttj>,  aa4  bafloaac  as  it  ycre  ahalL 
A  little  after  they  creep  as  silk-worms 
clo  that  have  no  legs,  with  a  brisk  md 
swift  motion.  When  thay  are  come  to 
their  usual  size,  they  hide  themselves  as 
much  as  they  ca»,  and  bringing  out  of 
their  mouths  tlae  silk,  thev  make  round 
themselves  a  small  bag,  white  within  as 
paper,  but  without  always  dirty  and  loul- 
ad  with  3ust  In  two  weeks  more,  in  the 
summer-time,  the  flea  is  perfectly  form- 
ed ;  then  it  soon  leaves  its  exuviae  in  its 
bag,  as  silk-worms  and  all  caterpillars  dp  ; 
which  leave  in  the  same  their  exuviae. 
"Hie  flea,  so  long .  as  it  is  enclosed  in  the 
bag,  is  milk-white,  and  has  legs ;  but  two 
days  before  it  comes  out,  it  becomes  co- 
loured, grows  hard,  and  gets  strength,  so 
that  coming  speedily  out,  it  straight 
leaps  away. 

Fig.  1.  rapresents  the  eggf ;  fig.  2.  the 
worm;  fig.  3.  the  bag;  and  fig.  4.  the

See  the  editorial  on  the  fourth  pag«|.. 

The  flea  has  been  domesticated  by- 
some  ouijious  persons.  Thus,  the  natjir- 
alist  WiUougbby  kept  a  tf^ue  one,  which 
was  fed  not  only  with,  but  literally  out 
of,  his  own  hand,  being  permitted  to  truck 
his  blood.  Others  have  contrived  a  pig- 
my chariot,  cut  firom  the  cherry  stone,  to 
be  dragged  by  a  team  of  these  nibble 
oreaturea.  Wherever  they  swarm  it  is 
no  easy  matter  to  get  rid  of  them.  In 
order  to  prevent  being  eaten  up  by  these 
insects  and  other  v&rmin  that  infest  them 
the  Hungarian  shepherds  are  said,  .to 
grease  their  bodies  and  linen  with  lard, 
so  that  even  these  unscrupulous  torment- 
ors are  deterred  from  the  filthy  banquet. 
lliey  abound  so  much  in  the  Missouri 
oounti'y,  that  thenatives  are  ofton  oblig- 
ed to  shift  their  quarters.  Once  when 
the  late  Dr.  Clarke  was  rejoicing  at  the 
thought  of  passing  one  night  froe  from 
vermin,  his  expeotations  were  speedily 
dissipated  by  the  aheikh  of  the  district, 
who  assured  him  that  the  "king  of  the 
fleas  held  his  Court  at  Tiberias," 

The  clUffoe  or  jigger  is  a  spociea  of  this 
genus.  Tfiie  femiale  lodges  under  the  skin, 
where  it  breeds  its  young.  Formerly  the 
genus  of  the  Insect  was  a  subject  of  dis- 
pute; and  a  capuchin  friar  suffered  one 
to  breed  in  his  great  toe,  for  the  purpose 
of  bringing  it  up  to  determine  the  points 
His  scientific  «eal,  however,  cost  nim  a 
foot,  lor  the  member  containing  the  pre- 
cious depodte  having  mortified,  its  am- 
putation became  indispensable.  The  male 
is  not  very  unlike  the  common  flea.    The

Canine  Sagaoity.  i^i^h,. 

The  following  wonderfiil  inatanoe  of  car 
nine  fidelity  and  sagadty  was  made  the 
subject  of  a  monument  erected  on  the  top 
of  a  castle  which  was  built  by  G^iarles  the 
Vth  of  France,  in  the  town  of  Nemours, 
shortly  after  its  oca*rr<flioe. 

A  gentlemen  of  the  name  of.  Millar 
stood  looking  out  ot  the  windasr  of  a 
country  inn  on  a  rainy  day,  when  he  ob 
served  a  large  dog  in  a  deplorably  state  of 
pain,  and  so  lame  tiat  he  could  scarcely 
move  along  ;  he  lay  himself  down  beside 
the  door'  and  Mr-  Miller  had  him  brought 
inito  the  house,' notwithstanding  thp  strong 
expression  efdis-satisfaction  6n  the  part  of 
the,lanlord  :  the  sufferer  had  lost  an  eye, 

none  of  his  fore-legs  was  broken, 
aving  to  remain  some  time  at  the  inn, 
Mr-  Mm»'  !«tH«i8tttmd«aftOttk  l*e  cure 
of  this  unfprtimatp  an,imalj  and  in  a  short 
timie  dismissed  him  in  a  fair  wjfty  of  recov- 
ery. Beina  detained  about  a  fortnight 
i^eir  this  ocburrenoe,  Mr.  Millar  resumed 
his  journey,  and  ^oon  found,  his  late  pa- 
tient running  after  him,  on  the  iroad.  One 
evening,  as  he  was  pa^smg  over  a  healthy 
oountry,  the  carriage  broke  down,  and  he 
was  obliged  to  sena  his  servant  in  search 
of  assistance ;  but  finding  nothing  conld  be 
done  till  morning*  he  w^ked  forward  to 
eorae  place  whete  he  might  sleep  during 
the  ni^t  .^t  a  considerable  distance  he 
came  to  a  sm^l  puJjUc  house  at  rather  a 
late  hour  and  found  the  door  fastened,  and 
had  to  wait  til]  an  elderly  man  came  down 
stairs  to  give  him  admittance;  who,  after 
some  ap<uogiea,  aud  stating  that  he  was 
quite  ibne  in  the  hovse,  his  maid  having 
left  him  at  th^s  juncture,  and  his  sonbeiug 
from  home  on  buisness,  agreed  to  accom- 
modate Mr.  Millar  ^\i^  t^^,  )^h  P^  ^^ 
had  in  the  house;    ,,';,',; ,        .,  .-, 

The  dog  had  all  this  time  kept  close  to 
his  new  master,  yirhf),  aiter  having  taken 
some  refreshment'  was  shown  into  fi  small 
bed-room,  still  followed  by  the  dog  :  the 
landlord  said  the  dog  could  sloepib^low, 
but  he  kept  so  close  to  Mr.  Millar  that 
he  could  not  be  easily  seperat^,  and 
was  allowed  to  remain  vnth  him,  |the  Ian- 
lord  observing  that  he  seemed  ve?y  much 
like  a  dog  he  had   lost  some   time  ago. 

Mr.  Ikfillar,  having  undreasedhimselfi

TsAOHiR.  Do.  you  see,  children,  what  I 
hold  in  my  hiand? 

Pupils.  It  is  a  stone. 

T.  What  kind  ofastonel  I  will  tell 
you  then'  li  is  a  species  of  limestone.  We 
say  of -atones,  that  they  are  calcareous 
substances.  Calcareous  means  having  the 
nature  of  lime.  Did  jrou  ever  see  any 
limel  .^  :> 

P.  Yes  sir. 

T.Now,  if  I  were  to  break  this  little 
piece  of  limestone  in  two,  and  we  should 
find  a  cherry  stone  in  the  middle  of  it, 
what  would  yon  Ainkl  Would  you  thmk 
it  grew  there. 

P.  No,  sir.  stones  do  not  grow. 

T.  In  this  you  are  a  little  mistaken. 
Stonee  ^  sometimes  grow  at  eslavge.  W« 
say,  stones  grow;  plants  grow  and  live; 
animals  grow,  live,  and  feel.  But  tJien  you 
are  right  in  orfe  particular.  Cherry  stone* 
never  grow  in  other  stortes;  they  groW 
nowhere  but  in  the  middle  of  cherries. 

P.  Is  a  real  cherry  ever  fouiut  in  limiet 

T.  It  certainly  is. 

P.  How  could  it  get  there?  • 

T.  Did  you  ever  swallow  cherry  stones 
while  eating  the  cherries. 

P.Yes  sir 

T.  So  I  suppose.  1  onoe  did  so,  and 
thought  it  perftictlx  right. 

P  And  is  it  not? 

T.  By  no  means;  it  is  very  wrong. 

P.  What  harm  does  it  do? 

T.  it  is  hurtful  in  two  ways.  Food  which 
is  proper  for  us,  undergoes  changes  in 
our  stomachs  and  intestines,  one  objeci 
of  which  ^  to  make  blood.  But  when  W*i ' 
swallow  things  which  the  stomach  had  lio 
power  tb  act  \ijK)n  And  dtsolve,  they  irritj 
ate  the  Ifceing;  membrane  of  that  oi^tth, 
ai^  cause  soreness  aflfl  mtjch  othea  tfodllv

Atones.   •  ;'•''  r-^-->'-'-''"n-^-^

aiie  hot  d^solVedin  as,  what  then  becomes

T.  Afl^f  <AiiJ«|h^  good  deal  ot  trotiWe

ttiainder  are  candied  along  by  the  inoti^ 


of  the  inteetines;  and  thrown  out  of  th«  ^ 
body 

P.  Do  these  thhaga  hurt  everyjhodyl 

.  T.  Yes,  they  hurt  every  body,  more  or 
l)ps8;but  some  mliofa  more  than  otbera,Aj 
to'  guinea  ohere  ia  aftothor  way  in  wkich

gather  round  them,  411  *ay  *fecome  as 
large  as  this  st^ne  Sv  hiflk  I  nave  shown 
you.  Cherry  stones  hav#tven  been  known 
to  grow  larger  than  this — almost  as  large 
as  a  goose  egg. 

P.  Do  they  kill  people  when  they  grow 
in  them? 

T.  They  are  apt  to  do  so.  They  cause 
pain  in  the  body,  and  finally  obstructioM, 
so  that  even  physic,  as  it  is  callhd,  cannot 
remove  them.  At  length,  after  much  sn/ 
fering,  death  ensues,  and  on  eScatpitatioi 
after  death,  (for  you  know  it  cannot  hurt 
the  body  to  open  and  examine  it,  after 
the  person,^  4ead,>  subWwMjfe^^-ara  fouad 
like  those  I  hatve  ditecHhed,   '  ' 

P.  How  can  thia  t>e  true?.  For  somany 
people  swallow  cherry  stonep,  that  if  it 
were  so,  We  shcrtiW  think  they  •^ould  be 
dying,  in  cherry  time,  every  diy. 

T.I  will  telV^you  howthAt  Ip.  In  tk 
first  place,  the  limy  substance  does  not 
form  around"  the  cherry  stones  very  fast. 
Then,  in  the  secofld  place,  they  do  not 
oft«n  lodge  in  this  manner.  Somier  or  la- 
ter, in  mdst  people,'  thely  find  their  way 
through  the  k<^j,:  Perhaps  ,  not  more 
than  one  person  in  a  hundred  (fr  a  thous- 
and finally  dies  on  account  of  them.  Some, 
however,  as  I  have  told,  you,  certainly 
suffer  in  this  Why,  and  whenever  they  do 
suffer  at  all,  the  suffering  is-great.  And 
since  no  one  who  swallows  such  things  can 
b6  quite  certain  that  he  may  not  be  the 
sufferer,  will  it  not  be  wise  in  every  My 
to  avoid  them? 

P.  It  will. 

t.  And  so  I  hope  you  wUl  be  carefii' 

not  to  swidisy  oUakijPl^B^  ^'^^^^'f  y

(Cottelu4ed,  from  page  376.) 

Ib  tfodio,  a  Tillage  of  Judea,  on  an  etni- 
ponmaadiof  a  vi«w,  llred  Mattafhi^s 
I '  iBKD  of  the  Bsc^rdotsi  Hne,  witfa  his 
fa^mm  Ta»aa>n,  SinoB,  Jodas,  Kleanr,  and 
Ju— llwil  all  in  the  prime  ef  life.  H«  often 
laBsirted  before  his  sons  the  wretched  state  of 
their  peeple,  aad  waa  accostomed  to  say  that 
it  was  far  more  nobI«  to  sacrifice  their  lives  in 
(kftoee  of  their  religion,  their  laws,  and  their 
QOBBtrj,  than  to  live  as  a^ottatas  and  slaves. 
The  opportoaity  of  Tindtcating  bis  prbriples, 
•od  ol  proving  that  they  were  those  of  his 
goal,  net  merely  of  his  lips,  was  soon  afforded 
tp  MiB.  Apelles,  a  royal  oiBoer,  arrived  at 
Vadio,  to  eaforce  tha  edict  for  aboliahing  the 
NljgioB  and  lawa  of  the  Jews.  He  first  ap- 
pliad  to  Mattathiaa,  the  bwd  whose  prisatly 
Mid  high  moral  character  gave  him  the  first 
rank  io  the  place,  and  the  inflaence  of  whose 
example  would  insure  willing  obedience  te  the 
decree  of  Antiocbos.  Threats  and  promises 
were  alike  resorted  to  by  Apeilse,  but  io  vain- 
MaUathiaaaohlyrei^ittd,  that,  tooagb  every 
otfaar  person  submitted,  he  woald  ilatker  die 
than  forsake  the  laws  of  the  great  Qod  of  Is- 
rael, and  ocfaorted  his  five  sons  to  follow  his 
example.  The  altercation  which  ensued  \i^ 
6«me  aggravated  hy  an  apoat^te^  who^  in  the 
presenoe  of  his  indignant  coDtrymen,  sacrificed 
to  the  idols  whose  worship  the  royal  decree 
MWBaaded.^  "He  felt  by  «he  kaod  of  MatU- 
thiaa ;  Afltlif*  bivself  aod  ^is  attendants  were 
attacked  and  slain,  and  the  men  of  Modin  re- 
tired to  the  mountains.  Many  true  and  zealoas 
Jieva  joined  them,  and  rallied  round  the  stand- 
.9ii of  Araedom  which  Mattathias  and  his  sons 
•rseted.  Sacoess  attended  their  undertakings 
which  were  eoodncted  with  equal  enterprise 
and  discretion.  For  a  time  Mattathias  and 
hia  followers  lay  hidden  in  the  noamain  fast" 
nesBes ;  and,  as  opportunity  ofRsred,  attacked 
the  towns,  destroyed  the  heathen  altars,  en 
forced  clrcamcision,  re-established  synagogues 
for  pablie  worship,  and  drove  off  such  of  the 
bag's  oflcers  as  were  appointed  to  enforce 
idolatry. 

ThavaMraUe  HattathhM  did  not  long  sur- 
vive these  first  saccessee.  Dying,  he  entrast- 
ed  the  command  to  the  most  valiant  of  his 
BODS,  Jadaa  suraamed  "''y^O^  "Maccabaeus." 
It  is  supposed  this  name  was  given  from  the 
inaoription  of  his  banner,    the  initials  of  the 

words  "n  D^SiO  TIOD  »0".  "Who  is 
IHn  oatothee  among  the  Gods,  OLordT" 
(Efodttirv.  ll.)f  The  new  leader  provedhim- 
self  wen  worthy  of  the  paternal  confidence,  add 
fal^  equal  )k>  the  exigencies  of  those  stirring 
tiflMs.  Having  tried  his  soldiers  by  many 
idlaot  adventures,  sarprising  many  eitiea 
which  he  garrisoned  and  fortified,  as  places  of 
reftige  to  bis  oppressed  bretfaem,  Jndaa  at 
length  determined  to  meet  the  enemy  in  the 
field.  AppoUonios,  Governor  of  Samaria,  who 
marched  against  him,  was  totally  defsated- 
He  himself  fell  in  single  combat  with  Jada* 
who  took  his  sword  as  a  trophy,  which  ever 
After  he  osed  in  battle.  Seron,  Governor  of 
Coelo^yria,  Was  next  defeated  by  Judas  with 
great slaaghter.  itJ  wti. 

Antiochns,  informed  that  the  peofitle,  whom

forth  a  very  formidahle  army  of  forty  theu-

trehi  oame  namerons  slave-merchants ;  for  the 
royal  will  of  Antiocbuahad  decided  that  the 
oenqaered  Jews  should  be  sold,  in  order  to  re- 
pletiish  hieexhaasted  treaaariee.  To  meet  this 
formidable  host,  Judas  could  number  bat  six 
thoosand  follewera.  In  strict  conformity  with 
the  commands  of  the  law,  he  proclaimed  that

parmissiao;  Wfihtboae  fm  who 
the  consoaimate  generalship  of  Jodas,  und^r 
prDVldeilce,  ebtaioed  a  decisive  victory,  tbe 
rich  booty  of  the  camp  fell  into  the  hands  of 
the  Jews,  who.  withjupt  retribution,  sold  for 
llaves  as  many  of  the  slave  merchants  as  they 
j^ttld  find-  N^p^rpqs  other,;  battles  were 
foaght  with  similar  good  puecess.  The  next 
year  tl^  king'a  lieutaoant,  L^sias,  appeared  in 
persoo  at  the  bead  of  sixty  thopaaod  foot  and 
five  thoosand  horae.  Jodas  marched  forth  to, 
Bseet  him  at  the  head  of  ten  thousand  Jews, 
defeated  hiaa,  and  forced  bin  to  retreat. 

Thus  trianphaot,  \lctor8  in  every  well-con- 
tested field,  Jodas  and  his  gallant  followers 
entered  Jerusalem.  Freedom  of  conacJenoe, 
and  the  undisturbed  worship  of  their  God,  had 
been  the  potant  motives  which  made  them 
draw  the  sword  agaioet  their  haughty  and  bis 
gotted  opprassore.  Crowned  with  sacoese, 
they  now  prepared  to  restore  the  worship  to 
Rs  ancient  purity  and  aptendoar.  They  found 
the  gates  of  the  temple  burnt,  and  the  Baacta>< 
ary  abandoned  ;  shrubs  aud  weeds  cevered  the 
courts,  and  desolation  h»d  spread  its  ruthless 
hand  over  every  part  of  the  splendid  pile- 
With  tearful  eyes,  but  heartfelt  gratitude, 
Jndas  and  his  men  oommenced  the  task  of  re- 
pairing, cleansing,  and  conseerating  the  aacred 
buildings.  The  holy  utensils,  the  Uble  of 
ahew-bread,  the  candlesticks,  and  the  altar  of 
incense,  all  pure  gold,  were  made  anew,  and 
replaced  in  the  sanctuary ;  and  the  temple 
was  again  inaugurated,  on  the  twenty-fifth 
day  of  the  mouth,  precisely  thrae  years 
after  its  profanation  and  pillage  by  AntiochoB- 
The  Talmud  [treatise,  Sabbath,  chap,  ii.]  re- 
lates, that  when  every  preparation  for  the  in- 
angatatioa  was  completed,  no  consecrated  oil 
could  be  found  for  the  sacred  lighta  ;  aud 
the  scrupulous  Judas  justly  feared  to  conta- 
minate the  purity  of  the  temple  by  uaing  oil 
which  had  been  defiled  by  idolaters.  In  this 
strait,  a  small  jar  of  oil,  with  the  seal  of  the 
former  High  Priest,  still  inviolate  was  fonnd  j 
and  though  the  quantity  which  it  contained 
was  barely  sufficient  once  to  light  the  sacred 
lamps,  yet,  by  the  special  blessing  of  (he  Deity, 
it  proved  sufficient  for  the  consumption  of  a 
whole  week  ;  during  which  period  new  oil  was 
obtained,  and  consecrated.  In  honor  of  this 
manifestation  of  the  divine  blessing,  we  bu^n 
the  lights  of  n^lin.  <"■'  "t^'*  inaugnration>" 
while  our  prayers  and  thanksgivings  convey 
our  gratitude  to  the  Most  High,  who  nerved

firom  extermination  and  apostasy .

FRIDAY,  DECEMBER  18 ,  5628.(18S7) 


Transition,  the  Law  ofWature. 

Tlie  microscope  has  been  a  means  of 
revealing  to  our  «ye  a  new  world  of  creat 
Ton  with  its  wonders.  WTial  we  npvv t)e- 
hold  and  no  person  denies,  would,  before 
the  invention  of  that  useful  instrnnient, 
never  have  been  believed.  We  introduce 
these  micro8ct)pio  objects  into  oura'jlunins 
not  merely  on  account  of  their  intef  est, 
but  for  the  purpose  of  holding  to  view 
the  marvellous  works  of  God  hitherto 
unnoticed;  as  also  with  a  view  of  showing 
that  there  are  more  oVyects  than  eye  has 
seen  or  ear  has  heard  of.  And  if-a^iew 
pieeea  of  glass  ground  convexly  haveoe- 
comc  a  means  of  displaying  to  our  phy 
sical  sight  new  worlds,  why  should  our 
unbelief  refuse  accepting  the  sublime 
truths  of  Immortality  and  Eternity, 
which  are  preached  to  us  s;)  audibly  by  a 
world  round  us,  and  of  which  we  have 
the  testimony  of  instruction  within  us? 
Our  exit  from  this  into  another  world  is 
a  transition,  a  passing  from  one  state  in- 
to another,  a  farther  development:  4nd 
seeing  such  continually  in  process  before 
our  eyes  in  obje^-ts  below  us,  are  not  we 
supplied  by  them  with  sufficient  evidence 
that  the  same  law  will  apply  to  us?  Be- 
fore man  reaches  his  present  state,  he 
has  Dasscd  nil  those  phases  alreadv  which 
we  observe  the  lower  animals  to  go 
through.  lie  appears  here  in  a  low  state 
of  animal  perfection,  much  lower  than 
the  sheep,  the  ass,  or  the  horse.  After 
the  lapse  of  a  few  years,  he  not  only  has 
reached  their  state,  but  he  even  has  con 
siderably  overtaken  them;  and  that  not 
only  in  his  animal  development,  but  in 
his  rationality.  At  a  certain  period 
his  animal  system  has  reached  its  highest 
state  of  development,  it  yields  to  the  in- 
roads of  time;  one  portion  after  the  other 
gives  way,  while  his  mentality  continues 
to  perfect  itself  notwithstanding  his  grad- 
ual physical  decay.  Instances  occur  con- 
tinually when  the  spiritual  light  in  man 
becomes  more  and  more  visible  the  more 
the  clay  gamment  round  him,  his  body 
breaks  and  its  final  bursting  the  death 
of  the  body,  (if  we  may  say  so)  causes  a 
burst  of  internal  light  to  shed  forth  that 
makes  the  beholders  wonder  and  experi- 
ence "surely  there  is  hope  to  man  in 
death"  Arov.  14:  82. 

We  give  our  readers  this  time  an  in- 
stance of  animal  development  and  pro- 
gress of  a  little  familiar  insect,  "The 
Flea."  We  see  it  first  in  the  egg  (life- 
less) ;  then  in  the  state  of  progress  in 
the  shape  of  a  worm  (•ndowed  with  life) 
but  not  so  far  advanced  as  in  the  latter 
state  when  a  full  developed  flea.  All  these 
states  are  so  different  from  each  other, 
that  we  ooald  not  recognise  in  them  the 
same  msect  in  its  difierent  states  of  de- 
velopment. And  all  these  transitions 
are  the  laws  of  nature  to  which  w©  like- 
wise afe  subject.  So  far  about  trans 
ition. 

We  will  hint  at  the  care  Providence 
takes  of  this  tiny  insect,  what  provision 
she  makes  for  it;  and  if  such  is  evinced 
in  behalf  of  such  an  insignificant  (and  for 
the  infiinite  millions  less  important  creat- 
ures) unknown  and  unseen  to  itself,  what 
must  not  be  done  for  man  though  he,  in 
his  sphere,  can  as  little  see  above  him- 
self as  the  little  insect  o  ui  above  itself. 
And  no  doubt  higher  beings  make  the 
same  observations  ^bout  man,  as  man 
makes  about  the  beings  beneath  him. 

Man  is  here  in  a  state  of  development 
and  progress;  as  an  animal  he  reaches 
here  his  ultimatum  ^end)  ;  but  as  an  in- 
tellectual being  he  leaves  this  earth  in  a 
state  of  infancy  to  grow  to  manhood  after 
his  sasond  birth — his  physjcal  death. 
And  as  the  stafe  of  the  embryon  influen- 
ces the  infant,  that  of  the  infant  the  child, 
that  of  the  child  the  man,  and  that  of  vi-

our  state  hereafter.  Cripple  your  loul 
here  in  its  infancy,  and  you  will  continue 
such  to  your  grief  and  selfreproach  here- 
after. 'Rise,  and  elevate  yourself  orithe 
wings  of  fifiith,  clinging  to  God  and  ]}Iac^ 
ing  yourself  on  the  firm  basis  of  homsty 
flud  virttie,  cleaving  to  it  as  theoyst^  to 
the  rock,  and  you  will  be  born  aiiin, 
before,  and  at  the  hour  of  your  «it ; 
when  "passing  through  the  valley  oj  Ba- 
ca (weeping)  it  will  be  made  a  wel,  (a 
source  of  happiness  and  eternal  biss) 
you  will  proceed  from  power  to  p<wcr

Vision  of  Charles  XI  of  Swede>. 


We  give  as  a  matter  of  curiosity  the 
following  article  as  we  find  it  iu  the  "  Cabi- 
net of  Curiosities." 

ITie  followLng  singularnarration  oeurs 
in  the  Rev.  J  T.  Jamc's  Travels  in  Sved- 
en,  Prusia,  Poland,  &c.  during  the  y»ars 
1813and  1814. — ITie  mostmarvelouspart 
of  the  affair  is,  that,  as  the  reader  willst^e, 
no  loss  than  six  persons  (themonarch  ire;lu- 
sive )  concur  in  testing  the  reality  of  the 
vision. 

Charles  the  XL  it  seems,  sitting  in  his 
chamber  between  the  hours  of  eleven  i.nl 
twelve  at  night,  was  surprised  at  the  >p- 
pearance  of  a  light  in  the  window  of  ihe 
hall  of  thediet  :  he  demanded  of  thegraid 
Chancellor,  Bjeke,  who  was  i  resent,  wlat 
it  was  that  h?  saw,  and  was  answeied 
that  it  wasonly  the  reflection  of  theino«n; 
with  this,  however,  ha  was  not  satisfied : 
and  the  senator,  Bjeke,  soon  after  enter- 
ing the  loom,  he  addressed  the  same  to 
him,  bnt  received  the  same  answer-  Look- 
ing afterwards  again  through  the  window, 
he  thought  he  observed  a  crowd  of  persons 
in  the  hall :  upon  this,  said  he,  Sire,  yi  is 
not  as  itshonld  be — in  the  confidence  that 
be  who  fears  God  need  dread  nothing, 
I  will  go  and  see  what  this  may  be.  Ord- 
ering tha  two  noblemen  before-mentioued- 
as  also  Oxenstiern  and  Brahe,  to  accom, 
pany  him,  he  sent  for  Grunsten,  the  door 
keeper,  and  descended  the  staircase  lead- 
ing to  the  hall. 

Here  the  party  seem  lo  have  been  sen- 
sible of  a  certain  degree  of  trepidttion, 
and  no  one  else  daring  to  open  the  door, 
the  king  took  the  key,  unlocked  it,  aid  en- 
tered first  into  the  ante-chamber.  To 
their  infinite  surprise,  it  was  fitted  up  with 
black  cloth.  Alarmed  by  this  extrkordi- 
nary  circumstance,  a  second  pause  occurr- 
ed ;  at  len^^tb  the  king  set  his  foot  with- 
in the  hall,  but  fell  back  in  astoni8|]meDt 
at  what  he  saw  ;  again,  however,  taking 
courage,  he  made  his  companions  promise 
to  follow  him,  and  advanced.  The  hall 
was  ligheed  op  and  arrayed  with  the  same 
moarnful  hangings  as  the  ante-chamber  : 
in  the  centre  was  a  round  table,  where 
sat  sixteen  venerable  men,  each  with 
large  volumes  lying  open  before  them  :, 
above  was  the  king,  a  young  man  of  six- 
teen or  eighteen  years  of  age,  with  the 
crown  on  his  head  and  sceptre  in  his 
hand.  On  his  right  hand  sat  a  person- 
age about  forty  years  old,  whose  face 
bore  the  storngest  marks  of  integrity  ;  on 
bis  left  an  old  man  of  seventy,  who  seem- 
ed very  urgent  with  the  young  king  that 
he  should  make  a  certain  sign  with  his 
head,  which  as  often  as  he  did,  the  ven- 
erable men  struck  their  hands  on  their 
books  with  violence. 

Turning  my  eyes,  says  the  king,  a  little 
further,  I  beheld  a  scaffold  and  execution- 
ers, and  men  with  their  clothes  tucked  up, 
cutting  ofi"  heads  one  after  another  so  fast, 
that  the  blood  formed  a  deluge  on  the 
floor  :  those  who  suffered  were  all  yonng 
men.  Again  I  looked  up,  and  perceived 
the  throne  behind  the  great  table  almost 
overturned  :  near  to  it  stood  a  man  of 
forty,  that  seemed  the  protector  of  the 
kingdom.  I  trembled  at  the  sight  of 
these  things,  and  called  alond — "It  is  the 
voice  of  God !  —  What  ought  I  to  under- 
stand?—  When   shall  all   this  come   to 


pass?"  A  dead  silence  jrevailed:  but 
on  my  crying  oat  a  second  n  Jie,  the  yoong 
king  answered  me  saying,  "This  sbitll  not 
ttappeu  in  yonr  time,  bat  in  the  days  of 
the  sixth  sovereign  after  yon.  He  shall 
be  of  the  same  age  as  I  appear  now  to 
have,  and  this  personage  sitting  beside 
me  gives  you  the  air  of  him  that  shall  be 
the  regent  and  protector  of  the  realm. 
During  the  last  year  of  the  regency,  the 
country  shall  be  sold  l)y  certain  ^oung 
men,  but  he  shall  then  take  np  the  cause, 
and  acting  in  conjunction  with  the  young 
king,  shall  establish  the  throne  on  a 
sure  footing  ;  and  this  in  such  away,  that 
never  was  before,  or  ever  afterwards 
»hall  be  seen  in  Sweden  so  great  a  king. 
All  the  Swedes  shall  be  happy  under  him; 
the  public  debts  shall  be  paid  ;  he  shall 
have  many  millions  iu  tie  treasury,  and 
shall  not  die  but  at  a  very  advanced  age: 
y -t  before  he  is  firmly  seated  on  his 
throne,  shall  an  effusion  of  blood  -take 
place  unparalleled  in  history.  ,'Yon"  add- 
ed he,  "who  are  king  of  this  nation,  see 
that  he  is  advertised  of  these  matters:  you 
have  seen  all  ;  act  according  to  yonr  wis- 
dom." 

Having  thus  said,  the  whole  vanished, 
and  fadds  he  J  we  saw  nothing  but  our- 
selves and  our  flambeaus,  while  the  ante- 
chamber throngtv  which  we  passed  on  re- 
turning  was  no  longer  clothed  in  black. 

+  We  entered  my  apartment,  and  1  sat 
Immediately  down  to  write  what  I  have 
seen  :  as  also  the  predictions  as  well  as  I 
conld.  That  all  is  true,  I  swear  by  my 
name  and  honor:  §o  help  me  God  in  body 
and  soul, 

Charles  the  xi.  this  day  king  of  Sweden, 
In  the  year  1691,  on  the  llth,  of  Decem- 
ber, As  witnesses,  being  present  on  the

has  reported,  which  we  affirm  by  onr  oath

consideration.  It  is  written  by  men  who,  be- 
ing persecated  in  England  for  for  religion's 
sake,  left  their  homee,  their  friends,  an-J  a 
uouDtry  endeared  to  them  by  every  tie  that 
can  attach  man  to  any  land,  and  settled  the 
wilderness  of  New  England  under  the  most 
trying  circumstances,  and  with  the  greatest 
hardships  imsgenable. 

Onr  government  is  a  theocracy,  with  a  de- 
mocratic tendency,*  and  there  is  a  continaal 
•truf  gle ;  bat  in  all  onr  difisrences  and  dis- 
patet  hitherto  the  better  part  has  prevailed. 
When  other mesHB  fail,  oar  teacher,  Mr.  Col- 
on, preaches  a  sermon,  and  with  copious  re- 
fer D  -es  to  the  old  Hebrew  lawgivers  and  pro- 
phets settles  the  matter,  f  Church  members 
»nly  are  eligible  to  oiflce,  and  none  others  can 
vote  at  electionsl ;  the  governors  of  men  ma$t 
be  the  servants  of  God  ;  and  in  our  govern- 
ment nngodiy  men  shall  in  no  way  have  hand 
or  voice  ;  bat  we  will  govern  them,  and  in  all 
ways  watch  and  curb  them ;  for,  indeed,  we 
left  onr  pleasant  homes  in  old  England,  tore 
np  oar  roots  there,  and  transplanted  oarselvea 
here  not  for  the  purpose  of  tolerating  wicked- 
ness of  any  kind,  bat  for  qaite  another  pur- 
pose. We  came  here  to  worship  the  God  of 
heavtn  ;  to  lead  pore  and  holy  lives ;  and  to 
train  up  onr  children  in  the  way  they  should 
go. 

In  liberty  and  eqnality  we  do  not  believe  ;'• 
our  faith  is  that  men  who  are  set  in  high  pla* 
oes  are  the  ministers  and  vicegerents  of  the 
Almighty  on  earth,  and  bound  to  execute  the 
judgments  of  God ;  that  the  confirmed  evil- 
doer should  be  swept  away ;  that  the  tree 
which  bears  not  good  fruit  should  be  hewn 


)  down  and  cast  inti  tfttitre.  "We  believt,  too, 
that  deKrees  among  men  sfaotld  be  indintij  I

regulation  of  these  they  allow  the  people  iul 
due  influence. 

t  Here  we  see  the  blessings  attending  a  ml 
ligions  state.     Irreligion  is  st-Ififih,  has  itsowof 
aims  and  ends;  but  the   religious  eommunit):

have  entered  into  the  narrower  bonds  of  thtl 
charch  by  becoming  proftssors  ;  bntnotthoiej 
who  Berfly  contribute.  By  this  regolhtiool 
they  kept,  as  every  church  managed  on  reli-l 
f ioas  principles,  the  irreligiooe  from  havingj 
any  influence  in  the  church.  They  conld  at- 
tend worship,  buy  seats,  and  pay  coDtribnt-| 
ions,  bot  they  could  not  vote. 

•  Memorable  words. 

fHere  the  reliRious  consciousness  has  not| 
fully  matured.     The  puritan  has  to  learn  u- 
other  ieason.

Playing  at  Society  Rooms. 


Games  of  chance  of  any  kind  are  objection- 
able. Playing  for  money,  leads  to  rain ;  is 
highly  immoral.  Playing  lor  pastime,  shows 
a  want  of  Intellectual  development,  of  literary 
taste,  and  is  kniing  time.  Playing  to  exercise 
"ingenuity,"  is,  as  the  wise  man  said,  "too 
earnest  for  the  playful,  and  too  plajful  for  the 
earnest."  Societies  that  allow  gaming  within 
their  precincts,  undermine  the  public  health  k 
welfare,  and  ought  to  be  considered  as  such 
by  all  who  wish  the  prosperity  of  their  fellow- 
men.  We  are  led  to  these  remarks  by  recent 
developments  in  oar  Courts  that  some  of  our 
business  men  have  totally  ruined  themselves 
and  those  connected  with  them  by  frequenting 
private  clubs,  in  which  ganfbling  is  carried  on 
to  an  alarming  extent.  A  case  has  recently 
come  to  light,  in  which  it  is  alleged  that  a 
young  merchant,  who  had  hitherto  been  'con- 
sidered prosperous  and  wealthy,  had  rendered 
himself  and  the  house  to  which  he  was  attach- 
ed, irrevocably  bankropt.  Here  we  see  the 
of  playisgatall,  waaaaUgamb- 
ling  must  have  originated  with  playing,  and 
that,  perhaps,  for  pastime,  at  its  commence-

Tne  World  and  the  Prophets 

Those  illustrious  menjwho  like  torches, 
have  consumed  themselves,  in  order  to 
enlighten  others,  have  often  lived  unre- 
warded and  died  unlamented.  But  the 
tongues  of  after  ,  times  have  done  them 
justice  in  one  sense,  yet  injustice  in  anuh- 
er.  They  have  honered  them  with  their 
praise,  but  they  have  disgraced  them 
with  their  pity. — They  pity  them  forsooth, 
because  they  missed  of  present  praise  and 
temporal  emolument :  things  great  indeed 
to  tha  little,  but  little  to  the  great.  Shall 
we  pity  a  hero,  because,  on  the  day  of 
victory,  he  had  sacrificed  a  meal  ?  And 
those  mighty  minds  whom  these  pigmies 
presume  to  commiserate,  but  whom  they 
cannot  comprehend,  were  contending  for 
a  far  nobler  prize  than  any  which  those 
who  pity  them  can  either  give  or  withhold. 
Wisdom  was  their  object,  and  that  ob- 
!ect  they  attained  ;  she  was  their  "  «f- 
ceeding  great  reward.'^  Let  us  therefore 
honor  such  men,  if  we  can,  and  emulate 
them,  if  we  dare ;  but  let  us  bestow  pity, 
not  on  them,  but  on  ourselves,  who  have 
ueither  the  merit  to  deserve  renown,  nor 
the  magnanimity  to  despise  it. — Lacon 

Death  From  a  Spideb's  Bitk.  —  A  lady, 

named  Ann  Eliza  Tyler,  died  saddenly,in  Rioh- 

mond,  Va, ,  from  the  biae  of  a  spider.    She 

was  bitten  on  the  right  cheek  the  night  before 

acd  died  the    following    evening  from    the

SELECT    SENTENCES. 

Custom  is  the  plague  of  wise  men,  and  the 
idol  of  fools. 

No  man  was  ever  cast  down  with  the  inju- 
ries of  fortune,  unless  he  had  before  suflfered 
himself  to  be  deceived  by  her  favors. 

Anger  may  glance  into  the  breast  of  a 
wise  man.  bat  rests  only  in  the  bosom  of 
fools. 

None  more  impatiently  suffer  injuries,  than 
those  that  are  most  forward  in  doing  them. 

By  taking  revenge,  a  man  is  bat  even  with 
his  enemy  j  bat  in  passing  it  over,  he  is  su- 
perior. 

A  more  glorious  victory  cannot  be  gained 
over  another  man,  than  this,  that  when  the  in-

We  should  take  a  prudent  oare  for  the  fh- 
ture,  but  so  as  to  enjoy  the  pr«sen.  It  is  no 
part  of  wisdom,  to  be  miserable  to-day,  because 
we  may  happen  to  be  so  to  monow, 

To  mourn  without  measure,  is  folly  ;  not  to 
moarn  at  all,  insensibillity. 

It  is  ungenerous  to  give  a  man  occasion  to 
blush  at  his  own  ignorance  in  one  thing,  who 
perhaps  may  excel  as  in  nany 

No  object  is  more  pleasing  to  the  eye,  than 
the  sight  of  a  man  whom  you  have  obliged  ; 
nor  any  music  so  agreeable  to  the  ear,  as  the 
voice  of  one  that  owns  you  for  his  benefactor.

loKiAM  IsLAifBa.  The  poaitian  of  tha  Jewa  in 
tha  Ionian  lalands  ia  all  bnt  an  enviable  one. 
They  auffer  much  from  the  prejudieea  of  aa 
ignorant  populace  of  the  Greek  church.  It 
therefore  ia  gratifying  to  learn  that  the  par- 
liament of  the  Ionian  Islands  has  lately  grant- 
ed  to  the  Israelites  of  Corfu  the  sum  of  abont* 
4000  Francs  in  aid  of  their  schools  and  their 
hospital.

Wf  wslofow  oar  highly  respeotdl  sollegnet 
the  Bevds.  0.  P  Fitagerald  formerly  o(  San 
Jose,  and  O  Fisher  of  Stockton  editors  of  the 
Pacifio  Methodist,  on  their  arrival  in  this  city, 
where  their  organ  is  issued  now.  May  their 
genoine  piety  and  seal  cantinne  to  be  instra 
mental  In  promoting  Reverenoe  and  Piety  to- 
wards God  and  Love  to  man.  It  affords  us  a 
heartfelt  gratification  that  the  organ  of  the 
Msthodist  RriBcopal  Chff''''*'  ro<'e*-  with  a  sop- 
port  from  the  members  beynod  the  anticipa- 
of  the  editors. 

This  redounds  highly  to  the  honor  of  the  df. 
nomination  as  also  to  the  state 'and  human- 
ity   In  a  state  where  the  resorts  of  pleasure, 
the  haunts  of  sin  and  elissipation.and  the  Van-., 
ities  of  Life  and  Death— kwoeive  sacrafices  in 
abundance  from  the  profe$md  children  of  the 
World— in   a  state  where  a  base  scurrilous 
presses  flourishes  to  exubepnce,  and  realise* 
from  the  mire  of  corrnptifon  a  disgrace  fully 
rich  booty,  the  professors  of  religion  are  par-i 
ticularly  called  upon  not  to  allow  the  religious 
reformatory  press  to  lag,  or  its  editors  to 
to  pine.    If  folly,  vanity  and  profligacy  swal- 
low the  millions,  only  "the  withered  hand  of  a 
Jeroboam"  can  withold  the  tens  or  units.    We 
therefore  from  oar  heart  hnplow  the  blessing 
a  Father  above  upon  all  onr  citizens  who  lend 
an  aid  to  stern  the  side  of  corruption  among  ua 
May  their  work  advance  prosper,  and  succeed;

IN  MAKING  THE  ABOVE  STAGED 
[  reduction  in  price,  the  proprietor  confident- 
ly anticipates  the  increase  of  demand  for  Baths 
which  the  well  known  benefits  obtained  (rom 
their  use,  and  the  skill  and  caution  wiih  which 
tey  are  administered,  and  the  scrupulous  at- 
tention given  to  cleanliness  in  every  depart- 
ment, wi'h  the  fact  that  these  are  the  only 
BATHS  whose  USE  IS  NOT  permitted  to  persons 
sufifering  from  loathsome  or  infectious  disor- 
ders—all combine  to  warrant,  and  which  alone 
can  sustain  low  figures.  The  friends  of  the 
establishment  are  respectfully  requested  to 
continue  their  good  offices  in  its  behalf  among 
their  friends  and  acquaintances.      je24

Relief  to  Palestine. 

_u  ff^m  ZioB  goat  forth  the  Ijug^TottructioJOL) 
and  Divine  OraeUi  from  Jeroealam." 

Palestine,  indeed,  is  the  cradle  and 
nursery  of  the  three  great  systems  of 
Religion  —  the  great  lever  of  civi'isation 
and  humanism.— Indeed,  frorei  Zion  went 
forth  the  law  that  ^ule^  the  whole  civilis- 
ed world,  and,  indeed  from  Jerusalem 
were  promulgated  the  Oracles  of  the  most 
momentous  import  of  the  hum  d  rac. 

The  Crescent  (the  symbol  of  Moha- 
metanism)  proudly  crowns  Murriah's 
summit  ;  the  Mosque  of  Omar  occupies 
the  site  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon— the 
Cross  has  numbers  of  shrines  in  the  city 
9f  Dav'd,  and  all  (what  are   called  civil- 

led  Gentyle)  natio  s  are  attracted  to  the 

oly  City  by  if,  and  bow  their  kneps 
before  il.  And,  shall  Jeru-alem  be 
trodden  under  the  foot  of  the  gentile 
only  ?  Shall  the  inborn  not  have  a  spot 
whither  to  lay  his  head,  while  the  sons 
of  the  stranger  cover  the  whole  breadth 


nixn  "  religious  dutiea"  from  the  sancti- 
fying power  they  excercise  on  the  agent 
(on  account  of  their  subjective  merit), 
withput  regard  to  the  objective  good 
performed.  The  s'ght  of  this  perforniance 
called  forth  in  our  mind  the  story  of 
Cicero  on  a,  in  some  respect,  similar 
occasion.  [See  "  Saved  froin  Shipwreck," 
40  these  Golunawt.] -.^ 


The  lVI«»senger  from 
Jerusalem.  \ 

In  noticing  that  a  Society  for  the  Relief 
of  the  Poor  of  Palestine  was  started  in 
this  city,  we  omitted  to  mention  ihit 
R.  Nissan,  a  messenger,  sent  from  Jeru- 
salem to  all  Jewish  s*  ttlemen's,  rea  hed 
here  lately,  and  it  is  he  who  ga^ 
the  impulse  to  the  society,  / 

R  Nissan  is  provided  with  excellent 
certificates  from  Jerusa'em  and  from 
other  quarters.  He  is  universally  well 
received,  and  seems  to  be  an  unobtrusive 
honest  man. 


Bible  in  their  hands,  should  deny  tliel 
tincticn  between  truth  and  error,  and  tW 
as  if  ashamed  of  what  they  had  done 
I  it  by  the  venerated  name  of  iiberalityj 
This  liberality,  however,   tiinis  oiiti 
be  a  one-sided  principle.     Its   toleratf 
of  error  is  unqualified  and  unconditioj 
almost  as  if  the  fsctof  its  being  errorl 
titled  it  to  toleration,  and  even  eneouraj 
ment.     Its  to'oration  of  truth  is  grudg

Relief  for  Palestine. 


On  Monday  evening;  last,  pursuant  to  a  eaU 
of  Henry  Selictman  Esq.,  a  Meeting  was  held 
at  the  at.  Nicholas  Hotel,  which  had  for  its 
object  the  relief  of  our  indigent  brethren  in 
Palestine.  After  some  interchange  of  ideas,  the 
object  of  this  association  was  fully  set  forth 
and  approved,  and  the  society  was  after  a 
short  debate,  regarding  the  name,  duly  named, 
OuABAi  Zion  "  Friends  of  Zion,"  with  the 
following  gentlemen  as  temporary  officers  : 
.  Rev.  Dr.  Elkan  Cohn,  President. 
•Bev.  Drs.  H.  A.  Henry  and  Julius  Eck- 

man,  Vice-Presidents. 
Messrs.    Seixas    Solomons    and    J.   N. 
(.'boynaki,  Secretaries. 
Mr.  M.  Mayblum,  Treasurer. 
Mr.  M   H.  Ashim, "

The  Society  has  already  taken  steps  to 
enlist  the  syuipaihies  of. every  Israelite  in 
Calilbrnia  in  favor  of  this  equitable  measure. 
And,  judging  from  apparent  circumstances,  we 
think  that  future  success  will  attend  the  efforts 
of  those  who  have  so  willingly  taken  the 
initiative  in  pro«uring  relief  for  the  wants  Of 
their  suffering  brethren  at  the  distant  East.

Jerusalem  (the  ensign  of  the  naiionn)  the 
sons  of  the  stranger  from  the  most  dist  - 
ant  land,  and  shall  the  inditlerence  of 
Judah's  sons,  be  the  barrier  Ihat  keeps 
the  scattered  sons  of  Israel  from  humbly 
sojourning  in  the  land  on  which  lived 
their  patriarchs,  their  kings,  and  their 
proph  ts  I 

A  sense  of  honor,  of  propriety  and  of 
our  duty  to  see  some  portion  of  our 
ancient  capital  and  land  occupied  by 
the  descendants  of  those  who  gave  to 
that  spot  and  land  a  significance  which 
no  other  on  the  whole  globe  ever  has 
reached,  nor  ever  can  reach  —  impose 
upon  us  the  task  to  do  something  f  )r  the 
poor  of  the  Holy  land.  Con^dering  the 
actual  want  of  our  brethren,  essistance 
(which,  however  faulty  the  mode  of  alle- 
viating is)  is  at  all  events  befer  (till  a 
better  mode  be  devised)  than  neglect— 
and  considering  the  small  amount  re.]U  r- 
cd,  we  hope  the  benevolent  will  assist 
either  for  Jerusalem's  sake  (as  either  a 
holy  or  classic  spot)  for  charity's  fake, 
or,  not  to  do  violence  to  the  better 
sensibilities  of  their  own  nature. 

Charity  to  the  Departed.

Lately  a  party  having  occasion  to  visit 
a  burial  ground,  already  closed  up,  found 
that  on  the  higher  portion  of  the  soil, 
the  rains  has  washed  away  the  sand  and 
exposed  a  small  portion  of  a  coffin,  the 
recoptable  of  the  remains  of  a  child.  A 
friend,  of  truly  pious  disposition,  took  a 
shovel  aiid  performed  the  act  of  love  to 
properly  cover  the  eiposed  corner. 

Knowing  the  religious  idea  of  the 
worthy  man,  we  thought,  what  a  blessing  it 
would  be  to  man  if  we  all  felt  our  rela- 
tion and  imniediate  connection  with  a 
spiritual  world.  For  here  we  saw  an 
act  of  love  performed,  from  a  pure 
motive  of  non  mS'OJ  ''  charity,"  to  the 
remains  of  a  child  whose  very  parents 
perhaps  no  more  know  the  spot.  The 
question  here  is  not  whether  it  makes 
any  difference  at  all*  to  our  souls  how  our 
clay  coil  is  disposed  of,  such  acts  are  true 


The      Wds      Lllierallty. 

Along  with  progress,  the  age  boasts  of 
its  liberality.  Let  us  see  how  far  it  can 
make  its  boasting  good.  True  liberality 
is  a  blessed  thing,  for  it  is  but  another 
name  for  the  love  that  'breathes  all  things.' 
that  "thinketh  do  evil."  With  this,  how- 
ever, the  liberality  of  the  age  has  nothing 
in  cnmmnn.  7/f  fiffimc.e.  is.  indifference  to 
sin  and  error.  Its  object  is,  to  smoothe 
down  the  distinctions  between  good  and 
evil ;  between  holiness  and  sin  ;  between 
the  sanctuary,  and  the  worldj  between  the 
belief  of  God  s  Word  and  the  Infidelity  of 
Atheism.  All  saying  and  doings  in  gov- 
ernment, in  the  Legislature,  in  society, 
in  corporations  or  private  intercourse,  are 
based  upon  the  axiom  that  there  is  no 
real  difference  between  these  things,  so 
that  man  is  not  only  not  re-^ponsible  for 
actirg  upon  it,  but  that  it  would  be  in- 
tolerance and  presumption  in  him  to  do 
8  >.  Kings  are,  therefore,  to.  rule  as  if 
there  were  no  such  distinction,  forgetting 
by  whom  they  reign.*  Judges  are  to 
to  know  no  such  distinc  ion,  forgetting 
that  they  are  to  judge  "in  the  fear  of  the 
Lord."  Society  is  to  be  constructed 
vvithout  reference  to  any  such  distinction; 
as  if  morality  were  not  the  basis  of  all 
society  ;  as  if  properly  was  unsOitable 
for  the  regulation  of  the  world.  But  is 
not  this  "calling  good  evil,  and  evil  good 
— puttiug  daikn.  ss  for  light,  and  light  lor 
darkness— putting  bitter  for  sweet,  anji 
sweet  for  bitter  1 

We  see  this  liberality  in  the  kind  things 
spoken  of  Unbelief.  Education  from 
whii  h  God  is  shut  out,  and  in  which  the 
Bible  has  no  place,  is  contended  for,  even 
hymen  who  c. 11  themselves  religious; 
and  this  is  natned  liberality;  to  hold 
fellowship  with  the  avowed  Infidel,  for  the 
sake  of  his  science ;  to  sit  at  the  table  of 
the  licentious,  on  tlxe  score  of  his  artistic 
fame, — these  are  common  things  amongst 
us,  and  all  are  honoured  by  the  name  of 
lilcrality  !  Because  our  fathers  condemnd 
these  things ;  because  "they  abhorred 
that  which  was  evil,  and  cleaved  to  that 
which  w.iS  good,"  they  are  branded  as 
intolerant  and  narrowminded ;  and  be- 
cause our  own  age  has  thus  filled  up  the 
gulf  between  the  good  and  evil,  it  is 
honoured  with  the  name  of  enlightened  1 
Thus  to  blot  out  the  difference  between 
truth  and  error  has  been  the  feat  of  the 
age.  For  this  it  praises  itself,  pitying 
the  littleness  and  coctractedness  of  other 
days  and  other  minds.  In  »o  doing  it 
forgets  that  no  man  is  narrow-minded 
who  expends  to  the  full  circle  of  truth, 
and  that  the  first  step  beyond  that  is  real 
contractedness  of  spirit.  Indifference  to 
error  is  not  true  liberality,  unless  it  can 
be  shewn  that  the  Bible,  the  Book  of 
Truth,  is  equally  latitudinarian,  and 
equally  indifferent  to  error.  It  is  an 
appalling  fact,  that  men,  with  the  Bible, 
the  Book  of  Truth,  is  equally  iatitudinar 
rian,  and  equally  indifferent  to  error.  It 
is  an  appalling  fact,   that  men  with  the

content  to  receive  it  as  such  rather  \\ 
submit  their  sacred   treasure  to  tlie 
of    a   strict    reason.      Time,   the 
assayer,  however,  is  at  work,  slowly 
true — for  what  dross  is  there  that  ell

Walkings  on  the  Water,  i 

As  some  few  weeks  ago  with  chain 
cannon,  so  did  lately  some  person  here 
furnish  material  for  news-paper  items, by 
stating  himself  to  be  the  inventor  of 
some  miniature  baots  to  walk  with  them 
on  the  water.  The  process  i*  simple 
enough,  if  a  larger  canoe  can  carry  a  man

the  same.  However,  8s  with  cha  n  can- 
non so  with  walking  on  the  water,  the 
invention  is  not  new,  as  will  be  seen 
from  an  item  in  thi1^||clurons.

Little  Sophy,  was  a  gentle,  and  kind 
hearted  child  :  she  had  a  emile  for  every  one. 
Well  may  the  bereaved  parents  lament  the 
sudden  separation  from  so  loVely  a  soul. 

So  far,  during  our  labors  of  nearly  seven 
years  and  a  half,  we  were  spared  the  sad  duty 
of  following  any  of  our  pupils  to  their  last 
resting  place.  This  gentle  lamb  was  the  first 
that  was  called  from  our  little  flock  to  be 
gathered  into  the  great  fold  of  the  Great 
Shepherd. 

It  aSbrds  us  great  satisfaction  to  bear  that 
the  child  in  its  latter  hours,  (during  high 
fevfr)  frtquently  repeated  her  night  prayer, 
which  shows  that  our  young  disciple  carried 
religious  impressioDS  with  her  to  her  Ueaven-

ex<-rt  a  b«althy  Influence  over  the  whole  after  life  of  the 
I'upils,  Is  still  a  desideratum  In  ihiit  city. 

The  Harmonla  Schoo'  Is  making  every  cffnrr  to  lupply 
this  want,  and  rtjoloea  already  In  such  a  prcmisirg  pat-

Puroota  have  thi  cho  ca  to  have  their  children  address- 
ed in  German  or  English. 

The  confliiement  of  children  at  too  early  an  aee,  and 
their  premature  intellectual  development  la  highly  de. 
precable.  Yet,  niiiny  parents  find  it,  as  wca«e,  accept- 
able to  see  their  children  guarded  from  street  influences 
and  (home)  accideiitit,  by  placini;  thum  nnder  tho  viard- 
iansh  p  of  ladies,  who  by  u  motherly  treatment,  will  very 
early  and  especially  cultivate  In  them  the  affecliooal 
and  moral  flicultii^s  ;  who  will  cntertiiin  them  agreeably — 
partly  by  inetructlou,  by  Bionem,  by  play  things  and  other- 
wiae;'and  that,  in  a  'ocality  so  large  and  lofty,  that,  wb'le 
it  keeps  th«  young  from  tlie  dnngtrs  and  influences  of  the 
the  ttrcet,  cannot  be  considered  cuutintment.

appiopriate  internal  arrangement  and  icanageiLeDt,  af- 
fording to  pupils  those  rare  (accommodations. 

Such  a  fchool  orghttomeet  with  that  support  wHlch, 
aimilar  establishments  have  met  in  Prussia  and  northeiD 
Oermany;  in  which  country,  these  Imtitutes,  on  account  of 
their  U8efu  ne«s,  are  the  epecial  care  and  proviaion  of 
Government. 

The  devotion  of  the  undersigned  to  the  cause  of  educa. 
tion  is  fully  known,  by  hi«  labors  to  thiacity  tiui't  full 
seven  years.  Hals  determined  to 'make  the  Harinonia 
School  his  special  cart ;  so  that,  while  it  la  principally  un 
der  the  management  of  ladles — a  great  advantage  for  the 
young — he  will,  by  liis  perlal  care  and  imperintandance 
try  to  Introdu  e  into  it  that  harmony  and  unity  of  action 
whlcii  Ii  so  ueceaeary  for  tho  maintenance  of  a  lonnd  and 
healthy  discipline. 

Speeial  care  will  be  taken  to  see  the  children  rafely  to 
and  from  school.  Children  Ihring  on  the  other  aide  cf  tho
